The OCD Vampire Tarot Reader: A Dark Journey into the Unknown

In a world teeming with the mundane and the ordinary, there exists a realm for those who dare to embrace the darkness. A world where the mysteries of the unknown can be unlocked through the art of tarot reading.

But not just any tarot reading, this is a journey led by the OCD Vampire, a reader who doesn’t merely pull cards, but channels the essence of the vampire itself.

For those who believe in the power of the night, the pull of the moon, and the call of the paranormal, my tarot readings offer more than just insight, they are a portal to a world of hidden truths, where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary.

Into the Heart of Darkness: The Haunting Mystery of Romania’s Hoia-Baciu Forest

Subtitle: Where Time Stands Still, and Shadows Whisper the Truth

The Forest That Shouldn’t Be: A Paranormal Beacon in Transylvania

Deep in the heart of Romania, on the outskirts of Cluj-Napoca, lies a forest so enigmatic, so unnerving, that it has been dubbed “The Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania.” The Hoia-Baciu Forest is not just Romania’s most haunted forest—it is a global landmark in paranormal history, occult phenomena, and gothic folklore. With roots reaching as far back as 6500 BC, this eerily beautiful woodland predates recorded Romanian civilization and remains shrouded in mystery.

The Real Story Behind Regan MacNeill From The Exorcist

We all know that actual events often inspire many movies and stories. What ‘true events’ and ‘real life events’ mean is left to the one telling the story. So, who inspired the most horrifying movie of all time, The Exorcist?

The Horror Is Sometimes Real In Movies

Lately, it has been on my mind just how many movies, TV shows, and other pop culture references are based on events that happened in reality. Especially when it comes to horror and mystery movies.

I have touched on films and the stories behind movies like Scream, Annabelle, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and even The Exorcist was based on a true story.

The Hunting Legacy Of The Ohio Reformatory

There are haunted places all around the world. Despite North America’s youth, it’s not shy of its fair share of hauntings. Dora talks to us about the Ohio Reformatory.

The Overall Ohio Reformatory

In the heart of Mansfield, Ohio, stands a structure whose towering tips and Gothic architecture cast an eerie shadow over its surroundings. The Ohio Reformatory.

While the prison’s menacing pretense could rival any European castle, the unsettling tales from within its walls have solidified its place in the annals of America’s most haunted destinations.

Remember 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville Horror?

Many houses rhyme with horror, but one in particular comes to mind, and we can even see the two croissant windows. Paula talks to us about the history of pop culture in Amityville.

The Address We Can’t Forget

This address has been popularized in movie culture since 1979. Countless movies have been filmed about the incident, and books have been written about its story. This is one address that all crime fans will remember for eternity. It’s similar to how everyone connects to 221B Baker Street with Sherlock Holmes.

I have seen a few movies based on the Amityville incident but did not realize how many films had been released around the fateful night of November 13th, 1974.

What Is The Legacy Of Ed And Lorraine Warren?

We all know the names of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Not just because of The Conjuring franchise but also through the paranormal field. After their passing, what is their legacy?

Who Are The Warrens?

Although the paranormal research couple have passed on, Ed and Lorraine Warren are still one of America’s most valued experts on demonology and spirits. It’s not just those interested in the occult world that have turned towards the Warrens for help, but also religious authorities.

In 1952 Ed and Lorraine Warren founded the New England Society of Paranormal Research. Ed was a trained demonologist, Lorraine was a trance medium, and together they were the paranormal research couple.

The Eastern State Penitentiary, A Monument Of Failures

From all the haunted places we come across, some of them remind us that our past isn’t as spotless as we wished. Sometimes, we must remind ourselves where we come from to avoid repeating those mistakes. The Eastern State Penitentiary in the USA is one of them.

A Pioneer Of Its Time And A Little Dark

Eastern State Penitentiary, widely recognized as the pioneering institution in the realm of penal systems, was designed to evoke remorse from its incarcerated individuals, thereby allowing them to deeply reflect upon the misdeeds that resulted in their confinement.

Considered one of the most haunted sites in the US, Eastern State was not known for its ability to rehabilitate its prisoners.

The Elusive Axeman of New Orleans And His Victims

New Orleans is a unique ground for the paranormal and mysteries. This figure might not be paranormal but inflicted much terror in their time. Here is the story of the never found Axeman of New Orleans.

The Rising Terror Of The Axeman

When we think of serial killers that got away, those who come to mind are often Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer. These people escaped justice in the dark of the night, committing murders and keeping their towns on the edge of their seats as they eluded police and inflicted pain while terrorising their neighbourhoods.

It started in May of 1918 in New Orleans before his reign of terror ended in October 1919. A lesser-known serial killer, later named The Axeman of New Orleans, was clever enough to get away with murder as he eluded the authorities to this day. He became one of New Orleans’ unsolved mysteries.

The Odaxelagnia Paraphilia Complex

Many kinks are now part of our daily lives as they make their way into our phones or while browsing. With the inclusion of so many types of romance novels, among other entertainment, one caught my attention, odaxelagnia. Let’s dive in!

The Quick Overall View Of Odaxelagnia

The simplest way to put it, odaxelagnia ranges itself in the paraphilia family. Odaxelagnia is, at its core, achieving orgasmic or sexual arousal through biting your partner or the other way around.

