So much intergenerational trauma in this story. One of the most disturbing parts of this to me is that the grandpa seems to have never been brought to justice for his decades of predatory behavior.
Hello~ I'm a VtM player and had some thoughts about the broken glass Rod kept in his room, in the game each vampire is from a specific lineage or "clan" that have different powers and traits unique to them. Based off statements from people who were with Rod at this time about what powers he believed he had and the way he acted, I believe he based himself on the Malkavian clan. For context: Malkavians are said to be extremely unpredictable, and insane who have fits of rage and violence - Even in the VtM universe they are the outcasts and weirdoes and in the lore are said to very mentally ill and have broken lives before their "embrace" or transition into being vampire. The symbol of Clan Malkav is a broken mirror which symbolizes their shattered minds, and they mark their territory, or crime scenes in the form of leaving broken glass or shattered mirrors. This is my theory as to why he kept broken glass in his mirror, its essentially the flag or symbol of the Clan he believed himself to be apart of.
I was just thinking the same thing! I also play vtm I'm new to it but my brain went straight to the different clans and I pulled my book out to see if there was a reference. I think this is a strong theory
Things like broken glass can also be used to create negative energy space, so I’m wondering if it’s a mixture of the 2, what you’ve mentioned from the game with his satanic worship stuff
I've been trying to figure out why this series of her is really hitting it and I have just realized that it's because this is how us women talk when spilling tea to our friends. Either over drinks or while doing makeup!
As someone who has been repeatedly abused; physically, sexually and emotionally, some days it is enough that I did not grow up to identify as a vampire and abuse/brutalize other people. If you were abused and also are not a vampire…. I’m really proud of us today okay.
My biggest problem is why the f wasn’t the grandfather locked up for abusing children?! It’s been happening throughout generations and was even mentioned during the trail and no one even blinked at it?
Haha I was wondering if it was a little sisters or cousins room when I heard he doesn't have a little sister lol it couldn't have been this blood thirsty occult dudes room and bear
Bailey explaining the vampire dnd has the same energy as a mom who's like, not totally sure what the hype is for the thing, but is supportive of their kid's weird interests lol
Literally reminded me of when my Mom explained what eSports were to our extended family because I joined my college's Rainbow Six Siege team a couple years back lol
I love how a few weird ones ruin a style. Like goths today(like me) are actually really nice. But old people just won’t have it and verbally abuse us in public and in private.
Press charges against the person who abused you. Demand child support from the man who left you. Things aren't the same as they were 40 years ago, right? 🤞
Bailey, talking about the vampire gang hurting the doggos: They should have been burned at the stake. Me: That's a completely rationale punishment, yes.
One of the saddest parts of this story to me is that Sondra made a lot of sacrifices to take care of her son, even when she was so young and the circumstances so difficult, but in the end, it was something she herself brought into her son's life that doomed him.
She did not make many sacrifices at all actually, she left him with a man that abused both her and her son to go be with her new husband, only to come crawling back when they divorced. And she continued to live with their abuser for years.
I’m always so excited for it, but I have to make myself wait til the kids go to bed or it’s not enjoyable lol it’s sooo hard waiting 5 more hours after I get off work.
I grew up in Eustis, FL and a couple of my high school teachers at Eustis High were Heather and Rod's teachers and they all said they believed she was in on it the whole time. No one really believed that she was fully innocent and she ended up leaving town. Also, Sanford is the same place Trayvon Martin was killed and Casey Anthony's grandparents lived in our town as well, crazy things happen in Central Florida.
Honestly it makes me sad that grandpa and his friends aren't the ones rotting in prison. How much of this could have been prevented if Rod's mom had gotten the help she needed?
I actually say smtn similar to my fiancé 😂 if I ever tell a story where a person is only present for that event, I mention that they done have to remember the person after I tell my story 🤣
A red shirt! For you non-nerdy youngin's, that's a character in the original Star Trek that will soon be killed off, very predictably. They wore TaaaDaaa...red uniforms being lower in rank.
That's a tough one. He was introduced to the vampire stuff from his mom. She abandoned him with his grandparents knowing that her dad abused him and then he meets a girl that says she's being sexually abused by her father.... maybe in the moment he raged out on the father and because his own mother didn't save him he let that go on her mother..... man, what a tough situation. Parenting people!!! It makes a difference!!!
