Archaeologists in Poland have discovered the remains of a woman believed to be a vampire, buried with a sickle across her neck and a padlock on her foot to prevent her from rising from the dead. This practice, common in 17th-century Poland during a reported vampire epidemic, involved various methods to subdue the undead, including burning, smashing with stones, and dismemberment. The remains, nicknamed "Zosia," were carefully reconstructed using 3D printing and DNA analysis, highlighting the unique historical and cultural context of this fascinating discovery.
