ST. PAUL, MN – Do you believe in vampires? You might want to reconsider after hearing about this shocking archaeological find. Researchers have unearthed a medieval burial site with eerie anti-vampire practices that could make even the most skeptical rethink their beliefs.
Archaeologists have unearthed a rare medieval burial site in northwestern Poland, uncovering evidence of unusual burial practices meant to ward off suspected revenants. This discovery took place on GĆ³ra CheÅmska, near Koszalin, and was reported by the Lublin Provincial Conservator of Monuments.
Details of the Discovery
The site revealed two child skeletons buried in simple pits without coffins. The bodies were positioned on their backs with their heads facing west. The remains date back to the 13th century, based on the surrounding soil and pottery shards.
The location of the burials is noteworthy because itās not linked to any known cemeteries, making the find even more surprising. Particularly intriguing is the evidence of āanti-vampireā measures found in one of the graves.
Unusual Burial Practices
In medieval folklore, revenants, or “vampires”, are individuals who return from the dead, often with harmful intentions. To prevent such entities from disturbing the living, certain practices were employed. These might include placing heavy stones on the body, or even removing the head to ensure the dead remained in their graves.
In this discovery, one child’s grave showed clear signs of these protective measures. The child’s head had been severed and placed face down in the grave, with stones placed on the torso. The burial site also had markers, likely two pillars, as suggested by the preserved postholes.
The remains have been carefully excavated and documented. They are now set for anthropological analysis, which should provide further insights into these fascinating burial practices.
So, next time you hear a creaky door or see something strange in the night, just remember: the medieval folks took their vampire fears seriously. If they were around today, they’d probably suggest investing in some garlic and wooden stakes just to be safe! As for me, I’m going to watch Twilight for the millionth time and enjoy some Count Chocula. Hehe.
