The Pine Ridge Vampire was a vampire-like cowboys drawing to a close, and the Pine Ridge area of Nebraska's Dawes County was held in an iron grip of terror. Attacks on cattle and the unfortunate men tasked with tending to them had been coming in thick and fast, and rumours surrounding the culprit were swirling like a dark mist over the community. People whispered about supernatural monsters and undead abominations. People whispered about a vampire on the loose.
Appearance[]
Many different herds of cattle had been attacked by this terrifying creature, and even some wild animals were found to have met their ends at the hands of the Pine Ridge Vampire. However, these weren't just regular Chupacabra-style rumours - no, instead many of the people involved in spreading the thick miasma of stories swore that the horrific attacks had been carried out by a man. This man was said to be a bona fide vampire, and was alleged to hunt down animals using only his bare hands as weapons. He would wrestle his prey to the ground before literally tearing it asunder using unnatural strength.
Some witnesses claimed to have seen this mystery man lapping the blood of his victims in the same way that a dog would lap water. Nobody had any idea who this sanguivorous spectre was - he just seemed to have suddenly appeared in December of 1895. Numerous attempts to capture the vampiric vagrant were made, but all were unsuccessful.
