Scientists working in Pień (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship) discovered the remains of a child buried face down, with an 'anti-vampire' triangular padlock under its foot.

According to Dr. Dariusz Poliński, the child had been buried in a cemetery of the rejected, who were feared even after death.

The seventeenth-century burial is located about 1.5 meters from the grave of the 'vampire from Pień' discovered last year - a woman buried with a sickle around her neck and a padlock closed on her toe.
