Eusebius Pieydagnelle: Obsessed with the Smell of a Blood

In the year 1872, in Vinuville France, Eusebius Pieydagnelle surrendered voluntarily to the authorities and confessed that he is responsible for the death of at least 7 people and that the smell of blood excites him.  He told them that he has a bizarre obsession of blood that he can reach an orgasm by the mere smell of it.  All 7 of his victims were extremely mutilated.

Based on the finding s of the court, Eusebius Pieydagnelle comes from a very reputable family and was able to receive the best education.  Their home is located near a butcher shop that might have triggered his obsession with blood.  Eusebius told the panel “The smell of fresh blood, and appetizing meat, the bloody lumps-all this fascinated me and I began to envy the butcher’s assistant, because he could work at the block, with rolled up sleeves and bloody hands.”

His parents did not approve it but nonetheless he took the job as a butcher’s apprentice.  Eusebius Pieydagnelle could not contain the joy in his heart when he finally made it to the butcher house. The idea of butchering animals the whole day everyday excites him.  But his job was not permanent as his father forcibly took him away from the butchery and apprenticed him to a notary.  This apparently put him in a state of depression causing him to murder women.  His first victim is supposedly only 15 years old whom he repeatedly stabbed and mutilated.  He killed another 6 the last victim was the butcher that he used to work for before he finally surrendered to the authority.

Turkish Doctor Cured a Vampire

A Turkish doctor was claiming that he was able to cure a patient who has a fetish on drinking blood.  In a case which is known as “clinical vampirism” a person would experience an unquenchable thirst of blood and pleasure (mostly sexual) in seeing blood.  This incident is common on some of the world’s prolific serial killers.

Dr. Direnc Sakarya was able to create accounts of what happened during those two years of treatment.  And it states:

 “A 23-year-old married male (3rd of 6 siblings) presented with a 2-year history of ‘addiction’ to drinking blood. He used to cut his arms, chest, and abdomen with razor blades to collect the blood in a cup and to drink it. The initial interest in drinking his own blood had subsequently turned to that of others’. These ‘crises’ were characterized by a strong urge to drink blood immediately, ‘as urgent as breathing’. He enjoyed the smell and taste of blood despite finding this ‘foolish’. He also enjoyed biting wounds of others to taste flesh. He was arrested several times after attacking people by stabbing and biting them with the intention of collecting and drinking their blood. He forced his father to obtain blood from blood banks. His ‘thirst’ for blood started after the illness and death of his 4-month-old daughter 3 years earlier. He also associated this condition with the murder of his uncle 4 years earlier which he witnessed and still recalled lucidly. He remembered hugging the dead body and feeling blood smeared on his face. He witnessed another violent murder 3 years earlier when one of his friends cut off the victim’s head and penis.”

The case of the man went from bad to worse as he stab and bite in order to satiate his craving for blood.  The doctors also noted that the patient is showing some signs of schizophrenia and memory loss from time to time.  The rest of the research paper is like a screenplay for a horror movie:

“He stated, ‘there are two me’s in myself ’. He reported seeing a tall man with a black coat younger than him and a 6- to 7-year-old ‘imaginary companion’. The latter forced him to conduct violent acts and suicide, dictating: ‘jump on him’, ‘choke him’, ‘kill yourself’. Seemingly related to these internal dialogues, others observed him talking to himself occasionally. Possibly due to ‘switching’ to another personality state, he was losing track during the ‘bloody’ events, did not care who the victim was anymore, and remained amnesic to this part of his act. 

He had recently realized that this imaginary companion resembled his own childhood. He felt himself to be a ‘slave’ to him.”

His childhood days are full of torment.  His Mother would experience some “break-down” moments and attack him.  When he first arrived in the hospital in search for treatment, the doctors stated that the patient loses all hope and that he can only be cured by taking his life.  The doctors diagnosed him suffering from a lot of mental problems such as DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), clinical vampirism, post traumatic disorder, alcohol problems etc.  The doctors claimed that the mental issue of the patient was strengthen upon committing a series of crime.

