Vampire Burials Anastasia Garceau 2013

Written fall 2013, this paper describes some cases of the deviant burials practices throughout ancient and more recent history in the hopes to prevent the creation or return of any believed "vampires".  These grave are interesting forms of deviant burials, as individuals are singled out in a heightened sense of necrophobia rather than carrying out such apotropaic practices on the whole community. The “vampire” has had different attributes lost and gained in different places and over time, but at its essence it has remained, for the most part, the unwelcome undead. However, the methods for preventing them are similar wherever and whenever, as can be seen in the physical remains and in the folktales that describe how to keep the dead in place.

==Summary / Abstract==
The concept of vampires and mortuary practices that are practiced in the attempts to keep any perceived restless dead from returning from the grave are interesting forms of deviant burials, as individuals are singled out in a heightened sense of necrophobia rather than carrying out such apotropaic practices on the whole community. The “vampire” has had different attributes lost and gained in different places and over time, but at its essence it has remained, for the most part, the unwelcome undead. However, the methods for preventing them are similar wherever and whenever, as can be seen in the physical remains and in the folktales that describe how to keep the dead in place.
