For this month's bonus episode, we are joined by one of our favorite storytellers, Aaron Mahnke of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lore/id978052928" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lore</a> Podcast, to discuss his upcoming book  Exhumed: Unearthing the History of the American Vampire. We discuss this fascinating book which dives into one of history's strangest rabbit holes: the New England vampire panic. We touch on the tragic story of Mercy Brown, corpse medicine, pseudoscience, folklore, and the very real fears that led ordinary people to do some truly diabolical things!  Aaron shares the inspiration for the book, some unconventional  home theft deterrents, and talks about his favorite moments from his incredible podcast!
