The Hunter’s Mark, Hanged Men, and the Source of Old Blood

In this episode of Bloodborne Fear the Old Lore, we take a look at what inspired the Hunter's Mark, Hanged Men, and what may be the source of the Old Blood. Special shout-out to Sophie Pilbeam (aka Jerk Sans Frontieres) and zephid7 for their work since it helped guide my thoughts related to impurity, stagnation, fluids, and layers of the dream. --- Link to my Japanese to English Retranslations of Bloodborne's text: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
