Where else but Connecticut?
Well, New England, the witches, H.P.Lovecraft, Dunwich and Innsmouth?
In Jewett City, Connecticut, though,
in 1854, townspople had exhumed various bodies,
who were believed to belong to people who had become vampires.
How does a person become a vampire? Is he one to begin with?
Anyway, upon the death of a number of members of the Ray family,
a scare began. It's believed now that the mortality was due to Tuberculosis.
There was evidence in the placing of bodies.Bones were displaced,
which is a means of preventing a whole dead body from walking...
Obvious really.
In the early 1990s an unmarked grave site of the assiciated Walton family
was opened, and one of the bodies
there showed its head displaced.
It was very common practice to turn the skull around,
so that it would then stay dead and buried.
The practice still continues I believe,
and not just in eastern european countriesl
the same fears probably exist in the west, after Bram Stoker,
and Hammer horror, Buffy Angel, and the Twilight stories?
I recently watched Josh Gates on the travel channel
Expedition Unknown: watch out for that one!
interviewing a man who had opened a grave to kill a vampire.
