I read that in the 1950s(?), a man was digging and found the skeleton of a young woman. Her hands and feet were cut off and her bones were riveted down. This was done to people executed for witchcraft so they wouldn't walk as a vampire. Oddly enough, shortly after the discovery, the man's house burned down. Neighbors claimed it was his punishment for disturbing the grave.
People beleved in some really folklorish tales which were started by corrupt people usually in the clergies who didn't like it if a certain man or woman went against what they believed and so this is why the Salem Witch Trials were so infamous because the whole thing was started by corrupt church pastors and squires who had political aspirations they didn't want exposed by the people who opposed them.
Is that actually from "The Lost Boys" I think the grandfather said it, I forgot the name of where they lived. It was California, Santa.... Something. That's a great movie, I watched it many times when I was young
I remember reading this story in the 70’s, already obsessed with the novel Dracula l searched for anything to feed my vampire obsession. You looked really lovely in this vid Laura, very vampiric.
What’s weird is I’ve come ti realize that most things I’d never believe were real are, in fact, real… according to many ppl (so who am I to say they’re wrong), but the one entity no one has said they’ve seen, who they swear is real, are vampires. Abs no one claims that they are real, they they’ve seem one. Nothing. Except some weird, but human, vamp-fans.
@@RedneckSith As we have no remains of any dead vampires, one can surmise that they are actually harder to "kill" than you suppose, and having lived for thousands of years are intelligent enough not to be detected.
"A lunatic may have escaped from a local asylum." What I love is the inference here that in Victorian Britain, you were never more than a mile from a poorly-guarded granite institution overflowing with lunatics, all hell-bent on getting out in order to scratch at the windows of the nearest bungalow.

