Vampire found in Italy



Researches unearthed a skeleton in Venice, Italy of a female Vampire, from the 16th century. She was discovered with a brick stuck between her jaws, as an attempt to stop her from feeding on victims of the plague that hit Venice during that time.

Archeologists are having a field day. This is their first such discovery. Of course, they explain that this woman "was not" a vampire, but it proves that people did believe in them at the time and this was a common ritual performed.  As if a brick could really stop a vampire?

Researches state that it also proves how limited people's knowledge was at the time regarding body decomposition and all that jazz...

More on vampires another day - I have to go pack.
