### The Article

A Horrible Superstition

The Providence Herald of September 5 says :- "The village of Peacedale was thrown into excitement on Thursday last by Watson's Corner, on the shore of the Saugatuck River. The family of Mr. William Rose, who reside at Saunderstown, near South Ferry, are subject to consumption, several members of the family having died of the disease ; and one member of the family is now quite low with it. At the urgent request of the sick man, the father, assisted by Charles harrington, of North Kingston, repairs to the burying-ground, located one mile north of Peacedale, and, after building a fire, first dug up the grave of his son, who had been buried 12 years, for the purpose of taking out his heart and liver, which were t be placed in the fire and consumed, in order to carry out the old superstition that the consumptive dead draw nourishment from the living. But as the body was entirely reduced to ashes, except a few bones, it was shortly covered up, and the body of a daughter, who had been dead seven years, was taken out the grave beside her brother. This body was found to be nearly wasted away, except the vital parts, the liver and heart, which were in a perfect state od preservation. The coffin was nearly perfect, while the son's coffin was nearly demolished. After the heart and liver had been taken out, they were places in the fire and consumed, the ashes only being put back in the grave. The fire was then put out, and the two men departed to their respective homes. Only a few spectators were present to witness the horrible scene. It seems that this is not the first time that graves have been dug up where consumption was prevalent in the family, and the vital parts burned in order to save the living. A few years ago the same was done in the village of Mooresfield, and also in the town of North Kingston." -- British Medical Journal.

***This article is modern resource:*** Even if they are 100% open access, no modern paper will ever be posted in full out of respect for the authors and researchers. Summaries and abstracts will be made available here on the Shoebox of Unhealthy Obsession along with any available links.

Written fall 2013, this paper describes some cases of the deviant burials practices throughout ancient and more recent history in the hopes to prevent the creation or return of any believed "vampires".  These grave are interesting forms of deviant burials, as individuals are singled out in a heightened sense of necrophobia rather than carrying out such apotropaic practices on the whole community. The “vampire” has had different attributes lost and gained in different places and over time, but at its essence it has remained, for the most part, the unwelcome undead. However, the methods for preventing them are similar wherever and whenever, as can be seen in the physical remains and in the folktales that describe how to keep the dead in place.

## Summary / Abstract

The concept of vampires and mortuary practices that are practiced in the attempts to keep any perceived restless dead from returning from the grave are interesting forms of deviant burials, as individuals are singled out in a heightened sense of necrophobia rather than carrying out such apotropaic practices on the whole community. The “vampire” has had different attributes lost and gained in different places and over time, but at its essence it has remained, for the most part, the unwelcome undead. However, the methods for preventing them are similar wherever and whenever, as can be seen in the physical remains and in the folktales that describe how to keep the dead in place.

# Haverhill judge levies pints of blood

HAVERHILL - "They may start calling me Dracula or a vampire," District Court Judge Norman Brisson said yesterday, "but The judge said blood is always needed, but, let's face it - blood is necessary."

During the last three weeks, the Harvard-trained Brisson has asked 28 defendants brought before his court to donate blood to the Red Cross. Only one refused.

“The cases were strictly minor offenses,” said Brisson, appointed district judge last month. “Each case was continued without a finding, and the defendants were required to pay court costs of $25 or $50.

‘I told the defendants I’d remit court costs if they’d donate blood. Thus far, only one defendant has turned down my offer. If I recall correctly, his court costs were so high $25 wouldn’t have made much difference.”

The judge said blood is always needed, especially in summer, when donations reach a low point.

“The defendants have an opportunity to serve the community by donating blood and, at the same time, they protect their own families,” said Brisson, a North Andover resident. “Once they’ve given blood, family members are automatically able to get blood without charge if needed.”

He said the parents of one teenager, up on a charge involving alcohol, were so delighted with the sentence he gave their son that they went to the Red Cross and also gave blood.

According to Brisson, it is “too easy for somebody to reach into his pocket and out $25 or $50 to pay a fine.”

He said having some offenders give blood is “just the start of efforts toward a court-based public service program.”

