Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing corner of the internet!
I am Rebecca Felgate, your Most Amazing Host, and today we’re getting creepy and freaky
as we talk about the top 10 times people woke up at their own funeral.
Blimey.
Before we get into the video, I just want to shout out our sister channel – Life’s
biggest questions, which I also host for.
We cover loads of science questions, like What if Earth was Sucked into a Black hole,
and loads of History questions like What if Hitler had won world war two.
Join us over there if you want to hear some big answers… but..back to this video.
Preparing to say goodbye to a loved one is sad and intense at the same time, but imagine,
as you were in the process of saying goodbye, your loved one woke up….
That is one frightening surprise.
Join us as we talk about ten people who seemingly did just that.
10 - This Three year old child “WOKE UP” at her own funeral in the Philippines.
In 2014, a three year old Filipino girl appeared to wake up at her own funeral.
Video footage was shot on the camera phone of a guest attending the funeral service and
was posted on youtube.
The footage was watched over 15 million times.
It is pretty sad though, as although it seemed like the toddler did wake up, it was a rare
muscle spasm, and she was indeed dead all along.
Sadly a quack doctor at the funeral said she was alive, so her parents took her home only
to find she was still dead.
Another sad story at number 9 This two year old bot woke up at his own funeral
in Brazil and asked for a drink.
The boy had died the day before of pneumonia.
Hours before he was to be buried, he sat up in his coffin and said: “Daddy, can I have
some water?”
He then lay back down lifeless and was declared dead a second time.
His parents do not know what cause the sudden life relapse, but sadly it was fleeting.
His funeral was delayed by an hour amid the confusion, but then eventually was completed.
This man woke up, only to find his whole family were having his funeral without him… we
have Gilberto Araujo at number 8 Giberto woke up one day to discover that his
whole family thought he was dead.
There had been a *** in the Brazilian town the 41 year old was from, and sadly a car
washer had been killed.
Gilberto was indeed a car washer, but it seems the victim had been someone who closely resembled
him.
His brother even identified the body, claiming it was his sibling.
The body was returned to his mother and the funeral was taking place as Gilberto walked
in to tell his family he was actually alive.
It seems people were very very shocked.
While it was a happy day for his family, sadly there was still a dead body who belonged to
someone.
What is worse – waking up at your own funeral or waking up during your own autopsy?
Ask Carlos Cameojo, who did just that.
This is coming in at number 7 In 2007 Carlos was declared dead after a highway
accident in Caracas, Venezuela, however he woke up when he was being cut into during
his autopsy.
He said: I woke up because the pain was unbearable.
As his wife arrived to identify his body, she found her husband in the corridor.
After Carlos recovered, he had his picture taken in the newspaper holding his autopsy
request document!
A similar story at number 6… this Polish man died from drinking too much ***, only
to wake up in a morgue then return to the pub.
NOSTRAVIA.
25 year old Kamil fell ill at a tavern in Kamienna Gora, Poland.
He collapsed and an ambulance was called and he was pronounced dead.
His friends kept drinking as they mourned his passing, meanwhile Kamil woke up chilly
in a morgue fridge.
He made noises until a guard came to rescue him, after which he asked for a blanket.
Rising up from the dead, he was checked over and released from hospital.
He went home via the pub to surprise is friends.
Some gossy drama here at number 5 This woman turned up at her own funeral after her huband’s
assignation attempt on her life failed.
In 2015, Balenga Kalala tried to have his wife, Noela, murdered as she attended her
step mothers funeral in Burundi.
Noela was abducted, but her captors had a change of heart when they realised it was
her husband who wanted her dead and how upset she was about it.
Noela returned to Australia where her and her husband lived and turned up at her own
funeral to accuse him of her ***.
He was later arrested and sent to jail…which is totally fair.
Noela said that she was standing up like a strong woman.
A ye – olde…and ye-happy story at number 4
In Braughing, Herfordshire, England, residents celebrate two things: one, their famous pork
sausages, and two, Old Man’s Day, the day a local farmer rose from the dead at his own
funeral.
On the 2nd October 571, Matthew Wall was laying supposedly dead in his coffin as he was being
carried into a church for his funeral.
One of the pallbearers slipped on a wet leaf and dropped the coffin, waking Matthew.
He then banged on his coffin, asking to be let out.
It seems he had fallen into a coma after an epileptic fit, but he had woken feeling fine.
He then lived over two more decades and married the year following his near death experience!
This is a terrifying story at number 3….this Russian woman woke up at her own funeral and
then died from shock.
49 year old Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov was declared dead in 2011.
As her funeral was taking place, she started screaming in her coffin, realising she was
about to be buried alive.
The shock was too much for the woman, who then had a heart attack and died.
Her husband was distraught, saying doctors could and should have been more careful and
that they could have saved her.
Which…yeah..fair.
This teenager woke up on the way to his own funeral at number 2
17 year old Kumar Marewed was bitten by a stray dog and ran a high fever.
Doctors at the Indian hospital he was admitted to told his parents he was going to die if
he was taken off life support.
The teenagers family told the doctors to take him off life support and took his body home
as he was presumed dead.
Fortunately for Kumar, as he was in the car on the way to the funeral, he opened his eyes
and wiggled his arms and legs.
He was taken to a nearby hospital and put on a ventilator.
It turns out he got a nasty infection from the dog bite and needed further treatment….
But he was very much not dead.
Finally…at number one…I am all about this story - this 95 year old woke up in her coffin,
climbed out and started making lunch.
Grandmother Li Xiufeng suffered a head injury at her home in Guangxi province.
She was considered dead and placed in a coffin – which was kept unsealed as to allow for
visitors to pay their last respects.
The day before her funeral, as family members were congregating to view her corpse, they
found her casket empty!
They then found the oap cooking lunch in her kitchen.
She told her family 'I slept for a long time.
After waking up, I felt so hungry, and wanted to cook something to eat.”
Doctors say that she suffered an artificial death.
Li may have woken up before she was buried, but her possessions had already been burned,
as is customary in China ahead of funerals.
So ….what a romp…..a really dark dark romp with several sad endings.
Intense.
