Vampire legend Mercy Brown is my 13th cousin twice removed.
Mercy Brown's story is the legendary inspiration for Bram Stroker, HG Lovecraft and many other authors. It's surmised that she is the mother of the entire vampire genre in fact. Was she a vampire? Probably not. But I'm also related to a lot of extraordinary women with supposed supernatural abilities so that must be taken into consideration.
A quick google search will give you lots of information about what happened to Mercy Brown in New England in 1892. Here is a 6 minute video overview if you don't have time to go down a rabbit hole right now:
