Consumption, during the earlier years where often mistaken to be a
vampiric manifestation. One reason why they are often attributed to the works
of the undead is that a little is known about the sickness and that there is no
cure on it during that time, making it a mysterious illness.
In the year 1870, a prominent person died in Neustatt-an-der-Rheda,
Pomerania, which is northwest of Poland. Franz von Poblocki died due to
consumption and was buried on the churchyard located in Roslasin. After only a mere two weeks, Anton, the son
of Poblocki also succumbed to the same sickness. Immediately after, relatives and people close
to them suddenly got sick and complained about being attack while they were
sleeping.
Other family members started speculating about the idea of vampire
manifestation. They sought the help of a
famous vampirologist, Johann Dzigielski in hopes that the attack on the family
will be stopped.
Dzigielski decapitated the head of Anton and placed it between the legs
of the corpse and the body was buried.
He then ordered the people to exhume the body of Poblocki. Poblocki was also decapitated and his head
was positioned on the same way as Anton.
The priest of the local church complained about the process that
Dzigielski took since desecration of the grave is highly prohibited on that
time. Dzigielski was apprehended and was placed into trial. He was sentenced to serve four months inside
the prison cell. The family appeal the
case and fortunately the presiding judge were a little superstitious and
acquitted Dzigielski on the charges.