I haven't listened to the entire video .... did she claim that Sondra got Rod into Vampirism? Simply not true....she followed him as she thought it was a way to connect with her son. And yes, I know .... I was the reporter in Murray who broke this story about their vampirism to the world (until then, they were just considered troubled teens).

Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Do it today, don't delay. Time is short. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10
I kept forgetting how young these kids were when they committed this horrible crime. I think Rod was set up for failure due to the instability and abuse from his family but it doesn’t excuse these acts. He definitely deserves to spend his life in prison.
Me too! And he was born the same year as me. I graduated high school the year he went to prison. A very sobering thought! He’s still there and I’ve done so much in the past 23 years! Wow!
Bailey: She needs something that could make her feel better, something that could take away all the pain. Me: Aww man, she did coke didn't she? Bailey: And she found her escape in a table-top role playing game...that's probably not where you thought this was going huh? Me: I did not. 😭
Bailey: Rod turned his bedroom into a shrine for the occult, like supercreepy - Also Bailey: *shows a picture of said bedroom with a cute teddy bear in full view*
Because she definitely is the whole plan to steal the car is wacko. Why would she need to leave the door unlocked for them to get in while her parents were home when she was going home couldn't she have just grabbed the keys or taken the car herself and pick them up she let them in there cuz she knew what was going to happen...
@@danngspeed1732 "oh yeah i unlocked the door for you. if you see my family there just ask them nicely for the car keys, thanks, they'll give you the car no questions asked" makes no sense.
That's funny! I kept repeating the word to myself after she said it and was wondering why it didn't sound right 🤣🤣🤣 It was a really long day at work, lol...
RE: reference to broken glass in the corner of his room. If broken mirror pieces and/or reflective other possible explanation. Collection of common broken glass can disrupt energy and cause a darker confusing energy in a space. Similar to standing water and clutter or filth in dark corners. If he was playing a game that you have to create energy/situations in areas to be favorable to what you wish to appeal to and accomplish. Please be nice just a short "best guess".
@@astral.trippin never knew that. Thank you for your comment. So does it work kinda like a smoke screen for an opening or a disruptive barrier to a path? I am Seriously intrigued, please do not take my question as offensive. I am sincerely asking with respect and wanting deeper understanding.
I have literally never cared about a theme song as much as I care about yours. Not hearing it made me realize just how much I need it. Weird, wild stuff.
Hahaha. I’ve got my husband addicted to Bailey. To the point he asks me “how Does her make up look” throughout the video. While we work at home side by side. He quickly says. Hey it’s Monday. Time for some Bailey. He was the one that noticed the theme song was missing. I thought that was so fricking cute. Had to share. Love you Bailey!!!!!!!
“But as we know, this is not the Rainbow and Sunshine Show.” Imagine if Bailey decides to do a Rainbow, Sunshine, and Story Saturday show after this which is her chatting over brunch 👌🏼
“Back then, long distance was expensive.” Girl…don’t remind me how old I am. I can’t believe there are people alive today that don’t understand landline phones. 😮💨😂
I grew up in Eustis, FL where some of this takes place. They would do some of their "rituals" at the local cemetary a block from my house. My middle school boyfriend knew Rod, and my brother was close friends with Heather's older sister. Every time I hear this story on a larger outlet, it sends chills.
I grew up in eustis as well and I also lived in the neighborhood the crime took place at. Didn’t know this happened until years later though since I was a small child when it happened
I was born and live in Murray, my. Like you all, it’s so strange when cases hit so close to home. This is not the first time I have heard documentaries on this case. My dad even delivered the mail to his Moms for a couple years.
Ugh- this one was rough. Like Bailey often says when she covers their life story, I’m also not trying to garner sympathy for the accused. But Roderick’s life was set on just an abhorrent trajectory from day one. And yes, people can change & learn & grow. But sometimes circumstances truly are out of control. Again- NOT excusing the crimes. These kids (which they were) seemed like they were so beaten down by life. Can you imagine the internal pain they had that took them to these extremes? So many generations just destroyed here.
