Summary

In Episode 528: Virginia Mountain Dracula we are joined by Glen. He emailed the show to tell of a wild encounter he had as a child that involved the seemingly dead body of Dracula in the mountains of Virginia. On the surface with the limited information we had in the email, we thought the story was a little far-fetched. But, there were some things in the email that left us thinking there might be something to the story. As he and I started talking he filled in the gaps of information that he left out of the email which made this scenario all the more plausible in my mind. Mainly, his grandfather was a very powerful warlock practicing a very dark and sinister form of black magick.
