Discovered the 3 crucified 'vampires' in Poland

Three new remains were discovered by Polish archaeologists who were nailed to the spine, apparently to avoid the "living grave".

According to Seeker website, these remains were buried in the Middle Ages, around the 13th and 14th centuries in the village of Gorzyca, in western Poland.

The man was buried with two large stones placed beside his head.

"These remains were found near the residence of a former bishop. There is a Gothic church in this area," Krzysztof Socha from the Kostrzyn Fortress Museum in Poland said on Seeker.

Two remains, of a man and a woman with different signs of torture, by sharp objects.

Both sets of bones have holes in the spine, like being crucified. All remains are buried in the ground, rituals to prevent the grave from rising.

According to Polish archaeologists, it seems that the woman is hunched and this frightens the surrounding community. After death, she was seen as a threat. This woman's knee is broken.

The results of the skeleton examination of the man also found signs of this person being hunchbacked. Fragments are fragmented and beheaded.

The backbone has signs of being crucified.

The third skeleton belongs to a male around 30-35 years old. This person was buried with a head stuck between two rocks. A hole in the spine showed the man was tightly shut to the ground.

"The remains are quite intact and show no signs of disease," Socha said.

Traditionally, placing stones in graves indicates a special burial rite. Some believe that medieval "vampires" were often buried with bricks in their mouths, nailed to the ground and sometimes beheaded and fragmented.

Three sets of remains were transferred to Polish anthropologists for further examination. The results will soon be announced as soon as the investigation process is over, Socha said.