@@yara-nd5ky I mean not necessarily perfectly normal unless they had a ton of help/therapy but definitely not everyone with severely traumatic childhoods turned out to become a criminal
Not to be a vampire lore nerd on main, but that's because original mirrors back in the day were backed with silver and silver as a pure metal supposedly doesn't interact well with the "unpure" or supernatural which is why silver bullets are effective weapons against werewolves and silver chains are effective weapons/defense against vampires. So a vampire would not appear in a silver-backed mirror. Of course, silver would oxidize and dull over time. Nowadays, mirrors are usually backed with aluminum because it's cheaper and doesn't oxidize the same and is still reflective. According to Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels and the TV show they inspired, True Blood, the "no reflection in the mirror" thing is something vampires made up so they would go undetected by humans because well... if you can see them in the mirror, clearly they're not a vampire! I find that an amusing take, but the silver backing on the mirror is much more feasible. Of course... "feasible" as far as lore regarding legends of fictional beings goes anyway. lol
"what is that called" triggered my overactive imagination and i pictured Bailey laying in bed then suddenly sitting up "Necrophilia!" freaking out any humans and animals in her general vicinity. You are amazing bailey x, also I barely survived without the theme song last week thank you lol!
I know Bailey probably won’t see this but I watch you while playing with/feeding my 4 month old daughter and she hears your voice and laughs and tries to talk to you. It’s so cute to me and I just had to share :)
I’ve heard several versions of this story over the years bc I’m from Murray KY & some of my family knew some of the people involved! This is the best version I’ve seen/ heard yet!
This one made me cry a couple times. When you talked about Rod being abused at 5 years old - I was 5 when my abuse started . Also, when you talked about the animals. Thank you for making that part short. I feel for animals so much. All they want is to be loved. :-(
He was my mom’s neighbor in high school. I remember her talking about it a little, but all I knew about was a group of people sharpening their teeth and acting like vampires 😳 She said she hung out with him for a little bit before he got into the vampire stuff and told me about neighborhood pets going missing. She grew up in Murray and I was born there
The exact moment after Charity called her Grandma and then Bailey said her grandma called the police, I felt like we had a connection XD I was thinking the same thing! Smart grandma! You go grandma!
lol! It happened in the "Devil in Disguise" video too... she put on one Lash and then talked for a minute or two before doing the other one. It was great.
I sent this story to Bailey to tell, she explains stories and it’s like your there. Thank you Bailey This happened in Lake County , Florida This kid was crazy as a sprayed roach!!!!
It's so terrible that his mom, who was also abused by her father (so, SO, SOOOO sick) felt that she was so trapped that she had to leave her child in the care of such a monster.
“Felt trapped” that’s how we word negligence when it comes to mothers. I’m so sick and tired of mothers being coddled while fathers are always painted as the bad ones. This POS woman left her child with the man who sexually assaulted her as a kid, and then left her own child for a new man, and not just that but left him to the man who she knows what fate will await the little boy. The woman is the actual culprit of what happened to the guy. Absolutely sickening.
IT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!! Love Halloween 👻 All Hallows Eve 🎃 Samhain ⭐️ Harvest Festival ❤️All Saints Day 💙 lol and the entire month of October is Halloween
I love Anne Rice. I discovered her while I was in middle school and I would spend my days in the public library reading her books. Pretty intense story lines for a middle school kid but I loved it(:
Bailey, I love that you always try to empathize with the experiences of every person in the stories you cover. The fact that you want to understand why people make these choices and that you try to relate to aspects of their experiences is just *chef's kiss*. Also, your goth girl look is fab!
bailey: he’d wear all black- me: grow his hair out, dye it black? bailey: grow his hair out, perform rituals me: okay so no sparkles or twilight got it

First, Vampire the Masquerade & Dungeon & Dragons are really fun so it’s so cool to hear Bailey mention them! Secondly, this is such a sad story of intergenerational trauma and how it hurts whole communities.
I did my college sociology project on vampire subculture. I used to play Vampire Masquarade too. I added Rod and I think 4 other murderers who thought they were real vampires (not tied to Rod). It was fascinating.
Dear whoever is reading this, I wish there was a way for everyone to surpass the current obstacles or sadness/ stress and let happiness enter your heart! i truly sense and know you will have a beautiful life ahead of you! Nothing in life is ever easy, but what's important is that YOU keep going! Youre worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell you otherwise! I wish all of you plenty of health and strength during these tough times. You are loved, you are strong, you got this! Never forget that! Sending much Love over from Germany 💕🙏✨
I'm too much into this story. the whole friendship, Gothic, vampy thing... sounds so familiar. in the end... we had both borderline, mentally abused by mum or "dad". I'm soooo proud of us that we made it!
