New Orleans Vampires?

[gerhard1]

The legend says that the Carter brothers were vampires in the Big Easy.

The brothers John & Wayne Carter were supposedly hanged in the early 1930's in Louisiana. I have not been able to verify this, as therre seems to be no record of their executions.

The moral of the story, I suppose, is to check things out.

The first time I heard of the Carter Brothers was on the youtube channel BedTime Stories. BTS is usually pretty good in presenting opposing points of view, but in their segment on American vampires they seem to have missed the boat a bit.

Fortunately, this was easy to check out because of the existence of a database of executions in the US from colonial times to the present. I saw no mention of the brothers Carter in this database.

Do people really believe there are actual vampires in the world? It seems some do. Scary.

Even though I remain sceptical of their existence, I don't rule them out 100%. 99%, yes. but not 100%.

I believe in people who believe they are vampires, but not in actual vampires who can mope around in the dark for centuries because they drink other people's blood.

Yup, there are people who pretend to believe they are vampires. They know they're not though.
It's probably Anne Rice's fault.

Thank you. Much appreciated!

There is a really funny episode of South Park involving goths, vampires, and of course clueless adults. I think it was called "Burn Down Hot Topic" or something like that. I'd go fish out a link, but I'd no doubt fall in and be late for work.

The trouble is, some actually believe they are because they drink blood (from self-harmers). Saw them on a documentary once. It was a pathetic sight to watch a middle aged man suck from some poor, deluded young woman.
