Mercy Brown vampire incident
The Mercy Brown vampire incident occurred in Rhode Island in January 1892. It is one of the best documented cases of the exhumation of a corpse in order to perform rituals to banish an undead manifestation. The incident was part of the wider New England vampire panic. Several cases of consumption (tuberculosis) occurred in the family of George Thomas (April 1, 1842 – November 17, 1922) and Mary Eliza "Elizabeth" Arnold Brown (October 11, 1847 – December 8, 1883) in Exeter, Rhode Island. Friends and neighbors believed that this was due to the influence of the undead.