Don't laugh - back then each county, and possibly large town had its own insane asylum, usually somewhere remote. There was a lot of nasty lore attached to them - sadly some of which still circulates (and even gets given a form of dubious authority by some religious groups) today.
Glad to see someone covering this in more depth. This story has always been exceptional for its specific location, realistic corpse/shriveled brown vampire. The detail of picking the lead to get inside also always seemed a strange piece to completely fabricate.
@@NigelJackson Either Varney borrowed from the Croglin tradition before it was actually written down or lead picking was a known way of breaking into a house.
@@Jim-Mc Could be. Accounts of strange occurences could well cross over into popular literary culture and vice versa. In any case I've always been fascinated by the very eerie story of the Croglin Grange Vampire since I first read it in Donald F. Glut's 'True Vampires of History' as a lad in the 1970s. One of the foremost English vampire cases...
I remember one article in a book claiming the residents in Croglin Grange denouncing the story there of a vampire, but they did have a story about a ghostly pig.
There are vast histories and lore about the undead in Celtic and Bretonic mythology. The belief was that if these creatures were mentioned that it gave them substance. It is a common belief around the world in different cultures. The anthology of vampire stories called Dracula's Brood is fascinating. I bought a copy in Dublin in 1988 and loved it. I still have it and it's well read.
Thank you Laura and Erik. You guys are great! Love watching the subject matter you go over, especially with presenting the facts, and being fair with going over it as stated respecting those involved and also wrapping it up for both scientific/factual people and those who believe in the paranormal/unexplained. We rarely see mistakes made, showing how in-depth your research is, highlighting how much work goes into these projects. It opens people's eyes to things that may have been missed, especially with how certain things influence others with their content. Those sitting on the fence with some of these subjects get the majority of the insight needed. I look forward to seeing more questionable things, especially the anomalies out there that make you go outside the box to try and wrap your head around it all. Also, happy new year to you both and everyone else who enjoys the content.
@@TheParanormalScholar They romanticize vampirism way too much being a vampire is actually a very horrifying thing to become. It is better to be dead than to be cursed to be a vampire. I seen another researcher who stated that the original vampires were people who were cursed by the Almighty God because they were having sex with the dead so those people who were going into tombs and to graves mutilating bodies and having sex with dead people were cursed by God to become the undead vampires.
I've heard this story, but you've added a lot of details I've never known until now. And I never realized that England has its own vampire story traditions. I always thought the idea of vampires were brought over from Eastern Europe. Now that would have been a twist to "Dracula." The Count arrives in England assuming the citizenry won't know anything about vampires and combating them only to discover to his horror that he's wrong!
The Strigoi are mentioned in the book by the Romanian locals who are in fear and give Jonathan Harker a cross to wear at least in the movie. Now in the book, I don't think he is given anything by the locals riding with him in the carriage.
Vampire is a western creation, originally Vampyre which was the sophisticated and charismatic vampire we all know today, first written about in 1819 in the UK by English writer John Polidori with his publication of The Vampyre. The story was highly successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century. Bam Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend, even though it was published after fellow Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 novel Carmilla. The genre, is still popular in the 21st century, with books, films, TV shows, and games. The vampire has since become a dominant figure in the horror genre. However, the basic concept of what we call a vampire in modern times has been around since ancient civilisations. Just under different names, but all sharing the basic formula of what we deem a vampire. Local variants in Southeastern Europe were known by shtriga in Albania, vrykolakas in Greece (Lamia ancient Greece), and strigoi in Romania, cognate to Italian 'Strega', meaning Witch. Interestingly enough the Ekimmu of ancient Assyria share the same basic formula. Assyrians ruled the largest empire then yet assembled in world history, spanning from parts of modernday Iran in the east to Egypt in the west. So, this human creation was global. It is interesting because all origins for the things we consider evil, vampires, demons, evil spirits, ghosts and such. All come from Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians). Ancient civilisations that predate the Greeks, which is interesting due to the fact Western societies ideology stems from the Greeks. Hence when looking for the origins of such things, the path will take you straight to the Greeks, and of course another big issues, religion. The bible, which they deem to be the origins of everything. But, this is not the case. Our reality and our truth today is only a dozen generations old, fact of the matter is it constantly changes so right now what we deem the past, will soon be what those in the future will deem us. It's rather interesting how far back such creations go, Heck we are still discovering things with human history that predates the ancient civilisations I've stated, which could be the true origins of these things. Either way, all of this seems to be something humans have established since we came into existence. It's what we create for the unknown things we struggle to understand, be it scientific, natural, psychological, psychopathology, and psychodynamic. We naturally must have an answer for everything and hold the belief we know all. It is fascinating. I like to believe that I am ignorant in many things, nothing is concrete fact and our truths are influenced by many things, we as humans seem to have core belief and ideas that have remained from the earliest point in human history, to now in modern times. This is also why I opted to start with the text I chose, to show how an origin is dictated by name. These names for such concept is a road block, when looking for the true origin of the concept.
@@ryanfreebody6881 It's funny you mention The Vampyre and Camilla, who is supposed to be the offspring of Dracula who is actually stronger and older than Dracula himself as a Vampire herself. I've not read either book strangely and only know Camilla exists because of the second movie of Vampire Hunter D where she is one of vampire nobles D is sent to kill off.
Don't forget that a lot of 'English' settlers in olden times were actually from central, eastern and northern Europe, who could well have brought the original myths with them. I vaguely recall reading a collection of veteran English vampire lore tales which took stories back to Saxon times, so the tales go back much, much further than Victorian gothic romance. Sheridan le Fanu - who I think may have known Bram Stoker, wrote a very good tale, Camilla, about, of all things, a lesbian vampire in the 1870s which, I think manages to pre-date Dracula.
There's alot to unpack here. A captivating report. Your visit and investigation into what's left of Croglin Grange is intriguing and lends a great deal of credence to the tale. Most enjoyable. Thanks Laura! Happy New Year!
I'm not going to explain all the math I did to get to this conclusion because it's several paragraphs of figures, but I recently went and calculated the average amount of people a vampire would eat a day if they had the feeding requirements of a vampire bat. It's at least 7 people a day. So that's why they're such a big problem.
Dear Laura and Erik, what a fabulously eerie tale. I actually had goosebumps when it was scratching at the window. Even though this story has been told before, I am sure never as well as you tell it. The bricked up window with horseshoes for protection is suggestive that something specific is happening to the people who live there. I can assure you that if I ever purchase a home with obvious protections, I will be happy to keep those items in place - just in case…. I wish you both well in this new year and look forward to seeing more videos. ❤Brenda P
I read this story somewhere in a book as a youngster. I recall the bit with the brother shooting the vampire in the leg and then going to the burial vault to find the corpse in the coffin with a leg wound.
😮I had a big old book of ghost stories, it may have been called Ghosts, with this one in it. I loved it, read it til it fell apart and was never able to find it again...I did once think I had, but it turned out to be an expurgated American version, they took out a few of the best stories!! I remember the scariest ones like Minuke, and The Last Traveler, and the author talking about his brother who had died as a child so was therefore never really considered to have lived...
I actually watched your "read advertisement" because you made it entertaining!!! This is how advertisement used to work. Now, they try to annoy the crap out of you. This was refreshing!
Another fantastic video, Laura! That horseshoe covered window is fascinating. Something definitely happened there for someone to have worked so hard to exorcise it!
What a nice way to spend the next 17:05 minutes, three hours before 2024!!!!!!😊 Happy new year Laura and everyone else, I wish you all good health and happiness ❣️🧿
Thank you for another great video with such wonderful narration. This channel just keeps getting better and better. Please don't stop making such fantastic and wonderful content for this amazing channel.
Very nice and informative video. I read about this vampire story years ago as a child,but your video showed me some new information.Another vampire story you may interested in,that's not so grim ,the Gorbals Vampire.
I first read about this story about 20 years ago….and maybe because the rendition came with (very good) illustrations, it remains of the scariest (*for me*) vampire stories I’ve ever heard. Also to note is that the version I read ((from what I learned later on there should be like dozens of versions of this tale, all varying from one another in this or that detail)) said the sister was attacked more than once by the vampire and was then brought to a seashore town to recuperate, only for the creature to attack again shortly after the family was back at Croglin Grange - and that second time is when one of the brothers shot the creature.
Thanks for all the wonderful stories you've shared with us and all your hard work. Best wishes to you and your hubby for the new year. I look forward to your tall tales for 2024. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe all through the New Year and beyond.😁🧐👽🛸👾🤡🎃🕸️🙀🤖😈👻

