A Vampire is Brought Back to Life (Sort of)

A couple of years ago, we told you about a 17th-century grave unearthed in Poland that was explicitly rigged to prevent a vampire from coming back to life. The burial of a young woman saw her foot shackled and a sickle placed across her neck, ready to cut upon the slightest raising of her head.

But those efforts were eventually proved to be in vain. In the two years since, she has risen from her grave, with the help of archaeologists, and her face has been brought back to life by forensic artists. While her name has been lost, she is called Zosia by locals and scientists. DNA analysis and the objects she was buried with tell us a little about her status. While she appears to be from a well-to-do family, she suffered from one or more physical conditions that may had led to her vampire reputation. -via Boing Boing
