Vampire burials dating back to the medieval period are fairly common in Europe, even among children. During that period of history, it was widely believed that certain bodies could be inhabited by demons and rise again to spread death and misfortune.
The practice continued into the 18th century, with victims of plagues often being buried with the local customs meant to prevent undead activity.
Few details about the vampire children are known, but archeologists hope to learn more by thoroughly examining the remains. In addition to the age and gender of the bodies, researchers are hopeful they can figure out the cause of death. Those details could help uncover why they were buried in an unmarked graveyard with special precautions taken to ensure one of them didn’t rise again.
