I think you're referring to porphyria; It was mentioned earlier in the thread. I don't think it causes a thing for blood, but the sufferer's teeth, gums, fingernails etc can turn a rusty reddish-purple colour and so it does look bloody. I've never heard of any porphyria sufferer digging up corpses, either, but the condition is associated with mental disturbances and changes in personality so i suppose it could happen, if they got it in their head that they should. I'm not sure how physically debilitating the disease is, so it might not be possible for someone with it to do that much strenuous digging.
