The so-called V that is etched above the front door is actually a tulip (flower) and does not stand for vampire. If you were to go to the front office, you would find out who is buried there. It is/was not a vampire. The crypt NEVER caught on fire. The black color you see on the outside stone is black mold that is impregnated into the stone due to age and moisture. This is a very common occurrence you see throughout all graveyards and tombstones.

@@shaggybodacious8309 No, I'm not from Erie, I live in northeast Ohio. But I use to work at a cemetery. Its nice to fantasize about vampires, werewolves, and fire breathing dragons but they are simply folklore and not real. The BS that people make-up and spread, and then how it takes off never ceases to amaze me.

I loved to walk through the Erie Cemetery with my dog when I lived in Erie. It is very beautiful. I remember walking past this crypt. I don't know the legend behind it, if there is one. There are tours of the cemetery put on by the Historical society...they may be aware of any story about this crypt. I believe there are more than 50,00 people buried here. There is even an old tract where the horse drawn wagons carrying the coffins would travel for burials. There are also deer and there was a coyote den that was there, but they took the pups out due to the mother being aggressive to visitors/pets. The cemetery was incorporated I think in the 1850s but I have seen grave markers there that show dates of passing in the 1700s. Very cool place and kept up well.

Yes I remember this well, I have been going to this spot my whole life,me and my friends still roll up on this side of the hill and smoke it up, (💨💨 pass) and we always reminisce the days we used to climb all over this structure, at one point it had Brown family name written on the top, but somehow it’s definitely not there anymore, also the front door was ably to partially open and you can see what look like drawers i the walls, but that also has since been secured, we always called it the devil’s tomb, and the father supposedly was from Erie and yes the story about him going to another country and upon Returning he wasn’t the same is the rumors but there is a lot more to the story as well i don’t quite remember all of it, but yes the devils tomb, 🔥🤘🏼🔥
