Old Timey Crimey #30: The Croglin Grange Vampire - "Keep the Shutters Closed"

We're continuing our October Spooky Crimes series with the Croglin Grange Vampire. He knows where you live, and he's at your window. Scratching, screeching, screeeeee. Remember: lunatics don't escape every day. OR DO THEY? Scott has a theory that will intrigue the hell out of you. 

And along the way: how men write women, the return of British pub names, and a beer that could have been so much more.
