The Infamous And Bizarre Vampire Of Brooklyn Albert Fish

In the 1920s in New York City, children's bodies were turning up mutilated and dismembered in alley ways and streets all over Gotham. The residents thought the act was too gruesome for an ordinary person, so they believed it to be the work of the boogieman.

In English folklore, the boogieman's hunger was satisfied by human flesh. To live, a vampire had to continue consuming human flesh. It was a way for them to feel whole, to become a part of their kill. Among these kills were children. And although children are among the most innocent of creatures, no one shatters that innocence more than a pedophile that preys on children.

Words fail ... this is just another example of how imperfect some members of the human race still are, being just as barbaric as early man.
