Long before Dracula introduced the world to its most famous vampire, terrified families across rural New England were opening the graves of their deceased relatives. In this chilling episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal, host Tony Sweet investigates America’s forgotten vampire panic—a dark chapter of history fueled by tuberculosis, superstition, grief, and desperation. Discover the disturbing story of Mercy Lena Brown, the 19-year-old Rhode Island woman whose body was exhumed in 1892 after neighbors claimed she was feeding upon her dying brother. We also examine the mysterious J.B. burial, public heart-burning rituals, and the terrifying physical signs of decomposition that convinced ordinary people their loved ones had returned from the dead. Were these simply desperate families confronting a disease they could not understand—or was something more sinister buried beneath the frozen New England soil? Sometimes the grave is not where a story ends. Sometimes…it is where the feeding begins. #TruthBeTold #TruthBeToldParanormal #TonySweet #VampireGraves #NewEnglandVampires #MercyBrown #VampirePanic #AmericanFolklore #DarkHistory #ParanormalPodcast #TrueHorror #HistoricalMysteries #Unexplained #MacabreHistory #VampireHistory #Tuberculosis #BuriedButNotDead #HalloweenPodcast Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-with-tony-sweet-paranormal--3589860/support. 🌐 Website: clubparanormal.com 📸 Instagram: @theclubparanormal 🎵 TikTok: @theclubparanormal Subscribe, follow, and join the conversation as we continue searching for the truth—wherever it may lead.

On Labor Day weekend in 1993, 35-year-old Texas mother Shelley Salter Watkins vanished from her home in Corsicana. One week later, fishermen discovered her body in the Trinity River—bound, wrapped in plastic and weighted with concrete. More than three decades later, no one has been convicted of Shelley’s murder. In this episode of Truth Be Told, Tony Sweet examines the disturbing timeline of Shelley’s disappearance, conflicting accounts, a reported early-morning sighting near the river and the unanswered questions that continue to haunt her family and community. With renewed reporting and advances in DNA testing, could justice for Shelley finally be within reach? This episode discusses an unresolved homicide and includes descriptions of violence. Statements concerning individuals are allegations, witness accounts or claims reported by journalists and investigators. No current suspect has been publicly named by authorities. #TruthBeTold #ShelleySalterWatkins #GoneWithoutAnswers #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMurder #ColdCase #MissingPerson #TexasTrueCrime #CorsicanaTexas #TrinityRiver #JusticeForShelley #UnsolvedMystery Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-with-tony-sweet-paranormal--3589860/support. 🌐 Website: clubparanormal.com 📸 Instagram: @theclubparanormal 🎵 TikTok: @theclubparanormal Subscribe, follow, and join the conversation as we continue searching for the truth—wherever it may lead.

The Spiritual Echoes of 9/11 with Mark AnthonyTwenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we remember the lives lost, the courage of the first responders and the compassion that brought people together during one of history’s darkest moments. Renowned psychic medium, attorney and author Mark Anthony joins Tony Sweet and guest co-host Bonnie Burkert, host of Truth Be Told Transformation, for a thoughtful exploration of the spiritual questions surrounding 9/11. Can the emotional energy of a tragedy remain within a location? Did intuition help guide some people to safety? Are sensitive individuals encountering spirits at Ground Zero—or what Mark describes as a “residual energy echo”? Mark also discusses grief, the afterlife and why he believes love continues beyond physical death. Bonnie shares her moving experience volunteering at Ground Zero five weeks after the attacks and the overwhelming emotions she experienced after returning home. This episode includes sensitive discussions of grief, trauma and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
