A medieval "vampire" burial has been found in Croatia .

The grave was excavated last year at the archaeological site of Rašaška , about 70 miles ( 112 kilometers ) southeast of Zagreb .

The person in the grave had been decapitated, with the skull placed apart from the other bones.

The burial could indicate that the person had been considered a "deviant social person" when they were alive.
