Sixteen-year-old Roderick “Rod” Ferrell was convinced he was actually a 500-year-old vampire. In 1996, Rod and four members of his vampire cult went to Florida on a recruiting trip and would never return the same.

  1. GREETINGS FROM KENTUCKY RELATIVES FIVE BLOCKS AWAY IN EUSTIS FLORIDA IN 1996 WHEN THESE CRIMES HAPPENED WITH MY FAMILY AND MY HUSBAND WHAT A DISGRACE WHAT A SHAME THIS ALL COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HEATHER WENDORF IS A LIAR I DO NOT KNOW HOW SHE LIVES WITH HERSELF VERY UNATTRACTIVE INSIDE AND OUT MY GOODNESS AND WHAT ROD FERRELL AND WHAT'S SCOTT ANDERSON HAS LEARNED SINCE BEING IN PRISON HOW ABOUT HOWARD ANDERSON IS A MANIPULATOR PSYCHOPATH NARCISSIST STAY AWAY FROM HIM HE GETS OUT IN 2030 HE'S HEADED BACK TO MURRAY KENTUCKY

  2. Awww, he watched scary movies and listened to spooky music, and THAT made him evil? Yeah, sure, whatever Rod.
    I was about as gothy as it was possible to be when I was younger… black lipstick, nails, hair, clothes, fishnet tights and metal studs, etc. But whaddya know? I never even once managed to start any cults or murder anyone! Hell— I've literally never even shoplifted so much as a pack of gum in my entire life, FFS!

    Do I feel compassion for Rod, knowing that he had such a bizarre and utterly dysfunctional upbringing, but still…not an excuse, pal. My grandparents and my dad had unimaginably tough childhoods, but they grew up to be loving parents and law-abiding citizens. Pull the other one…

  3. I was actually a friend with rod. I went to school with him and my ex wife actually testified against him during his trial. The thing that is looked over a lot when discussing this case i feel like is how the school would ignore this particular problem. It would not be out of the ordinary for one of these people to walk up and ask to bite you or for them to stand behind your car after school and dare you to hit them because of the whole immortal thing. In case anyone was wondering, rod and these kids were picked on unmercifully. The school was told multiple times by me and other people about these incidents and that something bad was going to happen. They ignored us. Then, after the murders took place they acted like they never had any clue something was wrong. This could have been stopped before the tragedy happened

  4. My step-brother, Frank, was friends with this guy. He also believed he was a vampire. He would tell me he could leave his body and go anywhere he wanted and that he was watching me even though I was 3 hours away, among other creepy things. If he hadn't been in Ohio with my stepmom and my Dad he would be in this story as well. 😬

  5. Honestly some of the things that they are doing is somewhat a normal teenager thing like creating a clique and stealing cars and getting in trouble with the law only thing they did wrong was kill someone

  6. I lived in the town where this happened. Everyone was shocked Heather was released with no charges. Come to find out, her grandfather was a retired judge, Hmmmm. She then ended up living with an area attorney and his family. Hmmm again.

  7. I hate this man says ‘I was into dark stuff, I watched hell raiser’ like bro I watched true crime, horror movies, and listened to heavy metal since I was 14 and never once thought about killing someone!! That’s a stupid ass excuse to try and and get people to feel sorry for you.

  8. But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?

  9. I am the monster there are no beds where i sleep and the dark arts is all wrong. Prayers are also to be consider as magic as well and evil is not born nor taught it is are always there some can control it and some cant

  10. If they wanted to be vampires or cult members or whatever, they could have just done that. They murdered innocent people. I don’t believe Heather is so innocent. She knew what she was doing when she was telling him that she was being abused. She was and probably still is a spoiled brat that wanted away from her parents. I can’t believe she got away with everything
