Fans of the supernatural are always looking for lore and evidence that their beliefs are true. This is why the Rhode Island vampire grave is so popular among the public, as people continue to believe that Mercy Lena Brown is a vampire, as proven by the examination of her corpse, approximately two months after her demise.

There were five alleged vampire cases in Rhode Island. Mercy Lena was the last of them, as after the incident, exhumation wasn’t entertained by locals anymore due to the risks of tuberculosis. However, her story has inspired famous novelists like Bram Stoker and H.P. Lovecraft, further fueling the beliefs that Brown was a vampire.

Today, Mercy Lena Brown’s or the Rhode Island vampire grave is still getting visits at the Chestnut Hill Cemetery or Historical Cemetery #22.
