The Mystery Of The Vampire Skeletons Buried In Ireland | Vampire Skeletons | Timeline

- In summer 2007, at a site in Ireland, archaeologists were uncovering layers of graves. They were astonished to find two skeletons with large stones lodged in their jaws. This was exceptional; all the other skeletons in the cemetery had been normal Christian burials.
The archaeologists believe that the skeletons were treated as if they were ‘revenants’ - individuals who might return from the dead to prey on the living. The film attempts to discover who these people were, how they died, and when the stones were forced into their jaws. It’s a fascinating journey first into the medieval mind, and back to our earliest fears of the undead.
And we come up to date, with an interview with a Romanian villager who saw his neighbours cutting the heart out of a corpse that they believed to be a vampire.

Just image. Some poor unlucky guy fell hitting his head and went unconscious. Quack doctors said he died and buried him. He woke up later and clawed his way out of his grave. He was happy to be alive. However, villagers thought he was a revenant and killed him for real. That type of thing could cause all these rumors of undead running around.
Wow I almost died thank god I made it
Superstitious villagers
Kill him!!!
A lot of people were buried alive...had nothing to do with quack Dr's. Just that they didn't have the equipment to actually confirm death. Even today we have the occasional "dead" person waking up in a morgue.
It's part of why we embalm people..if they aren't dead it kills them
Burying people who weren’t dead but simply unconscious or comatose happened quite alot.
@@sherrymoore1343 How awful would it be to be buried alive with a cage on top to protect from grave robbers? That is if you even were able to dig yourself out.
@@CChissel it would have been truly horrible. But, that’s why the started tying a string connected to a bell to the deceased toes. If they woke up the grave tenders would hear the bell and dig the person up. I’m sure many a bell got ignored because grave tenders were too lazy to dig the person up.
The intro to this made me think they were going to show us exhumed skeletons with vampire teeth, lol.
same :D i was looking for that in all the video, shame haha
...and now that people have seen those pictures, they're going to believe skulls with teeth like that really did exist.
That would be interesting. And they could pull out the stake to examine it and then . . . lol
@@colehampton4579 True they will.
Same.
There might be another, more horrible explanation for this.
In the 17th century (I believe) the magistrate of Edinburgh decided to dig up and open all graves, out of a suspicion that people had been buried alive.
To their horror, they discovered that a large portion of the dead - I believe one third - were alive after the burial. They were found in distorted positions, or lying on their faces, and some coffins had scratch marks where the people had desperatedly tried to get out.
After that, it was decreed that there must be a death watch of several days, during which the person must be observed, and only when there was no sign of life, he or she could be buried.
That's the explanation behind the death watch.
There are other jurisdictions that came to the same conclusion. Later in England, there started being a bell that could be rung by a person inside a buried coffin.
@@user-io9ie5cs8jI'm not sure there would be enough room to ring a bell. A small bell would not be very loud either.
@@patriciajrs46 The bell would be outside the grave. The occupant could ring it from inside the coffin via a string that reaches all the way up.
@@user-io9ie5cs8jEdgar Alan Poe wrote he would like to have that type of bell. For reason mentioned above, coffins had scratch marks inside
@@cryssstalz You're right, and that's a scary thought....
The sheer glee of that one professor describing bodies exploding underground and how some bodies got nailed...dude made me giggle.
He might be a good archeologist but he is a total creep!
I'm not sure if time travelers are real or not but when I was like 4-5 years old, my father had an accident and went to this old Hmong medicine man for help. His wife had killed some chicken for us to eat. Within the week that we were there, my father and the medicine man were very enjoy of eachother's company and he told my father about the future about our people. All of the Vietnam war incident had came as said, but the most amazing thing that I remember was that he said in the future people would talk to and see eachother with a handheld mirror-like device like they are so closed together like us now together, but in reality, they are so far away from eachother, llike the other side of the world. Just like our cellular phones today. Still amazing to me because during that time the medicine man was holding me in his arms and claimed and told my father that they might not see it because of their age but for sure I'll see it.
Wow but i cannot remember anything from when i was 10
@@ea8600 Maybe childhood trauma? I have blanks in memory at certain points of my early life when trauma occurred.
@@ea8600 it carry’s fit people like I have memories from when I was 4-5 because it was a traumatic time
My grandmother talk about it too when i was a 5 year old child. It was in year 1990. He said about people will be talking to each other in device seeinh each other but very far away in the physical, She said it while holding a postal mailed letter from a friend that took 3 months to be delivered and utter such ideas of what we call now a "cellphone". I wish she was alive now and seeing her visions come true, but then again she might be reincarnated by now somewhere.
how much did he charge for a quarter
So as a person with awful eyesight. I couldn’t imagine what people thought they saw without glasses!! Could you imagine the oddities you would swear you saw. I have walked around a whole day without my glasses. It was the most distorted strange day of my life! Imagine if most things people thought was just lack of actually seeing
Something to think about.
That’s a great theory actually
Relatable 😂
Yeah that coupled with being told nothing but stories of demon, hellfire and eternal flames your entire existence must make people from the dark ages absolutely mad.
I totally second that - I'm very short sighted, especially when it's getting dark I'd be lost without my glasses!
Not sure how I ended up here, but this has been a delightful 45 minutes for a Monday evening.
Agreed! It is amazing how powerful fear, superstitions, and misunderstanding natural science can lead people to overreact. Not to mention over active imaginations. One fact remains, if one searches for whatever it is they all search for, they will inevitably find that which they seek. Not necessarily with good results.
My roots are from Eastern Europe, and many of these customs I have seen firsthand. In my village, before the funeral, there is some cloth pinned on the right shoulder with very long needle, then there is one nail going trough the hearth, and one nail trough the left heel. In some other places, deceased is nailed with a wooden stick trough his hearth and rooster is slaughteret on the place and coffin is sprinkled with rooster's blood.
But there are funny stories about vampires. In one case, young man died and left behind woman and two children. After 40 days, her dead husband started to come in her room every night She complained to her father in law. He said he will go with her that night and wait for that vampire. With a bat. When vampire entered the room old man landed hit in direction of his face, vampire quickly run away. Next day their neighbor had broken nose.
Professor Horton is cracking me up! I’ve never seen anyone so excited about corpse bones. 😂❤️
I know he truly is ecstatic! "I've never really ever seen anything quite like ittt!"
@@mariagrace817 seen "ancient aliens"?
He's so enthusiastic! I bet he's a great teacher!