The Wolf Child of Hesse

I know most of you are aware of the story of Tarzan who was raised by a group of apes.  But have you ever heard a story about a pack of wolves kidnapping an infant and raising it as their own?  Such is the story of the Feral Child of Hesse.  The account of the Wolf Child of Hesse was said to happen in the year 1304 (some says 1341,1344)

According to the documents maintained by the local monks, the wolf child of Hesse appears to be around seven years of age.  The boy was found in the deep forest of Hesse, Germany.  It was believed that the boy was taken by a pack of wolves when he was just 3 years old.  Whenever the wolf would hunt, he would give a part of his exploit to the kid.  The kid managed to survive the life in the forest with the help of the wolves. During the winter times the wolves would create a small pit and cover it with the leaves of the trees.  As time passes by, the boy adopted the way of living of the wolves, he was able to run using his hind feet and could make giant leaps.  The people who discovered him took him to the castle; it seems to be scared in the presence of human.  Not long before they discovered him, the wolf child died.

It is believed that the wolf child of Hesse was able to communicate with the wolves that he grew up with.

The record on the Chronicle of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Peter of Efurt says:

“Quidam puer in partibus Hassie est deprehensus. Hic, sicut postea cognitum est, et sicut ipse retulit, cum trium esset annorum, a lupis est captus et mirabiliter educatus. Nam, quamcumque predam lupi pro cibo rapuerant, semper meliorem partem sumentes at arbori circumcucientes ipsi ad vorandum tribuebant. Tempore vero hiemis et frigoris foveam facientes, folia arborum et alias herbas imponentes, puerum superponebant, et se circumponentes, sic eum a frigore defendebant; ipsum eciam manibus et pedibus repere cogebant et secum currere tamdiu, quod ex use eorum velocitatem imitabatur et saltus maximos faciebat. Hic deprehensus lignis circumligatis erectus ire ad humanam similitudinem cogebatur. Idem vero puer sepius dicebat se multo carius cum lupis, si in se esset, quam cum hominibus diligere conversari. Hic puer in curiam Heinrici principis Hassie pro spectaculo est allatus.”

The Armenian Vampire

In the book, “Transcaucasia: Sketches of the Nations and Races Between the Black Sea and the Caspian,” (1854) A travel guide of the Baron von Hauxthausen told him a story about an Armenian vampire. Peter Neu said that this particular type of vampire has a different way of killing its victims and usually dwell on the upper mountain.  The vampire was named Dakhanavar.  Based on the recollection of Hauxthausen:

 “There once dwelt in a cavern in this country a vampire, called Dakhanavar, who could not endure anyone to penetrate into these mountains or count their valleys. Everyone who attempted this had in the night his blood sucked by the monster, from the soles of his feet, until he died. The vampire was however at last outwitted by two cunning fellows: they began to count the valleys and when night came on they lay down to sleep, taking care to place themselves with the feet of the one under the head of the other. In the night the monster came, felt as usual and found a head: then he felt at the other end, and found a head there also. “Well,” he cried. “I have gone through the whole 366 Valleys of these mountains, and have sucked the blood of people without end, but never yet did I find any one with two heads and no feet!” SO saying, he ran away and was never more seen in that country; but ever after the people have known that the mountain has 366 Valleys.”

The name of the supposed vampire was said to be taken from the word dajan which means cruel.  Unlike the other vampires, where there were a lot of documented files that can be cited as a source, Armenian vampire has very limited resources.  They are often pictured out as incompetent compared to the other types of vampires where they can easily outwit their victims.  The “Dark World of Supernatural Beings That Haunt Us, Hunt Us and Hunger for Us” describe the vampire as:

“The Dakhanavar is ferociously territorial and will assault anyone who tries to make a map of its lands, or even count the hills and valleys in the region, correctly fearing that a thorough knowledge of the landscape would reveal all of its secret hiding places. Even today some travelers in Armenia, particularly those going into the region of Mount Ararat, generally take precautions against evil beings such as Dakhanvar. Often, they put small cloves of raw garlic in various pockets or mash it up and rub the paste on their shoes. At night, if camping out of doors, these travelers build a large fire and toss garlic bulbs into the flames. The combination of garlic aroma and a blazing fire will drive almost all of the world’s many species of vampires away.”

