I have a POC vampire friend who's been roaming the streets of LA for over a hundred years and he says it's awesome and a good time being immortal. I'll believe him before any of this nonsense

1. I remain ageless instead of getting some Tithonus bum deal.

2. I have some procedure in place to easily make new identities so that the government and anyone else fail to notice that I'm 467 years old instead of the age I appear to be.

3. Despite creating new identities, I'm still able to effortlessly transfer my wealth from identity to identity.

I know there's the whole "you'll see everyone you love die" thing, but I'm sure that by the death of my fifth wife, I'll get used to it and learn to just cherish the time I spend with people even more.

Add a bit of sword fighting and this would make a hell of an 80’s movie. Or maybe a remake with the Witcher bloke.

That possessed medium, Derek Acorah, said he'd make definite contact from the other side after he "passed over". He's been dead four years now and no one has heard a peep from him.