I spent days looking at this site......fascinating.....
I wonder.... Could people who contracted Rabies be part of the reason for vampire mythology? If you think about the symptoms of Rabies and the aversion to water and the "crazy" behavior with the urge to attack and bite other people/animals.... It could very well seem like vampirism. . . 🤔🤔🤔
That is a very valid possibility that I haven’t heard before. That would be an interesting hypothesis to look into
@@saintlybeginnings6296 It dawned on me while watching this video and thinking about how little they knew about viruses and germs and such... It made me wonder how much they actually knew about rabies and it's symptoms... I would love to see someone follow this hypothesis and see if it has any validity.... ☺️
Perhaps and the fact that people were buried alive often.. "dead ringer"
@@thefreestylefrEaK Yes, but what STARTED the superstitions? It very well could have been rabies in people and people buried alive... It's a good possibility.
The medieval people knew about their livestock and animal diseases (including rabies) better than most modern people know today.
SPOILER🚨 There are no skulls with vampire teeth. That was just clickity bait
Yes brother
I saw ciken flying
Bram stoker invented the Dracula character who who had long fanhs. Irish Vampires were never documented with long fang like teeth
The salem witch trials documentary i watched when i was 16 was sooo awesome. It told how a farmer harvesting his wheat didn’t notice or care or understand the patch infected with ergot fungus. Ergot was used to derive lsd. The baker bought some wheat and baked some bread. Some unfortunate few who ate the bread started hallucinating. It was blamed on witchcraft. Even other people who was having the same symptoms were judged to be witches via a witch cake. Woman who’s tripping is forced to urinate on loaf of bread, so bread infected with ergot, biproducts in bloodstream from ergot, and she was free to go if dog showed no symptoms. Most of the poor dogs ran in circles and chew on rocks until they were toothless. Sad deal all around.
Where can I get some of this bread?- for research purposes.
@@mdhaynie if you find it first let me know lol. I do know with mimosa hostilis root bark, naphtha, and acetone you can have a shorter experience but way worth it. Death of the Mother Tree
@@mdhaynie they died from it, don't do it
Just finishing having wee I’ll send you a loaf 😆
Yes, they were tripping on acid laced bread during the Salem witch trials. 😊
While the comparisons to Romanian beliefs were interesting, as an Irish person I would not have used the word "identical" to compare them as they did in this program. Druidism is more complicated than fear of ghosts/zombies. I am grateful that in the end they put these bones back to rest in peace.
Interesting that there no Irish professors interviewed! Another point were the invasions taken into account. !!!
I think you have grounds for these points.
This was interesting enough to watch on its own merit without having a thumbnail of a skull with fangs if you really didn't find a skull with fangs don't show it on a thumbnail
Yeah, they're presenting evidence of vampire teeth, of skulls that do not exist. They are lying.
The male archeologist, Mark gets very animated and almost a sadistic thrill describing the details of the brutality. Chilling.
That's what I thought.
nah it's just passion and interest in his work, i bet its so fascinating hands on
“sadistic” and “chilling” … for merely having passion with their line of work - passion that led you to be able to watch a documentary about it, at that.
jfc I’d hate to know what some of you think about surgeons and their line of work if you’d ever have to hear what they say about the things they see during operations lol, some even joke about it - the horror!
Geez ... that professor is plain gleeful about the gruesome finds!! I get loving your work ...
13:52 Gotta admire somebody who brings such a gleeful attitude to their work.
I love Professor Horton's enthusiasm! His excitement is contagious!!! He reminds me of a history teacher I had years ago ❤️
Richard Attenborough
i found him maddening
he's just really damn creepy
m pretty sure he acts the same way as hes unzippng a boys pants
Oh, did your history teacher have BEAUTIFUL TEETH perhaps ?
NO, WRONG, many of us do NOT have an "obsession with vampires!" But MANY of us wonder why your skeletons have such beautifully HEALTHY TEETH!
and WONDER why our dentists charge so much as they claim they're helping us with a thing called "dental HEALTH? ha. AMAZING SKELETON TEETH!
After I read the title of vampire skeletons, I immediately thought, "How can this be, vampires are supposedly immortal?".
I love what the farmer, Mr Burke said! His thoughts on how his land and its past belong together express my own feelings so well! The nature of our land makes it beautyful, its history enhances this beauty and makes it priceless to us. I too believe that now, as they have been extensively examined, the bones of the dead should be returned to where they were intended to be laid to rest. God bless you Sir.
That would devastate many European museums who continue to hold the remains of people from around the world in the name of “education “.
I agree with this too.
🎉🎉
"We couldn't have been more wrong." A man with humble humility. Very interesting history, but I'm so thankful for not living in mid-evil times. You were either bewitched, accused of vampirism, or a changeling from a faery!