I’m pretty sure she has some kind of link on her profile that takes you to a google doc sheet or something like that to add onto so that she can work her way through the list. I might be wrong, but I vaguely remember it being mentioned
Vampire the Masquerade was a community in the early 90's and was a very much an escapism, very enjoyable. However, this group of kids were talked about as a blemish, suddenly all underage players were kicked out or had to provide parental approval. I think that it was such an influencing game because unlike DnD, it morphed into Live Action Roleplay. Which attracted more than just your average gamer. There are still active LARPing groups, and is a enjoyable safe way to spend an evening.
Yes, I was very young when it was popular. But my partner is 8 yrs older than me and talks about how he would play VtM games in the parks with groups of friends. I don't know if word of this got all the way to the West coast though. I'll have to ask. News definitely traveled slower and had less of an impact nationally than it does now.
I remember that i had some friends that played or got involved. It seemed kinda cool. I am 44 so it was around my time. My dad owned a comic book store. He gave me promo packets for that and magic the gathering.

Hello~
I'm a VtM player and had some thoughts about the broken glass Rod kept in his room, in the game each vampire is from a specific lineage or "clan" that have different powers and traits unique to them. Based off statements from people who were with Rod at this time about what powers he believed he had and the way he acted, I believe he based himself on the Malkavian clan. For context: Malkavians are said to be extremely unpredictable, and insane who have fits of rage and violence - Even in the VtM universe they are the outcasts and weirdoes and in the lore are said to very mentally ill and have broken lives before their "embrace" or transition into being vampire. The symbol of Clan Malkav is a broken mirror which symbolizes their shattered minds, and they mark their territory, or crime scenes in the form of leaving broken glass or shattered mirrors.

Hi, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Do it today, don't delay. Time is short. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10
Honestly, shout-out to Charity’s grandma. What an icon.
very slay, shes a literal queen 💅
shoutout to Charity’s grandma for listening to her gut and calling the police! that’s a strong intuition. what a smart woman
Im sure there was more to it
Brian Laundrie's parents should take note.
Imagine people gathering at your tombstone to cut each other and lick each other's wounds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. A literal "why me" situation
OK so hear me out. If I put I sign up on my graveside saying that its OK to do that on my plot would that encourage or discourage the behavior? Lol 😆
Bruh💀
and then you're like: "At least I'm already dead. Just let me grab my ghost popcorn."
Whenever Bailey introduces a new person to the story and shows a mug shot as their picture, I’m like “okay so it’s gonna be interesting” 👀
I usually Google them after I listen to her story. Out of interest
I usually think "oh it's going to be like that, eh? It's going to be a spicy presence"
same
"This is not the rainbow and sunshine show..."
And that's why I love it!
I kept forgetting how young these kids were when they committed this horrible crime. I think Rod was set up for failure due to the instability and abuse from his family but it doesn’t excuse these acts. He definitely deserves to spend his life in prison.
Agreed. His behavior was violent and erratic, and I think the risks of releasing him are greater than keeping him in jail.
I agree also. Too much at stake if he’s let free.
Me too! And he was born the same year as me. I graduated high school the year he went to prison. A very sobering thought! He’s still there and I’ve done so much in the past 23 years! Wow!
How young where they
@@Elricsedric Older teens years I believe

Not the devils lettuce BRUH😂😂😂😂
Love that you call it that
That had me rollin 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was dying with her hilarious antics 🤣
Yup I know 😂😂
That chapter guy mike says that n devil's dandruff for coke
Its really the worst knowing most of these stories of killers starts with them being abused as children. This can be prevented
Love her story telling skills
She has none she just says it casually that's why I like it alot
i want to like, but don’t want to ruin the 420
Oh of course he should spend the rest of his life in prison.
@@Elricsedric still kind of a skill
You know what I don’t love? Economically detrimental bot parasites like these
Bailey: She needs something that could make her feel better, something that could take away all the pain.
Me: Aww man, she did coke didn't she?
Bailey: And she found her escape in a table-top role playing game...that's probably not where you thought this was going huh?
Me: I did not. 😭
LITERALLY ME
the twists and turns here started RIGHT out the gate ma'am
Best comment!!!
Hahahaah yes!
