Field of Vampires -
secrets of the dead

Wed, Oct 30 10:00 P.M. NHPBS (11.1)

A terrifying discovery: A skeleton dating from 1650 buried with a sickle across her neck and giant padlock on her toe - double protection to keep her from rising from the dead. Whoever buried her was petrified of her returning from the grave. All the evidence is she was buried as a vampire. She's found wearing a silk cap with a gold headdress. Inside her mouth, which was green and possibly the result of poison, is a leather pouch with writing on it. And she's not alone, ultimately, more than 50 deviant burials around her. Who was she? What did all of the burial rituals mean?
