 Although never touched in on the main story, he seemed to possess somewhat clairvoyant abilities (see short stories "Transylvania Trek, and Bride of Sam Grest").He inadvertently predicted the manner in which he died, and the existence of the vampaneze Murlough when he was only nine years old.Sam appears in the manga version of the third book, "Tunnels Of Blood", in which Darren summons Sam's ghost.
