They come uninvited.

Purportedly true accounts of vampire encounters and supernatural entities from around the world. A paranormal podcast with James Cheney and on Substack articles on vampire pop-culture.

Not all vampires drink blood. Some drain strength, luck, or time. They appear in every culture's folklore and they don't always look like monsters. Sometimes they wear human faces.

Each episode of The Night Visitors presents a single account drawn from firsthand testimony, family histories, and witness reports — examined seriously, without spectacle. Stories from across the globe, told through narration and brought to life with original artwork.

James Cheney is a paranormal investigator and spiritual worker originally from Massachusetts, now living in Transylvania. Through the years, people have shared with him their encounters with vampiric entities — psychic vampires, folkloric beings, energy-draining presences, cursed figures, and things that take different forms across cultures. Those accounts stuck with him. This is where he shares them.
