Huge Vampire Coven in Ohio Gets Netflix Documentary
Netflix is about to drop a documentary that might show the world that Ohio is more creepy than we thought. And that is saying something. Joshua Rofé, who directed the 2021 Bob Ross doc has now set his sights on a murder mystery that took place in 1994 at a Goth club in Dayton, Ohio. This documentary titled "Vampires in Gem City" allegedly uncovers a vampire coven that's so large that it's only second to New Orleans. Ohio resident and TikToker with nearly 250,000 followers, Brittanstein says that it's not surprising that Ohio is fascinated with the dark side since this relatively small state has far more haunted attractions than any other state in the country.

4 Reasons to Take a Day Trip to the Dayton Art Institute
I love art. While I am a novice when it comes to appreciating or understanding art, I know what I like, and when I am…. I love art. While I am a novice when it comes to appreciating or understanding art, I know what I like, and when I am drawn to a piece I can spend an endless amount of time taking it in, enjoying the colors, and wondering about what the mind of the artist must have been like when he was creating his masterpiece.
