In 1929, Montague Summers republished the story along with the first chapter of Varney the Vampire.
Eventually, after much research, he came to the conclusion that Croglin Low Hall was the place Hare had referred to in the book, even though a chapel had not existed nearby for many years.
An old house had been rented out to a woman and two brothers, Amelia, Edward, and Michael Cranswell.
The brother shot it in the leg and was able to track it down to a vault in the local cemetery.
They waited until the next day to enter the vault, where they found the body of the vampire, with a fresh wound to the leg, resting inside a coffin.