I hope the mortician removes the gluteus maximus and attachments, places them securely into the hands of the deceased politician and includes a detailed report of the misdeeds and crimes committed. That way, whenever future archeologists dig him/her up they can exclaim “Well, he got his @$$ handed to him in the end!!!”
Honestly MTG looks like a vampire witch eww both her and Pelosi both look like undead fiends haha
The most sensible word to ever said was with the landowners son. Bring back the remains and give them peace once and for all.
I am surprised, from a medical and archeological stand point, that when handling ancient bones, gloves would not be used. Maybe those images were recreated later.
I thought the exact same thing.
That was my thought as well.
Especially if u think your dealing with a vampire what if u get infected
I feel like they are using props for the actual footage personally. Wouldn’t there be a lot of risk having a whole camera crew of people go into a facility with priceless artifacts and remains that are being intensely studied? A lot of it is probably recreations and dynamic poses/shots, ya know the whole “movie magic” thing
From my understanding, I've only really studied about books, is that sometimes gloves do more harm than good. Since you can't manipulate the object as well as you can with just your hands because of the thickness of the gloves. Which could also risk damaging the object, but then again this is only in regards to books I'm not so sure about other objects.
What's disturbing is that scientists know how gruesome the person died and some of them are smiling from excitement.
True nerdieness, but the world is a better place because of them.
I mean the person who became the corpse got over it long ago id imagine.
Hi my name's Chris I noticed exactly what you meant by his excitement off some poor soul god bless em Im also gonna give you a tums up 👍🇮🇪💯

Recap by Tammy AI
Ireland, England and Scotland are extremely spiritual places. They are surrounded by water and water is a natural conductor for spiritual energy. There are soooo many mysteries regarding these areas. My dream is to visit these areas one day where my ancestors came from ♥️.
spirit doesn't need water to " conduct" it.
Visit the Hill of Tara in navan where the high Kings of Ireland used to be crowned the place is on lay lines you can nearly feel the energy as you walk around it also newgrange is very close by it's older than the pyramids
May Eriu / Eire ( the original name of Ireland) and us fellow Irish welcome you to a living piece of your past and the home of your ancestors ❤ may she grant you peace and health and happiness & good luck & prosperity ☘️🍀
Buddhism IS NOT a monotheistic religion. It's not even a theist religion, it's a philosophy. Where do you find these so-called experts?!
Medieval years was a brutal age. Getting executed by a false accusation happens very often. Even reading a book of some sort can get someone into trouble.
So how about accusing someone as a Vampire because someone of authority say so?