😂😂😂😂
I don't think coke takes away the pain 😅 there substances out that do that trick way better :p
My name is Martha, so when you said “ You might have guessed it Martha”, I almost choked on my food 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha i wouldve been so confused 😭
🤣
😆😆🤣
She says “Martha” all the time and I’ve always wondered how people named Martha reacted when she says it. 🤣
“It doesn’t matter because he’s not a lasting character in the story”
😂😬😳
Story of my life Bailey 😅
Also, “hey Saundra GET BETTER IDOLS!”🤦🏻♀️
Bailey: Rod turned his bedroom into a shrine for the occult, like supercreepy -
Also Bailey: *shows a picture of said bedroom with a cute teddy bear in full view*
I noticed that, too! 😄 Still a child inside that hardening heart. 💔
Lol and a cross not upside down
I noticed the cross and teddy bear right away too and couldn’t look past it
Also, while sitting with a super "creepy" background 🤣
Oh pu
Bailey about a life sentence - “Well, if he’s a vampire then that’s gonna be a long time cause he’s gonna live foreverrrr.”
Had me rollin’… 😂☠️❤️
I was out when she said sorry bro
She had me dead when she said that 😭💀
U from now on 😂😂😂
Me too haha

I wanted to mention that Heather's sister begged the court to charge Heather too. She felt that Heather was also responsible.
Because she definitely is the whole plan to steal the car is wacko. Why would she need to leave the door unlocked for them to get in while her parents were home when she was going home couldn't she have just grabbed the keys or taken the car herself and pick them up she let them in there cuz she knew what was going to happen...
@@danngspeed1732 yeah very true man
@@danngspeed1732 I reach out to him a couple years ago. He was going through a few minor legal issues but he was pretty cool.
@@danngspeed1732 "oh yeah i unlocked the door for you. if you see my family there just ask them nicely for the car keys, thanks, they'll give you the car no questions asked"
makes no sense.
if he’s “immortal” and got a life sentence…does that mean he thinks he’ll be in jail for eternity
I wonder if they have to keep Rod in a special prison cell so he doesn’t fly away when he turns into a bat🙄
🥴🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🧛🧛 🦇🦇
😂😂😂
love how Bailey says IRREVELANT instead of irrelevant and not even notices it 😍
I thought she was just being fancy hahaha
because this isnt about grammar dugh
I love how you said "not even notices it" while correcting her and you didn't even notice it. 😉
hahahaha wth I'm not correcting her! just thought it was cute
That's funny! I kept repeating the word to myself after she said it and was wondering why it didn't sound right 🤣🤣🤣 It was a really long day at work, lol...
Bailey - ‘The LSD is not working with him, it’s working against him’
Me, sat in bed, explaining to my cat - ‘you see Balthazar, LSD is bad’

RE: reference to broken glass in the corner of his room. If broken mirror pieces and/or reflective other possible explanation. Collection of common broken glass can disrupt energy and cause a darker confusing energy in a space. Similar to standing water and clutter or filth in dark corners. If he was playing a game that you have to create energy/situations in areas to be favorable to what you wish to appeal to and accomplish. Please be nice just a short "best guess".
Very interesting
Often in witchcraft broken glass is often used for protection and power which goes along here pretty well.
@@astral.trippin never knew that. Thank you for your comment. So does it work kinda like a smoke screen for an opening or a disruptive barrier to a path? I am Seriously intrigued, please do not take my question as offensive. I am sincerely asking with respect and wanting deeper understanding.
This is super intriguing of a thought.
Love your thoughts here but had to chuckle cause it's all about energy and your last name is Powers 😂 funny coincidence ❤
I GET SO EXCITED FOR THE “shana sha shan shaaaa”
I DO TOOOOOOOOO
Sameeeee
SAMEEEE
Was totally singing along
Last week I almost didn't survive. Can't believe it's been a week already
I have literally never cared about a theme song as much as I care about yours. Not hearing it made me realize just how much I need it. Weird, wild stuff.
They should have jailed 🙏🙏🙏
It's my text signal or I wouldn't survive! 😄
Hahaha. I’ve got my husband addicted to Bailey. To the point he asks me “how Does her make up look” throughout the video. While we work at home side by side.
He quickly says. Hey it’s Monday. Time for some Bailey.
He was the one that noticed the theme song was missing. I thought that was so fricking cute.
Had to share.
Love you Bailey!!!!!!!
