Netflix has seemingly decided to scrap a documentary about a man who disappeared almost 30 years ago under mysterious circumstances.

The streaming platform had been working with director Joshua Rofé on new series Vampire In Gem City inspired by the real life disappearance of George Phillip Gall and how a vampire coven could have been involved.

In 1994, Gall disappeared shortly after getting off a bus in Dayton, Ohio after he was last seen walking in the direction of the Asylum nightclub.

What happened next is still unknown, as the case went cold and Gall was declared deceased, as reported by WTRF.com

However, in 2008 retired police lieutenant David Williams claimed a bartender at the club told him Gall had been involved in an ‘occult ritual’.

The former officer, described by the Daily Express US as a ‘nationally recognised expert on the occult and gangs’, was working undercover at the bar.

It’s alleged that the apparent ritual involved Gall being ‘beheaded’, with his head ‘sold as a relic for the occultist involved’.

Williams alleged that the venue pulled in a ‘gothic, vampire-like’ crowd, which then sparked rumours that Dayton was the site of the ‘second-largest coven of vampires’.

This was to be the subject of the planned documentary, which looked to tell Gall’s story after ‘went missing’.

The official logline read: ‘For the last 30 years, Dayton, Ohio has been home to the largest coven of vampires outside of New Orleans.

‘When a man goes missing in the goth nightclub they use as their headquarters, the case goes cold until a police officer comes forward in 2008 with a story.’

However, Netflix appears to have ditched the idea, with Gall’s widow Helen Gall and his uncle Dan Phelan recently claiming producers emailed them to say it wasn’t going ahead.

Phelan said the family started working with the production team in 2021 on the programme, with Helen hoping the series would shed a light on her husband’s case.

She told the Columbus Dispatch: ‘I was hoping they would air it so people know what has happened to my husband so we could get the word out there. I need answers as to why they did this.’

Phelan added: ‘Any way we can shine light on the issue would be positive.’
