PHOTO: Vampire Mum That Drinks Human Blood

Mum-of-two Julia Caples is a real-life vampire - who drinks almost two litres of blood a month from willing human donors. The 45-year-old has been sucking blood for over 30 years while bringing up her two children, Alexi, 11 and Ariel, 24. 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. "When I feed off of a person and
drink their blood I feel stronger and healthier," she said.
