Idk about you guys but this story is funny to me:lol1:

S.African 'corpse' wakes up, scares off morgue staff: report - Yahoo! News

A 50-year-old South African man thought to be dead woke up in a chilly morgue on Sunday and shouted to be let out, scaring off two attendants who thought he was a ghost, local media reported.

"His family thought he had died," health spokesman Sizwe Kupelo told the Sapa news agency.

"The family called a private undertaker who took what they thought was a dead body to the morgue, but the man woke up inside the morgue on Sunday at 5:00 pm and screamed, demanding to be taken out of the cold place."

This caused two mortuary attendants on duty to flee the building in the small town of Libode in the rural Eastern Cape as they thought it was a ghost.

After calling for help and returning to find the man alive, an ambulance was sent to fetch the man who had "been exposed to extreme cold for nearly 24 hours" said Kupelo.

He said the public should not assume that a sick person had died and contact a mortuary, the report said.

"Doctors, emergency workers and the police are the only people who have a right to examine the patients and determine if they are dead or not

Yeah, I'd still be screaming if that were me.

Wowww that is crazy! lol. I wonder how many people were buried alive back in the day?

Creepy amounts. Seriously, if you don't feel like sleeping starting looking it up.

I told my friends to just leave me lying wherever they find me. At least until the cats have decided to try a nibble or two.

I just think the idea of the mortuary attendants hearing something they think is paranormal hauling ass out of the place. I would've loved to see the look on their faces.
