"he remains of a young child buried face down with a triangular padlock under the left foot have been discovered in the same cemetery in Pień, northern Poland, where the woman buried with a sickle over her neck and a padlock on her toe was found last year.

A triangular padlock was found first loose in the topsoil. The subsequent excavation of the area revealed the grave of a child around 5-7 years old at time of death.

Her "vampire" punishment was even worse; They buried her without her smart phone.

No, seriously, there was a PBS "Secrets of the Dead" episode on that graveyard (but no mention of the missing smart phone. ;-)
