1913 on top of tomb∼The legendary Richmond vampire. In 1925 there was a massive railroad tunnel collapse on Church Hill that buried several people alive. It was reported that a creature soon emerged from the tunnel covered in blood with flesh hanging from his frame. It was pursued to Hollywood Cemetery where it took refuge in the tomb of W.W.Poole, an accountant who died in 1922. Over time it became a ritual for occultists to annually gather there on Halloween. Variations of the story grew into legend and it has become to be that W.W.Poole is a vampire that haunts Hollywood. We were told he only comes out when there is no moon.
On 6 May 1861, 19 year old Willie Poole, volunteered for the Confederate States Army. He entered as a private at Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. He served Captain W.J. Proby of the Franklin Rifles, Company A, Seventh Regiment of Mississippi Volunteers. He became ill while on furlough and was issued a Certificate of Sickness on 1 November 1861. He remained on the role through 28 September 1862, after which there is no more record.