Ol Higue

Ol Higue can be found in the Caribbean legends.  They can be male or female.  The male vampire victimized the old people while the female vampire feed on the blood of the children.  They also take the identity of an old woman or man during the day.  It attacks during the night while someone is sleeping.  If one day you wake up with blue or dark marks on your skin, an Ol’ Higue is believed to have visited you.  In order to drive away these demons one must leave a sack of rice on their door ways before going to sleep.

At night the Ol Higue would shed her skin and placed it in a mortar.  It flies on the darkness of the night and search for an unfortunate victim.  To kill an Ol’ Higue one must search for her skin which she usually leaves at their home and in a mortar.  You would then have to mix salt with her skin, making it impossible for her to wear it again.  You just need to wait for the breaking of dawn which would burn her vulnerable skin.

Poem of Wordsworth Mc, Andrew mentioning Ol Higue

The Silver Torch

Ol’ woman wid de wrinkled skin,

Maxim Golovatskikh and Yury Mozhnov

In January of 2009, two Russian men- Maxim Golovatskikh and Yury Mozhnov confessed to the murder of Karina Barduchian, a 16 year old girl.  They claimed that they only resulted in cannibalizing the girl since they are too hungry and they were too drunk.

The trial against the two was apparently suspended after the juror fell ill while looking at the mutilated body of the victim.  The two allegedly drown the poor victims first before slicing her meat and preparing it with a potato.

Before the hearing was halted, Ekaterina Zinovyeva, one of the lodgers told the court that they were having a party on that night with some Goth friends.  She said:

“Maxim and Karina went to the bathroom together and I went to bed,…. I was sleepy but heard splashes of water and some noise there but was not worried. Sometime later I woke up and decided to check what was going on.  I went to the bathroom but Yury stopped me on the way and told me to go back to bed.  They had joked earlier that they could kill Karina but, of course, I couldn't believe for a second that they were serious."

The next day Ekaterina got home from her busy work the two offered her the meat with potatoes.  She ate it because she did not suspect anything ill about the meal.  The remains of Karina were allegedly hidden by the two in garbage skips.

The prosecutor added:

"They cut up the body of the victim into several pieces, eating some of them and throwing the others into the bin,… They cooked her meat and served up the meal with potatoes…..They were interrogated and explained the murder by saying they were desperate to eat." 

The deputy head of the criminal investigation said that both of them confessed to the murder right away.  They said that they were drunk and very hungry.  Prior to Karina’s death her mother told her to stop seeing Maxim but she did not listen.  The family said that they were very devastated on the death of their daughter.

Mohammed Bijeh

Mohammed Bijeh is held responsible for sexually assaulting and murdering 16 boys and 2 adults.  He is also known as the “Tehran desert vampire”.  His reign of terror started on March 2004 and ended on September of the same year.  He was sentenced by the court to 100 lashes and one death sentence for every crime that he confessed.  The hanging (traditional way of death sentence in Iran) was witnessed by an estimated crowd of 5,000 people.  One of the brothers of the victim stabbed him while he was being lashed and the mother of another victim was asked to place the rope around the murderer’s neck.

Mohammed Bijeh together with his accomplice named Ali Baghi lured children into their place by telling them that they were hunting animals.  They would then be drugged, poisoned or he would whack them in the head.  He will then sexually assault them while they are dead or in some cases while they are out of their consciousness.  The bodies of the children will be dumped in a shallow grave.

His accomplice however has been acquitted of being involved in the murder cases, but was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment and 100 lashes for participating in kidnapping the kid.  The crime caught the interest of the media and the public due to the magnitude of the crime.  Some people were even throwing stones at Bijeh during the execution.  Public believes that the actual number of murdered people can be higher compared to those crime that they confessed.

