The New England Vampire Panic wasn’t over yet.
In 1892, nineteen-year-old Mercy Lena Brown died oftuberculosis in Exeter, Rhode Island. Less than two months later, her body was examined for signs that she was somehow consuming the life of her dying brother, Edwin.
And what they found inside her heart convinced some of thepeople standing there that they had found exactly what they were looking for.
In Part 2 of our deep dive into the New England VampirePanic, Casey and Dave dig into the Mercy Brown incident: why her body was so well preserved, how blood can remain in a heart after death, why her heart and liver were burned, and whether Edwin actually drank his sister’s ashes.
We also investigate the claim that Mercy Brown inspired BramStoker’s Dracula, meet a Rhode Island “vampire” who probably wasn’t one at all, examine archaeological evidence of an alleged anti-vampire burial, and ask why these rituals survived long after doctors knew tuberculosis was aninfectious disease.
Was Mercy Brown really New England’s last vampire?
Not exactly.
But the true story may be stranger than the legend.
Because sometimes history, medicine, folklore—and oneextremely unfortunate corpse—come together in a way; That's Kinda Paranormal
