People used to believe that burying with a scythe was one of the ways to keep a person dead.
In a village in Poland, the remains of a “female vampire” were found, buried with a sickle at her throat and a padlock on her leg. The Daily Mail reported this.
Scientists suggest that the villagers may have mistaken a villager for a vampire and buried him so that he would never rise from the grave.
During the archaeological work in the 17th century cemetery in Peng village, researchers also found that the head of the skeletal remains was wearing a silk hat, indicating that he had a high social status.
The researchers noticed that early people used sickles and scythes for unusual rituals, fixed with the blade in the direction of the throat, so that when trying to get up, the dead would cut off their heads.
The toe, locked with a padlock, probably symbolizes “the closing of the stage and the impossibility of returning.”
