In a startling discovery in Poland, archaeologists unearthed the remains of a woman believed to have been considered a "vampire" by locals centuries ago. The skeletal remains were found with a sickle placed across her throat, a traditional method thought to prevent the dead from rising. This practice was used in medieval Europe to ward off suspected supernatural beings. A padlock was also attached to her toe, another symbol of restraint. This chilling find sheds light on ancient superstitions about the undead, revealing the fear and folklore that once governed burial practices in the region.
