Researchers have unearthed the skeletal remains of a "vampire child" in a Polish graveyard. The child was buried face down with a triangular padlock on its foot. The skeletal remains of the child, who anthropologists believe was 5 to 7 years old, were discovered in an unmarked, mass cemetery in the Polish village of Pień, near Ostromecko. Triangular padlocks were attached to people’s feet to keep them tethered to the ground once buried, Poliński said.

A female "vampire" skeleton was found in a 17th-century Polish graveyard. It was found restrained to prevent the dead woman from returning from the grave. The skeleton had a sickle laying across the throat and a padlock on its big toe. Professor Dariusz Poliński from Nicolaus Copernicus University headed up the archaeological dig that led to the discovery of the skeleton, the Daily Mail reported Friday. Later on, as the lore evolved, people believed that vampires were rising from the dead and strangling people the night.
