Pardubice, East Bohemia, July 11 (CTK) - Archaeologists have uncovered a 4000-year-old grave in Mikulovice, east Bohemia, with remains of what might have been considered a vampire at the time, Nova TV has reported.

The experts made the terrifying find within their research of a burial site from the Early Bronze Age.

One of the graves was situated somewhat aside. The skeleton in it bears traces of unusual treatment.

When buried, the dead man was weighed down with two big stones, one on his chest and the other on his head.

"Remains treated in this way are now considered as vampiric. The dead man's contemporaries were afraid that he might leave his grave and return to the world," Radko Sedlacek from the East Bohemia Museum said.

This is for the first time Czech archaeologists have uncovered a "vampire's" grave, Nova said.

In ancient times, people believed vampires are the dead who occasionally return among the living to harm their health or property.

Vampire ping. Not Hillary related.

Soooo... did they lift the stones ? Was the corpse still... gooey ? Do they still have it ?

You're never supposed to remove whatever is holding a vampire down, otherwise they come back. These archaeologists must not watch any movies.

No good can come from this!

Well, gee, the first big mistake in vampire movies is OPENING THEIR GRAVES!!!!

Anyway, I think the vampire on the loose is Barack (even sounds like an old world vampire name). And being affected by sunlight was a movie fabrication, so it’s no surprise seeing him walk around in the daytime.

Yes, they did.
The corpse was gone the following morning.

Because if he did, I think I know who could take care of him.
