Did The "London Monster" Ever Really Exist?

During the late 1700s, something was stalking women on the streets of London—years before the “Ripper,” there was the “London Monster.”
The first reports of the monster occurred in 1788 when women reported that a tall, bulky man followed them, screaming at them and slashing at them with a knife. Some said that he slashed their hips and bottoms—others said that he kicked at them with daggers strapped to his knees. A few reports stated that he would invite them to come closer to smell his nosegay, a flower, and then would stab them in the face with a spike hidden within the scented flowers.
Many of the reports stated that the “London Monster” would make its exit just as help arrived.
The lucky victims would just get their clothes cut, while some of its victims received dangerous wounds, and over the “Monster’s” two year period of activity there were over 50 victims. As the press started to sensationalize the story and fear started to spread across the city of London, there were copycats and false reports. It is said that some of the known reports of attacks may have been fabrications or from women panicking about men they saw on the street.
Fear started to spread and outrage ran riot as the London Police failed in their attempts to capture the man. John Julius Angerstein, a wealthy Londoner, announced that he would give a reward of £100 to the man who captured the “London Monster.” This caused vigilantes to patrol the city in the hope of finding the dreaded beast.
In June 1790, an earlier victim named Anne Porter spotted the “Monster” in St. James Park. She told her beau, John Coleman, that the man they saw in the park was the one who attacked her.
Coleman followed him and confronted the man Anne Porter said was the monster and then challenged him to a duel to defend Anne’s honor. He discovered that the “monster” was Rhynwick Williams, who was an unemployed 23-year-old. 
Williams claimed to be innocent, but with fear in the air, his protests went ignored. When he admitted that he had indeed approached Porter, magistrates charged him with “defacing the clothing of another,” which in the legal code of the time, carried a much harsher penalty than assault. Spectators cheered, and one “apparent” victim admitted that she had not even been attacked and had made her story up.

The first judge granted Williams a retrial. In the second trial, Williams's defense was Irish poet Theophilus Swift, who tried to change tactics and accused Anne Porter of a scheme to collect the £100 award. Williams lost the case and was sentenced to six years in prison.
There has been much speculation since the imprisonment of Williams about the validity and reality of the threat. There are those who believe the monster didn’t even exist. As in the case of many sensationalized cases, the truth may never be known. It may never be known if the “London Monster” ever really existed…

An Exclusive Bite of The "Horror At The Lake" Series

The mirror. It was still there, on the wall next to the desk.
Susan didn't look into it. The memory haunted her. Thank goodness, she never dreamed
about it.
Come on. You can do it. It's just a mirror.
Susan inched her way to the mirror. If she were going to live here for a while, she'd have to
face it. She stood before it. Then turned away. How stupid to be afraid. She whirled around and
stared into it. Her breath came out in rasps. She saw only herself in the mirror. What a relief. She
laughed. But as she laughed, a chill ran down her spine.
The chill became more intense. She shivered. The room seemed to grow dark. A voice
screamed, Get out before it's too late. Leave this house. Get out.
The voice shrieked––a piercing scream.
Susan held her breath and listened for a moment. Then it happened again, a voice screeched
like a saw ripping through wood. In a panic, she fled from the study.
The screams followed her downstairs.
The front door ahead seemed beyond her reach. And the screams were right behind her.
She lunged at the door, her fingers closing around the knob.
The door wouldn't open. Her fingers felt numb, as if they didn't belong to her. She rattled the
knob, pressing her body into the heavy wood, but it didn't budge. In desperation, she kicked at
the door.
The shrieking grew louder. She stopped pushing, pulled the door open, and rushed outside.
The door slammed shut. The shrieking stopped.

Q & A with the Author Vanessa A. Ryan
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?

I started writing in the third grade. My teacher allotted a portion of her lessons to creative writing every week. In the sixth grade, we put on a school play, and I wrote the script.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?

