According to the Times Reporter, the documentary “Vampires in Gem City” was set to expose Dayton as having the second largest vampire coven in the United States and featured the missing person’s case of 26-year-old George Phillip Gall.
It is reported that Gall went missing on October 13, 1994 after getting off a bus near the goth-themed Asylum nightclub.
The bus driver told investigators that Gall walked toward the Asylum nightclub and was never seen again. He was declared dead by the state of Ohio in 2002.
According to Times Reporter, it wasn’t until 2008 that rumors of vampires started after a retired Dayton police officer told The Dayton Daily News that a bartender at the nightclub told him Gall was killed and beheaded for an occult ritual.
It is reported that after Gall’s disappearance in 1994, Williams went to the nightclub undercover and noticed it attracted a large “gothic, vampire-like” crowd. It was while he was undercover that a bartender confided in Williams that Gall’s head was sold inside the club.
Williams told the Dayton Daily News that the bartender gave enough intricate details to make the story believable. Williams also says that Gall’s body was placed in a storm sewer tunnel accessible inside the nightclub. Officers searched for the body but did not find any evidence of the crime, but they did find “occult markings.”
According to Times Reporter, the mystery behind Gall’s disappearance has led to the birth of an urban legend, with many Dayton residents claiming to have seen a headless man approaching them in tunnels to ask where his head was.

Do people in Dayton spend a lot of time in tunnels or something?
Tunnels are the only way to travel safely at night in Dayton due to all the vampires.
That sounds like a rumer a vampire would start to trick folks into going into the tunnels.

My understanding, after doing no research, is that Dayton is like an iceberg - the city is only the fraction that pokes through at the surface, everything else is underground from vampires in storm drains, to zombie-infested catacombs and below that great caverns full of goblins and morlocks. Probably.
I’ve been up to Wright State in the middle of winter, armed with hat, gloves and a heavy coat, once you go into the tunnels though, you will see people walking around in shorts and t-shirts. It’s actaully pretty cool (no pun intended), the students pretty much commute via the tunnels and rarely ever need to go to the surface. https://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2013/02/13/digging-into-the-history-of-wright-states-tunnels/
Obviously these tunnels don’t connect to anything off campus, so vampires would need to travel above ground in order to access them. This is probably why I’ve never seen any while visiting
I think the bartender was fucking with the police for shits and giggles.
100℅. Some straight laced, gullible “undercover” cop rolls into a goth bar and starts asking about a “vampire murder” to a bartender, someone who knows the people, maybe is the people?
If not netflix, where can i watch it?
I suspect Big Vampire is going to try and ensure this never sees the light of day (ah the irony)
Ultimately, it depends on who bought and paid for it - if it’s a Netflix original there might be nothing that can be done, if they just had the rights then someone else may. Of course, it might not be Netflix’s call - the legal department may have decided that it couldn’t be screened or it’d leave the broadcaster open to being sued. It would be a brave company who decided to roll dice on that. However, given the publicity, that’s got to make it more likely someone would take a chance on it.