As an Irish person raised in traditional Catholicism, I found this video to be all kinds of interesting. Excellent work!!🤓🖖
Is there another form of Catholicism now other than traditional? I've been somewhat lapsed for 4 decades as thr traditional variety usually involved me getting beaten by the clergy.
Well the last Catholic church is probably closed in Ireland...
Here in philippines specially moro people had belief that if a person die we need to guard the graveyard for 7 days its because of if there is no guard the person had alreay died he will comeback to life and he's going home because of his hunger he will go too that kitchen and checking some foods and if there no food he probobly eats you and it was so freaking creepy

Many of us have seen images of strange cryptids...tiny skeletons, few inches high to full sized, with horns, with wings, sharp teeths in a vertical setting...fairies...
...and something could look like a vampire as well...
I'm fascinated by these topics.
Those little folk live on our family farm down here in Florida. I think I saw one once- it did not have wings or horns that I saw, it just looked like a hella fast little fella who stood about as high as my kneee
My son who was 8-9 years old at the time of his encounter was lying in his bed while my wife and I were across the hall in our bed about to go to sleep . I was just about to fall asleep when I heard the most terrifying blood curdling scream coming from my sons room. I immediately jumped out of bed and ran into his room where I saw my son up against his headboard shaking and as pale as a white sheet. I asked him what happened and he said he saw a small skeleton figure walking next to his bed coming at him. At first I was a bit suspicious of his claim until it happened again a few nights later and it was the same exact claim he made prior. Then weird things started happening around the house and we got out of there as quick as we could. He swears up and down to this day that little skeleton figure was coming for him. I could make a detailed video over his claims but I’m sure no one would care lol
@@clintaudette3683 I know two people that never met told me they saw miniature people in the same area of hills and woods where we played when I was a child this small wooded area is less than a quarter mile from the saint John's river.

@@Slayer-tv8ub I'd love the hear or read your account. I research this type of stuff.
@@robertblackshear8963 are you talking about the St Johns River in florida?
The only thing I'd ever seen and heard of in terms of vampires that was truly interesting is when a Navy Seal was placed on a mission with others like him and they raided a facility underground where one of his fellow spec ops people was bitten by a woman that he described as looking like a vampire. Teeth and all. It greatly disturbed him and his fellow soldiers. There were others there that appeared half human and half animal.
The Seal that spoke of this said that there is nothing that has ever scared him until that day, that mission. He was told to go and kill everything in sight as were the others.
If what he says was even half true, then this world is more fkd up than I thought.
Update: I'll try to find the vid saved in an old phone of mine. I just haven't gotten around to it. Many are asking me for it.
Also one thing to add to the story is seen is that the Seal mentioned he and the others killed the "lab" workers as well that were present.
Where can i read about this?
We're can I find that at
Sounds like a government operation run amok! Create some creature then when it could be a problem kill it!
Sounds like “FAKE NEWS” 😂
Just Because we haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There will always be people that claim it to be fake. We deny what we don't understand.
14:15 I bet this professor is an amazing teacher! His passion for this is just immeasurable!!
I love how in the face of this subject the comments section is full of people talking about rabies, comas, disliking “superstition”, the foolishness of our ancestors, apotropaic rituals for keeping the dead in their graves actually being punishments for “speaking out against The Church," etc.
The funny thing is that all such explanations are hypothetical at best and simple historical fiction at worst. It’s almost as if the idea of vampires still gets under our skins and we are trying to explain disturbing historical phenomena away with half understood hypotheses drawn from the prevailing intellectual attitudes of our time. You know, like our ancestors did. . .
I came looking through the comments to see if even one person had that thought cross their minds. You win. 👍😊

This is very interesting. I think folklore tells us a lot about the people who created it, their beliefs, and how they viewed the World and their place in it. Being surrounded by death as they were in those days and not understanding the science behind the decomposition of the bodies it's easy to see how some beliefs were held on to for centuries.
Modern man believes he is so knowledgeable and more advanced than all who came before us. This is all due to the fallacious historical accounts,mostly based on vague and speculative imaginations,that are repeatedly taught and constantly propagated,whiles presuming them to be factual. The Smithsonians, National Geography,Archeological Institutions,etc., All what they convey to the world are based on pure make-believe,as none of what they claim is of a real life experience or existence. Modern man is able to recount how the oceans came into existence,by just analysing a drop of sea water in their labs. But the thing is,they are totally incapable of making the sea,or whatever. These all-knowing folks would have really made the sea if they could,believe me. The vain-glorious loves to play God !

