An apparent anti-vampire burial was discovered in Sanok, a city in southern Poland, in 1986.
After two years of excavation, the remains of forty men were discovered, most of them partially destroyed.
[2] The burial was dated based on another part of the site from where some medieval pottery and modern coins had been found.
The original hypothesis that the remains were an executioner from Sanok was not supported by the relatively modest size of the skeleton.
[3] Anti-vampire burials are characterized by incomplete skeletons, lack of goods and skull missing or located between legs.
