A Gruesome Discovery in Rural Poland

Season 22 Episode 2 | 2m 50s

Residents of the rural Polish town of Pień have long avoided a particular hill in the village – and in 2022, a team of archaeologists led by Dariusz Poliński and Magdalena Zagrodzka learned why. They discovered the body of a woman buried with a sickle across her neck, and a triangular padlock attached to her toe. Had they dug up a gruesome crime scene – or evidence of the supernatural?

SECRETS OF THE DEAD is made possible, in part, by public television viewers.
