If you were ever under the impression that vampires are not real, think again. Or at least, keep reading and maybe this will change your mind. Here I’m going to tell you the story of Richard Chase aka. “The Vampire of Sacramento”. Probably the closest thing there was to a modern day vampire, Chase did seek out blood to drink, for the typical reasons that a vampire is thought to drink blood - he had convinced himself that he needed it to stay alive. However, unlike a traditional vampire, Chase did not sleep in a coffin, and would not begin to self-combust if he went out in the sun.