People were applauding as they watch the body of Bijeh dangled into air.  Some of them were also in tears but not because of sorrow but with overflowing joy.  Others were saying that the death of the murderer is not enough and should suffer more.

During the execution, Bijeh was entirely calm and peaceful as if he has already accepted his faith. 

Lyle Bensley, A self-proclaimed 500 year old vampire

Police arrested a young teen who claimed that he is a 500 year old vampire after breaking in a woman’s apartment and biting her.  Though he claimed that he is a 500 year old vampire, in reality the boy was 19-years of age and a resident of Galveston, TX.  Lyle Bensley broke inside a woman’s apartment and attempted to bite her while shouting that he’s a vampire. He hit the woman and tried to bite her in the neck.  Afterwards, he dragged the woman in the hallway.  The woman was able to break free from his grip, she went inside a car owned by her neighbor and managed to call for help.  When the police arrived on the scene, they found Lyle Bensley screaming on vacant parking lot of the building creating some weird sound.

Bensley told the authorities that he didn’t really want to feast on human; he claimed that he poses no threat to the human races.  Police who responded said that it is one of the most bizarre cases they dealt with.  They have seen people claimed that he’s Jesus or he’s some kind of a powerful individual but nothing like a case that concerns an undead.  Bensley pleaded the authority to arrest him since he does not want to hurt them.  He also said that since he’s a 500 year old vampire, there are times that he needs to feed and it is that fortunate time.

Bensley was arrested by the authority and charged him with burglary and intent to inflict a physical assault.  After breaking in a woman’s room wearing only his boxer shorts.  Doctors who examined Lyle Bensley affirmed that the boy was not in the influence of drugs or other medications.

Joshua Milton Blahyi

Joshua Milton Blahyi also known as General Butt Naked used to be the leader for the Liberian ruler Roosevelt Johnson during the first Civil war in Liberia.  He was a former tribal priest but later converted to Christianity.

Blahyi is a member of the Sarpo tribe he claims that he became a tribal priest and performed his first human sacrifice when he was just 11.  He also said that he had a vision of the Devil telling him that he would become a great warrior if he continues on sacrificing human and committing cannibalism.  The Devil said that the process would increase his power.

Blahyi is known for leading his troops naked wearing only his shoes and carrying his guns.  Before engaging into a battle, he was said to perform a human sacrifice that involves a kid.  He said:

  "Usually it was a small child, someone whose fresh blood would satisfy the devil... Sometimes I would enter under the water where children were playing. I would dive under the water, grab one, carry him under and break his neck. Sometimes I'd cause accidents. Sometimes I'd just slaughter them.”

Later in January of 2008, he confessed in participating in human sacrifices that involves murdering an innocent kid, cutting their hearts out and dividing it to several smaller pieces which will distributed among his troops.

He told a South African newspaper that he would often met Satan and have a talk with him.  He also told them about his rituals before participating in the battle. 

 "So, before leading my troops into battle, we would get drunk and drugged up, sacrifice a local teenager, drink the blood, then strip down to our shoes and go into battle wearing colorful wigs and carrying imaginary purses we'd looted from civilians. We'd slaughter anyone we saw, chop their heads off and use them as soccer balls. We were nude, fearless, drunk yet strategic. We killed hundreds of people--so many I lost count.”

He also said that during those periods, he possessed a special power that enabled him to conquer a town single handedly.  He then supposedly called his man to clean up the mess.  Blahyi and his men would often engage in the battle naked believing that it is a protection from the bullets.

La Candelaria: Argentina’s Haunted Luxurious Vacation

The central city of Argentina can be too crowded, it is for that reason why most locals and tourists alike will jump at the chance of staying at the local ranch also known as estancias.  There are myriads of options for everyone but the most famous estancias would be the La Candelaria.  When you are in Buenos Aires, head toward the location called Lobo and you will notice that t he landscape will immediately change.  After a few moments, the surroundings will eventually change which tells you that you are leaving the big city.  Soon there is nothing left but ‘campo’.  It may be too easy for you to miss the sign of ‘La Candelaria’ however when you do, you just have to go up the road where a group of gauchos will be willing to take you there.

