Pień padlocked burial
Ñu ngi koy wooye itam: Pień vampire, vampire of Pień
The Pień burial is a 17th-century Polish grave in which a woman was interred with a sickle across her throat and a padlock on her foot. Archaeologists interpret both as measures to keep the dead from rising. It gives physical form to the precautions that folklore prescribes against the upiór and strzyga. The find was reported in 2022 and is usually described as a 'vampire' burial.12
