GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - He only goes by his vampire name,
Lunadam, but he tells the Grand Rapids Press he's the real
thing and there are many more like him -- unfortunately not
in Grand Rapids. "It's not something that you go, 'Hey, by the
way, I'm a vampire,'" says the 34-year-old divorced father.
For most vampires, it's difficult to meet up with other
vampires and juggle jobs, families and responsibilities. The
Vampire Research Center in Babylon, N.Y., believes there up
to 1,200 real, blood-sucking vampires worldwide, some 300 in
North America and 10 or 12 in Michigan, the paper reported.
Spokesman Joel Martin says: "I'm not saying Grand Rapids is
a hick town, but it's small enough that it's hard to find other
members of this subculture. (But) if you can't find a vampire
in Los Angeles, my God, something's wrong with you."
