The Sad, Complex Story of Mercy Brown. Plus Appetizers.

In this episode, Vic Hermanson continues on the path of making TTT a fully video show...please watch the video and let me know what you think. It's improving. Mercy Brown, who was called Lena by her family was a 19 year old girl who died of tuberculosis in 1892, in Exeter, Rhode Island. Her life was almost totally unremarkable. After her death, she became the focus of a very strange legend...essentially that of a vampire with no vampires involved. In standard TTT methodology this episode also touches on schizophrenia, leprosy, rabies, human hopelessness, and the behavior of desperate people, and desperate populations. Oh, I almost forgot...Puppy Pregnancy Syndrome is also addressed. Believe me, it's an interesting ride.
