After hearing about Lawrence Washington's death in 1752, Franklin worked to get to the bottom of what happened. Vampirism was still new to the colonies, and the people knew very little about the monsters, let alone how to defend themselves. However, as time went on, Franklin overheard a couple of British soldiers talk about how certain materials were rumored to repel and ultimately kill a vampire e.g. fire, garlic, holy symbols and water, wooden stakes, etc.

Desperate for results, Franklin took it upon himself to put the theories to the test, at the risk of his own life. He waited until dark, and walked through the streets of Philadelphia, armed with a wooden stake, a few small bottles of garlic, and a wooden cross Franklin carved himself.
