You wouldn’t want to meet ruby-lipped Randy Belaire on a dark night because she is classified as a walking, breathing, blood-sucking 2009 era vampire. Like King George Third of England, the young Toronto beauty suffers from an ancient illness call phoria which causes a craving for human blood and an aversion to daylight.Photo by Ron Laytner Edit International
Says Dr. Kaplan, "The work of the Vampire Research Center is serious - dead serious. Some of the people we interview are very dangerous. Police around the world have often reported finding bodies completely drained of blood. Some of the people we have interviewed are among those responsible." Photo Edit International
“When I was nine I made a blood-sister oath with another girl. Later, we sucked on our fingers to make the blood stop flowing. Her finger wouldn’t stop bleeding so I sucked on it too. That’s when something snapped in my taste buds. I grew excited. I could feel the beating of her pulse." For many years after the ritual oath incident Randi went into the meat section of super markets and when no one was looking, made a hole in the end of fresh meat cartons and guiltily drank cold blood.

Randy relaxes while taking in blood. She has a group of friends who see her in her dark basement apartment on a scheduled basis. They relax together as friends, one giving, Randy, receiving. Photo by Ron Laytner, Edit International

Stephen Kaplan, 54, may have broken his rule about meeting people. He was found dead at home, front door unlocked, eyes open, a look of horror on his silently screaming face. Police said he was victim of an apparent heart attack – or was it something else? Photo Edit International
