Young Blood Transfusion Have Anemic Result
There are many conspiracy theories out there concerning various topics. But one in particular caught my attention. Did vampires have it right? Was Elizabeth Báthory on to something with her young virgin baths? Young plasma transfusion can keep you young?
What Is Young Plasma Transfusion?
One night, I was watching my usual reaction YouTuber, and a clip from a channel talking about conspiracy theories mentioned rejuvenation. The video stated that their father used his grandson’s plasma to help restore his memory capability, but as a side effect, he started de-aging.
Another clip made the same claims, saying the person had de-aged twenty-five years. Are we talking about the neurological network, the organs, the internal clock, or appearance? I don’t know. However, whatever the consequences of the transfusion were, those claims are that the overall process causes the patient to grow younger.

Algolagnia And The Sexual Sadism Paraphilic Disorder Is More Than Just A Fantasy
Paraphilias are often tossed aside with judgmental looks and have people cringe if they do not look disgusted. However, how much do you know about paraphilias and sexual sadism disorder?
The Overall View Of Sexual Sadism Disorder
Sexual sadism is one of many paraphilias in the darker and obscure spectrum of the field. It can create distress in the one living with the paraphilia or the partner. It often interferes with one’s daily life and routine. Sexual sadism can sadly lead to non-consensual harm or pain.
The disorder causes the person living with it to feel arousal through the media of intense involuntary pain. However, it isn’t them who are going through the suffering; it is someone else. It has to be through physical abuse, suffering or humiliation. In other words, they achieve orgasm through the suffering of others.

The Review Of Anna O, Written By Matthew Blake
There are so many books in the wild, and sometimes, we need a guide to give us advice about them. Fear not. Paula is on the case. Let us know what she thinks of Anna O by Matthew Blake!
Anna O, A Review
Cases of sleepwalking can take chilling turns, sometimes even leading to murder. The phenomenon of sleepwalking, known medically as somnambulism, has fascinated and puzzled both researchers and the general public for centuries.
While most cases involve harmless nocturnal activities like wandering around the house or talking in one’s sleep, there have been instances where sleepwalking culminated in tragic outcomes, such as homicide. These cases blur the lines between consciousness and unconsciousness, raising profound questions about the complexities of the human mind.

Therapeutic Phlebotomy Or Bloodletting Has A Medieval History
Many people are fascinated with medieval medical procedures and want to know how people survived them. So, let’s explore the history of bloodletting.
The Overall Humourism Meaning Of Bloodletting
Bloodletting, or by its otherwise name, therapeutic phlebotomy, consists of the withdrawal of blood from a human body or patient. Back then, people believed that it would cure and prevent diseases. The classical way to eject blood from the body was either accomplished by the physician of the time or leeches.
But what do I mean by humourism? Well, in Ancient Greece and Rome, philosophers and physicians adopted what they would call “humourism” as a system of medicine to describe the workings of the human body. Is your head spinning around like Regan in The Exorcist yet?

The History Of Impalement: A Method Of Torture From Ancient To Reformation Times
When we think about impalement, we don’t necessarily associate it with bodies, or do we? Because of Vlad the Impaler, we know that at least one person used it obsessively, but what if I told you it is much older than Vlad?
How Old Is The Practice Of Impalement?
The history of impalement is torturous. It is an excruciating and irreversible method of execution. The classical practice consists of the penetration of a human body through a bottom orifice by an inanimate object such as a stake, pole, spear, or hook. The completion of the torture follows with the perforation at the other end of the object through the torso.
Impalement was often the sentence for crimes against the ‘state’ throughout numerous civilizations. It was a capital punishment reserved for horrid crimes of the time or era. However, death through impalement, due to its horrifying scenery, was also employed to implement fear and suppress the desire for rebellion against a leader.

