Buried with a padlock on her foot and an iron sickle across her neck, “Zosia” was never supposed to be able to come back.

Entombed in an unmarked cemetery in Pień, northern Poland, the young woman was one of dozens feared by her neighbours to have been a “vampire”.

“It’s really ironic, in a way,” said Swedish archaeologist Oscar Nilsson. “These people burying her, they did everything they could in order to prevent her from coming back from the dead… we have done everything we can in order to bring her back to life.”

Nilsson said he wanted to bring Zosia back “as a human, and not as this monster that she is buried as”.

  1. I always wondered – how do they recreate the eye and hair colors? Like is there some scientific carbo-something or more like history and sociology?

  5. Why is my neigbor’s daughter considered a historical artifact? I just saw her!

  12. I’m surprised they didn’t make her black like they did the cheddar man

  14. She looks a little bit, but just a little bit like Greta Thernburg.
