The Elder Druid's have told the story of how Sol Invictus takes vengeance upon all vampires in punishment for a group of vampires violating his shrine and its supplicants during the Roman Republic.  Before that you needed to either annihilate the body or drain the blood of a vampire until it died.  Both methods still work, but sunlight is safer and easier."

Witnesses have reported missing objects, strange noises, and unexplained lights in the vicinity.\nResponse: Our team has been dispatched to the area to investigate.  We are working closely with local law enforcement and other relevant agencies to determine the nature of the incursion and to neutralize any potential threats.  We advise residents to stay indoors and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.\nStatus: The situation is ongoing.  We have set up a temporary command center in the area and are conducting a thorough investigation.  Our team is equipped with specialized equipment to detect and track interdimensional activity.  We will provide further updates as the situation develops.\nRecommendation: Based on our findings, we recommend that the area be designated as a potential hotspot for interdimensional activity.  We suggest that ongoing surveillance and monitoring be put in place to ensure the safety of local residents and to prevent any further incursions.  We also recommend that education programs be put in place to help residents understand the nature of these creatures and how to avoid potential conflicts."

Witnesses have reported seeing small, floating lights in the area around the time of the disappearances, leading us to believe that fae-class cryptids may be involved.\nResponse: Our team has launched a full investigation into the matter, working in close coordination with local law enforcement.  We have engaged significant animal based tracking resources, and are gathering intelligence from witnesses and other sources to build a comprehensive picture of the situation.\nStatus: The situation is ongoing.  At this time, we have not been able to locate the missing individuals or definitively establish the involvement of fae-class cryptids.  However, we are actively pursuing all leads and are dedicating significant resources to this investigation.\nRecommendation: Based on our findings to date, we recommend that the area be designated as a high-risk zone for fae cryptid activity.  We urge all residents to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.  Additionally, we recommend that public awareness campaigns be initiated to educate the public about the potential dangers of fae cryptids and how to avoid potential conflicts.  Our team will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses."

He'd been drinking and walking his goat late one night and as he neared the edge of the wetlands he heard strange music and multicolored lights.  He suspected one of his neighbors who's property adjoined the bog of throwing a party but after walking around the edges he couldn't figure out how to get through the various streams and ponds to get to it.  Finally at some point, he remembered stories his grandparents had told about people going missing in the bogs and decided to go home and call the police.  The police passed it on to the Border Patrol who investigated for dimensional spillage.  While they were unable to find any cryptids or artifacts at the bogs, they measured a weakness in reality that suggests that the stories might have basis in fact.  Border Patrol left emergency contact information with the local police in the event of any future incursions."

The Gemara challenges this: But how can that be?  We see that it does pounce upon two people.  The Gemara answers: That statement of Rav Pappa must be in accordance with that which Rami bar Abba said: An animal does not overpower a person until he appears to it as an animal, as it is stated: 'But man does not abide in honor, he is like the beasts that perish' (Psalms 49:13).  However, animals do not attack people who are human in their spiritual character.  In a similar vein, Rabbi Ḥanina said: It is prohibited to sleep alone in a house, and anyone who sleeps alone in a house will be seized by the evil spirit Lilith.'\n None of the victims were suffering their maladies any longer and none of them would speak further to our agents.  Does this have any relevance to the case Rosenberg was talking about?  Needs further investigation."

The one with the youngest appearance had portraits demonstrating the oldest style of dress and then as the portraits and then pictures become more modern first the woman and then the other man begin appearing.  The few features all three had in common were retractable fangs in the roof of the mouth and a mummification of all organs save the heart, which appeared to be more efficient at pumping blood.  Finally all three had significant wounds consistent with being whipped with thorny vines, though where you would find vines strong enough with thorns large enough to deal fatal wounds is unknown."

This corpse appeared to have some kind of symbiotic or parasitic bonding with a vine growing inside of the body.  It has sharp retractable thorns that pop out after the coiled vine is removed from the body.  There were scars on the body where it looked as though thorns from the vine had stitched together particularly nasty wounds.  Given the difference in how this body was buried and the distance from the cabin, we suspect that this body belonged to one of the attackers who killed the cabin inhabitants.  His companions finished the battle and then carried him away for a quiet burial."

We will need to have further investigation into this subject.  The man infested with vines however is unlike anything else we've encountered before.  Appearing to be a normal human, his body contained significant secrets.  Organs and features from both the plant and animal kingdoms not found in humans were discovered during the autopsy and review of cellular material."
