On several occasions, particularly on the periphery of the Habsburg Empire during the 17th and 18th centuries, dead people were suspected of being revenants or vampires, and consequently dug up and destroyed. Some contemporary authors named this phenomenon Magia Posthuma. This blog is dedicated to understanding what happened and why.

Cheers for that, Niels. Much appreciated.
I can see why any confusion may have sprung up. After all, even I did a double take when I saw the extraordinarily similar name on your blog! I almost thought I had stolen something from you, without realising it.
But, of course, once clarity rapidly restored, I knew who the culprit was. It's just such a shame he's come here to pollute your excellent blog.
