The Vampire Panic of New England

New England is known for its beautiful fall foliage, amazing Halloween celebrations and it’s history of superstition. Over 200 years after the Salem Witch Trials another such epidemic swept through the minds and imaginations of the people of New England. This time it wasn’t witches but vampires. Citizens became convinced that their recently deceased loved ones were vampires, rising from the grave to feed upon the living. In this episode, Jen gives you all the bloody details of this morbid tale.
