Mercy Brown Vampire - The Restless Dead | ObsoleteOddity

In 1892, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the United States and was thus one of the era’s most feared diseases. Then known as “consumption,” its symptoms were fatigue, night sweats, and the coughing up of white phlegm or even foamy blood.

The folks in these parts were superstitious - not knowing the scientific facts behind the disease, they believed that “…some unexplained and unreasonable way in some part of the deceased family member's body, live flesh and blood might be found, which is supposed to feed on the living who are in feeble health.”

And so, when Mercy Brown's family started dying off one by one, they blamed her — even though she'd been dead for months.

Don't miss the blooper at the end! :))
