The Girl They Called a Vampire | America's Last Exhumation`

In 1892, a desperate father made an impossible choice: dig up his dead daughter to save his dying son. What happened in that Rhode Island cemetery became America's last documented vampire ritual—a case so disturbing it made international headlines and marked the end of an era.

Mercy Lena Brown was nineteen years old when consumption took her life. Two months later, her father and neighbors exhumed her body, searching for signs that she was feeding on the living. What they found in her coffin—and what they did next—reveals something terrifying about how far love can push ordinary people into darkness.

This isn't a ghost story. This is documented history. Court records, newspaper accounts, death certificates—all confirming that in the age of electricity and railroads, an American community performed a ritual that belonged to medieval Europe. The question isn't whether it happened. The question is why.
