Insights On West African Vampires.
(Excerpt of the SSIT Reports on the Different Breeds of Werewolf, Separate Species of Vampire and Human/ Animal Shape Shifters)
WEST AFRICAN VAMPIRE
~Physical Characteristics~
As mentioned in the Introduction, most Vampires appear human but change form when fighting or feeding. However, there are a few species which may only attain a human appearance by feeding on this mammal. The West African Vampire is an example of this.
They are biologically a ‘blank slate’, that is to say they have a rare mutation of the albino gene, which has no skin pigmentation, hair or eye colouring. They literally are a translucent white because their bodies are missing the basic hormones which regulate their colouring. They have the unnerving appearance of a native to the continent of Africa, but with white afro hair, white eyes with small black pupils and a white, sometimes translucent skin.
This species is always male and as such, their feeding is concentrated on human males. The West African Vampire’s choice of meal is not born from luxury; rather it is out of necessity. Not only do they drink the blood of the victim, but they take other fluids from the human body including from the pituitary gland. By ingesting the victim’s blood, hormones and other bodily fluids, the West African Vampire adopts the colouring of its victim and sometimes other physical characteristics. This species is the most like a Shape Shifter, as its appearance can alter depending on the appearance of its meal.
On this note, West African Vampires choose human males to feed on because if it fed on a female and imbibed a large amount of oestrogen; it would greatly effect its shift in shape. Although SSIT cannot confirm if this could actually cause the male West African Vampire to change into a female, scientifically we can project it would be worse than a transsexual undergoing medical treatment to change gender.
West African Vampires do not have fangs or sharp elongated teeth, and its strength is five times that of a human being. Instead, this species uses the flora or fauna in its native area, such as specific plants or venom that has a paralysing effect, to make poisoned darts and stun their victims. When their prey has been neutralized, the West African Vampire then carries the human male to their hide-out/home to slowly drain them. The feeding is a drawn out process as they use many of the victim’s bodily fluids to replenish its own. This is while the human is alive, paralysed and in subsequent agony throughout the entire time.
Their longevity is one of the shortest of the Vampire species, reaching 200 years old. Of course, this age can only be reached from successfully hunting to prolong its strength and regeneration. However, if a West African Vampire cannot feed at least once a month, then their metabolic system, strength and life expectancy fails.
WEST AFRICAN VAMPIRE
~Physical Characteristics~
As mentioned in the Introduction, most Vampires appear human but change form when fighting or feeding. However, there are a few species which may only attain a human appearance by feeding on this mammal. The West African Vampire is an example of this.
They are biologically a ‘blank slate’, that is to say they have a rare mutation of the albino gene, which has no skin pigmentation, hair or eye colouring. They literally are a translucent white because their bodies are missing the basic hormones which regulate their colouring. They have the unnerving appearance of a native to the continent of Africa, but with white afro hair, white eyes with small black pupils and a white, sometimes translucent skin.

'Vampires' strike Malawi villages
There are fears that crops are being left untended
By Raphael Tenthani
BBC correspondent in Blantyre
Rumours of people being attacked for their blood have swept southern areas of Malawi.
Terrified villagers have left their fields untended, too scared of becoming the next victims of the mysterious blood-suckers.
President Bakili Muluzi has joined other officials in trying to calm fears and has said the rumours are unfounded and a plot to undermine the government.
But residents have been taking the law into their own hands, killing one man thought to be a human vampire and badly injuring three others.
Some people - mainly women and children - have come forward to say they have been victims of the blood-thieves.
One woman showed journalists a mark on her arm where she said a needle was inserted to draw her blood.
The alleged attacks have taken place over the last three weeks in Blantyre as well as the districts of Thyolo, Mulanje and Chiradzulu.
Strangers are becoming victims of vigilantes as villagers are wary of anyone who is not known in their area.
One man was stoned to death after being suspected of working with the vampires.
In Thyolo, villagers attacked three Roman Catholic priests who were strangers to the area.
They were beaten and detained overnight before a woman recognised one of them as a priest.
'Malicious stories'
Police and government officials have visited the areas hit by the stories to try to calm fears.
Mr Muluzi, back from a private visit to Britain, has now joined that campaign.
No government can go about sucking blood of its own people - that's thuggery
President Bakili Muluzi
He said he had been told the rumours had been spread by "malicious and irresponsible" members of the opposition.
He had learnt the stories included claims that his government was colluding with international aid agencies to supply them with human blood in exchange for food aid.
"No government can go about sucking blood of its own people," said the president. "That's thuggery."
He said there would be severe punishment for the unnamed opposition politicians once they were caught.

