NEW YORK — Psychiatrists have identified a bizarre mental disorder that causes people to believe they’re NOT being watched and monitored by the government.
Victims of the syndrome – known as Surveillance Denial Disorder– suffer from the delusion that their emails, Internet searches, texts and phone calls are completely private. And they refuse to acknowledge the hundreds of pubic cameras capturing their every move.
“This goes far beyond normal naivety,” explains Dr. Byron Virolosky, a leading psychiatrist. “It is as if these individuals believe they are invisible to the government. When confronted with concrete evidence that someone is always watching them, they will make irrational statements such as ‘That’s ridiculous, we live in America’ or “This is a free country.’”
Roger H., 45, a fiction writer, first began exhibiting symptoms of the peculiar condition in February 2015.
“The patient’s wife reports that one morning he did a Google search for ‘cross-country skiing,’ and an hour later, noticed that ads for cross-country skis started popping up on his Facebook page. He told her, ‘Wasn’t that an odd coincidence?’ At first she thought he was joking, but he wasn’t.”
Over the succeeding months, the father of two showed increasingly disturbing signs that he couldn’t perceive even the most blatant signs of corporate and government spying.
The straw that broke the camel’s came last August, when the author was researching a spy novel — and conducted an Internet search with the keywords “How Build Dirty Bomb.” His wife asked him if he wasn’t worried that the peculiar search might cause government agents to suspect he was a terrorist.
“Roger looked at her with a puzzled expression, and asked, ‘How would anyone know?’” revealed the expert.
That’s when Roger’s wife knew she had to get him the professional help he so desperately needed.
“She realized his behavior was putting himself and the family at risk,” the psychiatric noted. “What if the search had triggered an armed Homeland Security raid on the house?”
CAMERAS in public locations help ensure public safety.
Fortunately the mental illness responds to a cocktail of psychiatric drugs, combined with weekly therapy sessions.
“Roger is thinking much more clearly now, he’s returned to reality,” the shrink said.
Exoerts say the condition is similar to pronoia, or reverse-paranoia, in which patients believe everyone in the world is conspiring to make their lives better.
“In both cases, people see the world through rose-colored glasses,” Dr. Virolosky said.
MANY years ago, believing you were being watched by government agents was considered a sign of insanity. Now it’s just the reverse!

God hears all prayers – but don’t hold your breath waiting for a reply. Astrophysicists estimate that it takes a mindboggling 2,600 years for your urgent pleas to reach Heaven!
“It is the consensus of experts that the physical location of Heaven is most likely at the center of the galaxy, roughly 26,000 light years from Earth, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius,” explains theoretical physicist Dr. Kyle Underbrick.
“That means it would take a beam of light 26,000 years to travel from Earth to Heaven. It’s a cardinal rule of science that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. But even if one assumes, as we have, that prayer can travel ten times faster than light – far faster than biologists have clocked thoughts moving through the human brain – that means a prayer uttered on Earth would take 2,600 years to reach God’s home.
“If you pray for a cure for your sick mom today, the message will reach the Lord circa 4615 AD.”
The surprising calculation arrived at by a joint team of European and U.S. astrophysicists has been confirmed by computer models. But Bible scholars say the findings are no reason to despair in a time of need.
“Remember, God is omniscient,” notes the Reverend Owen Nevistown. “If you are on the deck of burning ship, He is well aware of it, whether you’ve dropped to your knees to pray or not. And He will see that your life is spared, unless of course your survival is not part of the Divine Plan.”
DEVOUTLY religious leaders like Sen. Ted Cruz believe that prayer is an effective tool.

The tables turn on an identity thief in the latest thriller by C. Michael Forsyth.
ST. LOUIS — When Missouri farmer Hasgood Welch saw a raggedly dressed figure with mottled flesh shambling toward him across his soybean field, he didn’t hesitate to put a bullet in its forehead with his .30 caliber rifle. But this turned out to be a tragic error because the creature was actually an ordinary man wearing zombie makeup!
The 48-year-old victim assumed the bizarre disguise deliberately so his miserable life could be ended, in a widening trend that concerned officials have dubbed “suicide by zombie hunter.”
