It all began around the 15th century when a man by the name of Henry Von Schmidt's obsession for grave robbing got out of control. Henry stumbled onto a grave with a pentagram etched into the tombstone and noticed writing on the tombstone. It read: "Whosoever desecrates Richard Valence III's final resting place will surely die!!" Henry laughed it off, "Hogwash! Some children probably wrote those words and made up a story so the townspeople would think the cemetery was haunted. They probably thought it would give them some kind of entertainment since there wasn't much excitement in this little town called 'Vampinstein.' “Legend has it that the town's name was changed to Vampinstein after an experiment went very wrong by a mad doctor called Dr. Lufenstein. According to one of the old townspeople, Dr. Lufenstein's experiments survived the fire. They were supposedly kept hidden in the home of a prominent Freemason and later passed down to a grand mason, to be locked in a vault in some unknown location. Henry had no idea what the ramifications of the desecration of Richard Valence III's grave would bring him. It was too late to turn back now. Henry had already dug up the grave, stole the jewels that were on the skeletal remains, and, as Henry always did, went to leave his mark by decapitating the remains with his shovel. As Henry was removing the wooden stake from the corpse for a souvenir, the remains began to twitch with life. Henry wiped his eyes in total amazement of what was happening right before his eyes, but it was too late for poor Henry. He tried to raise his shovel to decapitate the corpse, but the corpse was alive. As the shovel approached Richard's neck, he knocked it out of Henrys hand raised up and grabbed Henry by the head. He twisted poor Henry's head right off of his shoulders. Richard Valence III was very much alive and ready to kill anything that got in his path.
