In our series on real life vampires, we have taken you all across the world and different eras of human culture. In our fifth chapter, we plant the roots of our terrifying tales firmly in Europe, and focus on those who got a sexual thrill off of feeding on the blood and flesh of their fellow man. Some call them perverts, cannibals, ghouls or fiends. But we like to call them… bloodsucking freaks.
Case #1: The Vampire of Dusseldorf - Peter Kurten was a sexual sadist who got his thrills from the vital fluids of others. He would do anything he could to satiate his bloodlust as he stalked the streets of Dusseldorf, Germany. (P. Kurten, Germany)
Case #2: The Vampire of Nuremberg - Kuno Hoffman's condition of being deaf and mute didn't stop him from breaking into morgue's and graveyards to commit acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. He would attempt to conduct black magic rituals using the blood of the innocent. (K. Hoffman, Germany)
Case #3: The Gentleman Vampire - Neville Heath fancied himself an aristocrat, using a variety of aliases to garner favor and charm the ladies of England. Some of which would never be heard from again. (N. Heath, England)
