The Vampyre Crypt( alleged)
Vampire crypt
Set in a silent hill of Erie Cemetery, one mausoleum's stonework is stained black. Some might call it oxidation, a natural process. Others see it as an omen of its terrible secrets.
This is the only mausoleum in the 14 City block cemetery that is set into a hill. There is no telling how large the crypt actually is.
There is no writing of any kind. No name or dates adorn the Mausoleum. Only a rather odd carving above the door. Above the gated door is a carved symbol that some claim looks like a "V" with wings while others see a flower with two leaves.
"It could be Satan. It could be witchcraft. It could be that vampires live inside,"
Little is known about the mausoleum -- the only one in the cemetery to have so few documented records. Even though Erie is a public cemetery, whose records are open to the public. The records for this mausoleum are not.
Legend has it that the crypt was broken into and looted at least once. It's also rumored that the burglar soon suffered a horrible fate. Its doors are now gated and locked.