“The typical case is that of a white male 40 to 55 who feels he is living a life of quiet desperation,” explained Dr. Leona Sigley, a leading psychologist. “He may be languishing in a job he hates, have been married to the same woman for 30 years. He’s come to the conclusion, ‘Don’t wait until the zombie apocalypse. Just shoot me in the head now.’”
In years gone by, depressed people sometimes rushed police officers in what was known as “suicide by cop.” That method has become less effective in recent times, as lawmen become increasingly reluctant to shoot citizens, thanks to what’s been dubbed the Ferguson Effect.
The victim in the Missouri case became despondent after his wife dragged him to a social event billed as Grown Grown Folks Night, where the minimum age for entry was 30, the music ranged from 1960s to 1980s, and the club “hotties” were more likely to wear frumpy, flowery frocks than miniskirts.
“It was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” revealed a family member. “He told me, ‘It’s like that song, ‘Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.’ One of his few pleasures in life was to watch The Walking Dead on TV. I guess that’s what gave him the idea.”
Welch, 64, who says he carries the weapon for protection against criminals, Syrian refugees and rabid coyotes, was devastated to learn that he’d shot a living human.
“If I’d known the feller wasn’t a zombie, I would never have pulled the trigger,” he said.

Unlike TV’s Angel, portrayed by actor David Boreanaz, most real vampires wouldn’t be caught undead in black clothing.
By C. Michael Forsyth
If you think that vampires are repelled by garlic and lurk through the streets in black leather duds, you’re dead wrong. Contrary to popular belief, bloodsuckers are not allergic to garlic and in fact love to season their food with the pungent herb, a top expert says.
“As anyone familiar with Anne Rice novels knows, Paris is the center of vampire society—and garlic is an essential ingredient in French cuisine,” reveals researcher Lorraine Previlsky, who has spent the last two decades studying real-life nosferatu.
“Traditional French dishes such as Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic, and Escargot à la Bourguignonne Snails in Garlic-Herb Butter are as indispensable a part of a vampire’s diet as blood. If you have the misfortune to feel the cold breath of a vampire on your neck, you can be sure it will be accompanied by the potent smell of garlic.”
YUMMY garlic bread is one of many foods enjoyed by vampires.
Among vamps born and bred in the U.S.A., the herb is just as popular, sprinkled on pizza or in garlic mashed potatoes.
The myth that vampires dress in black like Angel and Spike in TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer also has no basis in fact, according to the expert.
“If you were condemned to dwell in the shadows and walk only at night, you too would hate to wear black,” she said. “Real vampires prefer cheerful colors such as lemon green, fuchsia, pumpkin orange and bumble bee yellow. Anyone who strolls into a vampire bar in black clothing would be instantly pegged as a wannabe.”
The preference for brilliant hues dates back centuries.
DANDIES like this 18th century fop held onto their preference for bright colors after being vampirized.
“Bear in mind, the height of the vampire epidemic was the 18th century, when flamboyant European dandies and fops strutted around like peacocks in gay, frilly attire with lots of bright colors,” the expert explained. “Men and women who crossed over in those days have of course modified their clothing choices to blend into modern society, but their basic fashion sense remains the same. The only vampire you’ll run into in a dark alley who’s wearing a dark leather jacket is a ‘greaser’ who was converted back in the 1950s.”

LAP-UP-YOUR-BLOOD DANCE ANYONE? Curvaceous Salma Hayek, as stripper Satánico Pandemónium, entertains George Clooney and his drinking buddies, shortly before she turns into blood-slurping monster, in “From Dusk Till Dawn.”
By C. Michael Forsyth
LOS ANGELES — Watch out, fellas – or your next lap dance could be your last. Experts warn that scores of strip clubs are host to bloodthirsty vampire covens!
Researchers say that as many as 74 gentlemen’s clubs nationwide are infested with vampires, many of them entirely staffed by the undead fiends.
“Most exotic dancers are interested only in draining patrons dry of cash,” says researcher Tim Hegelerbaum. “But these creatures are bent on obtaining a more ‘liquid’ asset.”