Do You Have Paraphilias, And Don’t Know It?
The word paraphilia has quite a history in itself. A lot of people associate it with dark and murderous sexual behaviours. However, paraphilias are much more complex than that. Let’s dive into the complexity of the word!
The Overall Generalization Of Paraphilias
People automatically associate paraphilias with sexual depravity, often leading to criminal acts. However, that isn’t the case, and more precisely, one is not exclusive to the other. We owe this misconception to centuries of shaming sexuality, religion, and close-minded doctors and pharmacists.
We are aware that medical procedures have to start somewhere and that it is understandable mistakes would occur. Like many other fields, medicine depends on learning and experimenting. However, some of the worst horror stories of learning come from psychiatry.

The Psychological Profile Behind A Narcopathic Individual
We know about narcissists, and we know about psychopaths. But what happens when both meet and merge together? We have one of the most terrifying psychological possibilities. It becomes a basic recipe for a supervillain!
What Is The Definition Of A Narcopathic Person?
To be a narcopathic person isn’t simple and doesn’t come quickly, either. In today’s age and era, it is simple to jump online and look at someone’s definition of a word and say, “Yes, I have that, too!” However, people should understand that psychology is a complex, lengthy, and severe field of study.
When going on a medical website to help ourselves find some answers to questions tormenting our minds, we must remember that they are broad terms. It is helpful to bring ideas to your doctor or therapist and ask about what you found and if they should consider examining you for it, even psychological findings. But don’t believe because you watch Dr. Phil that you are a certified psychiatrist!

Rest In Peace And Eternally Rest
Biters, I want to start this article on a rather serious note. March is now a rather big month in my home. A year ago, on March 8th, we lost my stepfather. He introduced me to the song I’m reviewing this month, so with that in mind, Rick, in memoriam, this article is for you.

The Mysterious Unsolved Case Of The Sodder Children
There are many unsolved mysteries when it comes to families and individuals that none of us will ever find the answers to. So, here is one of those incredible unsolved mystery of a family from West Virginia in 1945.
The Book of Cold Cases
I recently read a book by Simone St. James called The Book of Cold Cases. It talked about an unsolved murder of two men and a website that the main character ran all about those cold cases, also known as unsolved murders.
We can all think of some cases relevant to the JonBenét Ramsey case. There’s also the Madeline McCann abduction, and a bit closer to home in New Zealand is the case of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, who vanished on New Year’s Eve in 1998, never to be seen again.

GBM Interviews Author David Wilson
At Gothic Bite Magazine we love welcoming new patients to become part of our asylum. We question them and learn about them. It doesn’t matter what creative field they are part of because they’re our patient now. This week, we welcome David Wilson.
Patient Name: David Wilson
Thank you for this opportunity! My name is David Wilson, and I was born in Bangor, Maine, a city known for a much more famous horror genre author. I’ve lived in Maine my entire life.
As a kid, I was hooked on horror movies, especially the classics and anything specifically from George Romero, Sam Raimi, or Lucio Fulci. I also enjoyed the old stuff starring such greats as Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, and Boris Karloff. I was also an avid collector of comics, including the scary stuff.

Are The Masochism and Sadomasochism Paraphilia Disorders?
What is it about pain that arouses you the most, giving it or receiving it? Masochism is a word we often read but use in sarcastic situations. We also associate them with BDSM, but are we wrong?
But First: What is A Paraphilia
While the word ‘paraphilia’ is often linked to darker tones of sexuality, there is more to it than meets the eye. In reality, the etymology of the word ‘paraphilia’ comes from ancient Greek, meaning ‘para-beside’ and ‘philia-friendship or love.’ We’re far from the standard kinky sexual fantasies definition we associate with it!
Paraphilia is a term that goes back to the very beginning of 1900. It first described people with atypical social behaviour encompassing sexual interests. Keep in mind that those who judged a person’s normality were those who followed what society dictated as ‘normal.’ We’re talking plain sexual positions, nothing in terms of interactions, in a bedroom at night type of setting. Anything to put people in boxes.

