Am I a vampire hunter? When I hear "vampire hunter" I think of Professor Van Helsing of Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula," a medical doctor, scientist and philosopher. Van Helsing used his intimate knowledge of folklore and obscure diseases to track down and destroy Dracula.
I've been using history and folklore to find and interpret New England's vampires. This quest has taken me from old town records to hidden, forgotten cemeteries.