Some researchers consider odaxelagnia to be sadomasochism at a mild level. Often the bites resemble nibbling, which is quite similar to many mammals in the wild when performing sexual intercourse.

The Merkins Are The Perfect Holiday Boy Band

The Merkins are a musical band dedicated to the horror of all occasions! The holidays rarely rhyme with horror or slasher flicks. But The Merkins somehow make it work.

The Holiday Cheers All Around

“In my life, I’ve done a lot of waiting: Waiting on Halloween to come back around…as I stood in line and did some deep thinking, I realized I could celebrate Halloween all year round.”
— Michael Myers as Forrest Gump

That’s right, Biters. I meant to have this article out for October, but I missed that deadline. But that’s okay because, as goths, we let our Halloween spirit run all year long, including the Winter Solstice / Yule / Christmas.

Lycanthropy Is Much More Than Howling At The Moon

We know the word werewolf, but the technical term is lycanthrope, and the accurate clinical term is lycanthropy. But what does that mean?

What Is Lycanthropy, And Where Did It Come From

The delusion that someone must metamorphose into an animal or be one is a psychiatric syndrome. The scientific community calls it Clinical Lycanthropy.

The term itself leads to the affliction of physically morphing into a wolf. Of course, it is impossible and linked to the paranormal phenomenon that is a werewolf. However, it is, to this day, still a disorder despite its rarity.

The Vampire Disease From The Dark Ages To Today

The Vampire Disease. Many people heard of it but do people really know what it is? Or what it means to the people who live with it? I have the illness at a mild level. Here’s how it goes!

Beware, Vampires Are Out Of The Coffin! Really, Read The Warning!

This article contains graphic descriptions of the medical condition widely spread as ‘Vampire Disease’ and its symptoms. The following article is an in-depth dive into the illness and what it implies, and what it is like for people like me to live with this condition.

If you are sensitive to medical tools, treatment, and physical descriptions of diseases, I recommend skipping this article. Because the illness can relate to mental disorders, I also recommend ensuring all readers are comfortable with the nervous system and brain illnesses.

The Story Of The 19th Century Forgotten Cannibal

A subject that remains taboo to this day is cannibalism. Somehow serial killers that commit repetitive scenarios are unforgivable, but if we add cannibalism to their title, somehow, they become another kind of evil. But this one slipped through the cracks.

The Forgotten Ones

From murders to mass shootings, our history knows its fair share of serial killers. Many of them hope to reach the ultimate glory of having their name remembered, such as Ted Bundy and Richard Ramirez.

Over time, some slip through the cracks of history pages and become an afterthought. Some have minimal information about them and what they did is unknown to the public.

Batman’s The Joker Is The Greatest Villain And Here Is Why

Have you ever thought about the psychological state of Batman’s villains? I do. So, let’s dive in and learn more about the worst that Gotham has to offer!

How It Started For Joker

In Spring 1940, the Joker made its first appearance in Batman #1. A few of us don’t know that he was meant to be a one-issue villain. We know that he is Batman’s archnemesis, but he is also a criminal mastermind. So, let’s see about the Joker’s psychological file!

However, due to his popularity, the prankster continued his journey in the comic book. Despite his popularity, reinvented as a harmless villain, the Joker fell into the abyss until the 70s.

The Hellish Killer Who Fought With Joan of Arc

Gilles de Rais or Baron de Rais, was a knight and lord from Brittany, Anjou and Poitou. He was a leader in the French army, and a companion-in-arms of Joan of Arc. So, how is it that his reputation turned to a killer of children?

The True Face Of Evil

Gilles ‘Baron’ de Rais fought alongside Joan of Arc at the Siege of Orléans. This was around La Roche-Bernard in France in September 1438.

de Rais was a young lord who was hailed as a hero. So, understandably any mother would be honored to have their ten-year-old son go live with de Rais and become his page. Unbeknownst to the mother, she would never see her young son again.

Butchered Surgery With A Side Of Cream

Today’s journey takes us to another infamous doctor, a bit lesser-known than Harold Shipman but just as deadly from the United Kingdom.

Not All Doctors Are Good

Thomas Neill Cream, or Dr. Cream, was a Scottish-Canadian medical doctor, graduate from the Montréal McGill University in Québec, Canada. It earned him the moniker of the Lamberth Poisoner as he used strychnine to poison his victims.

Thomas was born in May 1850 and dreamed of becoming a doctor. It was an era where people put their complete trust in doctors and medicine as there was no other way to inform oneself about anatomy and medical procedures. Also, doctors took an oath to save lives.

The Woman Who Loved Stew

We have seen and read stories of killers who use food to dispose of their bodies in many movies and popular culture. What if I told you one woman killed to eat in the Land Down Under?

Is Fiction That Far From Reality?

WARNING: Animal Abuse | Butchery | Meat | Cannibalism | Overdose | Police

A famous story is Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Like in the movie adaptation of the musical, Sweeney Todd, kills his victims while his helper bakes the human meat into pies.

In the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, something similar took place. The character of Arya Stark serves the King his own children cooked a meal for him to eat.
