More reports of Vampires in Yorkshire than in
Transylvania
I came across this article from 2014.Being from
Yorkshire myself,Whitby area I was intrigued,
A new
study shows that there are more reports of paranormal activity in Yorkshire
than anywhere else in the UK.
The findings were compiled by paranormal
investigator Rev Lionel Fanthorpe, who says he has uncovered 11,000 reports of
unexplained phenomena in Britain since 1914.
There has only been a handful of reports of
any kind of paranormal activity in Transylvania over the same time period.
615 'paranormal activity' cases have been
reported in Yorkshire over the last 100 years.
In the whole of Britain, 11,204 reports were
filed, 206 of them referring to 'vampire encounters'.
The study was commissioned to mark the start
of new vampire TV series called The Strain. It looks at 50 years of paranormal
investigative records.

As
Bram Stoker set his novel Dracula in Whitby I am not really surprised.Looking
up towards the ruined Abbey at dusk and seeing the seagulls flying about it
looking like large bats,you can see how he got some of his ideas.Yorkshire is
steeped in folklore and legend and I am not surprised people believe in the
paranormal.
