Still Waters Posted September 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2022 The skeletal remains of a female 'vampire' were found in a 17th-century Polish graveyard – with a sickle across her neck to prevent her rising from the dead. Professor Dariusz Poliński from Nicholas Copernicus University headed the archaeological dig that led to the discovery of the remains, which were found wearing a silk cap and with a protruding front tooth, the Daily Mail reported Friday. "The sickle was not laid flat but placed on the neck in such a way that if the deceased had tried to get up… the head would have been cut off or injured," Poliński told the Daily Mail. https://www.sciencealert.com/vampire-in-poland-found-buried-with-a-sickle-to-prevent-the-rise-of-the-dead More images: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11173505/Remains-VAMPIRE-pinned-ground-sickle-throat-Poland.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted September 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Very prudent, in my opinion. You can't keep a good vampire down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereWeAreThen Posted September 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2022 So a murdered woman's remains was found with a sickle in her head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistocrates Posted September 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The sickle was placed on her neck, in attempt to prevent resurection. He who had the brilliant idea probably thought that she would behead herself, upon sitting up. I would instead have somehow mounted a set of spikes just above her eyeballs. in order to encourage her to stay put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splendor Solis Posted September 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I think another interesting story would be to find out how she died. Was she forced to the grave by a gang of bloodthirsty villagers who suspected she was a vampire purely based on a false reasoning? And how many people have met early demises because they were believed to be vampires, witches or any other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnicolette Posted September 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2022 So no mention of why the article claims she is a vampire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistocrates Posted September 6, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Probably because, this time around, she sunk her teeth into where they usually don't get sunk into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistocrates Posted September 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Might healthy teeth envy be the cause of persecution? Edited September 6, 2022 by Autistocrates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