Vampire strippers have been a Hollywood staple for years, with the industry churning out movies like “Vamp,” (1986) “From Dusk Till Dawn” (1996) and the grade-D sexploitation flick “G-String Vampire” (2006). And experts say that in this case, movie-makers got it right.
“The screenwriters of these films undoubtedly did their share of hands-on research at lap dance emporiums,” explains L.A.-based Hegelerbaum. “But I’m told they diligently explored their subject in the library as well. And they could not have failed to unearth a true-life case that occurred in Philadelphia in 1974.
“Police raided a strip club and discovered seven unoccupied coffins in a back room. When they attempted to arrest the half-naked dancers, a brawl ensued in which several officers were flung about ‘like paper dolls,’ according to a newspaper report. The strippers fled into the night and were never seen again.”
Stripping is a career that fits vampires like a glove, experts explain. The hours are good, with business conducted almost exclusively at night. Pickings are easy; prey can be feasted upon in secluded VIP lounges. And victims have rarely told their wives, girlfriends or employers where they were going.
Here, according to researchers, are 10 warning signs that your favorite topless watering hole is one of these dens of death:
1. You feel “drained” after a visit to the VIP room with one of the busty beauties.
2. Unlike many strippers and prostitutes, none of the dancers wear crucifixes.
3. The club does not have a “day shift” at all, but opens only after sunset.
4. The girl giving you a lap dance displays psychic gifts such as the ability to read minds, perhaps slipping up and addressing you by your real name when you’ve given her a phony one.
5. Seemingly youthful dancers use antiquated slang, for example saying that they fear a raid from “the fuzz’ or even more alarming, “the coppers.”
6. Dancers are extremely aggressive in cajoling you to accompany them to the VIP room – almost as if hungering for the up-close-and-personal contact.
7. Regular patrons appear pale, in fact progressively so over a period of weeks, until they abruptly cease to show up.
8. Dancers wear heavy makeup, either to disguise ultra-white skin before a feeding or a peculiar ruddy complexion after fattening up on human blood.
9. Entire bachelor parties vanish into back rooms with dancers – and never emerge.
10. Although the “good angel” on your shoulder urgently warns you to stay away and you grow weaker after every visit, you feel an irresistible urge to return to the strip joint again and again – as if being drawn to your doom by the more powerful wills of the lethal ladies within.

CUTE little Mittens may be secretly slurping your blood.
By C. Michael Forsyth
Warning: Your precious house cat may be a vampire that sneaks into your bedroom each night to lap your blood!
Sanguinem nobiscum, the parasite associated with vampirism in humans, can be transmitted from people to felines and vice versa, much like the better known toxoplasma gondii, experts say.
“The parasite rewires the brain, creating an irresistible hunger for blood,” says veterinary infectious-disease specialist Dr. Nora Kelwick. “Most pet owners are unaware of the change. Their cat slinks into the room of a family member – frequently a child – and feeds. The pinprick-sized holes it leaves are no more noticeable than mosquito bites, and the victim is aware of nothing besides increased grogginess in the morning, and perhaps a slight dizziness.”
Vampiric felines have been reported since the earliest accounts of human vampires and blood-drinking demons in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Cults devoted to the worship of the Cat Goddess flourished up until 3rd century Rome, with human sacrifice quite common. In the Middle Ages, cats were feared as familiars of witches, due principally to their habit of preying on sleeping peasants. The ability of vampire cats to survive seemingly fatal accidents such as falls from tremendous heights, drowning or being run over by wagons gave rise to the superstition that cats have “nine lives.”
Here, from the expert, are nine warning signs that your beloved pet has joined the ranks of the undead:
1) Sleeps or is listless during the day, but is active at night, much like a human vampire.
2) Stares at you for no apparent reason, as if trying to lull you into a hypnotic trance.
3) Normally an indoor cat, now attempts to slip out to hunt for victims.
4) Severe allergic reaction to garlic.
5) Shuns sunlight.
