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.

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

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”

Wouldn't it be COVID-23 now? Or does the bat go back in time and release another deadly virus during 2020? Oh god...

I want to be buried in a staged scene with a broken coffin lid and posed as if I’m clambering up through the dirt.

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.

Yeah, it just sounds like the kid died and this was a burial rite precaution.

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.

tigers aren’t even real
Then you require my tiger summoning slab of raw meat. If you combine that with the magic rock you will create a perpetual motion machine
But now it is released… 2024 - vampires…
Idk we have barely started the aliens arc.
It’s all gonna come all at once, vampires, aliens, fungi, zombies, trump…
In a world with two brothers…
Fungi!?
I wonder if this was somewhat common or if his parents were just realllly afraid of vampires.
Humans believing in fantasy beings to the point of murder…how dumb…
…wait a minute…
