A friend sent this clip to me to (I think he sent it as a joke as he thinks the tabloids are purely bogus) but the idea alone is enough for me to warrant sending this on to the Society. I pray this is only a tabloid gag scribble, but what if it’s not?

“Cuba sends task force of Vampires to America! – We got a report about four days ago stating that several eyewitnesses in Florida watched broken down trawler floating up onto a Naples beach in the very early hours and then witnessed several vampires unload from the boat and run into an aqueduct. “There are now Vampires in the sewers, I bet they wrestle with the gators now!” said one of the witnesses. “They were all pale and had long fangs, and they were all hissing like snakes. They pushed that old boat back out into the ocean, maybe to cover their tracks. But I saw it! The boat had several stickers of the Cuban flag on it!”

When we interviewed an expert in Government Intelligence, he had this to say; “We always knew one day they would try something like this. If vampires got into the sewers, there’s no telling where they may be, they could go almost anywhere in the southern states if they chose to, especially if they separated!”

If you happen to see these creatures, it is recommended that you run away and summon the authorities. We also encourage you to keep a cross handy, as you never can tell with vampires …better safe than sorry.”

If anyone is in the area of Florida or has access to sewage tunnel blueprints, I implore you to look into this possible lead. If nothing else, the southern states will sleep safer knowing it was a gag.

I don't think that the home brews in Miami and Tampa will appreciate more competition from another VI, they can be fairly territorial. Vampires from Cuba? I thought that they got 'em all during the "failed" *cough* Bay of Pigs invasion. Oh well, maybe they will wipe eachother out enough to make life easier on the rest of us.

Oh my lord, I dont even know where to begin here. If you believe anything that comes form a magazine or newsletter that comes with the caption "For entertainment purposes only" you need to seek help immediately. I personally have been on searches for vampires and have found NOTHING to support them. They exist only in folk legends, books and movies. Stop trying to needlessly scaring people to starting up vampire neiborhood watches. We live in a society that is literally scaring us all to death these days, you dont need to add this garbage to anyone’s worries.

Well, there might be enough "other" stuff in the water for them to not be bothered by it.

I know there are people out there who believe they are vampires and suck blood from there partners and even psychos in state penitentiary's who kill and drain the blood of a victim is this what you guys are talking about? I dont think you are due to everything else on this site so ive come to the conclusion most of you should check your food for any poision or drugs because now I know you are hallucinating. I have heard of mass Hallucination in the 1800's or earlier but never the modern day

It might be. You never really know until you have an encounter with them. Which you (and I), fortunately, have never had.

Vampires? In my experience with the RCX, Cuban para-agents tend to use zombies and mummies, not vampires...

Mummies? In that humidity?

Yup...wrapped up as tight and dry as Cuban cigars...

Burn just as nicely too...

I'm skeptical of this one. If there's any place south of the continental US that would involve vampires, it would be Mexico. Simply put, the Aztecs had more dealings with them than the island tribes. If I had to wager money here, it's more likely to be mass possession by some other enemy.

Well, this was (originally) a duplicate of the previous post. Wow, the acoustics here are amazing...

Must...resist...biting...sarcasm....

Resistance is futile.

In that case, I waste 'em with my crossbow!

I must apologize. I tend to act manic-depressive this time of year (more than other), and I'm in silly mode right now.

If this is the case, I wonder how well the local dead population will react to outsiders. They tend to be VERY territorial, especially the ones that have been there for a long while.
