Seriously Staked Vampire Symposium

Look beyond the Twilight and True Blood frenzy and there is, and always has been, a serious study of vampires. Seriously Staked brings together a wide variety of subject experts and academics to talk about a range of questions concerning vampires. These include:

  • Can science explain vampires?
  • Do real vampire hunting kits exist?
  • How have vampires impacted western culture?
  • What is the crossover between vampires and other anomalous phenomena?
  • Was Transylvania vampirism a communist trick to attract tourists?
  • What is the London vampire community today?
  • Do real vampires exist?

Seriously Staked is taking place at Goldsmiths College on 8 March 2014 and is co-organised by ASSAP (the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena) and the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Seriously Staked is the latest is a series of paranormal conferences organised by ASSAP, following in the footsteps of Seriously Strange and Seriously Unidentified.  ASSAP is a registered charity and learned society that has been studying the weird seriously (and the seriously weird) since 1981.

Seriously Staked promises a serious but entertaining look at the vampire phenomena.