The old castle located in the area is filled with numerous frightening stories.  There are guest who spend the night in this place that complained about the fact that the facility has a policy of preventing the guest from bringing their kids only to hear the sound of kids running down and up the stairs.  Some guest also claimed that they hear the giggling of kids playing at the hallway in the wee hours of the night.  Unfortunately, after thorough investigation, they found out that there were no kids present inside the facility.

The management of the castle was unable to trace the source of noise.  Some are saying that it is just the guest imagination, but there is a popular story telling about Rebecca, the adopted daughter of Don Orestes.  Based on the story, Rebecca decided to build an institution which mostly focuses on the poor children.  They said that the ghost of the kids decided not to leave the La Candelaria since they were able to find the best days of their lives in that place.

Even the tour guide will share his interesting stories with you.  The locals were more likely to believe the story compared to the tourists.  You will be spooked or amazed on the amount of legends circulating the La Candelaria of Argentina.

La Catedral, Colombia's Haunted Prison/Monastery

The name La Catedral was not given as a religious reference but as a testament to its grandeur.  Some people also referred to it as Hotel Escobar and Club Medellin.  The design of Escobar highlight a bedroom equipped with a rotating bed and a bathroom armed with Jacuzzi.   The doll is also filled with different amenities such as a soccer field, bar, doll house and discotheque.  It is complete with office facilities that allowed him to pursue his business.

During the time that Escobar was residing at the La Catedral, the entire family will travel from Envigado for at least 3 times per week in order to see him.  He will also received constant visitors such as prostitutes, professional players of soccer and his colleagues and friends.  He has been running the place, until such time that he ordered the torture and death of the 4 officers due to a money dispute.

When that happened, the government decided to take the matter in their own hands.  They decided to relocate Escobar in a tight military facility.  Unfortunately, Escobar made a stand and refused.  They were armed with high-powered firearms and they told the officials who visited them that they will only leave La Catedral once they are dead.  They became hostage of the drug traffickers.  Eventually, soldiers successfully penetrated the facility and rescued the hostage officials.

While the hostages are being rescued, Escobar and the rest of his men managed to escape into the mountains.  His escape remains as an embarrassment for the country of Colombia.  La Catedral was then stripped from its glory.  The materials used were used in building the homes surrounding the facility.  There are rumors that large bin of treasure is surrounding the area.  They even employed the help of psychics to help them in the treasure hunting.  Unfortunately, not a cent was found.

Due to the grim history of the compound, a lot of scary stories have sprung from La Catedral.  Some says that after Escobar’s death, he returned in this facility to once again rule the place.  There are also tormented voices heard during the night which were believed to be the victims who died in the hands of Escobar.  Some story says that Escobar is still tormenting those poor souls every night. 

Dorangel Vargas

Dorangel Vargas is known as the Hannibal Lecter of the Andes.  As we all know Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character who devours the flesh of his victim.  Dorangel who is a serial killer from Venezuela was a homeless man and commonly attack the passers-by at the park found in San Cristobal City.

When he was brought to the police custody, he confessed on eating and killing at least 10 individuals in just 2 years.  He told the police that he love the taste of men better than the women.  He also said that he stay away from killing fat people since they are known to have high cholesterol and it is bad for his health.

In one of his interview to the press, he said, “Anyone can eat human flesh, but you have to wash and garnish it well to avoid diseases….. I only eat the parts with muscles, particularly thighs and calves which are my favorite ….. I make a very tasty stew with the tongue and I use the eyes to make a nutritious and healthy soup."

The people hardly believe those numbers of fatality since the number of bones found in his sack does not match the numbers that he confessed.  The police also said that he preyed on homeless people and some laborers whom he bludgeoned to death using a metal tube.  But later, he said that he was given bodies by many people which include some of the police.  Due to this the people started to speculate that they were only using Vargas as a scapegoat for those people who sold the organs of the people.  The Congress, investigated the claims that he was a previous mental patient and was arrested four years ago under the same condition.