Did You Know That Vlad The Impaler, Cried Tears Of Blood?
Many things are said about the Prince of Wallachia, known as Vlad the Impaler. He was the guy who impaled people. He is the vampire Count Dracula. But have you heard of him crying blood tears?
What Do We Know About Vlad The Impaler?
Vlad the Impaler lived in the 1400s or close to the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance era. Romania was separated into three principalities: Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia. He was the middle child of a family of three sons. His mother was a noblewoman, while his father was Vlad Dracul II, Prince of Wallachia.
Vlad Dracula was a Christian-Orthodox, as was Wallachia, placed between the Roman Catholic Empire and the Islamic Ottoman Empire. Due to political and religious conflict, Wallachia was a vassal state rather than a country in its own right. When Vlad Dracula took over the throne, he put Wallachia on the map and grew its legend.

Vlad Dragwlya by Timothy E. Rodrigue: A Review And Overall Thoughts
As an obsessive fan of Vlad Dracula, I find myself often buying books about his life, whether it is historical fiction or purely history. So, here’s my review of the book Vlad Dragwlya by Timothy E. Rodrigue.
Official Summary of Vlad Dragwlya
Here begins a very cruel frightening story about a wild bloodthirsty man Prince Dragwlya… The war-torn principality of Wallachia is a perilous fulcrum, one of the few geographical boundaries that hinders the Ottoman Empire’s march across Europe.
There are those who would gladly bow to the demands of the Turkish if it meant the procurement of their lands and wealth. There are others who would defy the sultans with every last breath. Prince Vlad III, Dragwlya, is of the latter ilk. Eastern Europe is decidedly Machiavellian, and Dragwlya is the epitome of the doctrine.

Before Vlad The Impaler There Was His Brother Mircea II
As a medievalist enthusiast and a Vlad the Impaler fan, I learn daily about his life. One brother of his with a horror story is Mircea II of Wallachia.
Why Is Mircea Important To Vlad’s Story
When I hurt my back last week, I was glued to the bed with limited motion. I couldn’t do much, so I decided it was time to read. I was an avid reader from when I learned to read to my twenties. I can’t recall why I stopped.
I discovered Vlad when I was a tween but only started learning about his life as a teenager. My love for the paranormal and folklore won over me, and I wanted to know who the man behind Dracula from Bram Stoker was.

There are many novels out there, but there is so little time. When I hurt my back and found myself glued to my bed, here is what I read, Vlad, The Last Confession, by C.C. Humphreys and here is my review.
Vlad, The Last Confession – The Official Summary
A superb gothic novel about the real Dracula, Vlad the Impaler – one of history’s greatest psychopaths or a hero of the West? Perhaps both…
‘A chilling masterpiece that weaves fact and fable. Bedtime reading? Only if you don’t need much sleep…’
BEST DRACULA. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality.

What Is The Most Haunted Place in New Zealand?
New Zealand is a country on Earth that is sometimes missing on our world maps and is home to the Hobbits. But they are wonderful people with much history to offer. Lucky us, we have our own kiwi, Paula, to talk to us about NZ’s most haunted place!
What Is It About New Zealand?
Growing up in New Zealand, a small country, many things started happening civilisation-wise in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We have a different history than other countries around the world.
In saying that, though, we have a few exciting spots around New Zealand worth visiting, including the former Seacliff Lunatic Asylum, considered the most haunted place in New Zealand.

The Strange And Magickal Origin Of Fays
When thinking about fairies, we often lean toward the little, tiny female entities with charming laughs and small dragonfly types of wings. But what is a fairy, really?
What does Fay Mean And Where Does It Come From?
The word fay saw the light of day in the early Dark Ages. Its spelling varies from fae, fay, fey, and fairy, which all mean the same. We can also see lesser-known variations such as faerie, fairie, fayrye, and feirie.
However, the spelling faerie, adopted in Middle English, later became the word fairy. The word means “enchanted” or anything related to charm. The word itself, borrowed from Old French faerie, came from the same meaning, “realm of the fays.”
