Description
Military scientists helped put a name to a man suspected of being a vampire in 1800s Connecticut. In 1990, archaeologists in Griswold found his grave, where someone had arranged his skull and leg bones into a skull and crossbones after his death. Tuberculosis was devastating New England families, and some believed the dead returned to drain the living. Scientists with the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory analyzed his DNA, and together with historical records it pointed to John Barber.
