Lithuanian returning dead

Tinatawag ding: sugrįžtantys numirėliai, numirėlis, walking dead of Lithuania
Alamat at mitoUndeadMasamang kamatayan o libingGitnang Panahon

Lithuania kept a strong tradition of the dangerous dead long after its conversion to Christianity. Cemeteries of the 14th to 17th centuries contain bodies deliberately beheaded, dismembered or turned face down, which archaeologists connect with fear of corpses returning. Lithuanian legends collected in modern times still describe meetings with the 'walking dead', usually brought on by disrespect for a grave. The material and the stories together give a Baltic counterpart to the revenant evidence from England and Poland.12