There are writings,mentioning the existence of Vampirism long before the 18th century. In the Testament of one of the 12 sons of Jacob,also known as Israel,he writes about tunnels of Cappadocia,today's Turkey,where vampires dwell. This happened in the Middle Ages. The history of vampires' is as old as creation,when demonic creatures roamed the earth. Adam the first formed man,was said to have engendered siblings with female demons. But Lilith is noted to be the first human vampire,when she sojourned in The Land of Nod after refusing to be in couple with Adam.
Modern man pretends as if the world only began when the liar Columbus imagined he has arrived in America.
Because you can't discover a place, when people are already living there, or can you ?
@Niko Niko
If you are that interested in the lore of vampirism,why don't you do a research about ancient Cappadocia and it's history of the Undead ?
Sad and scary. I feel sorry for the unfortunates suffering the persecution & being targeted as vampires and witches
At the same time vampires and witches warlocks masons secret societies their evil deeds and rituals witchcraft exist!
And they target us!
throw so unbelievably irritated uptempo and they become destructive by the power of uptempo alone , vampires are in my view WEAK the need sleep who needs sleep no one , people are used to nothing and are afraid of nothing I don't believe in vampires and witches , ITS NOT scary its sad .
Sometimes there be witches
today is more witches then ever....people dont believe in that or that Satan exit because they believe in false science today....there is a God and unvisible world...we dont see it because our visible spectrum is so small!!!!
Your videos make my 30 min on the elliptical in the morning so much easier to do. Thanks for the entertaining education!
Us: vampires don't exist.
Our ancestors: vampires don't exist... anymore. You're welcome
what strickes me is the state of these teath around the stone... perfect!
The teeth are literally in very good shape. I was surprised by that because of the way the rest of the bones were brown and the teeth still very White.😮
The professor can't contain himself. He is so animated and his excitement is palpable.
Nothing wrong with that
They could have done without the dramatic music it was actually louder a lot of times than the people talking.

Ive always wondered if the people who dug up old bones ever get haunted or cursed.
Imagine your walking home at night and someone with long fangs just chases after you
lead cups were a lot of the problem, when filled with alcohol it creates a chemical reaction and sends someone into a death like state. That's why the term Graveyard shift came about as they tied a string to their feet and linked to a bell on the surface and someone would be there in case they were buried alive. There are more situations like this I'm sure.
Poteen or moonshine was also an issue. The first alcohol out of a batch is methanol and can lead to a comatose death like state which is where the open casket wake came from and someone always remaining with the "deceased"
Yes, for when the person realizes they are buried alive they start ringing the bell, ( and freaking out I'm sure), to notify above ground workers that THEY'RE ALIVE! Dig 'em up!

The ruined cottage that was her home is still visible today and one must needs never disdain this woman even though she has repaired to the Hereafter
The most interesting thing about the fangs aspect of "vampire" skeletons is that many of those who had "fangs" could have simply been survivors of scarlet fever, like myself, and have pointed teeth as a result
How does scarlet fever sharpen teeth?
@@tgbluewolf if you have it when you're young enough it effects the development of the enamel of your teeth causing them to grow in pointed or jagged. In my case every tooth after the first four on the top and bottom are pointed and kinda sharp
I have a bit of that too!! Always liked my fangs🦷👀 Untreated strep throat can lead to Scarlet Fever, which was how I got it. I remember the quarantine. It was 5th grade.
@@mischagoss5708 yeah I've grown fond of my own fangs but sadly many orthodontists frown on keeping them pointed but I'm keeping mine

Irish people were afraid to leave their homes after dark it was reported by an English lady who travelled the west of Ireland..The unknown, gobblins,fairies,superstion and wolves had the better of their minds afterdark, as was typical of the world until the very recent times.
No, I think most of them feared being bitten by those great teeth.
Yes, I'm hoping they can produce a documentary on tooth decay prevention; such as, displayed in their skeletons' teeth here ?
Perhaps burying ones teeth in lbs of dirt had its advantages? I'v e heard chewing bamboo shoots sometimes works ?
NO, WRONG, many of us do NOT have an "obsession with vampires!" But MANY of us wonder why your skeletons have such beautifully HEALTHY TEETH!
and WONDER why our dentists charge so much as they claim they're helping us with a thing called "dental HEALTH? ha. AMAZING SKELETON TEETH!
I live in West of Ireland and I don't go out after dark cos no street lights! I bang my head on my own gate just putting my chickens away in the evening!
The banshee would catch a young lady out when she shouldn't be out at night.. It was the first contraceptive...
@@user-ww1yg1fq5r The banshee ( _An Bean Sí_ ) didn’t go around catching anyone. She was a fairy mourner. She gave certain high status families advance warning that one of them was going to die within the next couple of days. For example, sometimes the family would hear her wailing when their menfolk were away fighting which meant someone was about to die on the battlefield.
These creatures were often real and they still exist now.
Unbelievable that people believed there were witches, vampires, and werewolves.
naaah werewolves are just furries /j
They all exist
Imagine if some of these fears comes from a psychic predicting that they would indeed come back out of the ground, but it was a prediction of archeologists and it became a self fulfilling prophecy..
Once again we are given a very intriguing piece. Thank you! The comment on Purgatory is slightly askew, however. The Catholic Church teaches that those in Purgatory are assured of Heaven. They could not return to do harm as this would make them unworthy of Heaven. They could only return to ask for prayer or perform some good. There is a museum of artifacts in Rome that touch upon this.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Gives me hope in preserving teeth.

This video gives new meaning to ANCIENT DENTAL RECORDS and has inspired me to write a book; call it " The Last Tooth!"
Lol you are not going to make it out
In 1829, Dr. Johann Gottfried Taberger designed a system using a bell which would alert the cemetery nightwatchman. The corpse would have strings attached to its hands, head and feet. A housing around the bell above ground prevented it ringing accidentally.
anybody who has ever had to deal with a vampire infestation understands why the measures that were taken happened.
You have?
🤔
Seriously?
Have you ever seen the Count of St. Germain? Maybe you are from Louisiana?
Love this channel. Love the work.BUT
Music ALWAYS TOO LOUD over talk though!! No music, subtle, quieter unnecessary music please.
That burial site at the end of the video does look both tranquil and peaceful.
The awful and unjust way they died such sudden and untimely deaths is absolutely horrific! It is not surprising that some people would worry that they had reason to return and seek revenge for what happened to them!! Some believe if the death was sudden and violent they might return and not even know that they had died! I can’t imagine how awful it is to have lost a loved one to such sudden and horrific violence and then have the terror that they would return as a nightmarish monster seeking revenge on the living! It’s heartbreaking to think about someone mourning their loved one, and also being terrified of them at the same time!
Medieval age is really scary.
Perhaps the ones with stones in their mouth were speaking against the king or something, and the guy wrapped around the stone was an escaped criminal.
Nah.. they were definitely werewolves.
@@mikeappleget482 Im leaning towards shapeshifter .
It's possible. The group jumped to vampire pretty quickly
@@mikeappleget482 We should ask Taylor Lautner to verify such information
The ones that spoke against a king had no burial usually left out for scavengers or burned
Oddly enough it is true that these people rose from the dead even though they were buried in a deviant way. The archeologists have brought them back to life, but only because of the oddities of their burial.
What irony. The best way to ensure you don’t return from the grave is to be archaeologically boring.

Developers are still building over ancient, and even not so ancient, graveyards today. It is horrible IMO to desecrate the resting places of people that cannot protect their own graves. I love forensic science. I once wanted to be an archeologist, as did many a young person. Very interesting and informing documentary. Thank you for sharing it with us. I have experienced evil in person, so I do not discount any of the old stories. There is more going on in our world than we can imagine individually.
I don't believe the death of the flesh has any effect on the demons that indwell certain people.

