When it comes to horror and fantasy, you’d be hard-pressed to find something more dangerous or terrifying than the vampire.  Skulking around at night, feeding off the blood of the living, shapeshifting into a wolf or bat, hypnotic powers… it’s creepy stuff.  Good thing it’s just fiction.  But when you discover criminals in our actual world who think they are vampires – that horror and danger becomes all too real. (Real Life Vampiric Villains) *** If you’re a fan of U.S. History, you might already know that camels once roamed the American Southwest – brought to Texas by the military because they’d be perfect for the desert climate.  But once it was all over a legend remained… a terrifying one.  (The Red Ghost of Arizona) *** Just because an official government report is released about a UFO sighting or incident doesn’t mean that Ufologists and researches are going to accept those findings – or the story the government tells.  Thus is the case with a UFO incident in 1952 outside of Tokyo at the Haneda Air Force Base. (The Heneda Incident)