@@kstoriepeterson Oh you lucky girl.. I need a husband like that! I have one, but he just doesn't get what's awesome or not 🙄
“But as we know, this is not the Rainbow and Sunshine Show.”
Imagine if Bailey decides to do a Rainbow, Sunshine, and Story Saturday show after this which is her chatting over brunch 👌🏼
Yes, please 🙏😍
This needs to happen!
She just shows us her favorite tik toks lol
Yas 👏 sign me up.
I do miss her old chatty grwm’s ❤️🌈☀️
“Back then, long distance was expensive.”
Girl…don’t remind me how old I am. I can’t believe there are people alive today that don’t understand landline phones. 😮💨😂
I grew up in Eustis, FL where some of this takes place. They would do some of their "rituals" at the local cemetary a block from my house. My middle school boyfriend knew Rod, and my brother was close friends with Heather's older sister. Every time I hear this story on a larger outlet, it sends chills.
I grew up in eustis as well and I also lived in the neighborhood the crime took place at. Didn’t know this happened until years later though since I was a small child when it happened
I work with Dana who's also apart of this case. It's crazy to hear her talk about it.
Wow
I was born and live in Murray, my. Like you all, it’s so strange when cases hit so close to home. This is not the first time I have heard documentaries on this case. My dad even delivered the mail to his Moms for a couple years.
Jerri Lynn does she still seem strange? like said in the video? can’t imagine how being involved in that would have affected her
Ugh- this one was rough. Like Bailey often says when she covers their life story, I’m also not trying to garner sympathy for the accused. But Roderick’s life was set on just an abhorrent trajectory from day one. And yes, people can change & learn & grow. But sometimes circumstances truly are out of control. Again- NOT excusing the crimes. These kids (which they were) seemed like they were so beaten down by life. Can you imagine the internal pain they had that took them to these extremes? So many generations just destroyed here.
Yes the man responsible did not ever go to trial or anything for what he did to Rod and his family.
What's your point exactly ? Many children who have horrible childhoods also grew up to be perfectly normal.
@@yara-nd5ky I mean not necessarily perfectly normal unless they had a ton of help/therapy but definitely not everyone with severely traumatic childhoods turned out to become a criminal
@@yara-nd5ky they don't turn into criminals yeah but I wouldn't say they're perfectly normal.
@@yara-nd5ky yes that’s true but you can’t compare how other people handle abuse.
I giggled over the "reflection of himself" cause aren't Vamps supposed to be unable to see their reflection?🤣🤣 Sorry. Carry on!
Underrated comment
Not to be a vampire lore nerd on main, but that's because original mirrors back in the day were backed with silver and silver as a pure metal supposedly doesn't interact well with the "unpure" or supernatural which is why silver bullets are effective weapons against werewolves and silver chains are effective weapons/defense against vampires. So a vampire would not appear in a silver-backed mirror. Of course, silver would oxidize and dull over time. Nowadays, mirrors are usually backed with aluminum because it's cheaper and doesn't oxidize the same and is still reflective. According to Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels and the TV show they inspired, True Blood, the "no reflection in the mirror" thing is something vampires made up so they would go undetected by humans because well... if you can see them in the mirror, clearly they're not a vampire! I find that an amusing take, but the silver backing on the mirror is much more feasible. Of course... "feasible" as far as lore regarding legends of fictional beings goes anyway. lol
@@nyxistyx27 That makes sense now.
@@nyxistyx27 I didn't know that about old school mirrors thanks for sharing the knowledge
Û it
Rest in your immortality Anne Rice you will always be alive through your books. Not just known for the crazies that took things to far
"what is that called" triggered my overactive imagination and i pictured Bailey laying in bed then suddenly sitting up "Necrophilia!" freaking out any humans and animals in her general vicinity. You are amazing bailey x, also I barely survived without the theme song last week thank you lol!
I literally thought the same thing! I thought she was going to remember it further into the video and blurt it out 😂
I know Bailey probably won’t see this but I watch you while playing with/feeding my 4 month old daughter and she hears your voice and laughs and tries to talk to you. It’s so cute to me and I just had to share :)
that’s so pure and wholesome 🥺😭 i hope bailey sees this comment i know she would adore this
I was worried my son would sing the theme song instead of talking. I binged Baileys MMM Mondays for all his night feeds.
It’s weird.
