Please register below. In the late 18th century, citizens of New England began hearing whispers and rumors. As plagues ravished families and communities, a strange belief took hold among many that there were blood sucking vampires in their midst. Even more disturbing, they believed that the vampires were members of their own families, and that each and every one had to be hunted down to make sure they stayed where they belonged – in their graves. Join lecturer, author and paranormal expert Barry Pirro to learn about the bizarre tale of the New England vampire craze.
