TheWhispererInDarkness Posted October 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So I recently watched a documentary from a few years ago which featured a man by the name of Phillip Blackman. Mr. Blackman made some outrageous claims regarding intimate knowledge of "real" vampires, up to and including how it is not unusual for him to help them die, upon request. Since the documentary interview was relatively short, I thought I'd try and find a little more information on the self-titled "vampire doctor". What I've found is...nothing. Not a thing. The only traces I found of him were on a Christian site, which quoted the documentary I saw, and a link on a "real vampire" site to a video on YouTube which had been removed. Now, this guy seemed exactly the kind of person to have a website, so I must wonder: what gives? Has anybody heard of him? Here's the link to the documentary, it seemed like a fairly typical fly-by-night Sci-Fi channel affair, so for all I know the guy doesn't even exist.

+DieChecker Posted October 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm guessing he got eaten. If you lay down with the dogs you are going to get fleas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Chupacabra Posted October 18, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2010 As really cool as the story is and as much as I want it to be true I'd have to say he's probably fake. something to keep people interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I didn't find him very convincing. Still, I often find it entertaining to examine some of the more outlandish claims I encounter, and his were as far out as any I've heard.

xYlvax Posted October 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Obviously fake. He's taken Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles" way too seriously. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted November 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Vampires as in fictional work that goths enjoy do not exist, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethrofloyd Posted November 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The vampire myth originated with a real blood disorder. The vampre superstition thrived in the Middle Ages, especially as the plague decimated entire towns. The disease often left behind bleeding mouth lesions on its victims, which to the uneducated was a sure sign of vampirism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but the illness really wasnt all that close to what fiction writers described as pretty vamps so people back then would embellish the hell out of stuff. I guess im way too jaded ive spun far too many goth nights since the 80s, ooh check out the vampire club song by Voltaire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
