Archeologists at a research dig in Poland reported this week the discovery of the skeletal remains of a woman buried with a sickle across her neck, an indication that the decease women’s contemporaries believed her to be a vampire and wished to prevent her from rising from the dead.

The discovery came during excavations at a 17th century cemetery in the small village of Pien. Researchers in the Polish city of Torun will reportedly carry out further research on the remains. 

Dariusz Poliński, a professor at Nicholas Copernicus University who is leading the research, told the Daily Mail that the sickle “was not laid flat but placed on the neck in such a way that if the deceased had tried to get up most likely the head would have been cut off or injured.” MORE
