Lately it seems like a lot of people on the internet are talking about vampires.
This isn’t because there’s a new vampire TV show, nor have they announced a “Twilight” reboot. Instead, it’s because people on TikTok claim it New Orleans has been overrun with nocturnal creatures.
While there are plenty of legends of New Orleans and vampires, some insist that these stories are not fantasy but reality.
Now an internet user has shared his own alleged experience with a vampire – and it’s got other users freaking out.
What happened to this woman in New Orleans?
Across a series of four videos, Instagram user Angey (@fuqahoe_) recounts her experience of meeting what she believes to be a vampire.
In her first videoas it has been ever since virally repostedshe says she and her cousin decided to visit New Orleans from Tampa. When they arrived, they got into an Uber – only to get some strange advice from their driver.
“The Uber driver just kept telling us, like, ‘Stay on the main street, stay on the main street, stay on the main street. Don’t go on any back streets and just stay in the public eye,'” she recalls.
Assuming this was normal safety advice, they headed out on their evening. Finally they decided to get oysters, which meant turning down a back road. Immediately, Angey says the pair were met by “a boy”.
“He, like, literally appeared out of nowhere,” she says.
Things get weird
Right now, boy instructed the women to follow him and claim he knew a good restaurant. The pair felt threatened and decided to follow him long enough until they could get away to a safer main street.
But when they tried to execute this plan, he seemed to react with almost supernatural speed.
“We tried to turn off the first time and when we turned around he was right there saying, ‘Where are you going?'” says Angey. “So now we’re thinking, ‘How the hell — did he realize we weren’t there?’
So the couple came up with another excuseand claimed they were trying to get to the Fat Tuesday bar. They manage to get in without him, get a drink, then leave, sneaking past him while he’s on his phone.
From there they made their way to another bar. As they tried to blend in with a group of women, Angey says she turned to see this mystery man “right in our face again.”
They get away
Even after to flee to another area- this time a dance club – the duo were followed by this mysterious man. Finally, the couple decided to make a break for it and head to their hotel nearby. To throw him off their trail, they say they’re just running back to grab something and that they’ll be back soon. In reality, they were done for the evening.
When it was time to leave, the couple took a car back to the airport. On the ride, their driver asked them about their experience.
“I kind of made a little joke (about) the vampire, and he kind of looked at me like, ‘You’re kidding, but it’s true,'” says Angey.
Given all this, Angey says she may have encountered one of New Orleans’ infamous vampires.
More about New Orleans vampires
A famous vampire story loosely reminiscent of Angey’s tale is that of Jacques St. Germaine.
According to legend, St. Germain a womanizer who was known to hang around the French Quarter at night. While he also held lavish dinner parties, he never eaten some of the food that is served.
One evening the locals heard screams coming from St. Germain’s home. Later, a woman jumped from the second floor window. According to legend, she told anyone who would listen that St. Germain attacked her, grabbed her and bit her on the neck.
History says sowhen the police finally searched St. Germain’s home, they found bloodstains, wine bottles full of blood—and no evidence of St. Germain himself.
Today, locals claim that St. Germain can occasionally be seen in town looking the same age as he did when he disappeared.
Commentators are scared
In the comments section, users offered their thoughts on the idea of vampires in New Orleans.
“Where are the vampires because I’m trying to be immortal,” one user joked.
“There is a whole vampire culture in New Orleans. There are vampire balls, etc. Mother Queen-Anne Rice’s home is there. There are several vampire ‘themed’ restaurants and bars there,” said another. “If you’ve been there, you’ve been in the presence of someone who considers themselves one.”
“Vampires are definitely real – maybe not like in the movies, but vampires are real,” declared a third.