I listen while I sew & my 2 yr old daughter hangs out around me, whenever she hears Bailey say “byyyeeee” my daughter will say bye back 😂
I vaguely remember my mom telling me a watered-down version of this story as a cautionary tale not to be goth LOL
I’ve heard several versions of this story over the years bc I’m from Murray KY & some of my family knew some of the people involved! This is the best version I’ve seen/ heard yet!
I was the reporter at the Ledger & Times that broke the story about their Vampirism. Do you remember a band called "Trippin Lizard"?
This one made me cry a couple times. When you talked about Rod being abused at 5 years old - I was 5 when my abuse started . Also, when you talked about the animals. Thank you for making that part short. I feel for animals so much. All they want is to be loved. :-(
❤Yes, I am the same. Animals teach us a more pure kind of love...
He was my mom’s neighbor in high school. I remember her talking about it a little, but all I knew about was a group of people sharpening their teeth and acting like vampires 😳 She said she hung out with him for a little bit before he got into the vampire stuff and told me about neighborhood pets going missing. She grew up in Murray and I was born there
That's scary af
"It's like Dungeons and Dragons... but with no dungeons. Or dragons."
I mean you could morph into a dragon if you are playing a Gangrel.
The exact moment after Charity called her Grandma and then Bailey said her grandma called the police, I felt like we had a connection XD I was thinking the same thing! Smart grandma! You go grandma!
I love that she goes on a whole rant with only one eye done and i can’t stop focusing on it 😂 ughhh i love her
I know me either lol
lol! It happened in the "Devil in Disguise" video too... she put on one Lash and then talked for a minute or two before doing the other one. It was great.
Just put the kids down for a nap and packed a bowl of the devils lettuce perfect timing Bailey 🥰😍
Sammmmeeee
SAME minus the kids!
Same!!!
Lol I’m smoking a spliff no kids tho 😩😅
I'm right there with youuuu
"turned his room into a shrine to the occult, super creepy"
*Proceeds to show us photos with a teddy bear in each shot
😂😂😂
Upside down crosses but there was only one and it was up right ..🤣😂😒
This comment 👌
I sent this story to Bailey to tell, she explains stories and it’s like your there. Thank you Bailey
This happened in Lake County , Florida
This kid was crazy as a sprayed roach!!!!
I'm so tickled by Bailey's description of Vampire the Masquerade. She should have another channel where she blind reacts to really nerdy stuff.
Bailey reading RPG Horror stories though.
YEEEESSSS!
An episode where Bailey plays DND and we watch her go from very perplexed to VERY into it
And okay them too
“Unfortunately this isn’t the rainbow and sunshine show” I laughed so hard 😂 We know Bailey, we know lol
U can do it 😂😂😂
It's so terrible that his mom, who was also abused by her father (so, SO, SOOOO sick) felt that she was so trapped that she had to leave her child in the care of such a monster.
Yep so sad 😞 I can’t imagine how desperate she must have been to leave her son with her dad
I was thinking this too but also maybe she thought as a boy he'd be safe? Either way it's so sad
U from now on the 😂😂
“Felt trapped” that’s how we word negligence when it comes to mothers. I’m so sick and tired of mothers being coddled while fathers are always painted as the bad ones. This POS woman left her child with the man who sexually assaulted her as a kid, and then left her own child for a new man, and not just that but left him to the man who she knows what fate will await the little boy. The woman is the actual culprit of what happened to the guy. Absolutely sickening.
I think that is exactly the essence of the whole story. Everything could be different.
Bailey: „when you think about Vampires, what do you think?“
Me: Damon Salvatore 😂😂😂
Same😂😂
I thought it was going to be a twillight or a Vampire diaries cult
I feel you lol
I thought Twilight and Count Fangulla from Sesame Street. 😂
Interview with a vampire🙂❤️
Bailey: "You might wanna skip this one..."
Me: "NEVER!!!!!"
the way she just said "irrevelant" at 25:40 was so cute
Sounded like 3 year old me saying ephelant instead of elephant.
Irrevellant😂😂
It’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎃 🍬

Halloween! My favorite.
Love this time of year and she's adorable🎃
I love Anne Rice. I discovered her while I was in middle school and I would spend my days in the public library reading her books. Pretty intense story lines for a middle school kid but I loved it(:
Bailey, I love that you always try to empathize with the experiences of every person in the stories you cover. The fact that you want to understand why people make these choices and that you try to relate to aspects of their experiences is just *chef's kiss*.
