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
