This tomb was discovered in a cemetery in the Polish town of Kamien Pomorski, dating from the 16th century. The strange features of the tomb make scientists speculate this may be a way for people to Now against 'vampires' , a mystical creature that has haunted the Middle Ages for centuries.

The time of the 16th century coincided with the time when people in many parts of Central Europe at that time feared that vampires might come back and "suck their blood". Such piling into the feet and insertion of bricks into the mouth are believed to prevent vampires from rising to the surface and sucking blood.

'At first we thought he was injured in his leg. But finding out carefully, we found that it was a hole because someone was cloudy. The mouth has a piece of brick inserted, perhaps to prevent vampires from using their teeth to bite at the victim, ' said team leader Archaeologist Slawomir Gorka.

A few years ago, people also found that some 'vampire' graves are similar to this. Many people believe that graves of this type are popular in the Kamien Pomorski area in the 13-17 century.

In this area, people often believe that some beliefs believe that if someone is evil, he can turn into a vampire after he dies. In order to stop them from turning into vampires, they must stab a chest of iron or wooden bars before being buried. Even these people's teeth are removed when buried.

It is known that belief in vampires is widespread throughout the Bulgarian regions and other parts of Central Europe during the Middle Ages. Alcoholics, thieves or murderers all have the potential to become vampires. This belief was also made into a horror film about the vampire Lord Dracula in 1958.
