His journey turned into a mystery, marked by sightings of a semi-truck driving erratically and Devin's last known moments of confusion. Despite an abandoned truck with undisturbed cargo and the eerie discovery of his skull two years later, the question remains: What happened to Devin Williams in those remote woods? (The Bizarre Disappearance of Truck Driver Devin Williams) *** What do astronomers say about those who deny the moon landing really took place? The conspiracy theory gets an assist from, believe it or not, the New York Mets! (The Faked Moon Landing And The New York Mets) *** New England has a lot of great places to visit, and travel times to these locations are minimal. One of the most infamous would be Rhode Island – home to story of vampire Mercy Brown. (Vampires of Rhode Island) *** Until the Humpty Doo poltergeist outbreak of 1998, Australia's most notorious poltergeist was a very persistent, wall-bashing, stone-throwing entity known as the “Guyra Ghost” which terrorized William Bowen, his wife and three children in their tiny weatherboard cottage just outside Guyra, New South Wales in early 1921. (The Guyra Ghost) *** In 1814, London experienced one of the most bizarre disasters in British history. An unfortunate chain of events at the Horseshoe Brewery led to the death of 8 women and children as they were caught up in London's Great Beer Flood. But, what really happened? And, did Londoners really get drunk, as beer flowed past their homes in the streets, free for the taking? (The Great London Beer Flood) *** Ghost marriages in China have led to a very unsavory and deeply disturbing trade. They are called ghost marriages, because the groom is given a dead woman to marry… often forced to do so. And the stories are, understandably, horrifying. (Forced to Marry a Corpse) *** In September 1982, people wanting to get away from aches and pains from the flu or just a headache shopped store shelves for relief… and ended up dead. Their Tylenol had been laced with poison.

Por que vampiros dominam o imaginário das pessoas desde o século XVIII? Do recém-lançado filme "Nosferatu" a tratados sobre mortos-vivos em 1751, tentamos entender como nosso fascínio e nossa repulsa pelo diferente vivem encarnados nessa sedutora (e recorrente) figura do vampiro. Este é mais um episódio do Escuta Essa, podcast semanal em que Denis e Danilo trocam histórias de cair o queixo e de explodir os miolos.

A gente sempre lê mensagens no final de cada episódio! ... NESTE EPISÓDIO •⁠ ⁠"Nosferatu" (2024), de Robert Eggers, é um remake de "Nosferatu" (1922), de F.W. Murnau. •⁠ ⁠O expressionismo alemão focava mais na representação das sensações dos personagens do que na reprodução da realidade. •⁠ ⁠Florence Balcombe, viúva e agente de Bran Stoker, se recusou a vender os direitos do livro "Drácula" para o cinema. O livro só entraria em domínio público em 1962. •⁠ ⁠Petar Blagojević, que morreu na Sérvia em 1725, é o primeiro caso registrado de "vampirismo" e foi documentado por conta da burocracia necessária para exumar seu cadáver. •⁠ ⁠O "Tratado sobre a aparição de espíritos, vampiros e mortos-vivos na Hungria, Moldávia, etc." foi escrito em 1751 pelo padre católico Antoine Augustin Calmet. •⁠ ⁠Mercy Brown é o caso mais documentado de "histeria vampírica" nos Estados Unidos e está ligado a uma epidemia de tuberculose. •⁠ ⁠Gregory Bateson descreve em seu livro "Naven" a dinâmica de radicalização entre grupos com funções diferentes numa tribo de Nova Guiné. ...

Alleged vampire Mercy Brown has had her name cemented into American history by being the focal point of the New England Vampire Panic. But even now, almost 150 years after her death, the same question still arise: was Mercy ACTUALLY a vampire?

The most famous American vampire is that of nineteen-year-old Mercy Brown, who died in Exeter, Rhode Island in 1892. Her father, assisted by the family physician, removed her from her tomb two months after her death, cut out her heart, and burned it to ashes. Her community blamed her for the deaths of many family members who died from tuberculosis in the late 1800s. Like many myths and legends, Vampirism is based partly on fact. A blood disorder called porphyria, which has been with us for millennia, became prevalent among the nobility and royalty of Eastern Europe. It is an inherited blood disorder that causes the body to produce less protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues. Some of the symptoms include pigment changes in the skin. Thus, the skin becomes highly sensitive to sunlight, causing blistering, erosions, and ulcerations. Over several centuries, there have been reports and allegories of encounters with certain humans that exhibited supernatural abilities akin to the vampire legend. I will present several of these accounts, both historical and contemporary. Please feel free to comment on the accounts and let me know your opinions.

