Vampires have been a part of folklore for hundreds of years, but in parts of New England in the 18th and 19th centuries, they were a very real. Let's talk about the New England Vampire Panic.

As someone who lives in Transylvania, I'm sick and tired of the stereotype that all of us are vampires. In all my 500 years here, I've never met one, and I've asked my friends too, who have all been around longer than I, and they haven't seen one either.

Good story. My son has cutaneous porphyria and it's no joke, growing up we couldn't figure out what was going on until he was properly diagnosed at Mayo. Too much sun (baseball) would cause it to feel like he was burning from the inside and he would puff up like the pillsbury dough boy. His hands would burn and we'd have to stick them in bowls of ice. Thankfully, limiting sun exposure has helped him quite a bit and now that he's in college he knows when it's time to get inside.

Arguably, vampire reflections would show up on modern mirrors since we don't use silver nitrate anymore as the reflecting surface. Silver was considered a pure metal and couldn't interact with the undead (or it would kill them) which is why it was believed vampires wouldn't be reflected.

Vampires were "real", werewolves were "real", and along with murder hornets there are flesh-eating bees (aka "zom bees") and zombie fungi controlling dead ants (and other animals). Throw in the Animal Conspiracy by Tim Bedore and the weirdness that various cryptids/monsters are based on and you start to figure out that maybe it's not disease we really should be worrying about...
@nephicus339 Рік тому
Minor correction; because Mary Brown died in winter, the ground was frozen and so she couldn't be buried. Her body was stored in a mortuary house in the cemetery, which had no heating, and made of stone. Basically, it was a perfect fridge for corpse preservation. When spring came around and she was finally buried, she'd barely been in the ground when she was exhumed. By this point she'd been dead a few months, but the winter time preservation meant when she was exhumed from her grave she looked very 'fresh.' Also historians have noted that the origin of Vlad Tepes drinking human blood stemmed from propaganda paid for by his enemies. Labeling him as a sadist, cannibal, vampire and more. While not 100% definitive; it's likely Vlad did not drink human blood. Animal blood perhaps, in the form of blood sausage or pudding and similar dishes is likely, though. I have nothing on Elizabeth Bathery except that she was the basis for the Countess of Blood in one of the Diablo video games. Or, her legend was, anyway. I deeply appreciate this video, Joe (and fans); it's just missing the finer details. You would be hard pressed to make a detailed video on this subject that is only 10 minutes long, too. I really recommend Ask A Mortician's video on this very topic.

And even earlier! Polidori wrote The Vampyre in 1816, the Year Without a Summer, during some stormy nights at Villa Diodati. And more awesome, it was written as part of a game by Lord Byron, Polidori (Byron's doctor), Percy Shelley and no other than... Mary Shelley!! So the same nights at the same place we, humankind, got two of the cornerstones of the popular culture that would flood the entertainment industry for the next two centuries! In my opinion, Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a much important piece of culture, since the Romantic Vampire genre would have to be refined to achieve what it is today, but nontheless is pretty impressive what a volcanic winter can do for human literature.

I read a book once where they connected vampire stories with Type 1 Diabetes. Untreated T1D would cause the person to be pale and weak and yet ravenous. Diabetic coma may be the reason for vampires ‘coming back to life’. Another symptom could be sensitivity to light or having their gums recede and bleed.

Two things: a vampire being damaged by sunlight wasn't part of the lore until the silent film "Nosferatu". Despite being widespread in popular culture thanks to the Internet, ergot was only associated with witches (specifically the trials of 1692) because of a very recent hypothesis that was widely promoted by its creators. It's pretty much been debunked due to the symptoms which don't just "turn off and on" like cases of "bewitching" and the fact ergot poisoning symptoms don't closely fit historical Salem records. Plus there were no deaths from being "bewitched " and ergot would've killed at least some.
@XSemperIdem5 Рік тому
There's a Netflix show called Dracula about a nun and Dracula and I like that Dracula truly thought the sunlight would kill him and in the end he learned it was harmless to him. Good touch.
@squirlmy Рік тому
interesting. I think Americans generally want to think our forefathers weren't so ignorant and barbaric, and the ergot theory excuses them a bit. Maybe the fact that they were tortured to death in the name of Christianity, too.
@kitefan1 Рік тому
I liked the ergot theory for part of it. Partially because as I got older I began to wonder how could a middle-aged elder be fooled by a lying 12 year old? And because of the story about the little dog going nuts after being exposed to urine from a sick person. Don't know if the dog story is true, but that would be poisoning. There was a French village that was poisoned by ergot from rye in 1951, the Pont-Saint-Esprit mass poisoning. The Pont-Saint-Esprit incident is well documented. In Salem, it made sense to me that it was kicked off by the ergot and followed by moral panic or mass hysteria.

