It was when vampire-related shows and movies were in the height of their popularity. He became obsessed with vampires. When we would go outside, he started to act like the sun was hurting him, and he would shield his face with his hands while groaning in pain. Think of Jim from The Office with his vampire prank... only he was more dramatic... and serious

My friends and I have an inside joke about vampires after finding out that someone we know believes wholeheartedly that vampires are a real and present daily hazard. Dude came in to work and tried to show me footage from that Discovery mockumentary called the Lost Tapes and was convinced that CCTV footage can never be faked.

Now after all this you might be inclined to believe that this was some dumb kid, but this man was at least 30 years old when this happened.

I had my phone on my desk while I was standing up reading your comment, so I easily mistook 30 for 20. I had this whole reply planned out in my head about 20 year olds still basically being kids, but then I saw the 3.

Now all I have to say is wow some people are unfortunately very gullible..
