Springtime in 1968 Brooklyn, a TRUE Shavuot Vampire Encounter

The Croglin Grange Vampire: Folklore or Forgotten History?

Every so often I come across a story that reminds me why I started researching vampire history in the first place. The legend of the Croglin Grange vampire is one of those rare cases that has enough historical substance to make you pause, yet enough mystery to keep people debating it more than a hundred years later. What makes this story so compelling is it blurs the line between folklore and documented history, refusing to fit into either category. Modern researchers have actually located the property and confirmed a deed placing its name before 1720, though geographical inconsistencies still cloud the full picture. The tale even inspired Alvin Schwartz’s “The Window” from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, proving its grip on our imagination endures. Could a story this specific survive generations purely as invention? I hope you enjoy exploring this one as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Nora's Summer Job & The Vampire of the Upper East Side

Rarely does a vampire encounter story manage to be this quietly unsettling without ever saying the terrifying thing out loud. Nora, a struggling actress in 1980s New York City, takes a live-in caretaker’s job with a man named Casimir van der Broek in his Upper East Side brownstone, and what she finds there will stay with you long after you finish listening. The clues accumulate slowly. A fifteenth-century Latin book about vampires. A portrait authenticated to the seventeenth century, bearing a Dutch frame stamp from 1698. A man who never eats, never sleeps at night, and never steps into daylight. (Casimir’s formal courtesy somehow makes everything more disturbing, not less.) The evidence piles up, piece by piece, each detail adding to the same unthinkable conclusion. Have you ever taken a job or entered a building where the atmosphere felt completely frozen in another century, or where the owner kept hours that defied explanation?

My Boss Was a Vampire Rosalie's True Story from Boston's Chinatown

Boston, 1963. Nineteen-year-old Rosalie desperately needed money for college when she accepted a waitressing job at a restaurant tucked away in Chinatown. The owner, the elegant and enigmatic Mrs. Lam, seemed perfectly ordinary. That is until Rosalie noticed young men arriving through the alley entrance and disappearing into her private office. One night, Rosalie accidentally walked in on something she could never explain: a woman with blood-red lips and a glow to her eyes. Mrs. Lam warned Rosalie to never return again but before she did that she gave her money and a carved jade pendant. Decades later, an appraisal of the pendant revealed a detail so inconceivable that Rosalie was forced to reconsider everything she had witnessed in that restaurant. Listen and let me know what you think about Rosalie’s story.