He said he is hopes (sic) to obtain money to hire an administrative assistant to handle his proposed public service program.

“Our probation officers have enough to do now,” he said “In certain cases, my idea is to sentence a defendant to work at the public library or a hospital, or mow the lawn at a playground - things of that type. My administrative assistant would be able to follow through on such cases and make certain the defendant obeyed the court orders.”

1901 Kill the Vampire

## KILL THE VAMPIRE, THE CREATURE OF EVIL

L A. Russell, in Cleveland. Pross.

In all ages, from the beginning to this present, in the hearts of workers there has constant dwelt the image of the Vampire, sometimes clear, often vague, always there.

Blindly they were conscious. Dully they knew and know. “We made all. We make all, after God, We kept none, we have none. We had each of what he made only that he used to make more with for the Vampire.”

The Vampire has it all. It maketh nothing. It only takes from us while we sleep. By its wisdom? No! By our folly. Burne-Jones painted it. Kipling penned his reading of the picture.

What Is the Vampire? It is not a thing

Who Is the Vampire? It is not a person.

What is it, then? It is a creature of evil power, to sap our strength and kill us. It takes the land God gave to all, and lets it out to some to hire. It takes and keeps the hive, and makes it heavier as our labor makes the land| more fruitful.

We make It, of ourselves, for ourselves. We name It: Trust. We feed it till at last it eats us and we cease to be.

It is forever, for while we lived and fed it we also got our kind to feed it and be eaten after us, and getting more like us to make unto themselves Vampire to destroy their creators.

What should be the function of man? To kill the Vampire.

How kill it? Starve it to death, within in yourself first, then in your children then In your law.
How shall we know it? By this sign: It is injustice. Justice kills it. It thrives on privilege; give none. It fattens on an unjust tax. Tax only justly. It lives alone on what you feed It. Feed it not. It will die.

What is it to man to live? Only this: To fight the Vampire, to kill it, or to be killed by it.

“Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.” St. Paul to the Romans. vi.,16.

Cards/Lord of Annan Castle

An unnamed lord -- though some imply Robert de Brus, grandfather of Robert the Bruce -- was a merciless lord of "Evil Conduct" who married a woman of equal character. Word got to him she was cheating and he was so filled with a rageful jealousy he either had a stroke or a heart attack. Though dying he refused last rites and soon returned at night leaving his grave with a fearsome pack of hounds. Though he was said to be haunting the man who bedded his wife, any man would do and soon so many deaths piled up that 2 brothers took it on themselves to dig him up. They stabbed him, cut out the heart and burned the body. The vampire was never seen again.

Si quaestio est de modo, quo habet necessitatem ex corpore venient? et quod facile fit praesentia partium. Annihilationem non impedit corporis sed ut diu ut ponere in ea est, qui menstrui, donec venit autem fortior per quae tandem dissolverit. Secundum diversas complexiones eorum natura & compositionem, substitui potest per corporis est et crispus, cincinnatus. Reperitur inter naturalem proprietatem Principio nobis in commune ex partibus externis, quae in vita corporis unius fere contextu. Si dissimilium partium talium (heterogenearum partium) qui excedunt numerum Levitarum non dissimilis (homogenearum) non facile corrumpuntur, quia non ferat menstruis easdem partes (partes analogas) corpore.

If the question asks about the way in, whom she has a need that derives from body do they come? this is easily done, and the presence of the parts. To lay down in it, does not prevent the annihilation of the substance of the body, but as long as it is a solvent, by means of which, until at last he comes who is mightier than dissolves it. According to different combinations of their nature and composition may be replaced by a body and a curly curled. Moreover there is found among the property of the beginning for us in common from the parts of the externals of the natural, which is about a whole in the context of the life of the body. If it were all different parts of such (heterogeneous parts) that exceed the number is not unlike (homogeneous) will not easily go bad, because they may not support the monthly same parts (parts that are analogous) body.

