This episode we chat best summer beers, the Smile 2 trailer drop, and one of the most notorious supernatural moments in early American history, the New England vampire panic. 

Unearth the chilling truths that lurk in the shadows of history as we recount the New England Vampire Panic, where the dread of disease transformed into a fear of the undead. Together with expert folklorists Michael Bell and Paul Barber, we uncover how 18th and 19th-century communities were ensnared in a web of superstition, leading them to disturb the eternal rest of their dearly departed. This is not mere fiction; it's a stark revelation of the lengths to which fear can drive humanity, a journey through an era where tuberculosis's pall cast a much more sinister specter across the New England countryside.Gather 'round as we share the poignant account of Mercy Brown, a symbol of an epidemic's grip on the human psyche, and how her community's desperate acts may have sparked the imagination of none other than Bram Stoker. The tenebrous practices of the past, designed to protect the living from the clutches of those thought to feast upon them from beyond the grave, are brought to light, painting a vivid picture of the battle between an invisible killer and the visceral response it provoked. Join us for this excursion into a time when the fear of the unknown fanned the flames of dark folklore, and discover how the vampire myth we know today is deeply rooted in the misfortunes of a bygone era.Support the Show.

This week on Gloom and Bloom podcast Tayler tell us the story of the Rendlesham Forest incident aka Britain's Roswell. Christine covers the New England Vampire Panic from the 18OO's. Watch out for UFO's and for your dead loved ones who want to suck our soul out from beyond the grave. mwahahaha. Spank you for listening. Do less God bless. Gloom & Bloom out!

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? Unlike the vampire, we'll actually give you something in return: our bonus series The Corkboard Bizarre and access to our patron Discord server.

For roughly a century in isolated corners of New England the remains of those who died of consumption were exhumed and their remains used as a folk remedy for their relatives, who the population believed were being slowly drained of life by their dead relations. Were these individuals really vampires? Today I examine these fascinating cases and examine the history of this bizarre tradition.tombwithaviewpodcast@gmail.comFacebookInstagram

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.

The New England vampire panic was the reaction to an outbreak of tuberculosis in the 19th century throughout Rhode Island, eastern Connecticut, southern Massachusetts, Vermont, and other areas of the New England states.[1] Consumption (tuberculosis) was thought to be caused by the deceased consuming the life of their surviving relatives.[2] Bodies were exhumed and internal organs ritually burned to stop the "vampire" from attacking the local population and to prevent the spread of the disease. Notable cases provoked national attention and comment, such as those of Mercy Brown in Rhode Island and Frederick Ransom in Vermont. Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

This week, Hailee is bewitched by the New England Vampire Panic. During the later part of the 18th and 19th centuries, large amounts of people were dying from what they called consumption, what we know of today as Tuberculosis. In New England, they had a different idea about what was causing their friends and loved ones to waste away in front of their eyes: vampires. Though they never used the exact term, they thought that the undead were preying upon the living and they had some very interesting methods to stop the attacks.Links:The Great New England Vampire Panic - Smithsonian MagazineBelief in Connecticut VampiresThe New England Vampire PanicThe Strange History of the New England Vampire PanicRecommendations:MediaLore - Season 1 Episode 1: They Made a TonicAsk A Mortician - America's Forgotten Vampire PanicNon-FictionMichael E.

Today Alaina decided to take it to a vampiric place. During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries New England was struggling with severe outbreaks of Consumption.  To better explain this plague that caused severe pain, bloody hacking coughs and the victim to seemingly waste away without explanation, they turned to the supernatural. When entire families began falling victim to its brutal clutches, it simply had to be vampires who had taken host in their loved ones ailing bodies to suck the life from the remaining members. Come on in for a dive into a world where eating the ashes of an exhumed family member's decomposing heart was considered medicine.

In the late 1800s New England, a tuberculosis outbreak killed almost a quarter of the population. While the medical community wasn't yet aware of the disease or how to treat it, some turned to religion for relief, and some had .... other ideas. As the disease consumed people's bodies, some thought the cause was vampires rising from the dead to feed on the living. Stopping them involved exhuming bodies and destroying them ... or worse. In this episode, we'll talk about New England vampire panic, and discuss the death and aftermath of a young woman named Mercy Brown, whose story would spread around the world. 

Note: This was recorded pre-Olympic opening ceremony. We probably should have said that…In this episode, Katie and Cindy explore the topic, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy.” Katie shares the history of rabies and Cindy shares the story of the New England Vampire.Cindy also shares a short story of her favorite Olympic event of all time, the 1904 Marathon. 

Oh, 1800's New England. With your tea parties and lifespan of 19, and your murder-y witch trials...you learned so much from Salem. Welll....you didn't. At all. The New England Vampire Panic, let's sink our teeth into it. Get it? Sorry. Creepy crawl with me...

Vampires lurk throughout popular culture, appearing on television in “True Blood” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” as well as Twilight books, and even the character “The Count” on Sesame Street. But long before Buffy was protecting humankind, a public hysteria gripped several New England states in the late 19th century. Roughly two hundred years after the Salem witch trials, locals were on high alert as they believed vampires were in their midst. In fact, roughly 80 of these disturbed vampire graves are documented, but it is believed there are hundreds more. What caused people to come to the conclusion that their dead relatives were returning to suck the life out of them? Let's find out.

Like the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s, the New England Vampire Panic of the 1800s was a time of tremendous death as well as the perfect "breeding" ground for peasant superstitions. Colonial New Englanders came to believe that the ravaging disease "consumption" (which we know today as tuberculosis) was caused not by a bacterial contagion, but by real flesh and blood vampires literally consuming the still living members of a family. And this consumption of their vitality was taking place from beyond the grave. The accounts of vampirism in New England would take place before famous works such as Dracula, Nosferatu and in more contemporary times, that of Max Schreck. But were the vampires of New England simply a literary or cinematic motif, like we see with so many books and movies having to do with the subject? Or are their chronicles, rooted in American history, a true story of vampire-like figures seeking victims/sustenance while remaining in the realm of the undead?

If everybody jumped off a bridge, would you? This week we're talking about the strange phenomenon of mass hysteria.
