In the Czech Republic for the first time in the world discovered a mass grave of vampires.


Last summer, in the Czech town Chelyakovtsy made frightening discovery. Frantisek Zmek pan, digging drainage groove, suddenly found that his favorite garden - a real cemetery. The skeletons were shallow on the ground, and their appearance and character of burial indicated that they belonged to the vampires.

- As it is impossible to believe - the museum's director, told reporters in Chelyakovtsah. - But you have to. This is the first cemetery in the world of vampires, open ever.

In medieval "index devils" (XIII c.) Reads: "Vampires - are human corpses, animated by the devil, to crawl out of their graves, the cemetery disappearing into the thickets, crawling toward the dwellings of men. Penetrate deep into the night to sleep, sit on his chest, strangled, drink blood. their victims also become vampires ... " It seems that hammered in the chest of the deceased suspected of vampirism, a stake to avoid having to further bloody escapades. After that, other means of precautions were no longer needed. A stake as evidence of such form of protection, often found in isolated graves in cemeteries vampires in Eastern Europe. Chelyakovskoe burial - is quite different. Archaeologists have determined that all the graves date to the end user X-XI centuries. Eleven wells buried thirteen middle-aged men that have caused, apparently, such a fear in life, even after the death of their fear. Dead bodies lay on the side or stomach, arms linked (and feet too) with leather straps to could not reach them for life-giving rising sun, not to restore their strength and not out of the grave. Traditional wooden stake was driven through the heart. But for some reason, all of these funds were insufficient. And, apparently, vampires came out of the graves in search of new victims. It was necessary - as archaeologists found - again dig some graves, cut off the dead heads, cut off her feet. On skeletons clearly visible traces of these posthumous operations conducted fallen into despair Slavic inhabitants of the village. How many people out there have been? A hundred? Two hundred? Still not enough for the thirteen, always bloodthirsty, horrible ghosts. During these long exhumations of graves removed all the items that were of Slavic traditions accompany the deceased in his afterlife: weapons, tools, status symbols. Like, apparently, leave a vampire only one weapon - bare hands. Alas, except the hands and strolling them had teeth. Sharp, easy to bite through human skin, especially on the neck or wrists. But embossing teeth, even the vampires, this ancient Slavs did not dare ...

All shows, wrote the Czech press that at the beginning of our millennium Chelyakovtsy been invaded by vampires. Initially, probably did not pay enough attention to sudden death, and then resorted to, though forced, but violent means to rescue the survivors. Why then? What is the cause of mass out of the graves of former residents of the village and the attack on the living? According to the ancient chronicles (or rather, the lack thereof), this village did not deserve anything like this ... Chelyakovtsy are near the hamlet of Stara Boleslav - Czech center of Christianization. At a time of the invasion of vampires began to develop the cult of St. Wenceslas. Maybe that's why the devil attacked the enemy camp (Christians), causing accidents converts back to a clearly pagan antivampirnym action to save the lives of the villagers.

Initially, archaeologists assumed that the cemetery are buried only aliens from outside, from a tribe, an alien faith and armed force other hell, the devil is not local. No! Rigorous research groups have confirmed that the bones are those of local residents.

Then a version that found a family cemetery, bury their dead in an unusual way. Also no! Skeletons belonged exclusively to men the same age.

Maybe pagans killed Christians or Christians killing Gentiles? Does not work, because the apostates were to accompany their wives and children, have been victims of religious intolerance in those days.

In addition, such actions on the posthumous writing corpses character merely confirmed cases of vampirism. Such a large group of vampires who acted in one place, not even in Transylvania. At least we're on the do not know. The year ended with a terrible time finding does not bring anything new, despite the hard work of archaeologists and other scientists.
