Boston.com - A school administrator wants to set the record straight: There are no vampires at Boston Latin.  The headmaster of the prestigious exam school took the unusual step today of sending a notice to faculty, students, and parents saying that "rumors involving 'vampires'" had begun spreading through the building Wednesday, causing disruption and anxiety for a number of students. "At no time was anyone's safety in jeopardy," she said. Officer Eddy Chrispin, a Boston Police spokesman, said police went to the school Wednesday after hearing that some students were spreading rumors there were vampires in the school. "I'm not sure whether [the supposed vampires] were among the student body or whether they were inhabiting the old corners and crevices of the building," he said. "We did go over there and speak to some of the students and quelled the rumors that were going and kind of told them the effect those rumors could have on the rest of the student population," he said.

You know I want to believe the school here when they say there are no vampires at Boston Latin.  I really do.  But then why send out the note?  Why bring in the cops?   It’s my experience with these things that where there is smoke there is usually fire.   So if I was a parent I’d pull my kid out of school so fast it would make your head spin.  I mean how do we know the school administrator who wrote this letter isn’t the head vampire and this is just some elaborate vampire scheme?   I mean give me a break.  You’re going to have to wake up a lot earlier in the morning to trick me into letting my kid bitten by a vampire.  It's just not going to happen on my watch.