Ozgur Dengiz

Ozgur Dengiz, a Turkish serial murderer, who earned the nickname, “Cannibal of Ankara” was known for killing several men and attempting to kill another.  He was also believed to dine in on one of his victims.

During his younger years, Dengiz will have a frequent confrontation with his parents causing him to constantly run away from their home.  He also stopped in his study after he finished his middle school.

He first committed his crime when he was just 17 years old when he and his friend went on to a heated argument.  He was then ordered to spend 10 years inside the prison cell.  But he only served 3 years and after that he was given a parole and he was set free.

Due to his father’s persistence, Dengiz joined the army.  During his military service, he would constantly be hospitalized due to some psychological problems.  After he managed to complete his service, his mother opened a tailor shop for him but he didn’t seem to like it as he didn’t even bother to look at it.

On the 5th of June, 2007 Dengiz was angered by a computer engineer named Sedat Erzurumlu after telling him that he couldn’t afford a laptop.  Dengiz killed the computer engineer and took two laptops as well as his mobile phone.  Dengitz then sold the other laptop but he was cheated, he decided to keep the other laptop with him.

On the 9th of August, 2007, he shot Abbas Inan 8 times in the head and in stomach.  Miraculously, Inan was able to survive that assault.

On the 12th of September, 2007 he shot a garbage collector at a dumpsite.  A little later, he stumbled upon Cafer Er, 55 years of age and a municipal worker.  After having a short conversation with him, Dengiz shot him in the head twice.  He then dragged the poor man’s body into his car where he skinned him using a meat cleaver.  He then ate some of the flesh raw and put the rest inside the bag.

Fortunately someone was able to see that Cafer Er is having an argument with Dengiz.  The police were able to connect him with the crime and he was arrested.  The police conducted a search on his apartment where they found the stolen mobile phone and the chunks of flesh that is stored inside the refrigerator.

He later claimed that if the police had not caught him, he would definitely continue on his killing spree.

Katherine Mary Knight

Katherine Mary Knight is known as the first ever female Australian who was sentenced to life imprisonment with no parole, and for a good reason.   Knight is guilty of killing and eating her partner, John Charles Thomas Price.  Knight claims that he does not remember anything that happens about the incident, we could only speculate if this is true or not.  He is currently jailed at the Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre.

Katherine Knight was the younger of the twins.  Aside from her twin, Katherine is only close to her uncle.  She felt devastated upon knowing that her uncle committed a suicide during the 1969.  She claims that the ghost of his uncle continue to visit her.  Her father is an alcoholic and would often use violence and sexually assault her mother up to 10 times a day.  Her mother in return would often tell them stories about how she hated men.  Knight on the other hand confessed that she was sexually abused by some of the members of the families.  The family members also confirmed that there are indeed abuses that happened on her younger days.

Katherine always seems to have a problem with her partners.  On the night of her wedding with David Kellet, Knight attempted to strangle him.  Her second relationship with David Saunders ended up in a physical abuse.  She hit him with an iron and stabbed him in the stomach.   She then had a relationship with an older man whom she later left for John Charles Thomas Price.

Price was stabbed for about 37 times that managed to hit his vital parts.  Knight then allegedly skinned him.  She then hung the meat onto a meat hook which she later cooked.  There were evidence of cannibalism but Knight claimed that she has no memory of the said incident.

She was arrested and given a life sentence with no parole.  In June of 2006, Knight appealed her case of no parole but his appeal was dismissed by the court claiming that her crime is unprecedented in the history of Australia.

Caius Domitius Veiovis

Caius Domitius Veiovis is charged with 3 counts of homicide and spent 7 years inside the prison cell for an attack that is similar to a vampire.  His appearance is quite similar to a beast due to his horn and his implants, plus tattoos on his forehead “666” which is the mark of the beast.

In the year 2000, Veiovis is still going in his real name, Roy Gulfinski Jr.  He was barely 19 years old when he attacked a woman and cut open her back using a knife.  The victim required a total of 32 stitches to close the open wound.