6) Visiting children – more sensitive to the supernatural – are apprehensive around it.
7) Won’t cross running water.
8) Recoils and flees when a crucifix is thrust in its face.
9) Begins to smoke when sprayed with holy water.
While roving packs of feral vampire cats have been known to prey on the homeless in some large cities – especially St. Louis – the main danger is of infecting humans.
“Spores from the parasite can be transmitted by the cat’s bite, creating a risk of conversion, especially among persons with weak immune systems,” cautions Dr. Kelwick. “If you suspect your cat is a vampire, consult a vet immediately.”

Word to the wise: If a guy who looks like this knocks on your door, don’t let him in.
By C. Michael Forsyth
CHOCHOLOW, Poland – Residents of this remote rural village have fought a losing battle with vampires for generations. But they’ve finally hit upon a solution to their woes: they stopped giving bloodsuckers permission to enter their homes!
At least 420 people had been killed by vampires and scores of others forcibly “converted” since the vampire plague erupted in 1879, according to church records. But since early November, when citizens wised up and stopped giving vampires the okay to come in, the killings have dwindled down to zero.
“It simply never occurred to any of us before,” says town councilman Dominik Wozniak. “We all feel a little foolish now. I suppose as word spreads, we’ll be the laughingstock of Eastern Europe.”
According to most serious texts on vampires, the creatures can only enter a home after having been invited in by the owner. In most communities around the world, people began to refuse admittance to vampires centuries ago.
“That is why vampires are virtually extinct throughout the globe, even in the third world,” explains expert Donald Floodgut of the London Institute for Paranormal Studies. ”Their blood supply ran out and they starved.”
The problem in isolated Chocholow is that only a handful of the roughly 1,135 villagers are literate.
“Also, few people own DVD players and those that do are generally too devout to watch horror films,” says the researcher. “There was no way for them to find out about the old don’t-let-them-in trick.”
Eight years ago, the beleaguered villagers dug up some pamphlets on vampire-fighting that had been sent by the Vatican in the 1930s. They turned them over to the most educated man in the village, housepainter and poet Aleksander Gorski, and begged him to scour them for anything that could aid them in the war on vampires. He now admits he didn’t give the vampire material his full attention.
“I prefer to devote myself to classics of literature by authors like Tolstoy, Proust and James Joyce, and to the writings of the great existentialist philosophers,” explains Gorski, 38.
“The vampire booklets didn’t seem very challenging to me, so I gave them a quick once-over. Obviously, I must have missed the part about not letting vampires in.”
This past October, councilman Wozniak paid a rare visit to Krakow to settle the estate of a distant relative. On Halloween night, he caught a midnight showing of a Swedish movie titled “Let the Right One In,” in which a girl vampire enters a home without securing the owner’s permission and immediately begins to self-destruct.
“When I got back home, I asked Aleksander to take another look at the old books to see if there could be any truth to such a thing,” recalls Wozniak. “He said he didn’t think so, but I cajoled him until he put on his glasses and started thumbing through one of the booklets. Sure enough, he found a page that talked all about not inviting vampires in.”
Wozniak hastily called for a meeting of the village council, which imposed a set of new rules.
A strict 6 p.m. curfew was put in place, and “no vampires allowed” signs have been posted on every front door, including the local hotel. No one is allowed to admit visitors after sundown.
“You can usually tell who the vampires are from their pale faces and their sharp, long teeth, but just to be on the safe side, we tell people not to let anyone in,” says Wozniak.
“It seems to be working — we’re keeping our fingers crossed.”
Researcher Floodgut predicts that within six to 10 weeks, the vampires of Chocholow will be history.
“Vampires are like fruit flies,” he reveals. “Cut off their food supply and they quickly disappear.”
What the people of Chocholow lack in education, they make up for in bravery. During the decades since the first recorded vampire attack in April 1879, they have valiantly battled the legions of the undead.
“Our young men would arm themselves with wooden stakes and crossbows and there were pitch battles in the streets between vampires and humans,” says Wozniak. “Sometimes in a single night we would lose a dozen fighters.
“If only we had known we could simply stay at home and lock the doors.”
