{"Image ImageDescription": "*** EXCLUSIVE - VIDEO AVAILABLE ***  HOUSTON, TEXAS - MAY 24: Michael Vachmiel and Blut Katzchen photographed at a fellow vampire's home in Houston, TX, on May 24, 2015.   FLORIST Blut Katzchen hides a dark secret - she allows herself to be feasted on by real-life VAMPIRES. The 28-year-old is a 'black swan,\u2019 someone who allows self proclaimed vampires to drink blood direct from her body. For more than 10 years she has travelled across the US to satisfy the bloodlust of men and women within this little known subculture. Her latest admirer is 43-year-old Michael Vachmiel from Houston, Texas, who claims her blood gives him the energy he needs to survive. The two get together a few times a year to perform the ritual.
