"The Vampire of Croglin Grange"

Sometimes I wish I could have seen something. A few days ago, a nearby associations of skeptics held a conference about the Vampire of Croglin Grange. An alleged real-life horror story that happened in Cumberland. I have heard of real life accounts of vampirism set in this country, so I may or may not have heard of that legend (can we say an urban legend?) before I have seen the announcement of the conference. I am gutted that I could not attend. I am of course skeptical of the whole story, but I love these bits of local legends about evil creatures, they make for great source material for scary stories. And if you cannot write one, you can imagine one reading the accounts and get a few pleasant chills. I hope to be able to blog about it in the next countdown to Halloween.
