A suspected vampire would be incinerated or dismembered to prevent their return. Other preventive methods included deep buried burial, prone burials, and tying, staking, or pinning corpses with stones.<ref name=":0" /> These types of burials have been discovered in numerous locations, including Egypt, Greece, and Rome.
