Curious Cat
After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

The Strange Blood of Humans
I had an odd dream this morning. It was about blood. And unseen psychic vampires that have hunted a particular human with a specific blood type to survive, or maybe increase their genetic pool? It was unusual. Near the end of the dream, I wrote an email to David Paulides, the man behind the Missing 411 investigations, books and movies. I asked him if he’d noticed a commonality in the blood types of the people that have gone missing. Then I woke up.
And I’d never even known the word, ‘hematology’ before the dream.
Curious, isn’t it? We are a species that has multiple blood types. Some combinations can cause problems, fatal even, and a special blood type has been named ‘universal’ because it is able to be accepted by all, but that’s not true anymore thanks to a newly discovered blood type that can only donate to its own. Are we the only species on the planet that has multiple blood types? What’s the point of this adaptation? Is it evidence of us being hybrids of other species? Am I reading too much into all this? Afterall, sometimes a dream is just a dream.
Join me to learn something new about blood, rare blood diseases, forensic science, and maybe even some vampire facts and lore. I’ll also share the rarest blood type on Earth with you.
