'Dead' woman found breathing in coffin

The topic of many 18th-19th century patents.

And horror stories like berenice by the great edgar allan poe.

A wake was to listen for bells:

The linked Wikipedia article (although interesting) doesn't seem to mention wakes, and the Wikipedia page on wakes [1] claims that this idea is a misconception.

Yes, it wasn't started to listen for this situation, it's just funny to me that there were extremely rare occurrences where people did wake up...

I suspect this kind of occurrence, while being an exceedingly rare occurrence, is yet far more common than what we dare to imagine.

Nightmare fuel for sure.

Perhaps the most terrifying headline I've read in a while.

No quality controls at coffin manufacturers. /s