Cards/Bailey Boswell

On trial for the 2017 murder of Sydney Loofe; she and a friend, sometimes called a business partner, Aubrey Trail, met several women on dating apps (press says it was Tinder) and promised to take care of them as sugar daddies, provided the women joined their "Coven of Witches." Press accounts are a bit scattered and confusing at this time; July 2nd, 2019, but one or both parties said they were vampires who helped unrealized witches unlock their powers. Most of the women treated it as a weird sex game but hung around, as the two really were paying all of their bills. At the height there were between 5-10 women in the "Coven" and things had gone very dark. BDSM was the normal, S&M was coming in, and the two were talking about how the women needed to kill someone to unlock their powers. Sydney Loofe was killed, dismembered, and scattered along some back roads. Police found most of her, though.
July 2nd 2019 - Trial ongoing.
Nov 8th 2021 - Life in Prison
Note: The state says the women did not kill Sydney, it was the men.
[Transcriber's note by Cinnamon: Bailey Boswell appears to be female and use she/her, but due to some kind of confusion or conflation was recorded here as male. I've been adapting language as best I can throughout, but I don't know if "the men" here refers to Boswell and Trail or Trail and someone else or what.]
Note: Some reports say Bailey tried to slit her own throat pre-trial but survived, and is watching from a hospital bed.

Short Poetry

Incubus - Poem as printed in Weird Tales vol.23, n.05, May 1934

**Incubus**

**By August W. Derleth**

She said,

A creeping, crawling thing had lain

Each night upon the counterpane….

They said,

It could not be, it only seemed

To be; she had but dreamed…

She said,

Sometimes at night she felt its breath,

Fetid like the breath of death….

They said,

Hallucination without question;

She must be treated by suggestion….

They wore her nerves down by suggestion,

For hallucination without question,

And were amazed one dawn to find her dead,

With marks upon the pillow and the bed

As if some creeping, crawling thing had lain

All night beside her on the counterpane.

### Logo The First

So through use of this vast interwebs, I found an artist willing to a logo for this bat-crap concept of an idea. Yes, it's a given that this is hard to describe. He WAS commissioned, at his stated rate. And I tipped him 3/4th of that,.... really... if you know nothing of this idea and someone tries to describe it to you in a 500 character limit... the hell can we really ask of Roman?

He did the best that he could given the limited character space and having literally, never heard of this project before his commission. Given how bizarre this all is, I think he did a wonderful job.

Would I like to see a less literal logo? Absolutely. The whole point of naming this the Shoebox of Unhealthy Obsession is to keep us humble. This whole idea is nuts. A comparative analysis of Folklore of Vampire Belief, with frequent sidebars into archeology and true crime?? I have hundreds of physical 5x7 Index cards. Seriously. It grows exponentially by the year. A comparative analysis, not only by the author but buy each each year that author has published?

Roman did what he could.

Yes, I would have liked more of the self deprecating humor that is in the name Shoebox of Unhealthy Obsession.... but give the man his due. And if anyone needs an logo designed for their project, he's on fiver, and honestly is under charging. https://www.fiverr.com/flatlogovision/create-retro-vintage-and-badge-logo-design

Cards/Iana Kasian

Cyrillic: Яна Касьян
b. January 27, 1986—d. May 26, 2016 (aged 30)
 Kasian was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, where she had studied law and worked at the Ukrainian tax service. In 2014, she emigrated to the United States and worked as a model in California. Her lifeless body was found next to her infant daughter, who was visibly unharmed, by officers of the LAPD on May 26, 2016, following a barricade stand-off, with Blake Leibel, the father of Kasian's daughter. Leibel has been charged with Kasian's murder, which occurred on the 8500 block of Holloway Drive in West Hollywood, in an apartment that the couple had recently shared. Reported by news media as "grisly" and possibly "the most gruesome murder in the history of West Hollywood, if not Los Angeles," the killing recalls the Black Dahlia murder in Los Angeles 70 years earlier.
Cards/Watermelon