I read that in the 1950s(?), a man was digging and found the skeleton of a young woman. Her hands and feet were cut off and her bones were riveted down. This was done to people executed for witchcraft so they wouldn't walk as a vampire. Oddly enough, shortly after the discovery, the man's house burned down. Neighbors claimed it was his punishment for disturbing the grave.
thats why they cut off hands & feet, wow
People beleved in some really folklorish tales which were started by corrupt people usually in the clergies who didn't like it if a certain man or woman went against what they believed and so this is why the Salem Witch Trials were so infamous because the whole thing was started by corrupt church pastors and squires who had political aspirations they didn't want exposed by the people who opposed them.

If vampires exist they go unnoticed completely.
What’s weird is I’ve come ti realize that most things I’d never believe were real are, in fact, real… according to many ppl (so who am I to say they’re wrong), but the one entity no one has said they’ve seen, who they swear is real, are vampires.

Of course. If we knew they existed, do you think we'd suffer them to exist among us?
@@RedneckSith As we have no remains of any dead vampires, one can surmise that they are actually harder to "kill" than you suppose, and having lived for thousands of years are intelligent enough not to be detected.
Not completely unnoticed, many now work at the Inland Revenue

Deinstitutionalization and it's consequences have been a disaster for Europe and America.
Glad to see someone covering this in more depth. This story has always been exceptional for its specific location, realistic corpse/shriveled brown vampire. The detail of picking the lead to get inside also always seemed a strange piece to completely fabricate.

Master of the English storyteller. Well done 👍
It makes me contemplate all the possibilities both real and imagined that substantiate these stories.
I'm not sure but I think even Tacitus wrote of our belief in monsters and mysterious creatures
Oh thank you for this video.. as a loner introvert I'll just take a shower and watch this before going to sleep later.. in a few hours

💯 watching thos when I get home
Very nice and informative video. I read about this vampire story years ago as a child,but your video showed me some new information.Another vampire story you may interested in,that's not so grim ,the Gorbals Vampire.
I first read about this story about 20 years ago….and maybe because the rendition came with (very good) illustrations, it remains of the scariest (*for me*) vampire stories I’ve ever heard.
Also to note is that the version I read ((from what I learned later on there should be like dozens of versions of this tale, all varying from one another in this or that detail)) said the sister was attacked more than once by the vampire and was then brought to a seashore town to recuperate, only for the creature to attack again shortly after the family was back at Croglin Grange - and that second time is when one of the brothers shot the creature.
great work!
Thanks for watching!
Love the dress Laura, apropos for this episode
Stephen Kings’ “Salem’s Lot” scared me as a child.
Also had scratching on the window
