A vampire scare in New England in the 1700s lasted more than a century and turned families and communities upside down. The dead bodies of those suspected of vampirism were exhumed and ancient curse-breaking rituals were performed on them. Watch as the latest technology is used to analyze historic evidence of the New England vampires and discover if there was any basis for the panic. Medical science is also used to examine those who believe themselves to be modern day vampires. Is there a common element between the suspected vampires of America's past and present?

Oh this ought to be interesting.

[wicthdragon]

I may have  to check it out.

[AyraGrace]

Thanks that will be something worth watching on T.V.

[Nata-Chan]

Hmmm I have noticed how they keep calling Vampires monsters. That's a little inhumane isn't it?

[AyraGrace]

If vampires are monsters then the ones who say that should look at the many human monsters aka evil people serial killers, murders ,any crime against children all round bad people they are the true monsters

[Nata-Chan]

Ah well said.... I do agree with you.

(Konstantinos & Katherine Ramsland sprinkled in here and there throughout)

Minute 31:  Joy Poulos (Dominae Drakonis) - Agrees to hematological testing in NYC

Minute 43:  Porphyria Discussion w/Doctor (Unrelated to Joy, etc.)

Minute 43:  White & Red Blood Cell Counts / Platelets / Other Results = Completely Normal.  Hematologist stated there is no evidence to support anything abnormal about Joy based on her blood tests.

Minute 44:  Psychic Vampires / Michelle Belanger w/Raxx (HK Member) - Basic Background On Michelle & Psychic Vampirism

Minute 45-46:  Dom Villella, a paranormal investigator, attempts to record an energy shift between Michelle & Raxx

Minute 52-54:  Actual Testing Trials

a.)  FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) Camera - Detects Temperature Variation / Changes

Result:  When pushing energy into Raxx; Michelle's hands went from orange to yellow (hotter).  Unusual, but not a "concrete" finding.

b.)  Multimeter / Voltage Meter - Detects Changes In Electrical Current

Result:  Baseline established for both; when holding hands = 80; 30-90 is average for two individuals

c.)  Electromagnetic Field Detector (Trifield Meter) - Detects Changes In Electromagnetic Fields

Result:  Baseline = "0"; Michelle caused spike to "2".  Don noted that "1" was the highest level he had previously seen.  Stated that there was a definite manipulation in the electromagnetic field when tested on Michelle.

I found it amusing that they used a blood test on the sang and an electo magnetism on the Psi as the sole basis for "normal" or not.

Would have liked to have seen tests similar to the ones done on Michelle B done on the sang, but ah well ... apparently blood tests are all that's required for a diagnosis of "normal" these days ...
Also would have liked to see some Kirlian footage, but guess thermal is close enough.

Thank you all for your answers. It's interesting to learn from these programs. Can I ask if someone  taped it? Or where can I  view or download it online?

Thanks again,
