Episode 32 Vampires of the Dark Continent and European Jurisprudence

Dean, Laura and Krysta discuss French colonial Mauritania and the persistent legends of vampires/witches, some who were believed to be able to ingest blood or organs at a distance without causing a wound to the victim. They discuss "Count" Byron Kuhn de Prorok's trip to then Abyssinia (now known as Ethiopia) to a valley near 'Devil's Cave' and the 'Devil Bird' bats who lived there. There is further discussion of Dean's man crush, Josh Gates and his own attempt to locate the Devil Birds on Destination Truth. We visit the interesting vampire reports of Mauritius and visit near modern day Malawi and the reports of vampires there. Finally, they revisit the Catalan vampire Comte Estruch and a sighting of a man that fits his description attempting to get rides from lone travelers on back roads. Finally, they discuss the amount of reported missing people and how many of them are simply never heard of again. By the end of recording the episode, Dean was bleeding from the hand from a wound he never felt.
