Short version: 19 year old woman who died of tuberculosis or "consumption" was exhumed a few months later; she hadn't decomposed enough so they said she was a vampire; they cut out her heart: and fed it to her father, so he wouldn't become a vampire. This was in 1892, we had actual science, but, you know, "reasons". The past was the worst, everyone! It's a pleasant cemetery. A good mix of older and newer markers. Parking is standard horrible cemetery parking. There were a few other people there when we arrived. Please be respectful when visiting.

It isn't a place to spend a long time, but it a very interesting story of America's wild past. The grave isn't too difficult to find. It's on the left near the large coniferous tree on your left. Make sure to do your research before visiting.

I'm a huge history geek and I always wanted to come down here to pay my regards to Mercy Brown. What happened to her was unbelievable. I'm also into scary/creepy things and wanted to see if I experience anything abnormal here. I went there around 2:40pm just to be safe lol. It did felt a bit eeri walking around that tree where the Brown family is buried but it was a great experience. Very peaceful. No one was around.

I love the place here, even if I’ve never been I hope on really going here and talking to Miss Mercy L. Brown!

Excellent historic cemetery with Mercy Browns pictures from who is a well known spirit / ghost. My husband and I go there a lot. We saw a ghost spirit behind the photo he took of me. She was dressed as a young lady from years ago. Like Laura Ingalls did. Every time we go, we see some thing. Can you see this apparition /spirit? Everyone who saw this saw her right away Have a Boo-tiful Day 👻
