Understandably unhappy with this reversal of fortunes, Blood became an avowed enemy of the monarchy. Blood lost all his lands, and fearing reprisals, he fled to Ireland with his family. Thomas Blood prospered after the monarchy was overthrown, but unfortunately for him, the monarchy was restored in 1660, and the beheaded Charles I’s son was crowned as king Charles II. From Fighting For the Monarchy, to Becoming an Avowed Anti-Monarch Deemed insane, he was sent to a mental asylum for the rest of his life. Hoffman killed another victim, and would have kept on killing if his spree had not been cut short by his arrest. He confessed to liking her more than the graveyard corpses. After shooting them dead, he drank the blood from their wounds, then had sex with the girl’s corpse. So he decided to get the freshest corpses possible, by killing people. When that failed to make him handsome and popular, Hoffman figured it was because the corpses were not fresh enough. Other times, he chewed the corpse, and if it was of a female he found attractive, he had sex with it. He then dug up their graves to perform rituals that involved stabbing and slashing the corpse, cutting off the head, and drinking the blood. He tried getting them in the morgue, but if he could not, he waited until they were buried. He wanted the recently dead, so chose his victims from recent death notices in newspapers. Hoffman had snuck into graveyards or mortuaries at least 35 times.
