Sickled and buried, skeleton remains of a female 'vampire' discovered in Poland during an archaeological dig

In a shocking discovery, archaeologists in Poland have unearthed the remains of a female ‘vampire’ at a cemetery. The announcement was made by the team of Polish researchers from the Institute of Archaeology at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.

The body was discovered in late August during a grave dig in the village of Pień close to Ostromecko. As per researchers, the grave dates back to the 17th century and had the skeleton of a young woman. Surprisingly, the skeleton remains had a sickle (a sharp blade) on the neck and there was also a padlock on her left foot’s toe.
The researchers released a statement which said, "It can be assumed that for some reason those burying the woman were afraid that she would rise from the grave. Perhaps they feared she was a vampire."

People say that the sickle would have decapitated the ‘so-called’ blood-sucker and the padlock must be to keep her way from returning. For those who have dealt with such monsters know that these are some of the popular tricks to a vampire. Also, the way the remains are found are quite similar to anti-vampire burial methods. Such graves have been earlier discovered in parts of eastern Europe.
Professor Dariusz Poliński, who led the research, said, "Ways to protect against the return of the dead include cutting off the head or legs, placing the deceased face down to bite into the ground, burning them, and smashing them with a stone."

He further said, “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."

It’s clearly a unique find in the world of vampires.
