About this listen

New England once had a full-on vampire panic — and no, it wasn’t sparked by a moody novelist or a fog machine gone rogue. In this episode of The House Red, we dig up (literally) the bizarre 19th-century hysteria that had entire towns convinced their neighbors were undead. From exhumations to accidental medical theories, this story has everything: fear, folklore, family drama, and a whole lot of questionable science.
