Richard Trenton Chase

It would be reassuring to imagine that all tales of vampirism in our time are the product of myth and superstition, and have no basis in reality. This usually appears to be so, as in the cases of the Highgate vampire and the Brummy vampire. Sadly, however, there continue to be instances of real vampirism, that is, dreadful crimes committed by extremely deranged individuals who believe themselves to be vampires and who act accordingly; murdering innocent victims at random to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

One such was Richard Trenton Chase, a serial killer from the city of Sacramento, California. Between 1977 and 1978 he killed six victims, drinking their blood and eating parts of their bodies. When he was caught, it emerged that he was seriously deluded. Under interrogation, he said he believed that Nazis were plotting his death by planting a certain kind of poison underneath his soap dish, which would turn his blood to powder.

Chase was born on 23 May 1950 in Santa Clara County, California. His parents split when he was a child and by all accounts, his early years were difficult. By the time he was an adolescent, he was abusing drugs and alcohol. During this time, he visited a psychiatrist complaining of sexual impotence. The psychiatrist diagnosed that he was suffering from repressed anger, but nothing further was done to improve the situation, and Chase went on to exhibit increasingly bizarre behaviour.
