A normally quiet seaside town is awash with rumours of a vampire on the loose. Affluent Lytham St Anne's, near Blackpool in Lancashire, has been the centre of two vampire-like attacks in recent weeks — with the Dracula in question fluent in French. Police have launched an investigation after two women had their necks bitten by what appears to be the same man, the Sun reports. The first victim was a 38-year-old owner of a French delicatessen, who had been chatting in French to a man in his 30s or 40s when he trapped her and sunk his teeth into her neck. And fears grew even further when another woman was attacked in a bar on the seafront, by a man who fitted the same description.A man was questioned by police but they are continuing their investigation. Local councillor Richard Fulford-Brown told the newspaper: "Lytham has been rife with talk about vampire-style attacks. "In the pubs and clubs they were calling him Dracula or Le Fang because he speaks French to women. He must be the only Frenchman who's allergic to garlic." The man behind the bloodsucking attacks is described as well dressed and 5ft 8in tall with very dark, short hair.
