Archeologists in Bulgaria haved uncovered a 13th century staked "vampire" at Perperikon, an ancient Thracian site in the south of the country, Archaeology reports. The remains once belonged to a man who was likely in his 40s. An iron rod had been hammered through his chest "to keep the corpse from rising from the dead and disturbing the living," Archaeology continues, and his left leg had also been removed and placed beside the corpse.
Clearly, this man's neighbors did not trust his remains to stay put. As Nikolai Ovcharov, the archeologist in charge of the dig, told the Telegraph: "We have no doubts that once again we’re seeing an anti-vampire ritual being carried out." At the time of the man's death, vampires were perceived as a real threat in many Eastern European communities. People who died unusually—from suicide, for example—were sometimes staked to prevent them from coming back from the dead, the Telegraph writes.

Reminds me of that old joke. What do you say to a one legged vampire in an ass kicking contest?
I hate when one legged vampires come back from the dead.

His ‘neighbors’ were obviously vampirophobes.
Indeed.
They are always hopping mad.
Seems to have worked. He didn’t get up, we can see from that picture!
Why mess with it;)
>>I hate when one legged vampires come back from the dead.<<
When they turn into a bat do they only have one wing and just fly in circles?
Anyone who promotes the idea he was a vampire doesn’t have a leg to stand on...or is it the other way around?
I guess Hillary escaped capture.
