The Jewett City Vampires refers to an incident surrounding the Ray family, a large farming family of Griswold, Connecticut in the 1840s and 1850s, who upon the death of multiple family members concluded they were plagued by vampires, and in 1854 disinterred the dead relatives and consumed their forces to "protect" themselves from the undead. == History == Sometime in the mid 19th century one member of the Ray family had contracted tuberculosis, and the first fatality came with the death of 24-year-old Lemuel Ray in 1845.〔 Shortly after Lemuel Ray's father Henry B. Ray died in 1851, two years later 26-year-old Elisha Ray, Lemuel's brother died in 1853, only one year after that in 1854 Henry Ray; Henry B. Ray's eldest son and Lemuel and Elisha's brother died from the disease.〔 The body with the "skull and crossbones", found in a coffin with the markings JB-55, had characteristics consistent with a death from tuberculosis, as well as two surrounding bodies, all presumably buried in the 1790s.〔 "JB-55" is the only visually confirmable practice of the bone disruption that the Ray family was supposed to have used to keep dead family members "dead." Another common method to ensure that dead family members remained that way was to cut out the heart of the deceased member and burn it to cure the rest of the family and put the spirit to rest The Ray family died from the deadly and highly contagious disease of tuberculosis, then known as consumption over a period of nine years.〔