@@owwwkinky But I don't think I'd want to relive them to talk about them. Best to leave that in the past...I don't want that demon to feel invited back. Put on the full armor of God!
You been watching too many Spielberg movies 😂

I love hearing and reading almost everything about Ireland. 💕Just not the constant wars that seem to have never stopped. The wars are just too wrong.😒

I believe if we are buried instead of cremated, then our bodies should not be encased in a concrete vault and casket that is air tight. I believe if buried, we should do so in such a way to allow the body to break down and return nutrients and minerals to the earth. Judt my opinion.
Rita Mills
I agree we are supposed to go back to the earth from which we came
Given long enough, you will be taken back by the Earth. 🌎
Perhaps those that came back, were buried when they were passed out drunk, knocked unconscious, or in a coma, taken for being dead, but then revived, only to probably be actually killed horrendously, to make sure they couldn't come back.
NAH. THEY KNEW WHAT DRUNK LOOKED LIKE.
19:00 "...they're seen walking around, sometimes in the form of...animals..."
What made the people who saw them, see some animals and think "omg that's John and Jane that died the other day!"?
Also I wonder if the funerary rites involved imbibing alcoholic beverages? That, combined with grief, might cause hallucinations.
Before I watch this, I work in Ireland and I know a fellah who has massive canines. It could be an Irish gene. They really are quite extraordinary.
May I ask of your profession?
@@markus1574 engineer. Semiconductor industry
@@Malc.Mclagan Wow, many thanks for people in that area of profession. So much of that technology makes the world turn. I ask because I’ve studied the macabre and dark things like Vampires for just about eighteen years. Now the gentleman with massive canines is probably just a recipient of lucky genetics. But do be careful.
it might be a celtic trait as people of portugal or spain can have them too.
@@theCosmicQueen which is of relevance because of the Iberian Celt population coming to Ireland 1500Bce (I think), the Q type language. And/or the story of the Spanish Armada which had to beach on the West coast. 👍
they can find 30 skeletons but can't find any of the babies buried in old mother and baby homes
There may not be actual vampires, but the vampire legend will certainly live forever.
But, there is a real vampire cult (here in America & elsewhere) that TRULY BELIEVE they are vampires & live a vampire life exorcist Fr Malachy Martin told us as he knew them.
@@1romancatholic Yes, I've seen documentaries about subcultures the world over that consider themselves vampires. Some of their adherents actually drink human blood, while others claim they practice a sort of "life force" vampirism, in essence absorbing the energies of other humans. Are they revenants, undead who rise from their graves, or the classic vampire who turns into a bat & cannot tolerate the sun? Of course not. The only real, true, actual vampires in this world are the vampire bats, & humans & other creatures whom they bite no more turn into another bat, than those bitten by mosquitoes turn into other mosquitoes. Thanks for your reply.
I find it amusing how people here in Asia believed in shape shifting people who sucked blood. There is a tribe in particular from whom no-one returned without a bit mark. This has been passed on from years and the tribes here have led mostly isolated lives.
@@Tannyller That is so true, friend. Vampire-like entities, ghosts, & beings such as the Yeti & Sasquatch seem to have consistent mythical histories the world over. I believe that legends of native peoples should always be taken into account, because SOMETHING occurred to bring those legends into existence. It may not be EXACTLY what the legends say, but something happened. For instance, the Native Americans & 1st Nations of the Pacific Northwest of N. America tell the legend of times when Thunderbird catches Whale up in his talons, then drops Whale into Ocean, which causes huge waves to wash over Earth. Scientists have used those legends to accurately pinpoint times & places of tsunami. There's always a grain of truth. Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Thanks so much for your insightful reply, friend.
@@Tannyller The The Tuatha Dé Danann a tribe in Ireland went underground with the arrival of the Gaelic tribes, emerging later as ‘Aes sidhe’ (the people of the mound ,fairy mounds)., now referred to simply as the Sidhe. They were said to be shape-shifting, emerging in many forms, even that of human form. In Irish mythology, we come across a number of stories about shape-shifting beings.
It wasn't Stoker, the historian even specifically said it was John Polidori, who she refers to as Dr Polidori. The work was called The Vampyre and was first published in 1819, so was during the romantic period.
Interesting factoid!
Polidori always did have a big mouth. There was no shutting him up about "that which should not be spoken of". That's why we had to...
uh, silence him permanently ♾
whoever did the sound mixing on this was clearly a vampire
This is an amazing documentary..Im just a bit bothered why they were not wearing gloves while holding the bones😅
Me too. I was quite irked by that.
Agree.
Think the same esp when some sickness may be in the ground of some
Wow... This was a good documentary! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Wow, your videos are very professional and extremely well made in every way. Have a blessed day brother!!
The Wolf
In philippines we called them "MARANHIG" a kind of high class immortal zombies
Interesting story tells us people's fear can lead them to do very brutal things.
After all, they are destroying a corpse only.
Just like the last 2 years showed us peoples fear can lead them to do very brutal things
Yes, for sure.
This is a fantastic documentary. Incredibly well done and interesting. I would LOVE to see more!

