Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a disturbing and unsettling story--The Gorbals Vampire. In September 1954, in Glasgow, Scotland, hundreds of children invaded The Southern Necropolis to hunt down and kill the terrifying Gorbals Vampire.

A now-infamous case of mass hysteria, the children genuinely believed they were under threat of attack by a 7-foot-tall vampire with glowing red eyes--and iron teeth.

What caused over four hundred children to arm themselves and search out a supernatural--and undead--enemy?

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore arguably the most famous cryptid of all time--The Loch Ness Monster.

Sightings of "Nessie" go back nearly 1500 years, with nearly every eyewitness claiming a prehistoric creature is roaming the dark, murky, cold depths of Loch Ness.

Is there really a prehistoric beast hiding in Scotland's largest lake? Or is The Loch Ness Monster nothing more than an oversized myth?
