Ridiculous. Many New Englanders know family members do not have to be dead to suck the life out of you!

You look like great value matt gaetz.

Actually in several of my online classes they had us do crossword puzzles for seemingly stupid things. Same with my OSHA 10 lol

Well, I guess Dummerston is aptly named….

I love this video. The last article was so good.

We absolutely stan Reverend West

Keeping sniffer’s leash to your side is learned behavior. 😂

The undead creature called a Wright is more accurate than a Vampire.

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite on the platform. Also just want to shoutout the aspect ratio

You can change the line before you send it in! You cannot put two space bands together - if you did, the mold would spurt molten lead all over!

5:26 "and women will at last dress..." How did you not give us the end of that sentence 😭😭 I need to know what that is and what it has to do with wireless smh

It always makes my day when a new video drops! Hopefully you've been spared the ire of persnickety southern Mainers, but on the off chance it ever comes up again, Saco is pronounced "sock-oh"

that tree looks very unwell

To put Mercy Browns being exhumed in 1892 in context, Benz had been buildings cars for 7yrs by then.

"Very heavily resemble a Dracula type vampire" That's not some kind of coincidence. Bram Stoker started writing Dracula after reading about the exhuming of the body of Mercy Brown in Rhode Island, which made the NYC newspapers he was having shipped to him in Europe.

If you wanna find some New England vampires go to Rhode Island.

I wonder how did the vampire folklore turn into vampires who supposedly sucked the blood out of their victims' necks?

Small correction. Saco Maine is pronounced Sah-co not say-co

Cape cod zero vampires 👍

I loved hearing the stories of "vampire graves" from the New England areas. These are not at all as twisted and sick as those tales about Count Vlad. I'm Romanian, and my mother's mom and dad, grandparents, etc.,. were all from Transylvania 🧛🧛‍♀ and came to the US in the late 1890s or so. I just really enjoy hearing a good vampire story. It's like it's in my blood or something🩸😂😂

Shoutout to the one Toronto Star reporter

The superstition of vampires a fascinatingly ancient thing! This superstition and its markings on the dead can be found all over. Miniminuteman has a great video he did on halloween about it. I don't know where "consumption vampires" would originate from, but humans have feared the dead returning for a VEEERRRY long time, so I wouldn't be surprised if this specific belief is also ancient.

The happens to be sculpted by Zerubabbel Collins, perhaps the finest gravestone sculptor to have ever lived. That burial yard is filled with his work and is very much worth looking at. It is also worth going there to see Robert Frost's grave.

Saco is pronounced Sock-o in Saco, ME

Fellow historian here- REALLY like your work, mate! Love how down to Earth and unslick it is, real grassroots vibe. Cracking stuff! BUT... coz of that, you defo don't need to add a music track like at the start. It just distracts from how cool your work is!

This is fantastically interesting and such a well-made video. But I think the tone needs some adjustment, honestly the desperation-fueled superstition leading to desecrating graves is a really sad phenomenon

We have head stones just like this. Hallowell, Maine has a huge cemetery with many of these. I photograph slate stones and love the different carvings. It's fun to see how styles change over the years.

The rural areas of Central and Western NY are a lot like Vermont and Massachusetts in my experience.

Besmear… reminds me of cream cheese

Tuberculosis is on the rise, unfortunately.

Simon Whipple is buried in North Smithfield Rhode Island not Cumberland

These videos are so good for when I'm feeling nostalgic for New England

End the Oligarchy

I guaruntee you there are more CT vampires. Place is a den of energy vampires 😂

You're a great story teller. I am from central MA,northern RI , CT area. The old Douglas Woods.. near the tri state marker. Would love to hear some more stories about the area

something so strange about walking around a graveyard and litigating the lives of these dead folk. keep it up. 👍

While searching for a relatives headstone in a Connecticut cemetery I realized all the headstones were facing the same direction east west. Accept for a family that was off to the side with two stones out of that family were facing north south which seemed pretty strange.

So thumbnail was right i guess

People back in the day did stuff like this for 0 internet clout 😭😭😭

Fantastic story teller. Thank you.

The amount of research and legwork that must go into these videos is insane to think about. Thank you for making the time to share your passion and education with us.

This would never happen today. They'd call it "woke" instead of "socialist".

Thank you for pronouncing Exeter correctly, you have NO idea how infuriatingly common it is for people to pronounce it "Egg-sitter". As always, amazing video~

4:03... I mean. We still have to see how much a human born in the 2000's can live.

The mention of Whateley is going to make the eyes of Lovecraft fans bug out. 9:25

If anyone is wondering why people with TB were sent to places like New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado it’s because the disease thrives in a moist environment and the dry air of those states gives sufferer’s enough relief that their bodies can respond to treatment. Of course now that we know that TB is spread by sharing dirty utensils, food, or a kiss with an infected person we can prevent it.

Love the video. Crazy thing is why would they even bury them in a graveyard. But I guess that's a Catholic thing.

Thank you for another great video!

It's terrible how antibiotics are making consumption vampires an endangered species.

I've always heard "Elisha" as sounding like "Elijah," with the long "eye" sound. Is putting the accent on the first syllable more accurate?