@Janitor Queen get em!
I have always been torn between the lore and the science of vampirism. Its a thin line between fact and what lies in the depths of our imagination.
The idea I came up with while watching this was that perhaps they were trying to deny them their resurrection at the end of days. Part of this suggested that they were oriented differently from the average internment.
Lol because the less that get to go with the Lord leave more spaces and therefore more chances for people such as the ones responsible for the decisions regarding the strange burials?
Collllldddd!
That’s an interesting thought actually….
CRAZY FACT. the man who played SHULTZ on hogans hero,s made arrangements to be taken to where he grew up because of so many fond memories of the place, and he was, but the cemetery owners didn't tell people that they were only renting the plots and their families would have to pay again in roughly 40 years for his plot, he didn't have family to pay it, a TH-cam explorer found his headstone at the edge of the cemetery in a long trench a while back and asked them why they had done it. Mass headstones were piled in the long ditch and they told him that when nobody pays for it they toss the persons stone and sale the plot again and put the new one on top of the first sometimes they removed the body and burned it to dust also , it's insane, Google it. , it's true
That man was talking about bodies exploding with such delight, it was a little worrying 😕
I bet a lot of people back in the day seen people come back to life because the medicine and health care we had was horrible so sometimes they didnt know why how the person became unconscious or if they where dead or just in a state that seems like death
I think this is accurate. I remember reading a story about a farmer who was knocked out. His grieving family set up the funeral arrangements, and then, the day came to carry the casket. The pallbearers accidentally dropped the casket, causing him to fall out and wake up. He lived for another while, before dying from the same circumstances again. He stayed dead the second time, and his family struggled to accept it, hoping he could still be alive like he was the first time. I'll try to find it, but it might be a while. It happened before 2011, that's when I read the book.
*saw people....
I love watching these kind of stuff in 3 or 4 in the morning
12:24 Why is the team handling the bones without gloves?!
They all transformed into vampires after the show was filmed
There are stories among American veterans of wounded troops who took on vampiric characteristics. If they were bleeding out slowly, they would try to drink blood when their volume got low enough. Once transfusions started they stopped trying to bite the nurses. Maybe that is what happened to those Irish and British folk. It sounds like they were warriors.
That's weird

@Janitor Queen Why?
@@itsallaboutthatbass8558 I suppose it's to do with spreading a false narrative, false information. Im not sure 🙄
I just want to know if the archaeologists were threatened in any way while they were digging up these graves? What was the response from the locals who lived nearby when they found out they were digging them up?
One would suspect the team had proper legal permission.
lol you can't be serious. these graves are several hundred years old, so the locals are modern people who don't bear the same superstitions any more.
@@theCosmicQueen The graves are quite old, this is true. It does not follow local residents would be indifferent to their being dug up, or they, the local residents hold superstitions.
She doesn't have to manually piece the skull back together. You 3D scan each fragment then let an AI run through all the iterations to see where each piece fits. The skull would be recreated in virtual space and if desired the researchers can use the data to do a physical restoration or just use a 3D printer to get a physical model.
Imagine if those people who exhumed the bodies and examined them were treated the same way after their death and considered after their exhumation as vampires because of their skin remained in well condition because of the autumnal time they were buried in.
Bram Stoker; being a Dubliner; knew of the interment and destruction of supposed "vampires" in his former homeland.

Im Irish. In my 50 years I havent heard of vampire myths connected with this country. Please link your evidence if you have such.
The only vampires in Ireland are more likely to suck down a cheap bottle of Jameson than blood. They do have an aversion to sunlight as well.
@@lionelhutz5137 There are some heavy drinkers in Ireland for sure, the same as there are heavy drinkers in Russia, Britain, France, Poland and the Nordic countries. The emphasis on the Irish as a race of drinkers comes from a kind of propaganda that was pushed by the British government long ago, but still persists. Propaganda is a great tool for control.
@@pauljamesleecryptocurrency9088
Correct.
I was born in Ireland of the 1950s.
Back then the dominant practice was that of Abstinence, not that of Drinking. When compared to the Russians for example the Irish "drinkers" were and are not in the same ballpark/shebeen. The London Gin Drinkers were a dedicated confraternity. Sláinte!
Don't most human bodies deteriorate to the point of disappearance? Is the ground composition there just perfect for keeping skeletons? I was just curious. Thank you for any help. Great video.
NO. bones are remarkably long preserved usually. Anyway this is only a few hundred years old. Takes a lot longer .
Thank you
Great documentary. Well done.
