Corpse springs back to life

Mourners at a recent funeral in Zimbabwe were caught by surprise when the guest of honor sat straight up in his coffin. According to reports, 34-year-old Brighton Dama Zanthe, the recently deceased man , Sprang back to life last week while friends and family prepared to pay their respects at his home in Gweru.

At first I could not believe my eyes but later realized that there was indeed some movements on the body as other mourners ran away in panic,” Lot Gaka, one of the mourners and Zanthe’s employer, told local  reporter. Luckily for the deceased there were no zombie hunters amid the mourners. I can guarantee that if this had happened here in Michigan, somebody would have stepped up and put a bullet in his brain.

Just in Time

Fortunately, Zanthe woke up just in time; his body was set to be transported to a funeral parlor later that day. After Zanthe “resurrected” he was taken to a local hospital, where he remained on life support for two days before eventually being released. Corpses springing back to life is, perhaps surprisingly, not an uncommon occurrence in Zimbabwe. Earlier this year, a woman, a local Prostitute who was believed to have collapsed and died during sex, sprang back to life and began screaming when placed in  her coffin. Apparently the dead Hooker had just fallen asleep on the job. On a sidenote, I wonder if the john got a refund.

Resurrections Galor!

In another “resurrection” in 2012, a Zimbabwe woman, suspected of being possessed, was rushed to a hospital after she stabbed herself with a knife and was declared dead at the hospital. However, she did not stay “dead” for long, as she “rose” shortly after. Either the dead are rising from deaths eternal slumber in Africa or someone really needs to start checking these Doctors credentials.