He allegedly licked the blood that is flowing out of the wound while kissing his girlfriend.  He and his girlfriend was said to be involved in a vampire sub culture.  His girlfriend was only 16 when the assault happened.  The two reportedly take pleasure in drinking their own blood and the blood of other members.  During his arrest, he told the police that he is a Satanist and a vampire.

There was one incident when Gulfinski wrote a letter to “The Eagle” in order to correct his name.  Below is the transcript of that letter:

 To whom it may or may not concern, Due to current circumstances I have been cut off from access to the media. Though I do hear tell and I hear that it has been printed that I took my name from the movie "Twilight." Pop culture inspires me to vomit hot blood and I promise you I have never seen this silly movie, nor have I read the books, nor would I ever -- even now -- waste my time with such useless drivel. My first and middle chosen names were inspired and taken from the great Roman emperors Caligula and Nero, my last -- from an ancient Etruscan daemon. Anyone who knows me should have told you this -- I suggest you check your sources. Caius Domitius Veiovis Berkshire County Jail & House of Correction467 Cheshire RDPittsfield, MA. 01201 P.S. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families involved in this  tragic case. The deceased are not the only victims here.

Jessica Stasinowsky and Valerie Parashumti-Vampire Lovers

Jessica Stasinowsky, 21 years old and her lesbian lover Valerie Parashumti was sentenced for life imprisonment for the murder of Stacey Mitchell, 16 years of age.  Stacey Mitchell ran away from home but she apparently called her parents and told them that she wanted to come home after sharing a house with lesbian lovers for a few days.  But Stacey Mitchell never made it back home.

She was drugged by Jessica and Valerie and bludgeoned her to death using a brick.  They also attempted to strangle her to death using the chain of a dog.  The victim suffered a beating of 45 minutes before she finally died.  They then kissed her body as a form of celebration and dumped her corpse in a garbage bin.

The lesbian lovers were said to take pleasures on violence and on the sight of blood.  When the verdict was handed down by the judge, the two were smirking and showed no sign of remorse.

Stacey moved in with the couple on December of 2006.  She then told her parents a day after her death that she wanted to come back to their house.  But the couple claimed that they started to get annoyed with her since she is flirting with them.  They then devised a plan to kill her just to prove the other that she means nothing to them.

Jessica and Valerie invited her on a drinking session but apparently her drink was doused with sleeping pills.  The incident was filmed using a mobile phone wherein the couple would mock the English accent of the victim.  Valerie’s lawyer claimed that his client has a history of violence on her family and that she is involved in vampire subculture.  She also started drinking blood at the age of 10.

John Justin Bunting

An Australian serial murderer located at the Southern part of Australia.  As of the moment, he is serving his 11 counts of life imprisonment without parole for the murder of 11 individuals on the Snowtown murders.

Bunting was dubbed as “Australia’s worst serial killer.”  He’s motive for killing was due to his hatred on homosexuals and pedophiles. He was a leader of a secret culture which is mainly composed by murderers, cannibals and sadists who victimize people they knew.  They execute their plan according to the instruction given by Bunting.  His series of crime is said to be the most expensive and longest investigation ever conducted in the history of Southern Australia.

Two of his unfortunate victims were discovered at the backyard of his former house while the other 8 were discovered at a vault in an abandoned bank rented by Bunting.  In his house, there were illustrations of a chart wherein the names of the suspected pedophiles are written.  Bunting would constantly select a random name and call them threatening them and insinuating that they are pedophiles.

Bunting was pretty close to his step son named James Vlassakis, he would constantly relayed him stories about how much he hate pedophiles. In one occasion, Vlassakis confessed to Bunting that his step brother molested him when he was just 13 years old. 

During the trial, on September 8, 2003, Bunting was found guilty and was sentenced for 11 counts of life imprisonment.  He was said to be the most prolific Australian serial killer.