I am currently working on another traditional mystery, the second in the Lana Davis series, titled A Date For Murder. The first, A Palette For Murder, will be released this May by Five Star Publishing.
Do you ever get tired of looking at words?

I don’t know that I get tired of looking at words, but I do need to take time off. I love walking in a park near my house, watching my favorite TV shows, traveling and socializing with friends.

Who designed the covers?

The publishers of my books have designers and they create covers from settings in the books that I describe to them.

Do you ever get burned out with writing?

Sure. Writing is work. It’s putting in the time. Since December, I have been taking a break. But the holidays are over, and tomorrow, I will begin looking at the edits of the last book in my trilogy, Horror At The Lake, A Vampire Tale. However, even when I’m not writing, I’m thinking of my next book or series of books.

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

I hope you enjoy my books and the journeys they take you on.

More on the The Mystery of the Monterrey Witch

A few weeks ago I featured a story about a possible witch sighting in Monterrey, Mexico. While researching my next blog article, I discovered a story that relates to those witch sightings—an independent story from the 1980s. What do you make of this? The story keeps getting creepier and creepier.
“I recently browsed a story the previous month of My Correct Tales called The Witch from the Mexican Hills, and I simply should tell this story since the similarities are insane. Even if this did not ensue to Pine Tree State, however among my aunts, I fully believe it.
It happened within town of Monterrey within the late Nineteen Eighties. My relations (the facet of my mom) is extraordinarily huge. My grandparents had six daughters and one son. The second oldest female offspring, we’ll call her Lisa, has on occasion had experiences with the paranormal. It’s love to follow her.
Prior to when she married, once she was around twenty one years old or so, she and her sisters had to share bedroom. She shared a bed with my second aunty, Val. Aunty Lisa told us that one evening that she and Val stayed awake one time talking, that was usual. She had her head turned toward the window that faced the road, while aunty Val had her back to it.
Aunt Lisa looked towards the window suddenly and saw a “thing” standing round the branches of a tree that was simply outside the window. She explained it had been gazing them. She represented it as a wife who was transient, pot bellied and wearing all black, however her article of clothing (or whatever it was) truly gave the look of black feathers. And her eyes had been scarlet. No pupils, no white, simply all red and shining.
At first she believed, It’s simply a bird, but it had the clear face of a lady. She in no way moved her eyes from it since she failed to want to be remarked as crazy  or liar and she thought that if she looked away, the issue would disappear. So, though she was dead-scared, she never broke her gaze from it.
She told aunty Val, Look out the window. What exactly is that? It’s red eyes. And aunty Val got afraid. She closed her eyes shut and shouted “No, I don’t wish to look at one thing!” Aunty Lisa started shaking her, begging her to look at it, however aunty Val’s eyes did not open. Sooner or later, aunty Lisa became so afraid and impatient that she ran towards the switch and flicked it on. Once the sunshine bulb exploded, my mother told Pine Tree State. She screamed primarily the foremost frightful, blood-curdling scream, waking everybody up.
When she started telling everyone regarding what she had ascertained hardly anyone believed her, though she was frantic and weeping uncontrollably. However there was nothing on the tree, there was no one outside, no one else had detected it. Sooner or later, all and sundry gave up and neglected it.
This is that the weird portion. By regarding 2005 and 2006, there was this story on the news regarding 2 cops who had seen some weird person they remarked as a witch. There is an opportunity to actually see the interview just in case you want to, Google Bruja nut Monterrey (which signifies Monterrey Witch), however the interview is in Spanish, thus I am going to translate what each of them stated: I saw a woman wearing black with feathers, and 2 black claws. The opposite cop said it had been flying.  I don’t know if I could send a link, but they made a spoken portrait and this is what they drew.”
Whatever the truth, there seems to be something happening in Monterrey. Two cops have seen something resembling a witch—and now this story. Who will see it next? You can see the original post here.