Vampire pumpkins and watermelons are a folk legend from the Balkans, in southeastern Europe, described by ethnologist Tatomir Vukanović. The story is associated with the Romani people of the region, from whom most of traditional vampire folklore originated. The belief in vampire fruit is similar to the belief that any inanimate object left outside during the night of a full moon will become a vampire. One of the main indications that a pumpkin or melon is about to undergo a vampiric transformation (or has just completed one) is said to be the appearance of a drop of blood on its skin. The only known reference in scholarship is Tatomir Vukanović's account of his journeys in Serbia from 1933 to 1948.
He wrote several years later: "The belief in vampires of plant origin occurs among Gs. [Gypsies] who belong to the Mosl. [Muslim] faith in KM [Kosovo Metohija]. According to them there are only two plants which are regarded as likely to turn into vampires: pumpkins of every kind and water-melons. And the change takes place when they are 'fighting one another.' In Podrima and Prizrenski Podgor they consider this transformation occurs if these ground fruit have been kept for mote than ten days: then the gathered pumpkins stir all by themselves and make a sound like 'brrrl, brrrl, brrrl!' and begin to shake themselves. It is also believed that sometimes a trace of blood can be seen on the pumpkin, and the Gs. then say it has become a vampire. These pumpkins and melons go round the houses, stables, and rooms at night, all by themselves, and do harm to people. But it is thought that they cannot do great damage to folk, so people are not very afraid of this kind of vampire. Among the Mosl. Gs. in the village of Pirani (also in Podrima) it is believed that if pumpkins are kept after Christmas they turn into vampires, while the Lešani Gs.think that this phenomenon occurs if a pumpkin used as a syphon, when ripe and dry, stays unopened for three years. Vampires of ground fruit origin are believed to have the same shape and appearance as the original plant. The Gs. in KM. destroy pumpkins and melons which have become vampires ... by plunging them into a pot of boiling water, which is then poured away, the ground fruit being afterwards scrubbed by a broom and then thrown away and the broom burned." — Tatomir Vukanović, Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society

## A HUMOR OF THE CAMPAIGN.

In campaign times good things are set going for the fun there is in them, not always because they are true. The American mind is active, and likes to sport itself at the expense of the gentlemen who are running for office.

It is no joke and no secret that the nomination of Mr. Atkinson for Congress tilled the Democratic ranks with panic. It was not only undesired but unexpected by our friends, the enemy.

Here is where the fun begins. As soon as the news was flashed from Clarksburg an excited Democrat rushed off in search Mr. Pendleton, shouting:

Johnny, get your Vampire,

Vampire,

Vampire;

Johnny, get your Vampire,

Vampire,

Quick!

The humor of the thing lie.s mainly in this, that the friends of Mr. Pendleton think that one of his Vampires shall chase a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight. This overconfidence in the Vampire as a campaign weapon will prove the destruction of the Vampire Brigade in this Congressional ruction.

Cards/Oldenburg, Vampires of

An odd town that believes \*any\* body must be buried 10+ feet or the body may return as a vampire. Anyone and everyone would be able to "chew" its way out of the grave if not buried deep enough.

Cards/Werzelya

Werzelya is a tale of a vampire demon in the country of Ethiopia. In real life, Werzelya is said to be the brother of a saint (Saint Susenyos) but unlike her brother, who dedicated his life to the good of men, Werzelya pledged her allegiance to the evil. She took Satan as her lover and had sexual relations with him.
Werzelya eventually gave birth to a daughter. She killed her own daughter and drank her blood, believing it would grant her the magical ability to shapeshift into a bird or snake form. Then Saint Susenyos discovered all this: that his sister had had a relationship with Satan, murdered her own daughter, and fed on her blood; he confronted Werzelya, killing her in the process.
But Werzelya didn't stop from there; she returned as a vampire and started to kill kids in the region. Susenyos's son was not spared from the series of killings. Saint Susenyos rode his horse and went to kill his sister for the second time. He also defeated her horde of demonic creatures. After the battle, Saint Susenyos would then proceed in killing every sorceror he could find.

