The Vampire Beast Of North Carolina
78The Vampire Beast Of NC
What is it and where did it come from. No one knows for sure. And why did it kill and drain animals of blood in 1953 and then disappear until 2003 when it made its return and went back to killing animals and draining them of blood in the Bladenboro area of North Carolina.
Bladenboro is located at the southeastern corner of the Piedmont of North Carolina and the small town is surrounded by Pine Woods and Swamps. Bladenboro was also the scene of the greatest Monster story ever in NC, In 1953 something was killing dogs in the area and the really strange thing was that when the dogs bodies were found they were drained of blood. Some residents claimed they saw a really strange beast with the body of a bear and the head of a cat. And they said it screamed just like a woman.
After the story appeared in the Bladenboro Newspaper around Christmas of 1953 hunters came from as far away as Arizona to try to get a shot at the beast. But even though the hunters brought whole packs of blood hounds trained to track anything nothing was ever found. And the people of the area slowly forgot about the Vampire Beast of Bladenboro.
But then in 2003 it was back. Goats and dogs started showing up again dead with very few marks on them. Again the really strange thing was the fact that even though the animals had been killed there was no blood around the dead animals or in the dead animals. And people in the area quickly came to the conclusion that the Vampire Beast of North Carolina had returned. And return it had. Only this time it was killing animals in a 120 mile radius of Bladenboro and this time no one has seen it.
But people are finding tracks that not even experienced wild life biologists can explain. They say it is the strangest most unusual tracks they have ever seen and they can't say what it is. They do say it appears to be killing just to kill even though in almost every case the animal's blood is gone.
And one thing it has done this time it did not do back in 1953 is it has killed dogs chained on chains in people's yards. It has even killed Pitt Bulls while their owners slept in the house a few yards away. People just can't figure out how it walks up to a Pitt Bull and drains it of blood with the dog putting up no fight. How could it be doing this.
It has the people of Bladenboro on edge and people are watching their children closely. Scout Troops have canceled camping trips in the area because they fear what the Vampire Beast might do if it had the chance.
The Vampire Beast Of North Carolina , What Is It And Where Did It Come From.
What ever the Vampire Beast is it can approach large Pitt Bull Dogs and kill and drain them of blood with out making a sound.
There must be more than one of the Vampire Beasts because it has made kills 100 miles apart on the same night.
It apparently killed a Pony just outside of Lincolnton NC so it is killing in a much bigger area than it did back in 1953. It started back killing in 2003 and it has not stoped yet. Why did it not kill from 1953 to 2003. Biologists have studied animals it has killed recently and they have no answers. It kills the animals apparently by smothering them and then it drains their blood. One strange thing is that other predators that usually eat dead animals won't touch one of the Vampire Beasts kills. Tracking Dogs brought to animals killed by the Vampire Beast have refused to approach the dead animals or attempt to track it. What are they so afraid of.
Police are often called by people in the Bladenboro area when people hear a woman screaming over and over but no woman is ever found. It is the Vampire Beast they are hearing doing the screaming is the only answer.

Tell us more Chester. When do you see it. Did it tear up a cage or building to get to the chickens?????????????
Dude. i have lived in Lincolnton, Nc for 25 years now and i have heard stories from friends parents of strange noises coming from the woods in the area and strange scratching sounds late at night but never had heard this story. My friends dad told me one night that he saw a animal by his house one night sitting and watching the house never came upto the house but stayed and watched. then all of a sudden he heard a woman scream and the aminal left. now i dont know about you but this guy is a retired police officer and a marine vet so i believe him when i hear it. and he told me this about 12 years ago so i know that something is in the woods in lincoln county so maybe people know more than they let off and just scared of sayng anything? maybe?
