Four suspected “vampire” remains were found by a group of Archaeologist
in a construction site in Gliwice in the southern part of Poland. Their head is decapitated and placed
between their legs. The skeletons which
was discovered on July 13, 2013 undergo a traditional burial practices to
ensure that a suspected undead would no longer rise from its grave and torment
its family and the villagers.
The archaeologist claimed that the remains dated long before the year of
1914. They are actually unsure on the exact date of the burial since no
personal belongings were found inside the casket to tell what time the incident
happened.
Analysis was conducted by the experts and stated that these rituals of
repelling vampire are common for Slavic areas due to the widespread of
Christianity. Normally people who were
suspected of becoming a vampire would have their head decapitated or hanged and
kept it hanging until their head separated from their body.
On July 22, 2013, more suspected vampires are found in Poland. The
number of corpses found with their head dismembered rose to roughly 17. Stones were also placed on top of the skulls
to ensure that they would not return from the walking life. There are all in all 43 graves found within
the area where gallows are used to be located.
The bodies will undergo a further analysis on the hands of the
experts. Furthermore historians would
browse to the old archives of church and try to locate if there’s any evidence
to this mass executions of suspected vampires.
