Soak Up The Sun

There is something about the State of California, with its sunny beaches, the coast, and its beautiful people, that can be misleading. There’s a darker side to this beautiful state.

Making California a little darker back in the 1970s were a trio of serial killers hunting California freeways for young men. One of these killers was Randy Kraft.

Medieval Europe

In the past decade, archeologists found many proofs of vampire burial. Skeletons exposed in specialized exhibition manifesting the belief of our ancestors, the belief of vampires.

In the sixteenth century, people were not understanding the human body yet as well as we do today. Many diseases were mysteries to villagers of numerous countries, and often, it was up to the Church to come up with an explanation.

Ghostly Origins Of Entities Remaining Behind

Death is something that either fascinates people or leaves them afraid. It is common to see the truth of a person on its death bed.

Ghosts & Spirits

It is also common to wonder if they’ll come back or go to heaven or the switch as merely turned off. Either way, ghosts are part of our history.

The idea of a spirit coming to back to haunt the living is not new to human history. Humankind believed in this theory since the beginning of ancient civilizations. It might be because we don’t know what goes beyond death or that our beliefs in it lack facts.

Elizabeth Báthory The Blood Countess

Here is the story of a woman who inspired the vampire folklore for centuries. She is one of the most horrifying people who ever lived, and one we can never forget. Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed.

Elizabeth The Countess

Let’s dig in Elizabeth Báthory the Blood Countess. Elizabeth Báthory, born on August 7th, 1560, was a noble Hungarian woman. She reigned over the Kingdom of Hungary that now is part of Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.

When young, the countess suffered from many seizures that led historians to understand those were probably from epilepsy and possibly transmitted from inbreeding from her direct parents.

The Odd Origin of Vampires In History

Vampires have been part of our folklore for hundreds of years. The belief in a being that subsists on blood has timelessly fascinated us. But where did vampires come from? Let’s explore the odd origins of vampires in history.

The First Origin Of The Bite

The odd origin of vampires in history—let’s dig in.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word vampyre, as we know it today, dates back to the eighteenth century. However, the name itself became part of the languages of France and Germany some time before its first appearance in English.

It is also interesting to note that the English language borrowed the term vampyre from France, and possibly from Serbia as well. Many countries across Western Europe had a term, a word, or at least a description that meant vampire.

Wade Davis The Man

However, I believe he was the first to take West African zombies seriously. Wade Davis might be the zombie anthropologist!

E. Wade Davis is a Canadian man born in British-Columbia on December 14th 1953. Mr. Davis studied at Harvard University and became an anthropologist and ethnobotanist. Wade Davis’ lifetime work included the study of psychoactive plants – which means he studied Botanics that changes human behavior, mood, consciousness, and perception.

Phantom of the Opera Review

I was young when I first read The Phantom of the Opera. I was attracted to it because of the theatrical essence of it and its Gothic origin.

The Original Summary

The story is known, the telling of the pages has been done and redone in many ways, and so now, I never thought I’d say this but here is The Phantom of the Opera book review.

First published in French as a serial in 1909, The Phantom of the Opera is a riveting story that revolves around the young, Swedish Christine Daaé. Her father, a famous musician, dies, and she is raised in the Paris Opera House with his dying promise of a protective angel of music to guide her.