Cards/Xipe Totec

In Axtec mythology and religion, Xipe Totec /ˈʃiːpə ˈtoʊtɛk/ (Classical Nahuatl: Xīpē Totēuc [ˈʃiːpe ˈtoteːkʷ]) or Xipetotec ("Our Lord the Flayed One") is a life-death-rebirth deity, god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, disease, spring, goldsmiths, silversmiths, liberation, and the seasons. Xipe Totec was also known by various other names, including Tlatlauhca (Nahuatl pronunciation: /tɬaˈtɬawʔka/), Tlatlauhqui Tezcatlipoca (Nahuatl: /tɬaˈtɬawʔki teskatɬiˈpoːka/) ("Red Smoking Mirror"), and Youalahuan (Nahuatl: /jowaˈlawan/) ("the Night Drinker"). The Tlaxcaltecs and the Huexotzincas worshipped a version of the deity under the name of Camaxtli, and the god has been identified with Yopi, a Zapotec god represented on Classic Period urns. The female equivalent of Xipe Totec was the goddess Xilonen-Chicomecoatl. According to Bernardino de Sahagún, Xipe Totec has a strong relation to diseases such as smallpox, blisters, and eye sickness, and if someone suffered from these diseases offerings were made to him. Xipe Totec connected agricultural renewal with warfare. He flayed himself to give food to humanity, symbolic of the way maize seeds lose their outer layer before germination and of snakes shedding their skin. Without his skin, he was depicted as a golden god. Xipe Totec was believed by the Aztecs to be the god that invented war. His insignia included the pointed cap and rattle staff, which was the war attire for the Mexica emperor. He had a temple called Yopico within the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan. Xipe Totec is associated with pimples, inflammation, eye diseases, and possibly plague.
This deity is of unknown origin. Xipe Totec was widely worshipped in central Mexico at the time of the Spanish Conquest, and was known throughout most of Mesoamerica. Representations of the god have been found as far away as Mayapan in the Yucatán peninsula. The worship of Xipe Totec was common along the Gulf Coast during the Early Postclassic. The deity probably became an important Aztec god as a result of the Aztec conquest of the Gulf Coast in the middle of the fifteenth century.

# HUMAN VAMPIRE

Strangles Cattle With His Naked Hands.

HIS WONDERFUL STRENGTH

Attempts to Capture Him Prove Futile.

No One Knows Who the Madman Is

Thrilling Experience of a Dakota Cowboy.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 12. —

The cattle men on the ranges west of Pierre tell a ghastly story of a madman, who for some time past has been roaming over the reservation, killing cattle with his naked hands to suck their blood, and in some cases even attacking men. No one seems to know who the man is, nor how long he has been wandering about the ranges. He was first seen some four or live weeks ago. Repeated attempts have been made to capture him, but thus far without success.

He is said to labor under the hallucination that he is a vampire. How he manages without a weapon of any kind to kill the cattle on which he lives is a mystery. When found after he has left them the animals appear to have been seized by the heads, borne to the ground by main strength and torn to pieces by the teeth and nails of the lunatic.

Jack Lewis, a cowboy on one of the ranches about midway between Pierre and the Black Hills, is the hero of the most exciting adventure with the madman yet reported. It was nearly a fortnight ago. Lewis had been out for several days with a party on the range and about 6 o’clock in the evening he wandered away from his companions and dismounted for a few moments. As he stood by his horse he was suddenly struck from behind and hurled to the ground and nearly strangled by the maniac. He struggled furiously, but was unable to reach his weapon, while his assailant frothed at the mouth and made every effort to seize the cowboy by the throat with his teeth.

Such wonderful strength did he display that Lewis was nearly overpowered and doubtless would have been killed had not his friends, attracted by his cries, arrived in time to rescue him. The madman fled when he saw the reinforcements coming and although pursued by several men oil fast horses he contrived to elude them in the dusk and made his escape. Lewis was quite badly torn about the face and neck by the man’s teeth, and received a shock from which he has not yet fully recovered.

Youkou Shoujo

**Youkou Shojou** is a magical girl series created by Lina Kira. The characters and themes are based around Japanese mythology. The title can be translated roughly as "Monster Girls" or "Spirit Girls".

