Famous Cases

In a typical year, the FVZA would receive thousands of tips on vampire and zombie activity. But seeing as how many of them turned out to be hoaxes, the initial investigation was usually carried out by phone. If the testimony was compelling enough, a team would be dispatched to gather evidence and interview witnesses. In some cases, the trail died; in others, it led to frightening encounters.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, we are making these reports available to the public for the first time. However, the reports have been edited down to contain only the most pertinent information. Still, they represent a fair cross-section of the types of reports we compiled at the Agency—some humorous, others chilling, many maddeningly inconclusive. At the bottom of each report, Dr. Pecos has included his own comments (long after the fact).
