In February, the man’s 76-year-old son-in-law decided to take a teensy trip to visit. But when he arrived at the house where the man lived in the town of Radlin in southwestern Poland, he was greeted by a disturbing sight.
According to the Polish Internet newspaper Nowiny.pl He must have found his ex-brother-in-law wandering around outside. The 76-year-old looked like he wasn’t fully present, so the man called an ambulance.
Inside the house, a shocking discovery awaited him.
Commute by bike
On a sofa in the living room, facing the TV screen, a mummified corpse lay on top of a huge stack of newspapers. All newspapers date back to 2009.
Joanna Smorczewska from the Public Prosecutor’s Office was able to confirm the discovery of what turned out to be the man’s mother. She passed away in January 2010.
– It has been proven that the grave where she was buried is empty, says Smorczewska according to Nowiny.pl.
It is believed that the 76-year-old, who lives just under 300 meters from the cemetery, may have taken his mother’s body home on his bicycle.
– It is likely that the man dug up my mother’s body immediately after the funeral and then embalmed it, and that the body has been in this house since 2010.

The body is said to have been in “excellent condition” when it was found.
– Marcin Felsztyński said in the Public Prosecutor’s Office: – Everything indicates that the man must have used some chemicals to embalm the corpse.
– The smell of mothballs was overpowering, he continues.
The 76-year-old man is accused of desecrating a corpse.

Go out at night
The locals in the small town are in shock at what has emerged. The old man is described as a recluse who avoids all contact with others.
– I’ve lived here for many years, but I don’t know if you’ve ever seen him. Everyone knows each other, but no one knows him, one woman tells Nowiny.pl.
Many say the man only came out after dark. A local man says he remembers how he and his friends were afraid of being alone as a child.
– When it was late and we saw that he had gone out with his bike, we ran away. The man says that people here call him a “vampire”.
