Dude who drinks blood and sleeps in a coffin claims to be a real-life vampire
Here we go again - another goth up to no good, as usual. This time we're referring to Andreas Bathory who claims to be a real-life vampire who spends his days drinking blood, sleeping in a coffin and 'connecting with souls of the dead'. FFS
Romanian-born Andreas says that despite what you might think about vampires just being fiction, they're actually real and they walk among us. Hmm, I think this dude has been watching too much Blade. As well as dressing in all black, Andreas also lives on the grounds of 'Dracula's Castle', aka Bran Castle in Transylvania and insists that 'true vampirism' shouldn't be confused with the sexualised idea of drinking blood.
No one apart from Andreas and his family know how old he is because he refuses to reveal his true age, but he does say the traditions he's involved in date back over 600 years. So he's looking bloody good for his age. He says:
I keep a distance from the modern online vampire community. We preserve traditions that are more than 600 years old.
The modern vampire community is full of sexual practices that work against the nature of existence of the higher self of the vampire. The vampire within doesn't fulfil itself through sexual deviance, blood fetishes, or BDSM.
This is not the way of the vampire.
When asked how he finds willing participants to drink blood from, he says he has many volunteers:
We feed from consensual donors only. You would be surprised by the number of people who freely offer themselves to you if you let them know you are a vampire.Believe it or not, I never ask - few of us have to. People offer themselves to us of their own free will to understand vampires and our energy.There are health risks, but no different from crossing the street. We take measures to make sure the transaction is safe.
I'm pretty sure it's a tad more dangerous than crossing the street. I ain't going to catch aids from strolling across the road. I'm not saying he has aids btw, I'm sure he's as a clean as a whistle.
Andreas is also the elected leader of the Ordo Dracul coven, which is basically a group of like-minded people who claim that the coven dates back to 1476. In case you're wondering what made Andreas choose this bizarre way of life, it was apparently after he was visited by by Vlad Tepes AKA Vlad the Impaler. So yup, he likes drinking blood, sleeping in a coffin and says he Vlad the Impaler popped round for a cuppa.
I mean yeah, he's a proper cringe warrior, but it all sounds rather wonderful inside Andreas' brain. I'd bloody love to live in a fantasy world. I could pop to the pub with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and just have a hilarious afternoon. I think this dudes onto something!
