Like the Salem Witch Trials of the 1600s, the New England Vampire Panic of the 1800s was a time of tremendous death as well as the perfect "breeding" ground for peasant superstitions. Colonial New Englanders came to believe that the ravaging disease "consumption" (which we know today as tuberculosis) was caused not by a bacterial contagion, but by real flesh and blood vampires literally consuming the still living members of a family. And this consumption of their vitality was taking place from beyond the grave.

The accounts of vampirism in New England would take place before famous works such as Dracula, Nosferatu and in more contemporary times, that of Max Schreck. But were the vampires of New England simply a literary or cinematic motif, like we see with so many books and movies having to do with the subject? Or are their chronicles, rooted in American history, a true story of vampire-like figures seeking victims/sustenance while remaining in the realm of the undead?