When vampires got the upper hand in these fights, the gutsy humans would barricade themselves in a building and make a last stand.
“We would always give the same defiant shout, ‘Chodz!!’ and brace ourselves for the vampire onslaught,” remembers Wozniak, 48.
“It’s a Polish phrase similar to your ‘Bring it on,’ but it literally means, ‘Come on in.’ In retrospect, we would have been better off shouting something like ‘Go away, vampires!’”
Shopkeeper Cyprian Tomaszewski says that for weeks his family had been terrorized by a vampire who fed from his 21-year-old daughter nightly.
“Each night he would appear at the back door and demand to visit my daughter Agata’s bedside,” says Tomaszewski, 54. “I knew that it was only a matter of days before she would die and join the ranks of the undead. But the monster said that if I resisted, he would take my other five children and my wife as well.”
When the shopkeeper learned of the vampire-busting “secret weapon” at the council meeting, he was overjoyed. The next night, when the vampire knocked on the door, Tomaszewski told the fiend – once a local baker named Bronislaw – that he couldn’t come in.
“The look on his face was priceless,” Tomaszewski recalls with a satisfied smile. “He looked like a little boy who’d been told he wasn’t getting any toys for Christmas.
“He said, ‘Excuse me?’ And I repeated myself.
“Bronislaw said, ‘You’ll be sorry,’ and stormed off in a huff.
“About 20 minutes later he showed back up wearing a greasy, black, shoe-polish mustache and claimed to be a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. But I wasn’t buying it. I told him to get lost and he slunk off sadly into the darkness.
“I hear Bronislaw tried the same thing at two or three other houses on our street before he gave up.”
Residents are ecstatic that the long nights of terror appear to be over, but anger remains. Many feel that generations of village intellectuals let them down.
Aleksander Gorski had become a local hero in 2003 when one of his poems was published in an anthology of promising young Polish poets. Hundreds of villagers proudly displayed copies of the book in their homes, even though they were unable to read. But now that it’s known that Gorski overlooked the simple solution to the vampire problem for years, he’s gone from hero to zero. There’s talk of gathering every copy of the book in town and burning them in a bonfire.
“It’s not fair,” Gorski moans. “I never claimed I was an authority on fighting monsters.”

CONTROVERSIAL HeartGuardian guarantees wearers a safe day’s sleep.
By C. Michael Forsyth
SAN ANTONIO — A leading manufacturer of tactical body armor has come under fire for introducing the world’s first stake-proof vest!
The lightweight, 1-1/2 inch-thick HeartGuardian, which fits comfortably under a cape, is designed to protect the wearer from an 18-inch oak stake pounded into the chest with 150 newtons of force, according to a press release from LiveSafe Industries.
“The work of a vampire slayer is hazardous enough already,” blasts Hans Gutlienberg of the International Association of Vampire Hunters. “To deliberately make these fiends invulnerable is beyond irresponsible. This is corporate greed at its worst.”
In centuries past, blood-drinkers have used bulky metal armor, chain mail and other protective gear to try to ward off would-be Van Helsings, with limited success. But HeartGuardian boasts state-of-the-art technology that makes the garment far more effective. The vest is made of multiple layers of para-aramid fibers interwoven with ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene. A ceramic plate reinforced with titanium lies directly over the heart, impenetrable even to an arrow fired by a high-powered crossbow.
The manufacturer insists the product is not necessarily for use by vampires.
“Anyone could be killed by a sharpened stake through the heart,” a LiveSave spokesman pointed out.
But the company’s own publicity materials leave little doubt about the target market. An ad in a popular vampire lifestyle magazine, Nyte Creatures, says “Now you can really rest in peace.”
UNPROTECTED vampire in the movie “Horror of Dracula” could have used new stake-proof vest.

BRASOV, Romania – In a brazen midnight raid, scores of vampires overran the Pleasant Valley Naturist Resort and feasted on the blood of the helpless, naked residents!
According to European wire services, the savage, well-coordinated attack left 14 people dead and dozens more in critical condition.
