Woman wakes up inside own coffin after being declared dead

JEEZUS ON A POGO STICK!!

thats like something out of a horror movie.

Some years ago, I was told about a crew having to move a local old-time cemetery to permit a highway to go through. From what I was told, one casket came open and the corpse inside had her arms folded up like she was trying to open the top.

I have always doubted that it actually happened, but if it did happen, those who told me about it would have been likely to be on the crew.

This was so common in the 19th century, safety coffins had bells that a person could ring if they woke up buried alive. Saved by the bell.

When I was a kid once I read something about people getting buried alive and it kind of freaked me out. One night we were camping and I woke up in our trailer and it was pitch black and and all I could feel was a hard, smooth surface that made me think "coffin". But I'd been sleeping in the special bed inside the trailer and it was just the wall. But my heart really sped up until I realized this.

I heard later that people once believed that when your heart stopped beating, that's it, you were dead. But thanks to modern medicine doctors now know a heart can be massaged back to life, so being buried while still alive is now very rare. At least I hope so.

I'm pretty sure being buried alive was a bigger concern back before embalming was a common practice.
If you've been embalmed, there's zero chance of making it to your coffin alive.
