Re: the Zombie Graveyard. Is it possible that these people were buried alive? Were they bound?
‘Deviant burials’ are sometimes associated with demonic possession and the revenants (deceased) or the ‘walking dead’ often tended to be people who were outsiders in society.
“In this case, the stones in the mouth might have acted as a barrier to stop revenants from coming back from their graves,” explained Mr Read.
One of the men was between 40 and 60 years old, and the other was a younger adult, probably between 20 and 30. The two men were laid side by side and each had a tennis-ball-sized rock shoved in his mouth.”
Hmmm. Two guys buried together with rocks in their mouths?
Perhaps this was just the Viking way of letting them get their rocks off forever.
