New England Vampire Panic

October 7, 2026 · 1 h 13 min

Show notes

New England really looked at tuberculosis and said, “We should probably dig up Grandma.” This week, we explore the New England Vampire Panic, when grieving families suspected their dead relatives were feeding on the living—and opened graves, removed hearts, and burned remains to stop them. From Mercy Brown to the fear that fueled these rituals, it’s a disturbing chapter of American history with plenty of Brohio bullshit along the way.
