| Summary |
George Stetson, a well-known anthropologist of the 19th century, describes incidences in New England during a "vampire panic" that inspired many families to exhume and cremate the bodies of relatives suspected to be vampires. Families would cut open the bodies of the suspected vampire and look for "living blood" before burning the heart of the victim.ℓ |
