Archaeologists examining a grave site in Croatia recently uncovered disturbing evidence of a “vampire” burial. Investigations revealed that the remains of the deceased had been deliberately moved, with two stones placed near the head and feet — a practice that was likely intended to prevent the man from rising from the grave.
The grave, believed to date back to sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries, was discovered last year at the archaeological site of Rašaška (or Račeša), an estate with links to the Templars and the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.
