Well no wonder. He looks like a vampire

Well, he was most likely a farmer murdered for not being protestant.

so they dug his bones up and placed the thigh bones over his chest to prevent him from walking around should he come back to life as a vampire-zombie and start killing everyone!?

interesting that he died of tuberculosis. he would have coughed up blood toward the end. I wonder if that played into the idea that he was a vampire... i.e. often have blood around and in his mouth.
