●      ‘Hunting For The Gorbals Vampire’

In September 1954 several children in the Gorbal's neighbourhood claimed to have seen a seven foot tall, child killing, iron-teethed vampire lurking in the Southern Necropolis cemetery situated beside the Dixon Blazes Ironworks. This led to a frenzy among the local youth, with many of them arming themselves with improvised weapons and descending upon the cemetery in search of the supposed vampire.

The incident garnered significant media attention at the time, with newspapers reporting on the mass hysteria and the fear gripping the community.
