October 27th: Vampire Folk Belief in Connecticut

Nick Bellantoni, State Archaeologist Emeritus

To get into the Halloween spirit, we will be joined on Wednesday, October 27th by State Archaeologist Emeritus Nick Bellantoni to present “The New England Vampire Folk Belief: The Archeological Evidence”. He will discuss some more recent cases of suspected vampirism in the 1800s, and give updates on familiar examples, including the Jewett City Vampires (Connecticut), the Mercy Brown case (Rhode Island), and “Burial Number 4,” in Griswold, Connecticut all based on archaeological findings.
