This was customary way for Bulgarian medieval tradition to deal with people which were presumed to be vampires.

According to Pravda,  ”It is hard to say whether the owners of those skeletons could drink blood. However, the finding testifies to the practice, which was used in Bulgarian villages right till the first decade of the 20thcentury. According to pagan beliefs, the hearts of evil people would have their chests and hearts pierced with iron rods during their funeral. People would also nail up their coffins not to let the dead return for the blood of the living, Interfax reports.”

      Seeing as the only remains are bones, no hearts were discovered, they would not know if they had been stabbed through their hearts. And far from being an iron rod the artifact looks exactly like a rusty knife with a wide blade.

      more illuminati manure to go with their cannibal meme.

      Its because there were cases of people who had been dug up for whatever reason and it was found they had been buried alive, perhaps they had been in a coma. However they believed they had in fact “come back to life” but they had not been dead in the first place, add that to the myth and legend of vampires and you have “fear” So they “staked them” to prevent them “coming back to life”. One wonders how many comatose people had been killed by this practice.