In this final journey of the trilogy, Susan Runcan returns to Lake Masley to sell the property she inherited twenty years before. She never wanted to see the place again, but she needs the sale to shore up her dwindling trust fund.
Unfortunately, circumstances force her to stay at the hotel in the village, prolonging what she hoped would be a quick end to her business at the lake. The once quaint hotel has been remodeled, but nothing can erase the tragic memories of that terrible night, twenty years ago, when she stayed there. And while finding a estate agent willing to help her list her property proves difficult enough, it seems that someone wants to prevent her from selling, because she soon finds herself mired in murder. Now she has to stop the killing before her money runs out and before anyone connects her to the victims. And worse, the savagery of the crimes leads her to suspect a vampire has committed them. But who would do this, and why?

Serbian Authorities Warn of the Return of Sava the Vampire

Have you ever heard of Sava Savanovic? Sava was the most famous vampire in Serbia, and possibly even the first Serbian vampire on record. Recently, newspapers and media outlets in Serbia have been announcing his return. The reason for his return? The mill he once stalked has fallen down…
Sava Savanovic was commonly believed to have resided in a shack on the river Rogacica in Zorozje village, which is found in the Bajina Basta province of Serbia.
Local legend states that he would attack and drink the blood of innocent travellers and peasants who came to mill their grain in the local watermill. By all accounts, the family who eventually bought the mill were scared of using it as a mill and, instead, turned it into a tourist attraction that was open only during the day. Tourists came by the millions, and the rundown mill became one of the most profitable businesses in the area.
Unlike other vampires, though, Sava Savanovic was not killed off by peasants or by the lord of the land. He just suddenly stopped his murderous ways.
Over the years, the family wouldn’t repair the mill—they were terrified of unleashing the vampire on the local municipality; but without maintenance, it finally collapsed.
Since the mill’s ruin, local government in Serbia has ordered all locals to put a cross in their home and to keep garlic on all entrances to their homes. Those who had cashed in on the enduring popularity of vampires are now regretting ever getting involved. It is common belief in Serbia that Sava has returned to rebuild what was once his.

The Vampire Terror of the French Revolution

Vampirism is often noted as being something that is contained to Eastern European countries. But have you ever heard about a French vampire named Viscount de Morieve? An evil man in life who, after his death, became a terrifying nightmare.
To be a French aristocrat during the revolution was a dangerous occupation, and as noblemen around him were killed in public executions, Viscount de Morieve kept his wealth, position and estates throughout one of the bloodiest and most violent portions of French history. A cruel man who hated those he deemed the “common” folk—he enjoyed executing those who worked for him,  one by one—his evils eventually caused him to be assassinated.
After his death, as those who had lived under his fearful reign of terror relaxed and returned to normal, children started dying. Over the next 70 years, many children of those who lived on his estates kept dying, and all the reports indicate that all the victims had puncture wounds from the jagged teeth of a vampire on their necks.
Toward the end of the 1870s, De Morieves’ descendants became interested in the persisting local rumors that his grandfather was, in fact, a vampire. He had the family vault opened and invited local dignitaries and religious leaders to investigate the contents of the tomb with him. All of the other corpses interred in the vault had become decomposed, as normal; but when the Viscount’s coffin was opened, he was found to be in the same condition as he had been the day he had been interred. With no sign of decomposition, his body was removed from his tomb and a stake was driven through his beating heart. As blood poured from the wound and the corpse cried out in pain, he was beheaded and his remains were burnt.
After the Viscount had been destroyed, there were no more unnatural child deaths on the estate. There are those who believe that De Morieves was born in Persia, married an Indian and then moved to France. It is also believed that his wife brought his vampirism from the East.

