Brent writes “On this episode of the Paranormal Portal Podcast, we welcome Paul from Indiana. Paul has the unique distinction of being the very first eyewitness to have encountered an actual Vampire. Not only once, but twice in his lifetime.
While many would dismiss such a claim as the folly of fantasy, but it is my firm belief that there is some truth to even the most bizarre legend. While Vampires have been romanticized and contorted by creative minds for our entertainment, there is a very ancient history in our cultures that warn us of the undead beings that prey on the living. These experiences are extraordinarily rare, but claims such as this persist…even in our modern age.”

Great story, and I have a cousin from how this gentleman explained himself up until the present.
He describes how he is scared of everything. My cousin at 46 years old is still the same. Every time he farts he gets so scared he calls the police because his farts scare him so bad. If he sees his own shadow still to this day at 46 years old he starts crying. Great story and thank you for the awesome content.

With the first one I was thinking Sasquatch, especially with it being southern Illinois, until he started describing how it moved, even the big hairy man isn’t that fast. Also it was clothed. Strange, I’ve often considered vampires and I’ve always been resolved that there was more to the legend than old Vlad because there are stories that predate both him and the dark ages. The term vampire came from that story I believe, but the creature predates all of that. And it has some connections to fairy lore as well. Could they exist, sure they could, just as Hollywood portrays it, they could fit right in in the goth scene and likely never get a second glance. As for protection…. Well in my research I’ve never run across anything but anecdotal references. The stake to the heart and the burning comes from the dark age beliefs, and who knows, maybe they knew something we didn’t. I would look for advice from people in the U.K., they tend to know quite allot about creatures of ancient times as well as demonology. More than just about any other culture I’ve ran across. Demon summoning is still a very real and almost a frequent practice there, just most don’t know that.
I would also look into demons in this case, that would explain all of it, why he is able to see and interact with different entities (many if not most, that have had interactions with demons develop this ability), the glowing eyes, etc.. just my thoughts. I know he was on a different show, but another can pass this information along if you like. I studied demons along with my end times studies, and this could very well be what he is encountering, and if it is, he needs to get a handle on it asap.