## Characters

* **Kagana Hinata** is the leader of the Youkou Shojou. She is a helplessly insecure girl who has joined up with her school's clique in order to fit in. She is not good at adapting to change or standing up for herself. She transforms into the legendary spirit **Kitsune**, who wields the power of fire.
* **Hayagawa Utenko** is a quirky girl who follows her own path in life. She is a skilled swimmer, and the only girl on the school's team. She doesn't seem to be bothered by what people say about her, and often just ignores bullying. She transforms into the legendary spirit **Kappa**, who wields the power of water.
* **Tsuyote Akane** is a brave, passionate girl who always stands up for others. She is a member of the school's karate club, and while she gauges herself as one of the best fighters, she is constantly overshadowed by the male members. She transforms into the legendary spirit **Oni**, who wields the power of strength.
* **Kaminari Kiki** is a girl who loves playing pranks and making trouble. She's very intelligent, but uses her powers for evil. Kiki isn't really close with any other girls in her grade due to being a great bullying target, but when she joins up with the team, she grows closer to them. She transforms into the legendary spirit **Rajin**, who wields the power of electricity.
* **Fuyumiya Yuki** is a fragile, sickly girl who loves fashion. She used to live in Hokkaido, but recently moved. Yuki is frequently targeted by Hinata's clique, and so tries to stay under the radar as much as possible. She transforms into the legendary spirit **Yuki-Onna**, who wields the power of ice.

### Allies

* **Wisp** is a ghost-like creature who gives the girls their powers.

### Illor's Army

* **Illor** is the eponymous leader of the Army. Not much is known about her.
* **Harichan** is a sadistic and narcissistic little girl.
* **Gakkin** are the monsters summoned by the members of the Army.

## Items

* **Soul Crystals** are the items the girls use to transform.

## Locations

* **Obake City**
* **Kumomori** is the dark realm that Illor's Army inhabits.
Dawn

**Dawn** /dɔːn/ is the protagonist of *Dawn at Midnight*, a magical girl fanseries created by Anne Vierklee.

Dawn is the 16-year old daughter of a General of the Aefnian Army and a producer of a music company, who currently lives with her aunt, who owns a bakery in Aefnia. Dawn usually acts very calm and passive towards the people around her. She is very serious and somewhat strict towards others and herself.

It later turns out that Dawn is the last Siren that was born within the far away magical country. Even though Dawn tries her best to keep a normal life, she keeps getting pushed into supernatural activities. She possesses the Divine Voice Stone, whose powers have yet to be awakened.
Haruna Kaori

**Haruna Kaori** (春泣かおり) is the main protagonist of *Kakukokoro*. An extremely timid girl who has no confidence whatsoever, Kaori is a very quiet and lonely girl who constantly dreams of being a different person - especially when she loses her best friend and partner, Akimorise Mahiru to the monsters known as the Lost. She, however, is intelligent yet cowardly - pretty much always running away from battles.

When transformed, her theme colour is pink and she wields a sword as her weapon.

## Appearance

Kaori is of average height, being 169cm in height and has tanned, nearly pale skin. Her hair is auburn coloured and is just below shoulder length with a small part of it being tied up into a ponytail using pink bow. Her eyes are teal coloured and have a soft shape to them. Kaori's casual wear consists of a t-shirt that has shoulder length sleeves and is coloured light pink. She also wears a denim coloured skirt. Her shoes consist of dark brown, strapped flats.

When transormed....

## Personality

An extremely timid girl who has no confidence whatsoever, Kaori is a very quiet and lonely girl who constantly dreams of being a different person - especially when she loses her best friend and partner, Akimorise Mahiru to the monsters known as the Lost. She, however, is intelligent yet cowardly - pretty much always running away from battles.

## Relationships

*Main Article: Haruna Kaori / Relationships*

## Etymology

**Haruna** (春泣) means "spring tears".

**Kaori** (かおり), despite being given in hiragana, means "scent".

Therefore her full name means "scent of the spring tears".
