Carla Valentine Instagram – It’s not October yet, but it’s my birthday and I always feel like that is the start of spooky season for me ☠️ “Vampire Burials”: The first 3 images are of a child burial excavated last month in Pień near Poland’s northern city of Bydgoszcz, in what seems to have been a graveyard for “abandoned souls” and the poor. The 400 year old skeleton of a child (aged 5-7 years old) has a triangular padlock on its feet to stop it rising from the dead and is facing downwards to ensure that “if it bites” it bites the soil in the grave. It’s shockingly sad because the first thing I thought was “what could a child of 5-7 years of age possibly do to make people think it’s cursed in some way, and might rise from the dead”? Archaeologists and historians say sudden death seemed “suspicious” back then and could account for this fear; or perhaps if the child had a physical abnormality. Either way it seems horrendous that an afflicted child would be buried like this rather than in the graveyard attached to the church. The second 3 pics are of a woman found last year only a few feet away from this child in the same graveyard. Also believed to be a “vampire” burial she had a scythe placed over her neck. The idea is that if she rose from the dead the scythe would cut her head off. You can see the placement of the scythe in the pics: very inventive
