Vampire of Venice

इसे यह भी कहते हैं: Lazzaretto Nuovo skeleton, vampire woman of Venice
लोककथा और मिथकमृतमुश्किल से हिलता है1500 से 1899

The 'Vampire of Venice' is the skeleton of a plague victim found with a brick wedged in her mouth. Her excavator argued that she had been taken for a shroud-eating corpse of the kind German folklore calls a Nachzehrer, and silenced with the brick. Other anthropologists reject the reading, and the dispute was aired in the Journal of Forensic Sciences. Whether or not the brick was deliberate, the case shows how hard such beliefs are to prove from bones alone.12
