The Mercy Brown Vampire Panic – When New England Burned Hearts for Medicine (EXORCISTA)

In 1892, Rhode Island townspeople opened Mercy Brown's grave, found fresh blood in her corpse, and performed a ritual straight from medieval folklore. They burned her heart and made her tuberculosis-stricken brother drink the ashes. This wasn't superstition—it was their only hope against a disease killing entire families.

Victoria Unikel examines the desperation that drove educated Americans to vampire remedies, the science that explains preserved winter corpses, and why Mercy became "New England's Last Vampire." No fiction needed—the truth is darker.
