DNA detectives have discovered the identity of a long-dead vampire found buried with his arms in an 'X' shape across his chest more than 30 years ago.
Experts say the remains, discovered in Griswold, Connecticut, were those of middle-aged man John Barber. He suffered from tuberculosis which causes sweating, weight loss, swollen neck and coughing up blood.
The DNA detectives believe paranoid locals suspected vampirism at the time of Barber's death and was reburied so he couldn't feed on the living.
