Vampires and Tentacles and Hags Oh My!

This Wednesday night at 9pm at midnight at 3am in a cemetery...
Nick goes off the rails and talks about decomposing bodies and real life vampire lore!

On tonight’s episode we look at fantastical tales of blood sucking vampires over the centuries, as well as dive into the various “species” that exist across cultures. We also hear of a different kind of vampire… the psychic vampire, that preys on its victims through draining their life force. Some of these vampires have no idea that they are doing this to those around them, but others are well aware of the damage caused by their attacks, all in an effort to achieve eternal “life”, if you can even call it that.
