This 1892 vampire panic led a family to exhume and burn Mercy Brown's heart to stop her from rising

This 1892 vampire panic led a family to exhume and burn Mercy Brown's heart to stop her from rising.
Tuberculosis was poorly understood in the late 1800s, so Exeter, Rhode Island locals linked the wasting illness to vampiric predation. When 19-year-old Mercy Brown died of the disease, her family feared she’d turn on the rest of the household, so they dug up her grave just three months later, found her body “fresh” with blood still in her veins, cut out her heart, and burned it to stop her from rising and infecting their loved ones.
Was this a product of blind superstitious fear, or something far more unexplainable?
What do you think?