my uncle shot the beast while deer hunting 2 years ago off of cabin creek road Wilkes county NC . He saw it staking a doe.It was near dark and he was scared to get down out of his tree stand with it in the area , so he shot it with his .50 caliber muzzle-loader.The beast rolled over and screamed an incredible noise before getting back to its feet and running . He refused to look for it at night for fear of it still being alive ( and b/c a muzzle loader fire's a single shot and you can't have a quick reload with that gun). It began to rain and my father and his friend started tracking it(b/c the rain would quickly wash away the blood trail). My uncle sat in the truck while they searched.The blood trail was lost in the heavy rain. The next day my father and his friend couldn't find it.About 5 days later they returned again to look for vultures, but there was none to be found.My uncle never returned to the area to look for the beast and to this day he will not go to the property alone .He described it as very dark in color . He said it was no bear (we have many bears in that area of Wilkes county)b/c of the way it walked.He said it was more cat-like of a walk.It was larger than any kind of animal. like a small bear.But longer than other animals around here.He said it was no mountain lion b/c of the size.(although science says they don't live here they do,b/c there is also a mountain on the property and it wasn't that animal either)
I would be long gone from around there Iam from raleigh nc Iam not crazy about going in the woods at night start with let alone day time now days have no idea what you may run up on only way i go in woods if more than 6 of us and we have fire power to take some thing down like a bear or something thats going hurt us I say stay out them woods man or woman and kids keep pets inside put bars on windows
i got a picture of it in central nc.also got dead pets and livestock to go with it.ill post it here if i can figure out how.
I don't know if this is real or not, but it'll make an awesome addition to my vampire novel.
so i live in a small town in north Carolina called maiden and im only 14 but i love the woods and anyways one day i was outside like around 8:00 am and i love by the woods and one day i swear to god i seen something like almost a bear/wolf thing and after reading this it may have been it b/c i once found a dear outside my house once also no blood around it only marks and late at night i hear weird noises which are really creepy but thats scary b/c i live near Lincoln county in fact im only 20 min away from there and also i seen like weird paw prints in the mud on the trial i go walking on sometimes and they look similar to a wolf kinda but they are bigger. this scare the heck out of me know
I think this is very cool but I don't think this is real I mean doesn't it sound like new moon a wolf like bear????? New moon is just like that
I think this is cool but I don't belive in this
I think this might actually be true. I'm in NC visiting family and the backyard is woods. At night when I'm trying to sleep I swear I can hear screaming. One of my first mights here my stepfather heard his dog barking out in the woods, he went out there and something was attacking it but he didn't know what it was. He shot a few rounds from his gun and the beast ran off andby the time he got to the dog well it was too late help him.
Thanks for all the great comments about the Vampire Beast Of North Carolina. They are appreciated.
There could possibly be only one of these animals killing in a 120 mile radius in one night. If it is Vampirish, then it has lightning quick speed and agility. It could easily make that trek without even breaking a sweat. As for the very few marks you also have to take into consideration Vampire bats. They feed on animal blood. If you have a swarm of them then they could wreak a lot of havoc over a wide spread area. Look into your vampire history and you will see my facts are not only accurate, but relevant.
I think that this creature is some speceis that has been long forgotten, this animal might be the thing that has started the stories of vampires long ago, like a chupicabra or something. and this ctreature might be part panther, that must be the reason for the screaming, or a lady must have seen it and screamed each time.