“Eight of us were soaking in the hot tub, when these vicious, hissing creatures came crashing through the window,” shaken survivor Andrei Grigorescu, 52, was quoted as saying. “They dragged the other bathers out kicking and screaming and sank their fangs into them. I was spared only because I weigh 340 pounds and was a bit too heavy for them to lift.”
Massage therapist Madalina Albescu, 23, required an emergency transfusion of 8 pints of blood, as well as treatment for 11 bite wounds on her neck, legs, breasts and buttocks.
“It was absolutely horrifying,” she said. “Two of them chased me across the volleyball court and tackled me like a pair of linebackers. They sucked my blood until I passed out. The doctors told me I was drained nearly dry.”
The nudist colony, in operation since 1973, sits at the foothills of the Faragas Mountains. Authorities had long suspected that the gloomy hill country harbored a nest of vampires and had even posted warning signs to that effect along the winding roads. But until the terrifying blitz, few at the resort paid any heed to the words of caution. Now police say it is likely that vampire scouts conducted surveillance missions in the weeks preceding the raid.
“My wife and some of the other ladies reported that sometimes they sensed that they were being watched, but we just attributed it to lads from the local high school,” revealed Claudiu Dumitrescu, the 61-year-old director of the bottom-baring establishment.
Despite the horrific nature of the tragedy, some residents of the conservative, deeply religious community near the resort show surprisingly little sympathy for the victims. They claim that the nudists’ freewheeling “hedonistic” lifestyle and lack of commonsense safety gear such as crucifixes and high collars made them easy targets for the bloodsuckers.
“Perhaps now they will confine their shameful display of their naked bodies to nude beaches – where there is plenty of sunlight,” said one elderly villager, who asked that her name not be used.

LUCKY TO BE ALIVE: Captives of vampire cult were called “blood cows.”
AUTHORITIES in Belgium have smashed a vampire ring and rescued six “blood cows” from an underground dungeon outside Brussels, according to published reports.
The female captives, aged 19 to 23, had been regularly drained of blood over a period of at least seven months, say police who found them pale, listless and chained to cots.
Cops, acting on a tip, raided the estate of wealthy businessman Robbe Driessen on April 21, and were stunned to find the victims in a secret room in the basement.
“They were naked except for tattered underwear,” Deputy Inspector Matthias Klerkse was quoted as saying a European wire service report. “Their bodies were covered with multiple sets of tiny punctures, especially on their wrists, thighs, throats and bosoms. They were all white as sheets and their skin was cold to the touch.”
The sprawling, 60-room mansion was the meeting place for a secret society called the Brahmin Club, authorities say. Although involved in charitable activities and patronage of the arts, its wealthy members appear to have been chiefly interested in drinking human blood. Members reputedly believe that doing so would keep them eternally young. And in at least once case, this seems to have been at least partially correct. When arrested, Driessen gave his age as 108, while in his mug shots he looks no older than 40.
“At the time he was taken into custody, Mr. Driessen produced a birth certificate that seems to support this claim of advanced age, but we of course assume it was doctored,” the lawman said. “We hope to establish his actual date of birth, but right now other matters have a higher priority in our investigation.”
The women, whose names have not been released, are all Russian and were lured to Belgium by promises of decent work as maids, au pairs, and prostitutes, police say. Instead, as soon as they arrived, they were imprisoned and subjected to daily “feeding” sessions. Chillingly, they told authorities, their captors referred to them as “blood cows.”
Driessen is CEO of the country’s largest manufacturer of waffle irons. He, along with 12 other members of the secret society, faces a battery of charges including human trafficking, false imprisonment and assault. But the blood-slurping fat cat’s attorney insists his client is being railroaded.
“The club – which has been inaccurately described as a ‘coven’ and sensationalized in the press – is a religious organization and its members are being persecuted for their unpopular beliefs,” the lawyer said at a press conference. He went on to claim that the young women were “essentially groupies” of the self-proclaimed vampires and willingly donated their blood. “When all the facts come out, the public will see that these so-called ‘victims’ were well-treated guests of Mr. Dreissen.”
