Vampire (Early 1990s, Lochmaben Castle, Scotland)


Tom Robertson investigated the woods in Lochmaben (Dumfries and Galloway) after hearing stories of animals that had been found drained of their blood. He encountered a tall figure dressed in sacking with a hood over its head, which black eyes and grey face. The creature leapt into a tree and swung away. Eight years later Robertson went looking for the creature again, finding it and taking a couple of photos - one of which is pictured at the top.
This case blew me away when I first saw the pictures, but then I soon reconsidered and realised just how easy it would be to fake this story and the photographs. The so-called ‘vampire’ in the image seems to be a broad-shouldered guy who could have easily just posed for this photograph and then left. Of course, we should always give the benefit of the doubt to witnesses of bizarre occurences like this, but it is helpful to maintain an attitude of healthy skepticism.