my name is erin i am a 11 year old girl so enywaylast year when we were visintg my cousin in north carolina this is when i was 10 it was night we just go in to our rental cabin o there house i dont really remeber so i was video taping with my 4 year old sis when we heard a loud pitched scream our dog hide under the couch and the other 2 started whimmpering all the animlaes in our house started to hide my 16 yar old sis ran out with my dads hunting gun she looked round and saw someting in the barn we had 4 dead goats and 3 dead sheep and our gaurd dog milly wasnt comptly dead luckily i was able to shoot some film of the animal
I live in lincolnton 5 miles from the courthouse,when I was 13 me and my cousin was outside on his uncles porch and heard something at the edge of the woods about 200 feet away screaming like a woman,but you tell it wasn't any woman.we just stood there listening to it scream,it ran chills down my body and was very loud.The only thing we could come up with was that it was a black panther,it would not step out in the light so we could see it.It knew we were there and did not like us being there,it went on screaming from the edge of the woods for 15 minutes at the start of the trail we used to go camping in those very same woods,I don't think we ever camped there again.I have camped in the woods around here all my life and I know there are wild dogs here because I have run up on some myself,luckily they were also scared of me.My older cousin got treed by some wild dogs wnen I was a kid,I have been in the woods walking at night and heard something in the woods with me that sounded like it was running through the woods tearig all the trees down around to the right of me.I tried to tell myself it is a herd of deer atleast thats what I hoped it was,you couldn't see your hand in front of your face and I didn't have a gun or anything to protect myself.This road is long been said to be haunted and I do very much believe it,from a floating light from several people have said in the past to witness and a uncle said something woke him up carrying him out of his trailer and he grapped the door facing and finally put him down. I remember the night it happened was about 6 years old,I know he used to drink,but was scared to death and he was white as a ghost telling me,my mom,and sister it was trying to carry him to the graveyard below his house, it is only a couple hundred feet from where I live and the same distance from his house and he refused to go back home that night he was so scared.Another woman on the same road sqaid she woke up one night and something was on top of her and she couldn't move or scream out,the same woman said she saw a ghost in the graveyard a woman in a red dress and it was calling her name.Normally I would not believe this woman,but just so happens whenI was little I saw some teenagers digging in that graveyard and it was a woman in a red dress.the teens where drinking when they done this and I seen the corners of the casket years later in one of the guys house in a drawer.I was told he took the corners back and reburied them because the woman was haunting him.he just happen to be the brother of the woman who said she saw the ghost.How could she know about the woman in the red dress unless she saw it.Back to the floating light my cousin said his grandpa on the other side of his family saw the light out the window and got up and walked out of the house with everyone asking where he was going,he never answered.the next day he showed up and said he followed the light deep into the woods and it disappeared and he laid down his head against a stump and fell asleep.the story go's that if you see the light you will follow it like you're mesmerised,my mom said she saw the light and though someone was playing a joke with a flashlight and a string from the powerline because she saw anyone.They say my grandma saw a ghost at the end of the road on the way to pick up my grandpa from work,said she saw a man in the road and was scared to stop when she looked back he was still standing there and never felt a bump and didnt move.my mom said she had to ride with her from then on when she went out at night and later found out later a man died there years before when his tractor turned over killing him.there are a lot of strange things happen on this road and the woods around here,the graveyard is so old that some of the graves has nothing but a plain rock sticking up and some are unmarked because I remember alot more rocks sticking up when I was younger.No one has been buried in the graveyard since the 1940's or 50's,but we have a family graveyard behind that one,I have tried to find out more about the graveyard online,when it was started and who the unmarked ones were.only can find a brief mention of both graveyards,I say it was probably started in 1700's maybe the court house might have a more accrate record on it.this road can be pretty spooky at night
If you were wondering I heard the screams of the panther or what ever it was in 1986 or so and the graveyard is named Harrill graveyard and is on a dead end road.If you want the sh.;;,;t scared out of you go to Hestertown road and park at the end of the road and walk in,the graveyard is on the right you can't miss it.you can step off the road right into the graveyard.happy hunting....
I find it kind of hard to believe in vampires myself to be honest.. although I would love for them to be real and as amazing as they seem, this is not enough prof for me.. meeting one would help I'm sure. I've always dreamed of becoming on.. ever sence I was little. Now i know better than to hope for such a thing. Maybe its not all that it seems to be??
I would look at cycles. In 1950s animals attacked stop then begin present day. I would look for anything 1900s. If somehow you find something look at 1850s.
