The True History of Vampires | 300 Years of Real Hunts

Real vampire history is stranger than any novel. For 300 years, on six continents, people opened graves, staked corpses, and burned hearts. Carol Ann digs into the true history and lore of vampires. You'll see the 1725 Serbian report that first put the word "vampire" in print, the New England vampire panic and the exhumation of Mercy Brown, and a 17th-century Polish grave pinned down with a sickle and a padlock. From there it's London's Highgate Vampire hunt and a Romanian village that did it all again in 2004. Then the lore turns somewhere unexpected: blood-drained livestock in Puerto Rico 20 years before the chupacabra, lights over Brazil that locals said drained them, and a figure in the Scottish woods. Folklore, archaeology, and forensic science, plus the reports that still don't fit.
