The Vampire of Croglin Grange

An intriguing account of vampirism was related by a certain Captain
Fisher to Augustus Hare, who wrote of it in the Story of My Life.

"Fisher," said the Captain, "may sound a very plebeian name, but this
family is of a very ancient lineage, and for many hundreds of years
they have possessed a very curious old place in Cumberland, which
bears the weird name of Croglin Grange. The great characteristic of
the house is that never at any period of its very long existence has
it been more than one story high, but it has a terrace from which
large grounds sweep away towards the church in the hollow, and a fine
distant view.