The Strange Tale of Sankoh's capture
The strange tale of Sankoh's capture
Foday Sankoh is driven away by his angry captors
The most hated and feared man in Sierra Leone had wrapped a towel round his head as a disguise, but he was instantly recognised by a passer-by.
He said: 'I am Foday Sankoh - don't be scared'
Kaba Sesay
It was dawn, and Foday Sankoh was approaching the very house he had disappeared from nine days earlier.
"I was going to pray with my son when I saw him in front of me, on the path," said Kaba Sesay, a 53-year-old Muslim.
"I knew who he was, but he said: 'I am Foday Sankoh. Don't be scared. Will you help me? I need a taxi to take me to the Nigerian High Commission.'"
Shack refuge
Instead of calling a taxi, Mr Sesay went to get an armed ex-soldier known as Scorpion - a well-known figure in the neighbourhood.
He is an animal, so he should be naked like an animal
Scorpion
Scorpion then made the arrest that ended a nationwide search for the rebel leader.
"Today, I am a hero. Today the Scorpion catches the lion. The war is finished," he shouted, as crowds chanted "Scorpion, Scorpion".
Mr Sankoh's mysterious disappearance, after his guards opened fire on thousands of stone-throwing demonstrators outside his house on 8 May, spawned a host of rumours about his whereabouts.
But it is now reported that he spent the whole period in a shack 100 yards from his house.
Stripped naked
When he reappeared he was accompanied by one armed guard, who was injured as the arrest was made.
Some reports said Mr Sankoh was being held by the UN
According to one account, Scorpion shot the bodyguard, and the bullet passed through his body, hitting Mr Sankoh in the foot.
The shooting drew a crowd, who stripped the rebel leader naked.
"He is an animal, so he should be naked like an animal," Scorpion was quoted as saying.
The naked Mr Sankoh was taken from the scene of his arrest - outside his own ransacked house - to the compound of pro-government militia leader Johnny Paul Koroma.
From there he was moved to Sierra Leone Army headquarters, and flown on to a secret location by British forces.
Terror
According to some sources he was flown first to a British warship, HMS Argyle, to have his injured foot treated.
The house was ransacked
Even though many regard Mr Sankoh as the main stumbling block to peace in Sierra Leone and would like to see the back of him, there is a widespread view that he may still be part of the solution.
Many Sierra Leoneans' worst fear was that Mr Sankoh may have escaped back into the bush to lead a new cycle of the civil war that was meant to have come to an end with the peace agreement signed in July 1999.
They are terrified of Mr Sankoh's RUF fighters, who remain in the rural areas where they have brutally terrorised civilians.
There have been cases of rebels amputating the arms of children - some as young as a few weeks old.
What next?
Government Information Minister, Julius Spencer told the BBC the cabinet would meet to decide what to do with Mr Sankoh.
The gate to the house was destroyed
He said he hoped Mr Sankoh would give the rebels the "correct message" to halt the violence.
But persistent reports of splits within the rebel movement have raised doubts whether he has the authority to enforce another ceasefire.
US presidential envoy Jesse Jackson angered many Sierra Leoneans by suggesting that Mr Sankoh still had a positive role to play in the country.
Some have called for him to be tried at an international war crimes tribunal.
The UN may be able to negotiate with Mr Sankoh for the release of the hundreds of UN personnel who are still held hostage by the rebels.
However, the Liberian President, Charles Taylor, has warned that Mr Sankoh's arrest could complicate negotiations over the hostages, and more generally harm the prospects for peace in Sierra Leone.

