#GRAVE

Archaeologists excavating a church in northern Poland have discovered a centuries-old skeleton buried with a sickle around its neck, a burial method used to prevent the dead from returning as vampires.

Archeologist have uncovered two 13th-century children's graves, with one exhibiting the characteristics of an 'anti-vampire' burial.

A French court ordered a Belarusian performer to leave the EU after he tried to dig up Vincent van Gogh's grave in an attempt to “bring the artist back to life” on the 134th anniversary of his death.

Archaeologists have unearthed what they say could be one of the longest burial mounds in Europe.