The Monks Who Defeated The Vampire of Melrose Abbey

Melrose could well be described as the perfect place to take your family on vacation. Nestled in the Scottish Borders there’s so much to do—sports, biking, hiking and fishing. However the ruins of Melrose Abbey also lie in this idyllic setting, and Melrose Abbey is the setting for a story that has terrified the locals for hundreds of years.
Founded in 1136, the Cistercian monks built Melrose into one of the richest monasteries in Scotland. It survived wars and, even when damaged by the British, was rebuilt—a magnificent building that was meant to last forever. Beyond its magnificence, however, lies something more sinister. The story of the “Hundeprest,” or you could say the Vampire of Melrose.
There once was a local chaplain who, by all accounts, liked all of life’s pleasures and was nicknamed, because of his love of hunting and his pack of dogs, “Dog Priest,” or Hundeprest. When this less-than-holy chaplain finally died, his soul could not find rest, and his evil spirit was seen wandering the streets of villages and towns in the area searching for victims. The local folk turned to monks of Melrose for help, and after praying, fasting and challenging the vampire, they fought it. Its mortal body was thrown into a fire and turned to ashes.
However, it is said that the creature tried to enter the abbey late at night in the form of a bat and then turning into a vampiristic creature. The monks managed to defeat him again through the power of prayer. Denied entry to the abbey, the creature stumbled upon the home of a lady who once worked for him. It is reported that he stayed close to her home screeching at her and causing unrest. She had no other choice but to call one of the most experienced monks from Melrose Abbey to investigate what was happening and to perform an exorcism.
The expert older monk bought along another monk and two novices to begin investigating the woman’s plight. They decided to watch the chaplain’s grave, and when day turned to night, the chaplain levitated out of his grave in vampire form, throwing the gravestone aside. A frightening sight, he began to approach the expert, wizened monk watching his grave. The monk retreated and lifted his staff and proceeded to smite the vampire over and over again until the grave opened with a terrible crash and the Hunderprest was swallowed into it.
The expert monk knew then that he was dealing with a great evil. He was fighting a true vampire, and he knew that he would have to open the grave as the first strains of sunlight entered the sky. They waited until morning, and the expert monk sent one of the novices to fetch tools to open the grave. 
When he returned, they starting digging and eventually opened the coffin—they found the Hunderprest, or Vampire Chaplain lying dead, grinning, with blood covering his cold lips. The expert monk ordered his body removed and to be burnt and his ashes scattered to the winds.


Today there are still those who say they can hear the screams of the chaplain who had, through the misdeeds of his life, become the very epitome of ungodly evil.

The Mystery of the Monterrey Witch

Mexican newspapers printed the story of Geraldo Garza Carvajal, a Mexican policeman, serving with the Monterrey police department. Garza claimed to have seen something so unbelievable it has never been explained. That fateful night, Garza saw the Monterrey witches.
As a senior officer in the department, his story was not one to be taken lightly. His strange story began near the Panteon Municipal Cemetery. As he stood inside the guardhouse, he heard the sound of pebbles being thrown against the door. He went outside to see what had caused the noise. Outside, he stood face to face with two women who had the faces of old women, with black hats, red eyes, feathered wings and huge claws. As the witches laughed, Garza ran back into the guardhouse to call for backup. Within a short time, the area was surrounded, and the witches took flight.
Garza was taken to a hospital in deep shock and recovered. He claims that the officers who came to his assistance saw the same thing he did—two witches. As a senior officer, he only told the press because a colleague agreed to substantiate his claim; and even though he has never experienced any mental problems or hallucinations, and has undertaken many tests, his story is still questioned.
Even though the police spokesmen tried to tone down the case and avoid press attention, there had been other incidents. A younger officer called Leonardo Samaniego saw a similar witch in 2004. The 21-year-old reported that a creature “resembling” a witch had appeared suddenly as he patrolled the area and had chased his police car as he tried to escape by reversing out of the neighborhood.
He said that that he requested support from other units in the area, and at the same time the witch descended—coming down very slowly—and turned around. He said she was completely black—even her eyesockets, which according to Samaniego didn’t even have eyelids. The terrifying apparition landed on the windshield of his car and stared at him. He claims that he passed out.
And now there is video evidence of the so-called witch. Watch the video for yourself and make up your own mind. Did these two officers of the law come up against pure evil?

