Episode July Bonus Episode: Digging Into Exhumed with Aaron Mahnke
For this month's bonus episode, we are joined by one of our favorite storytellers, Aaron Mahnke of Lore 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!
