Journalists examine a skeleton with an iron piece during a press conference at the National History museum in Sofia on June 14, 2012. The ancient skeleton of a man, pinned down in his grave in order not to turn into a vampire, piqued interest in Bulgaria this week, where vampire tales and rites still keep their bite even nowadays. The 700-year-old skeleton -- unearthed in the necropol of a church in the Black Sea town of Sozopol earlier in June -- was stabbed in the chest with an iron rod and had his teeth pulled before being put to rest.