The kempton park abandoned hospital
by admin on Jan.16, 2012, under ghosts, home, Kempton Park abandoned Hospital
The story that follows was submitted to us by one of our Ghosthunt SA members:
My fiance’s mom use to work there when it was still in commission… and some of the stories she told us were to be seen, felt and heard when we were walking through the passages and the different wards.
We arrived at about 11pm, firstly you have to bribe the security guards to get in though…(corruption never seizes…LOL) we did a quick walk through of the building with the security guard with us. At about 1am he left and we were alone… You feel uncomfortable while walking through the morgue and surrounding admin areas… but as soon as we got to the spiral staircase we felt a different feeling… like we were being watched. We gained some info from my fiancé’s mom bout which ward is where… 1st floor was Admin… 2nd floor was Paediatric Ward… 3rd floor was Theatre and ICU… 4th floor was Surgery and the 5th floor was Medical Offices and Maternity Ward. When we reached the spiral staircase both of our video cameras (Fully charged) showed low battery and we weren’t able to record, but we still had our digital camera.
Not much was seen from then, but that uncomfortable feeling still lingered around us and my Friend, Rudi said it felt as if he was being closely followed. We moved through all the floors and decided that we’ll head down to the car and relax a bit until witching hour… We sat right outside the morgue looking across the courtyard towards the far side of the Hospital, at 3:02 am my fiancé noticed a small blur on the adjacent building and though that it might have been a cat… to which all three of us concentrated on the position… every few seconds or so it would look like a small head peeking over the edge(And the was no one else there but us three), on the 3rd floor we noticed the few curtains began to rustle as if a strong wind ploughed through the ward… but it was a still night… we looked over to the curtains and saw a slight blur of something that seemed to be peering past the curtains.
We then decided to go back into the hospital… we reached the spiral staircase and moved towards the 3rd floor… where we thought we saw an apparition… we arrived at the second floor and I felt something different than before… now I’ve felt a spirit before so I know what to expect, and I don’t fear them that easily… my fiancé walked towards the staircase for the 3rd floor, we heard a loud footstep on floor above us and I felt this feeling of pure horror in me… she turned and told me that she’s never seen me that frightened in her life. at the same time Rudi asked me if I was hearing the deep heavy breathing, wondering if it was me, but it wasn’t… then I heard it. We decided to rather go back down, we have alternate beliefs to most people and know that something bad could maybe happen. On our way down it was as if you could hear muffled footsteps on the flight above and behind us… we hurried back as quickly as possible to my car outside the morgue, we reached the car but it wouldn’t start, Rudi and I got out to open the bonnet while my fiancé tried to start it again, this time it started and when we closed the bonnet Rudi and I both saw a shadow peering over the morgue’s large steel doors. We got in and drove off as quickly as we could… and that feeling of pure horror stayed with us the whole way down the road to the gate, as soon as we got onto the tar road the feeling disappeared…
It was such an overwhelming feeling that none of us could speak…
We took a lot of photos and viewed them afterwards… there are a lot of unexplainable orbs that could not be dust particles… and there are also a few photos that almost seem like there are faces in them… This is only a brief story on the main points… but there were a few more incidents as well on that same night.
Have you visited Kempton Park Abandoned Hospital? Tell us your story.

The kempton park abandoned hospital
by admin on Jan.16, 2012, under ghosts, home, Kempton Park abandoned Hospital
The story that follows was submitted to us by one of our Ghosthunt SA members:
My fiance’s mom use to work there when it was still in commission… and some of the stories she told us were to be seen, felt and heard when we were walking through the passages and the different wards.
We arrived at about 11pm, firstly you have to bribe the security guards to get in though…(corruption never seizes…LOL) we did a quick walk through of the building with the security guard with us. At about 1am he left and we were alone… You feel uncomfortable while walking through the morgue and surrounding admin areas… but as soon as we got to the spiral staircase we felt a different feeling… like we were being watched. We gained some info from my fiancé’s mom bout which ward is where… 1st floor was Admin… 2nd floor was Paediatric Ward… 3rd floor was Theatre and ICU… 4th floor was Surgery and the 5th floor was Medical Offices and Maternity Ward. When we reached the spiral staircase both of our video cameras (Fully charged) showed low battery and we weren’t able to record, but we still had our digital camera.
Not much was seen from then, but that uncomfortable feeling still lingered around us and my Friend, Rudi said it felt as if he was being closely followed. We moved through all the floors and decided that we’ll head down to the car and relax a bit until witching hour… We sat right outside the morgue looking across the courtyard towards the far side of the Hospital, at 3:02 am my fiancé noticed a small blur on the adjacent building and though that it might have been a cat… to which all three of us concentrated on the position… every few seconds or so it would look like a small head peeking over the edge(And the was no one else there but us three), on the 3rd floor we noticed the few curtains began to rustle as if a strong wind ploughed through the ward… but it was a still night… we looked over to the curtains and saw a slight blur of something that seemed to be peering past the curtains.
We then decided to go back into the hospital… we reached the spiral staircase and moved towards the 3rd floor… where we thought we saw an apparition… we arrived at the second floor and I felt something different than before… now I’ve felt a spirit before so I know what to expect, and I don’t fear them that easily… my fiancé walked towards the staircase for the 3rd floor, we heard a loud footstep on floor above us and I felt this feeling of pure horror in me… she turned and told me that she’s never seen me that frightened in her life. at the same time Rudi asked me if I was hearing the deep heavy breathing, wondering if it was me, but it wasn’t… then I heard it. We decided to rather go back down, we have alternate beliefs to most people and know that something bad could maybe happen. On our way down it was as if you could hear muffled footsteps on the flight above and behind us… we hurried back as quickly as possible to my car outside the morgue, we reached the car but it wouldn’t start, Rudi and I got out to open the bonnet while my fiancé tried to start it again, this time it started and when we closed the bonnet Rudi and I both saw a shadow peering over the morgue’s large steel doors. We got in and drove off as quickly as we could… and that feeling of pure horror stayed with us the whole way down the road to the gate, as soon as we got onto the tar road the feeling disappeared…
It was such an overwhelming feeling that none of us could speak…
We took a lot of photos and viewed them afterwards… there are a lot of unexplainable orbs that could not be dust particles… and there are also a few photos that almost seem like there are faces in them… This is only a brief story on the main points… but there were a few more incidents as well on that same night.

