In 2001, a quiet Welsh town with a name that's a mouthful became the scene of a truly horrific crime fueled by a chilling delusion... Join us as we unravel the strange case of Matthew Hardman, the "Welsh Vampire," and his disturbing obsession with drinking blood.
Did he genuinely believe he was becoming a creature of the night, or was it a twisted fantasy spiraling tragically out of control?
We delve into the darker corners of the human psyche and explore the unsettling phenomenon that might explain such behavior, drawing parallels with other bizarre and disturbing cases of individuals fixated on the macabre, including Allan Menzies in Scotland, driven by a vampire film; Richard Chase, the "Vampire of Sacramento" in America, consumed by a delusion of needing blood for survival; Peter Kürten, the "Vampire of Düsseldorf" in Germany, who drank his victims' blood; and the horrifying cult led by Magdalena Solís in Mexico, where blood rituals and brutal sacrifices were commonplace.
