Very cool! I worked at the field site with the “vampire “ burials in 2014. There were quite a few people buried with scythes around their neck or torso.

That's incredible. Have you all published a paper on the findings there? I'd love to read it.

I just worked there for school credit, so I didn’t have anything to do with published articles on it, but I know I’ve seen some. I think if you google “atypical burials Poland” you could find some. We were told to call the “vampires” atypical instead of vampires.

Will do. I like that term for them. Thanks!

Honest question: Do you ever fear one might be a real vampire and rise from the dead?

Yeah so do they leave the scythes in place?

What if we are just inadvertently arming the undead
