Humans used to be so fucked up.
We still are, but we used to be too.
What’s fucked up about chaining up a corpse. Of course it doesn’t help anything but there is also no harm in it.
Someone once asked me if I’d like some glacier-covered land in Alaska. I said “no, but I would like some non-glacier-covered land in Alaska later, so yeah”
The remains date from an era that viewed ghosts, zombies and other supernatural entities as being as real as humans.
I am so glad that 95% of the human race no longer believes in the supernatural and never supports organized religion.
Tiring day, can’t wait to get home and watch shows that are educational that totally don’t speculate about ancient aliens or hunt ghosts.
And they just unlocked it and let it out?! Goddamnit!
its probably a hiding vampire bat waiting to release covid-20
Noooo…you must not read from the book!
Humans believing in fantasy beings to the point of murder…how dumb…
…wait a minute…
From what I can tell in the article the kid wasn’t murdered? Or did I miss something
Yeah, it just sounds like the kid died and this was a burial rite precaution.
I think the person above you just read the headline and made an assumption.
Maybe he thought the kid was to be a snack for the vampire
Santa Slayer!
“Look it might be a waste of a lock, but I don’t want some vampire kid killing me. Don’t let your last words be, ‘I should have listened to Jeeeeeeff!’”
“It’s pronounced Jeff”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A 17th-century child’s remains were found padlocked to a grave in Poland - an act that is thought to be been to stop him rising from the dead.
Archaeologists uncovered the body of a six- to seven-year-old buried facedown with a triangular iron padlock under its foot.
It is believed the body, found in the northern village of Pien, was buried facedown and padlocked to the grave because of ancient supernatural beliefs in vampires.
The find was reported to have come from the same site as a year ago it was announced the remains of a woman had been discovered with a sickle around her neck and a triangular padlock on her foot.
The child was likely buried facedown to keep it from sitting up and exiting the grave to feed on living people, he added.
The child’s bones date from an era that viewed ghosts, zombies and other supernatural entities as being as real as humans.
The original article contains 348 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 55%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m just imagining a vampire waking, then sticking its butt up in the air in an attempt to sit up. Then cartooning question marks coming out in its confusion
Cool. I’m down for that when I die

The headline is somewhat ambiguous, and seems to imply that the child was chained there to prevent a vampire buried below from rising. Knowing the child was the supposed vampire makes this a little less grim, because I was picturing some poor kid with his leg shackled to a headstone and left to die.
