Turkey captured a human vampire

FACT’S New York News Bureau Turkey has an authentic human vampire according to Professor Mazhur Osman Uzman, President of the Turkish Society of Medicine who has arrived in Boston.

The vampire is a 35-years-old man now held in Uzman’s asylum in Instanbul.

The professor said it is probably the only proved instance of vampirism in modern times.

Uzman told incredulous news paper men that the vampire was caught after he had molested five bodies newly buried in village cemeteries. All were young women. The last had been a friend of the vampire’s and had died early this year of typhoid.

Uzman said that the captive could not be cured of vampirism.