Dissertatio Historico-Philosophica de Masticatione Mortuorum

The Dissertatio Historico-Philosophica de Masticatione Mortuorum also known as de Masticatione Mortuorum was published in 1679 by Philip Rorh, a theologian located at the Holy Roman Empire.    This work is basically a 24-page collection of common beliefs on vampires and other undead.

During the 17th Century, people firmly believe that the dead can return back to life and torment the living.  They were normally blamed to be the cause of the unexplainable disease and plague.  But in the works of Rorh, he said that the vampires are not only thirty for the blood of the living, they can also commit cannibalism by eating the flesh of their victim.  He called this event as manduction (The Chewing Dead).  It is quite different to the vampires that we are aware today. But nevertheless, these accounts were known to be vital on the history of vampires.

The book tells us a different ways on how one can stop the dead from returning back to life.  Many of the methods listed on the work of Rorh were proven by the recent discoveries of archaeologists. For instance, a rock was place in the mouth of the dead to prevent him from chewing the shroud.  The manduction can also be stopped by decapitating their head and by staking them to their chest and pinning them to the earth.

Rorh however, greatly disagree with these tradition, he believes that doing these to the dead bodies is a way of disrespect.  Mutilating the body of a person that is already dead is inhumane and far from a moral of a human being.  He further believes that the fumes and other substance that is coming from a corpse can affect the living and inflict diseases.

Daniel and Manuela Ruda

A couple who met in a hard rock band concert were sentenced 13-15 years after stabbing a friend to death because apparently the devil told them to do so.  Daniel Ruda, 26 years of age and Manuela claimed that they started to learn about Satanism in England when they encountered members of the Cult.

After the crime they drove around the area while carrying a chainsaw and waited for the next order of Satan.  They said that they just wanted to be prepared in case there is something that he wanted them to do.  They were later arrested at a gas station.

The couple admitted to the crime, but claimed that they cannot be responsible to the said killing as they were only acting upon the devils order.  The devil’s order was to kill, sacrifice and to bring souls.  They told the court that they chose their friend because they think that he is too funny and would be a perfect jester for Satan.

Evidence was presented in the court which is a letter of Manuela to her dearest mother.  She allegedly told her that she is not of this world and that she must liberate her soul from the mortal flesh. 

Apparently after her mother received the letter, her mother seeks the help of the authorities.  She then guided them to the flat of the couple on July 9, 2001.  The authorities found black and white posters of hanged women, a vampire teeth, a coffin where Manuela sometimes sleep and a lot of blood splattered on the wall.  The body of Mr. Hackert was lying among the chaos of the flat.  A scalpel was still lodged on his stomach and a note that consist of 15 names which could be the name of the 15 targets to be sacrificed.  A sign of pentagram was also cut into the skin using a sharp object.  Hackert suffered at least 66 stabbed wounds and his arms as well as his face have been damaged by a machete.  After they killed the victim, the couple drank his blood and prayed to Satan.

Manuela ran away from home when she was just 16 years old and met a group of Satanist who developed her likings for blood.  The members would allegedly allow her to drink their blood especially during the “blood parties”.  But biting the person on the jugular is highly prohibited among the members.

Psychiatrist examined the couple and recommended that they should be confined in a solitary since there is a possibility that they could attack again if they were to be released.

On his teenager years, Sellers would often perform rituals inside his room.  He uses his own blood when creating letters intended for Satan.  He also started drinking pills and eventually found people who share the same interest as him, drinking blood.

On the 8^th of September, 1985, Sellers committed his first murder.  He borrowed a gun and went to a convenient store where he shot the clerk. He was only 16 years old back then.

Then on the 5^th of March, 1986 just before he turned 17, he wore his attire that he used for his ritual and shot his mother, Vonda Bellofatto and his stepfather, Lee Bellofatto while they were sleeping.  He was eventually arrested by the police.  During the trial he said that his dreams about blood influenced him in killing innocent people.

While he is inside the jail, Sellers converted to Christianity.  He claimed that he was possessed by the demon during the time that he committed the murders.

Sellers was executed on February 4, 1999 by lethal injection.  During that time he was the only person executed who committed a murder before reaching 17 years old.