Some kinda cool association between prophyria and vampires. one of the treatments of prohyrea is to give the affected person glucose and hemin (precursor to heme, the non-protein part of hemoglobin that acts like a socket for the iron atoms). This actually stops the accumulation of the toxic substances that cause the symptoms and prevents disease progression. Acute Intermittent Porphyria causes Polyneuropathy, including damage to the central nervous system. It is theorized constant damage over time made sufferers from AIP get early-onset behavioral changes. In their 40s, sufferers may become highly aggressive and loose some rationalizing capability, basically becoming maniacs. Now you can see how the picture kinda fits. People suffering from AIP in the past might have been normal in their early life, except for the red urine. Their body may have developed a taste for bloody heme-rich foods as a way to provide for a vital nutrient they couldn't produce. Over time, they would loose their mental capability, increasing in aggression reducing in rationalizing ability. If someone well-known and powerful in ancient times had this disease, a legend of this person being a blood-thirsty monster may have been produced. Again this is all just a theory

I acted a lot like a wolf for periods in my early childhood, and my parents took me to a therapist that specialized in child development who said rhat if he didn't know better he'd diagnose me with lycanthropy (the psychological disorder, not the mythical state of being a werewolf). This was initiated by kindergarten and early grade school teachers who kept reporting me as acting abused because I would get low to the ground, turn my head and avoid eye contact, yip or whine, or bare my teeth if submissive behavior wasn't working. Later it turned out I was autistic and was closely replicating the behavior of the dogs in our home when I felt unsafe or human communication wasn't working. So my parents let me work through it by sending me to wild canid survival and research projects for kids and let me volunteer at wildlife rehab programs, and now I'm a professional animal behaviorist. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a rational psychological angle for some people that ended up being the source of some myths.

Actually, Bram Stoker's Dracula was inspired by the novella, Carmilla, written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. It predates Dracula by 26 years and provided creative inspiration for Stoker's novel.

Bathory was from Hungary, but lived in Slovak. From there is also this story about her.

3:13 quick correction here, "Dracul" translates into "Satan" or "The Devil" in romanian, doesn't mean Dragon But anyway, cool story Joe, always nice to see one of your videos popping up :)
@hesjustthisguyyaknow Рік тому
the dragon was synonymous with satan at the time. the origin of his name being dracul was because he was given to the holy roman emperor in luxembourg as a child (standard practice for solidifying treaties). being raised in the court, vlad II joined an order of knights called the order of the dragon, whose symbol was a dragon broken under a cross. when he returned to wallachia to rule the locals called him vlad dracul because he brought with him the symbol of the dragon under the cross.

I remember seeing a vid of a man in the Wikipedia article on rabies showing a man going through a bought of hydrophobia (fear of water) and he was trying to get a sip of water but each time he looked at the cup you can see the fear in him, it's a fascinating but horrible thing to see. Rabies really is a scary disease. The vid is still there if anyone's interested, it was recorded by some Dr's in a Vietnamese hospital in 2007. He likely died not long after 😔

Could you please do a episode on lake mead and the bodies that are being uncovered there. I would love to hear a scientific analysis of the effects and causes of the lake drying up and some true crime about the bodies there. Great video btw!

Consumption was used to refer to any lung disease. This was often TB, but a lot of cases were probably lung cancer. Which makes sense since tobacco use was common and most people cooked over wood fires in their homes, while heating their homes with wood or coal.

In the bit about rabies, I was surprised you didn't mention hydrophobia. Vampires can't cross running water, you know.

Why UKposts HAS STOPPED RECOMMENDING your videos?! I've been a long time subscriber and watched every single video multiple times, but recently coming across your newer videos is hard unless I directly check the channel.