Vlad The Impaler: Father of Stakes

When you think of Vampires you may think of the stakes you’ve seen so many times thrust through the heart of the vampire to vanquish it’s evil present. In older adaptations and stories the Vampire needs to be asleep at the time. However this has become less important with modern adaptations and vampires can be staked whether awake or asleep.
In different cultures and areas around the world different types of wood are used and some are considered to be more effective than others. Hawthorn was required in Serbia—whereas Oak was required in Silesia. Some of the more commonly used woods are wood from the rowan tree as well as mountain ash. In England it was common to drive an ash stake through the heart of those who commited suicide. This was to prevent them from becoming vampires. People who were believed to have died violently or were considered evil in life were also thought to become vampires and at times whole trees were plunged through graves to stop these people from returning as vampires.
Then of course there was the habit of planting wooden stakes on the ground above the grave so any vampire rising would impale itself on the stake. Many modern psychologists believe that by performing the rituals to destroy the “vampire” destroyed the psychological attachment to those who survived thus allowing the family and friends of the deceased to cope with their loss and carry on with their lives.
Staking a Vampire may have become popular because the man who inspired Dracula was called Vlad Dracul The Impaler who impaled those who crossed him on large stakes that were driven into the body vertically. This meant they bled to death slowly and this could be the reason why wooden stakes became common lore.

Do You Still Want To Use The London Subway?

When it comes to ghosts and ghostly goings-on many people are still unaware that the London Underground is reputedly one of the most haunted places in the world. This really comes as no surprise—the London underground happens to be the world’s oldest underground railway—it’s been in operation since 1863.
The gruesome goings on though started before the construction of the underground had even finished. Architects and engineers alike were hard-pressed to build the tunnels without knowing the exact placement of the huge burial pits dug out for the huge numbers of victims of the Black Death in 1664. Inevitably construction workers found themselves burrowing into these pits and disturbing the remains of victims of the Black Death hundreds of years after they have been buried unceremoniously in pits deep beneath the city of London. In some cases the walls of the tube stations are built against these burial pits and unsuspecting travellers are closer to the dead than they would ever believe. Aldgate Station is actually built upon a plague pit, so is Liverpool Street Station and South Kensington is built around a pit that was so filled with human remains there was no way to go through it, even with machinery.
However the tube is also home to some very creepy ghostly experiences. It must be remembered that the series of underground tunnels has been through wars, accidents and suicides for many, many years now…
Let’s start with… Aldgate Station
An electrician working on the electrics of the station electrocuted himself to the tune of 20,000 volts and survived. His co-workers said that they saw an older lady who was almost transparent “stroking his hair.” There have been reports of footsteps which end abruptly which echo through the cavernous tunnels of the station and tracks.
Mysterious Women at King’s Cross St. Pancras…
First opened in 1852 this station had been the centre of many strange occurances through the years. A brown haired woman was seen kneeling in one of the corners of the stations corridors with her arms spread. A traveller tried to offer her help but when the ghost figure saw him she disappeared into thin air.
The Lady in the Red Scarf at Ickenham Station
During the 50’s a lady fell onto the tracks was electrocuted and died. Later a ghost was reported wearing a distinguished red scarf. The ghost was also reported to have been seen at the exact point where the lady died and has been known to wave her arms at passengers as though she wants their attention.
The Spectre of Bank Station
The supposed ghost of a lady named Sarah Whitehead has been heard and seen at Bank Station. She is normally seen in the corridors and is looking for her brother, Philip, who worked at the Bank of England. Philip was sentenced to death in the early 1800’s for forgery. So traumatized by her brothers death she visited the bank every day asking to see him and when she finally died she was buried near the bank in the yard of a nearby church which no longer exists.
The Screams of Farrington Station
An old station that has been in operation since 1863. Ann Naylor haunts this station. A 13 year old girl who was murdered in a building which was demolished before the station was built. Passengers have reported loud screams, crying and pleas for help within the station. The ghost is now known as “The Screaming Spectre” and has become very famous.
