WILKES BARRE, PA – FEBRUARY 28: Julia Caples, 44, poses for a picture with her son Alexei Lazarowicz, 9 and her ex husband Donald Lazarowicz, 49 on February 28, 2013 in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.
A MUM-OF-THREE has shockingly revealed she drinks live human BLOOD from PEOPLE – sometimes consuming nearly TWO LITRES (half a gallon) a month. Bloodthirsty Julia Caples, 45, is a vampire fanatic who has been sucking blood from willing ‘donors’ for over 30 years and says she’s hooked. And she reveals there is a huge underground sub-culture of other drinkers all over the world, who secretly engage in the same bizarre practices. Doctors feel a ‘resurgence of blood drinking’ is happening because of the recent spate of vampire series and films like Twilight. Care-worker Julia ‘hunts’ for willing ‘donors’ – fellow vampire fans willing to let Julia drink from them – at her local occult and oddities store. During drinking sessions at her Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania home, Julia carefully cuts them with a pagan-like sterilised knife she designed herself. She believes that guzzling down the the lifeblood from others keeps her feeling young and vigorous – just like ageless vampires from cult movies.
