It's October, and you know what that means- True Crime New England is back with spooky themed episodes for the entire month! Join Katie and Liz in their first installment of this year's Spooky Halloween Extravaganza VIP Event!! The girls take you through the entirety of New England as they discuss the mass hysteria surrounding tuberculosis in the 18th through 19th centuries. All six states of our quiet and quaint region experienced the same panic- was this contagious disease the work of vampirism? Liz tells the story of one of the first ever recorded suspicions of a vampire in Vermont, while Katie shares the horrific tale of Mercy "Lena" Brown and her family, who almost completely succumbed to tuberculosis.
