If you ever want a laugh, you may know that Craigslist is a good place to go — just check out your city’s casual encounters section.

Along those lines, while looking for a local company called (I thought) VAMP, I stumbled upon the Vampire Meetups page for Roanoke.

Twenty-eight people have posted there looking to meet other… well, looking for different things. A selection:

“Hey, I’m very new to the Lynchburg area, and looking for others like me. Although sadly enough, I am not a vampire, but my girlfriend is. The thing of it is though, I am a lycanthrope, not sure how welcome that will be. Let me know.”