Also, your goth girl look is fab!
I can’t wait for spooky season with Bailey😍
Soooky so soooky

I will never understand how a parent who was abused by their parent will then go and leave their child with them🥴
Moral of the story and many others: don’t traumatize kids 🥰
"Rod also turned his room into a freaking shrine of the occult." Notices teddy bear next to him. Next picture: teddy bear is still there 😂
The teddy bear was obviously a demon in disguise!!👹
Yes! Thank you lol
It looks like the teddy bear is floating in the second picture or thrown
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that😂
🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘
First, Vampire the Masquerade & Dungeon & Dragons are really fun so it’s so cool to hear Bailey mention them! Secondly, this is such a sad story of intergenerational trauma and how it hurts whole communities.
I did my college sociology project on vampire subculture. I used to play Vampire Masquarade too. I added Rod and I think 4 other murderers who thought they were real vampires (not tied to Rod). It was fascinating.
Dear whoever is reading this, I wish there was a way for everyone to surpass the current obstacles or sadness/ stress and let happiness enter your heart! i truly sense and know you will have a beautiful life ahead of you! Nothing in life is ever easy, but what's important is that YOU keep going!
Youre worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell you otherwise! I wish all of you plenty of health and strength during these tough times. You are loved, you are strong, you got this! Never forget that!
Sending much Love over from Germany 💕🙏✨
Thank you from Texas, glad Bailey can bring us all together. Hope you had a wonderful day.
Danke!
I really needed this. Like way more than you’ll ever know, you have no clue, but you probably saved a life today. Love from Houston Texas. ❤️❤️
Really needed to hear this. Thank you. 💙
Thank you from Virginia, USA. I hope you had an amazing day as well!
Bailey: “I messed up my eyeliner 🥺”
Me: “Girrrl where??😂”
I said the same thing! I'm like I *wish* my eyeliner looked like that. Haha.
I seen it. .the bottom...but she fixed it
Ladies makeup is Fakeup! You must be gone by morning!
I don't wear makeup but I had the same reaction
Idk why but you made me think of like, Dora for adults lol.
The grandma that called the cops based off intuition is the real hero.
nice when gramma has your back :O
I'm too much into this story. the whole friendship, Gothic, vampy thing... sounds so familiar. in the end... we had both borderline, mentally abused by mum or "dad".
I'm soooo proud of us that we made it!
I was having a horrible day this literally just turned everything around I hope you know that. ❤️
Seriously right! The notification popped up and I squealed
Me too!! I was watching something else and as soon as the notification popped up in front of my face I was like... click and the day is better!!
Oh no🥺 I hope tomorrow will work out better for you 💗
You’ve got this! 👍 hopefully your day gets better. Live long and prosper 🖖
ikr i love her so much
Please do the story on Alison Botha, from South Africa. She was disembowelled and almost decapitated but survived and her attackers might make parole.
Holy how did she live! I’ll look this up now
I've seen a documentary on her on prime but I've been to freaked out to watch it.
I’m pretty sure she has some kind of link on her profile that takes you to a google doc sheet or something like that to add onto so that she can work her way through the list. I might be wrong, but I vaguely remember it being mentioned
Oscar Pistorius would be another interesting South African case to cover.
Whoaaaa
Vampire the Masquerade was a community in the early 90's and was a very much an escapism, very enjoyable. However, this group of kids were talked about as a blemish, suddenly all underage players were kicked out or had to provide parental approval. I think that it was such an influencing game because unlike DnD, it morphed into Live Action Roleplay. Which attracted more than just your average gamer. There are still active LARPing groups, and is a enjoyable safe way to spend an evening.
Off topic but love your bun is the cutest🤍 I’m also a bunny parent 🐰 🤍
@@laneybiscuitsss9427 That is awesome, I love bunnies, my youtube has a few bunny videos of her too.
Yes, I was very young when it was popular. But my partner is 8 yrs older than me and talks about how he would play VtM games in the parks with groups of friends. I don't know if word of this got all the way to the West coast though. I'll have to ask. News definitely traveled slower and had less of an impact nationally than it does now.
Very interesting. I think it would’ve been so fun. Especially in the 90s.
I remember that i had some friends that played or got involved. It seemed kinda cool. I am 44 so it was around my time. My dad owned a comic book store. He gave me promo packets for that and magic the gathering.
