April 4, 2003 (The Sunday Herald) - A group of Chilean farmers are hunting vampires after their chickens died mysteriously. The farmers, from Donihue, claimed 200 were found with all the blood drained from their bodies. A police spokesman said: "The farmers are very scared. They organised a group and went out to hunt what they believe is a vampire.

A kind of stupefaction came over Henry Bannerworth, and he sat for about a quarter of an hour scarcely conscious of where he was, and almost incapable of anything in the shape of rational thought. It was his brother, George, who roused him by saying, as he laid his hand upon his shoulder, --

"Henry, are you asleep?"

There was nothing that happened , Noone involved,

nothing to miss.

A brief loss of consciousness, asleep at the wheel.

I'm quite well awake now, with time on my side.

Nothing to cling to, nothing to hide.

A very small trip it was,

Couldn't even break my stride.

It never existed, and still never was,

To live, to die, to rise again

Like a corpse with a Christ Compex: born again with immortal blood, setting loose upon the world a killer, a thief of life

Keeping the coffin builders busy

Am I beyond redemption? Beyond forgiveness?

Yes, I am, for I love what I do. Drinking from the Scarlet river, holding the power of life and death

I want more, always more.

An occational twinge of guilt, quickly lost in the heat of the kill.

Repress the urge to jump to the hightest point and shout with all my might

May 12, 1996 (Dudley Althaus / Houston Chronicle) - ZAPOTAL, Mexico -- The roosters had not yet crowed when the fierce barking of neighborhood dogs jolted Violeta Colorado from her sleep. The dogs had some animal cornered at the rubbish pile behind Colorado's small concrete house in Zapotal, a farm village in the steamy oil country of southeastern Mexico.
