According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, archaeologists recently discovered a tomb believed to have been buried in the 17th century on the basement floor of a church in Pocheber, Pomerania, Poland.
Three remains were found in the tomb, which was built about 2 meters deep under the floor stone plate, one of which had a sickle on his neck.
Archaeologists claimed that it was a medieval custom to prevent vampires from returning from death.
The remains were believed to belong to a man who died at the age of 50 and had various signs of trauma before his death.
Anthropologist Dr. Justina Cargus "There were a lot of cuts in his skull, which probably suggested a deep cut in his face."It looks like he lost some teeth in one hit."
He added that "the discovery of vampire burial sites in churches would be the first case.'
Occasionally, the remains of metal rods or iron ponds embedded in skulls have been found in some parts of Europe.
At the time, people thought it was a way to prevent them from returning from death.
In addition, burial methods have also been found in which dead bodies are locked or suppressed with stones or bricks.
Earlier this month, the decapitated body of a 'vampire eye' buried lying face down was found in southeastern Poland.
Last year, a number of skeletons with skulls between legs and coins in their mouths were excavated in northeastern Poland.