We're takin' it a bit easy this week and talking about something close to home: vampires! Specifically, the so-called "New England Vampire Panic" of the 1800s. Before vampires were sexy, they were something else entirely: the reanimated corpses of your friends and family who preyed upon the living and threatened to pull entire communities down into the grave with them. In New England, and very especially in Rhode Island, this type of vampire haunted small villages all the way until the very end of the 1800's. Meaning that even at the time of the "last New England vampire," Mercy Brown, it was played for laughs in the papers. The truth though is that the blood-sucking living dead has always represented the fears that people deal with at any given time, and the macabre rites and rituals to combat the vampires represent our species-wide drive to do something, anything, to keep the illusion of control, even when we know it's only an illusion.  If you're a fan of the show, why not fork out some of your own blood to us, metaphorically, by joining our Patreon?

Mercy Brown, Rhode Island vampire—allegedly so—is considered to be the last of the state's unfortunate focal points in its 19th century vampire panics; but like so many other supernatural superstitions we dig into, there's much more beneath the surface.  The Exeter Vampire panic is more complex, and perhaps distorted, than we've been led to believe. . .all through haze of the horror of the plague of tuberculosis.  Pre-order Laurah's book, LAY THEM TO REST: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laurah-norton/lay-them-to-rest/9780306828805/ Head to moshlife.com/STRANGE to save 20% off plus FREE shipping on your first 6-count Trial Pack!

Since their emergence in the 1400s, vampires have captivated the human imagination. Yet, the prominent figures of Vlad the Impaler and Dracula have cast long shadows over encounters with these supernatural beings, particularly in the new world. Embark on an enlightening journey as we shed new light on the peculiar pandemic that swept across the United States during the late 1800s. Join us for a fresh perspective on this mysterious phenomenon.   Special shoutout to UFO Insight for their invaluable research on this topic.

In the 1880's in Exeter, Rhode Island, one family experienced a lot of loss at once. The townsfolk grew frightened and gave in to the vampire panic at the time. In order to save Edwin Brown from what was clearly a curse, the townspeople dug up his mother, sister Mary, and sister Mercy. And thus, the legend of Mercy Brown was born.  Join Merris and Lillian as we discuss Rhode Island's most famous cryptid. Check out Tiny C Crafts here: https://www.facebook.com/Tiny.C.Crafts use code TEABAG for a discount!Tarot, merch, discord and more here: https://linktr.ee/cruelteaHave a small business you'd like us to promote?

What's that shriek in the distance? That rustle in the bushes? Those glowing eyes in the foggy woods? That slimy skin breaking the surface of the sea? It's the fifteenth installment of Do Be A Monster! Albert and Ryan have returned from a week long Monster Road Trip through the states of New England. The boys traversed the northeast and hunted a wide array of freaky monstrosities: Melon Heads in Connecticut, The Great Glawackus, The Winsted Wildman, Mercy Brown the Vampire, Pukwudgies, The Gloucester Sea Serpent, Cassie the Sea Serpent, The Pig Man of Northfield, Champy, and the Headless Horseman. They may not have eaten any healthy food the entire week, but they certainly found ways to blow their wads on postcards and tickets to Satanic and Cryptozoology museums. Plug on in and join the boys as they relive one hell of a monster journey. Next week, Don't Be An Idiom returns!

The cultural fear of vampires stretches back centuries throughout Europe, but in the continental U.S. it took seed from another fear entirely: tuberculosis. The New England Vampire Panic of the 19th-century was a reaction to a deadly disease so mysterious it needed a scapegoat. Enter: the Brown family of Exeter, Rhode Island –specifically a young daughter whose body civilians would use to justify a monster of their own making.

Deaths of entire families was occurring at an epidemic rate in New England during the beginning of the 19th century. Though much of the deaths were blamed on consumption, there were cases strangely bizarre enough that the community believed there was more going on. Newspapers of the time used the phrase 'vampire' for these deaths, likely influenced by vampire beliefs in parts of Eastern Europe. The 'New England vampires' would feed off the life force of their family members from beyond the grave psychically, rather than being conducted by walking undead creatures of the night. The resulting deaths would be the same and the effects would spread through the community creating the Vampire Panic. Some of the most famous believed of these New England Vampires include the Manchester Vampire, Nellie Vaughan, and the most famous case of American Vampirism, Mercy Brown. Today, we take a walk Within the Mist and discover the stories of the New England Vampires.

In Episode 251, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore Plain Meeting House Cemetery in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, searching for the lost grave of Nellie Vaughn. Some say she was a vampire. Others claim she was a witch. More believe her restless spirit still haunts this boneyard trying to right a wrong from decades ago. Could this be a case of mistaken identity?
