Episode 13: Ion Rimaru: The True Story of the Vampire of Bucharest Part 1

Four Words: Communist Vampire Serial Killer. Join us as we explore the strange case of Ion Rimaru and the sensational folklore that built up around this communist era serial killer. It's terrifying enough to imagine living in a city with an active serial killer, but what if everything you know about this danger that stalks the streets comes from whispered gossip and the distorting voice of communist propaganda? When you know there's something murderous in the dark, but you don't know where to turn for the truth, what do you do? How do you cope? In this episode we'll explore the twisted, seldom-told facts of Rimaru's crimes, as well as the dark rumors that spread in their wake.  Intro music: Beeckmans: Hymne for Theremin, Oboe, String Quartet and Piano (2018) - The Alba Septet (Listen to the whole thing on youtube, you'll thank us later).
