  In nineteen ninety four, twenty six year old George Philip
• 0:13
  Gall disappeared in Dayton, Ohio. Years later, a police officer
• 0:19
  expressed his belief that Gall had participated in a ritual.
• 0:23
  He asserted that the bar where Gall was last seen
• 0:27
  served as a clandestine gathering spot for vampires. A forthcoming
• 0:32
  Netflix documentary aims to reveal the truth surrounding one of
• 0:36
  the largest vampire covens in the United States and its
• 0:41
  purported connection to the unsettling disappearance of a man who
• 0:45
  went missing near its base of operations. In nineteen ninety four,
• 0:51
  twenty six year old George Philip Gall, affectionately referred to
• 0:55
  as Phil by his family and friends, disembarked from a
• 0:59
  bus in Dayton, Ohio and vanished into the darkness. The
• 1:04
  father of one was last observed heading towards a night
• 1:07
  club named Asylum, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain
• 1:12
  unresolved to this day. Lacking evidence or witnesses, his case
• 1:18
  remained stagnant for over ten years until a retired police
• 1:21
  lieutenant who had dedicated years to studying the occult and
• 1:25
  gang activities made a startling assertion in two thousand eight.
• 1:31
  The former officer recounted his visit to Asylum while working
• 1:35
  under cover around the time of Phil's disappearance, explaining his
• 1:40
  belief that the establishment served as a clandestine gathering spot
• 1:45
  for individuals who identified as vampires. In nineteen ninety four,
• 1:51
  George Philip Gaul, affectionately known as Phil by his family
• 1:55
  and friends, vanished in Dayton, Ohio after being dotted near
• 2:00
  a location associated with vampire culture. According to a police officer,
• 2:06
  a bartender accounted that Phil had participated in a disturbing
• 2:10
  ritual that allegedly resulted in his beheading, with his remains
• 2:15
  disposed of in the sewers beneath the city. This chilling
• 2:19
  narrative will be explored in an upcoming Netflix documentary titled
• 2:25
  Vampires of Gem City. The description states, for the last
• 2:30
  thirty years, Dayton, Ohio has been home to the largest
• 2:34
  coven of vampires outside of New Orleans. The case of
• 2:38
  the missing man who disappeared from a goth nightclub that
• 2:42
  serves as the coven's base remained unresolved until a police
• 2:46
  officer came forward in two thousand eight with a remarkable account.
• 2:51
  The documentary, directed by Joshua Rope, is scheduled for release
• 2:56
  later this year. On the night of October thirteenth, nineteen
• 3:00
  ninety four, Phil, a roofer by profession, departed from the
• 3:05
  residence he shared with his wife an infant daughter around
• 3:09
  eleven pm, boarding a local bus. The bus driver informed
• 3:14
  authorities that Phil disembarked at a stop near Asylum and
• 3:19
  proceeded toward the night club. A report indicated that he
• 3:23
  was not experiencing any personal issues at the time of
• 3:27
  his disappearance, and it was out of character for him
• 3:30
  to leave without notice. A survey conducted by the Atlanta
• 3:34
  Vampire Alliance in twenty fifteen revealed that approximately five thousand
• 3:40
  individuals in the United States engage in vamporism practices. The
• 3:46
  family and friends of Gaul concluded that he was likely
• 3:49
  deceased and organized a memorial service for him roughly nine
• 3:53
  months following his disappearance, which remains an unsolved case. In
• 3:59
  two thousand eight, David Williams, a retired lieutenant from the
• 4:03
  Dayton Police Force and a recognized authority on the occult
• 4:08
  and gang activities, informed the Dayton Daily News that he
• 4:12
  had infiltrated the club in nineteen ninety four. According to him,
• 4:17
  the narrative suggested that Gaul was allegedly involved in an
• 4:21
  occult ritual on the upper levels of the bar, after
• 4:24
  which he was beheaded and his head was purportedly sold
• 4:28
  as a relic to the involved occultist. A bartender claimed
• 4:33
  to have witnessed the head being transported within the bar
• 4:36
  for sale. The former officer stated that Phil's remains were
• 4:41
  disposed of in the storm sewer tunnels, accessible through an
• 4:45
  opening within the club. As reported, Asylum was known for
• 4:50
  drawing a significant Gothic vampire like clientele. Recently, a woman
• 4:56
  identifying as a vampire shared insights into her distinctive lifestyle
• 5:02
  with USA Today. Helen Schweiser, twenty nine, from Worcester, Ohio,
• 5:08
  adorns herself with fangs, extravagant makeup, and a cape on
• 5:12
  a daily basis. Not all vampires are malevolent. I adhere
• 5:17
  to a higher moral standard, she stated in an interview.
• 5:21
  Helen clarified that she does not consume blood, although some
• 5:25
  individuals involved in vamporism do. Typically from consenting donors. She
• 5:31
  mentioned that exposure to sunlight induces nausea for her, but
• 5:35
  she dismissed the long standing myth that garlic is lethal
• 5:39
  to vampires. I enjoy garlic. That is merely a myth,
• 5:44
  she remarked. Helen has posted numerous videos regarding her vampiric
• 5:49
  identity on TikTok amassing over twenty eight thousand followers. In
• 5:54
  one video, she articulated the distinctions between vampires and ordinary individual,
• 6:00
  attributing it to a greater need for energy. Joseph Laycock,
• 6:05
  an author and expert on vampiism, previously informed b U
• 6:10
  that there are two categories of vampires, lifestyle and genuine ones.
• 6:16
  Lifestyle vampires appreciate the esthetic they may enjoy. Vampire the
