THE STRANGE STORY OF THE HUMAN VAMPIRE FROM TURKEY

In a chilling case report, doctors in Turkey have described what they claim to be a real-life vampire with multiple personalities and an addiction to drinking blood.

The 23-year-old married man apparently started out slicing his own arms, chest and belly with razor blades, letting the blood drip into a cup so he could drink it. But when he experienced compulsions to drink blood "as urgent as breathing," he started turning to other sources, the doctors said.

The man, whose name and hometown were not revealed in the report, was arrested several times after stabbing and biting others to collect and drink their blood. He apparently even got his father to get him bags of the ghastly drink from blood banks, according to the report released Feb. 8 by the Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. The case study was published last fall.

The doctors said they found traumatic events in the man's life leading up to his two-year bloodsucking phase. His 4-month-old daughter became ill and died; he witnessed the murder of his uncle; and he saw another violent killing . . .," the researchers write in the journal article.

The man had been seen talking to himself, and he claimed to be tormented by an "imaginary companion" who forced him to carry out violent acts and attempt suicide. He also had memory gaps in his daily life and reported instances of being in a new place without any idea of how he got there.

"Possibly due to 'switching' to another personality state, he was losing track during the 'bloody' events, did not care who the victim was anymore, and remained amnesic to this part of his act," the report said.

The doctors, led by Direnc Sakarya, of Denizli Military Hospital in southwestern Turkey, ultimately diagnosed the man with dissociative identity disorder (DID), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic depression and alcohol abuse. To their knowledge, the man is the first patient with "vampirism" and DID

Disassociative identity disorder was made famous by the story of Shirley Mason, or Sybil, who was diagnosed as having 16 separate personalities as a result of physical and sexual abuse by her mother. The authors of the vampire case study note that DID is often linked to childhood abuse and neglect. The blood addict's mother apparently had "freak out" episodes during his adolescence in which she attacked him, but the man also claimed to have no memory of his childhood between the ages of 5 and 11.

In a follow-up six weeks after he was treated, the doctors said the man's blood-drinking behavior was in remission, but his dissociative symptoms persisted. He also apparently insisted that his "drugs were merely sleeping pills, they would not cure him."

It's not clear whether the man suffered any health consequences because of his gruesome habit, but the human body isn't well adapted for digesting blood. While small quantities may be harmless, anyone who consumes blood regularly runs a risk of haemochromatosis (iron overdose) or contracting blood-borne diseases if they're sourcing it from other people.

I've never heard of this before. It sounds like he is not going to get better for long and will neet to be in a secure hospital for his life-time. IMO mental illness is like the flu - people barely function for a time, then get very sick and need care. The worst thing Western countries ever did was close down their "Mental Homes" and let the patients become homeless.

Yep!

That's a case either for Horus-Ra as the Archontic Alien Parasite: A follow-up interview with Maarit and/or Must Read: The Matrix Deciphered by Dr Robert Duncan

That is exactly what happened in Newtown Connecticut.When the shooting
in Newtown happened. I started doing some research in the Newtown Bee
I went through the archive looking for strange stories and I found many that
concerned A nearby mental hospital. It was shut down in the 90s anyway
the residents were released to the streets many of them had no home.
Sorry Back to topic.

Hey Limor,

This is a very heavy subject.

Do you know Paulo Coelho, the writer?

Well, back in the 80s, he launched his first book, called "The Practical Manual of Vampirism". It was about an allegedly real story, where he met and talked with a real vampire; More like and interview than a fiction novel. Very weird book.

Then, a couple of months later, he ordered, nobody knows why, to remove every single copy of this book out of the book stores...I keep wondering why he did that.

Perhaps it took centuries to vampires to convince us that they are just a myth, and they didn´t like when Paulo published a book claiming they are indeed real, then they threatened him and he was forced to remove his books from the market.

It could have been only a marketing plot, though.

There are some scanned PDF copies around nowadays, but only in Portuguese. Here´s the link. You could copy/paste it to google translator to try to read it, if you are interested.

As a side note, there a rumors that Al Gore takes a suitcase filled with vials of blood, from several types, to his travels. Some people say he´s a vampire.

Bill Schnoebelen, in 2006, made a documentary called "Interview with an ex-vampire" where he mentions Al Gore as well. It´s a series of nine long videos and it´s on youtube, Here´s the first one:

Yes Jagman, this is a pattern. They close down hospitals, then a few years later the patients get into serious trouble and end up in jail, in rehab or homeless. I have had family I've seen it happen to and it really is something I feel deeply about. This Vampire will need inpatient care for his life.
