Reply to comment by BrokenEye3 in TIL after her death, Mercy Brown's heart and liver were burned and the ashes mixed into a tonic that was given to her sick brother to drink. Her father believed that she was a vampire and that the tonic would cure the brother of tuberculosis. It didn't; he died two months later. by NightVisible3767

Really makes you question where they’re getting their vamp lore from

Good point.

She died in 1892.

Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897.