I live in northwest Guilford County. I live in a fairly populated neighborhood and would never have imagined seeing what I saw one night driving to the grocery store. I was driving down River Hills Drive when my head lights caught two red glowing eyes. I assumed it was a dog or large cat. As my car approached I could see that it was not a domestic animal. It was a very muscular animal, close to the ground with front legs that curled around, sort of bowed. It had the body size of a large dog but shorter to the ground. It was a grey color and at first I thought it must have been a wolf. But it was not a wolf. It was too short and muscular. The hair was fairly short and looked very coarse. I slowed to a halt which caused the "creature" to look at me. My headlights were beyond the point at which it would have caused a red eye reflex but the eyes continued to glow red. The creature was hovering over a dead animal in the road. It's front legs were very muscular and as it walked around the prey, it guarded it as if it were a lion guarding a kill. It stared at me as it walked around the dead animal in the road, never making any advance at my car. It had a long face with large teeth like a lion. It had whiskers like a cat but it was not a cat. If I were to guess the weight, I would say around 60 or 70 pounds. It seemed to have an evil presence. I am very intuitive to paranormal activity and consider myself very spiritual. I own a medical practice in the area and am not the type of person to make up a story like this. My belief is that I was looking at a creature in another dimension if that makes sense. I called my husband from my car and told him about what I was looking at. He pretty much discounted it until a couple of days later when there was a story about the "Vampire Beast of NC" in the Rhino Times. He brought home a copy of the newspaper and told me that it was such a coincidence that I had described an animal that seemed to be exactly like the picture on the cover of this edition. When he laid the paper on the table, my hair stood on end. I was looking at the animal that I saw a couple of nights before. There was no mistaking the evil glare of this creature. I actually felt excited that my observations were validated. I saw the Vampire Beast! If you live in the area and have also seen this creature, let me know. I would love to chat!
When is the last time anyone saw the beast? And where abouts can we find ot?
I,to be honest,dont belive in it
i have been seeing a strange cat like bear outside in my woods behind my house i live in the foothills piolt mountain finaly i have some one else that belives in it
i have my own page on ghost of america me and my friend have post ghost stories this is a new case that ive heard but never investagated it so i will have stories on there please cheack it out its ghost of america/westfield nc
Just watched the Monster Quest special on the HISTORY Channel earlier today and found it quiet interesting. What is unusual is the killing of Pit Bull(dogs) that were chained near homes, and the goats killed in a fenced in pen near the owners house....and yet no fight given by the dogs or noises heard from either the dogs, goats during the killings. The deaths had to be stealthy, and swift. Very few wild animals that hunt, kill without feeding on their victims. The way these animals died is very strange indeed. I have noticed that these killings are global, very similar, and run in cycles. Cattle mutilations, pet killings, and even a few human mutilations have been reported for hundreds of years! England has a similar beast known as the 'Beast of Exmoor' that killed sheep in a similar way and pattern. This beast killed hundreds of sheep and even the British Royal Marine snipers were sent in to kill it with no success. I still believe it to be a wild Cougar or large hybrid cat doing these killings, but what bothers me is the lack of noise and resistance by the victims (and the lack of eating of the carcasses). Strange indeed!
i heard whomen screams just now this is crazy my mom dosent belive anything like this but this is the only time i saw hear scared of this kinda stuff!!
i believe that such a creature should exist but,since it is not killing humans,it should not be hunted.i understand the pain of having you beloved puppy or dog drained of it's blood but why aren't people crying for the buck and antelope that are hunted everyday?humans are prone to favoritism.this animal(may it be real)is only doing what nature intends for it to do.it's the circle of life.the solution is not to kill the beast but to keep your dogs inside or somewhere safe.but ofcourse men will try to kill it because what's another species gone?
It sounds like el chupacabras ......
My mom told me when she used to live in Paraguay that there was an animal similar to this in the jungles.It was like a wolf yet not exactly, but was more muscular and had a very dark gray coat.For the international occurrences maybe its different races of the same species? And maybe the animal is a descendants of the saber tooth tiger just smaller and mixed because where these sightings are reported are the same areas that sabertooths used to be(north america,south america,europe, and africa.) And note that that had the build of a bear.

I have unfortuantely seen him twice crossing the power line on my property, i tell my wife its just a white cat i am after so she dosent get scared but last year i had five chickens it killed, draining all their blood and leaving them in a small pile in the woods near my house, very scary.
