William Wortham Pool's grave in Hollywood Cemetery
The Richmond Vampire (also called locally the Hollywood Vampire) is a recent urban legend from Richmond, Virginia.
Local residents claim that the mausoleum of W. W. Pool (Dated 1913) in Hollywood Cemetery holds the remains of a vampire. Supposedly Pool was run out of England in the 19th century for being a vampire. Oral legends to this effect were circulating by the 1960s. They may be influenced by the architecture of the tomb, which has both Masonic and ancient Egyptian elements, and double Ws looking like fangs. Because this cemetery is adjacent to Virginia Commonwealth University, the story became popular among students, especially from the 1980s onward.[1] It was first mentioned in print in the student newspaper Commonwealth Times in 1976.[2]