I have told you about some of my demon experiences. How about a story of my angel experiences?

Ghost In Residence by Dina

Haunted Hospital In Pretoria by Trix
I did my nursing training back in 1986 in one of the oldest provincial hospitals in Pretoria.

He Tried To Get My Daughter by Worriedorparanoid
Before I even start my story, I feel there are so many people which leave really sarcastic comments which I feel are very unnecessary as they don't really even know me or what's happening in my home - for each one of us that have a story to share, it is very real to us. Any way back to my story. ...

Howling 2 by Alfie

My step dad has two jobs; his second job is as a waiter at a local watering hole. He works the late shift and prefers ...
Lights by honeysangel
If you've read my previous story "Freaky TV" you would understand this story a bit better. So while all the television stuff was happening there was a few other happenings as well.

Looks Like Things Are Starting Again by Worriedorparanoid

My Doll Dada by anneke8
When I was 12 years old, my aunt visiting from America, gave me a doll. I thought why she'd give me a doll... I am a big girl now and don't play with them anymore...

My Experience With Negative Energy In My House by Trix
I'm not sure on how I'm going to write about my experience or if YGS will even publish it. I'm going to try my best, because the person that helped me through it told me that my experience and actions can help other people without this type of knowledge too. I feel he is right so I'm going to share ...
My Freaky Life by anneke8
My first encounter with the supernatural was when I was four years old (that I can remember). My grandfather just died.

My Freaky Life 4 by anneke8
I would like to tell you about experiences I have in old houses. Me and my mother are very sensitive when it comes to buildings, especialy old places.

My Ghostly Past by cella
When I was about six years old, I had a fear of something in the hallway of our house.

Now I don't know if this ...

Mysterious Lover by Impish
This experience happened about 5 years ago and can be hard to explain. I know it sounds like this was just a dream but too much says it isn't. It was a hot summer's night.

Nursing Residence Room Nr 2 by Trix
As far back as I can remembered, I have been sensitive to the paranormal. When I was a child, I did hear and feel stuff, but never saw anything.

Our Old House by dickycolin

GHOST HUNTING SAFARIS
African Ghost Hunting Safaris - Van Hunks
Ghosts, Haunted Places and Travel in Africa
www.vanhunks.com combines an interest in the weird and mysterious (the paranormal, buried treasure, ghosts, myths and legends, flying saucers, witchcraft, occult crimes, strange but true stories, etc.) with travel. Travel in Africa is the site's speciality, but flights, hotels and rental cars can be booked throughout the world. Sources of information include newspaper and magazine articles, and the work of authors such as Eric Rosenthal, Lawrence Green, I.D. Du Plessis, Penny Miller, T.V.Bulpin, Cynthia Hind and Margaret Williamson. We shall also record anecdotes that we have heard, and a couple of personal experiences that we have been unable to explain.
"The fairest cape in all the circumference of the Earth " is how the Cape Peninsula was described during Sir Francis Drake's voyage, and its scenery, flora and fauna still combine to make it South Africa's favourite destination. Nowhere else can you see wild penguins and baboons, and sometimes whales, dolphins and seals, in one short drive. A convenient way of seeing some of the haunted places of the Cape Peninsula, is to join the Mystery Ghost Bus Tour, created by South African illusionist Mark Rose-Christie. You can get more information at www.mysteryghostbus.co.za.
Then there is the Lowveld, in the northeastern corner of South Africa. Here is the Kruger National Park, larger than some countries. West of this superb game reserve are mountains, forests and waterfalls, the lands of the magical Venda people and of Modjadji the rain queen, the inspiration for H. Rider Haggard's "She Who Must Be Obeyed".
