FIELD OF VAMPIRES

It will unlock the secrets of the extraordinary ritual burials of those suspected of vampiric behaviour, and explore why some dead people were singled out as being vampires. 

It’s 2022. There has been an awakening. A terrifying discovery. A skeleton buried with a sickle across her neck and giant padlock on her toe: double protection against her rising from the dead. Whoever buried her was petrified of her returning from the grave. All the evidence is she was believed to be a vampire. But this is just the start of the mystery. She is wearing a silk cap. A gold headdress. A sign of high status. A female Count Dracula? Inside her mouth is green. A possible sign of poisoning? She is a unique discovery.  Then there is another discovery… She is not alone. Five more ‘deviant burials’ are dug up – could it be a vampire family? And there’s more…

Field of Vampires documents an intense forensic investigation of ancient skeletons in mysterious graveyards, ground-breaking DNA analysis, and pioneering facial reconstruction techniques answer some of these fascinating questions…
