BURIED ALIVE 2/4 A Victorian Premature Burial Case

[misterneckbreaker88]

fucking americans, just shows if the americans dont want u to know about something ... they have there ways.

[kimarve]

scary :s

[Griffo515]

I guess you could say he was in Grave danger...

[TheTEAMBUTLER]

This is why im getting burnt

[momzilla57]

if you are afraid of being buried alive or embalmed.......make sure they due an EEG on your brain wave activity.....my grand mother had mysthemia gravis and that was her greatest fear that decreased respirations would not be detected upon her worsening condition and be pronounced dead........

[Suppressingfire]

omg this is giving me creeps, its so horrible to buried alive. GhostWatching u got some really great vids, tnkx for sharing..

[PennyTraition]

I have the book 'Buried Alive'. Edgar Allan Poe of course wrote a famous story, 'The Premature Burial'...He was himself a narcoleptic and had a terror of being buried alive. There are numerous stories of similar occurences,in crypts etc. Of course, the force of gasses being expelled post mortem can throw the corpse over; women have also given birth in coffins. There were the 'air-tubes' and bells to ring as a 'precaution' against such errors...One can only hope it was over quickly.Hair-raising..

[klusekpl]

I have read that same claims about premature burial cases are exaggerated - body position and scraping on the inner side of the coffin lid could result from the fact that bodily gases tend to burst after death which may rearrange the position of the corpse or even burst its ribs up so that they damage the coffin.

[aymenkid]

WHy do they bury them so low in the ground...They should bury them like 20 cm below ground so that if they are alive they can climb out.

[Rawc90]

@aymenkid Really think about that, then message me back and il explain why if you dont work it out :P

[aymenkid]

@Rawc90 I guess it would be scary to see a zombie coming out from the ground?

[gailoftheblackrose]

@aymenkid so you dont smell the body decomposing.

[wingituk]

Having watched someone very close to me 'die', I can tell you that these people who pronounce 'death' are morons. All you will see is ,clay'. Their mortal remains. They are not 'here', they've gone.

It would've be better to have educated these doctors/nurses/ambulance crew on what a cadaver actually looks like instead of someone simply ceasing to breathe.

The majority of these stories are from long ago. Medical teams are much more aware of the actual status of the truly passed. Don't worry.

[MisterBlinkyTheGreat]

@wingituk listen; the people in this time buried alive were already dead, scarlet fever, typhoid, smallpox, B plaque, whooping cough, influenza, tuberculosis and worst of all cholera; were running rampant, nothing could stop them, you caught it; youre a dead man breathing simple as that, they didnt know how to prevent or cure it. They were so shit-scared of contagion especially regarding cholera. pretty sure they knew what a cadaver was, but when disease was this lethal, it doesnt matter.

[Tinyoak2]

Poor george....it's a miracle though considering the time period that they didn't behead and stake him once he opened his eyes.

[evpinvestigations]

What a horrible way to go.

[dsrtflwrorig]

There is an old story told in my family for many years about a woman who died of some kind of fever and was buried. When others got the fever they went into some kind of coma and then most of them would become well soon after that. Some began to think maybe this woman had been in a coma when they buried her and perhaps was buried alive. They dug her up, and she had re-arranged her hair. They had her hair piled on top of her head for burial, but she put it in a braid. She was dead by then.

[fusionhunter]

How did George survive for hours without oxygen? Imagine the feeling of hearing your own funeral. Damn

[ThreePipeProblems]

@fusionhunter There must have been some oxygen left in that coffin. And seeing how he must have been breathing slowly and thus not taking in large quantities of oxygen could be an explanation.

[fusionhunter]

@ThreePipeProblems Dead within 20 minutes and before you would black out.

[morningloryism]

I heard a story about a guy that went to a funeral. He saw the corpse opened her mouth then closed it...then opened it again and closed it. He didn't said anything to anyone. I'm not sure if it's a paranormal experience or she was really still alive (since I dont know if her organs were removed). She was buried the next day.

I want to be cremate when I'm dead. I'm afraid of waking back up and plus, I have a fear for tight space.

[pvsg1990]

@morningloryism I NEW SOMEONE WHO TOLD ME THE SAME THING HE SAID THAT THE GUY LAING DOWN GOT UP AND THROW UP. THEY ALSO LIKE YOU SAY OPEND THEIR MOUTH THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE DEAD SOME CELLS ARE STILL ALIVE AND MAKES YOUR BODY MOVE.

[redskull83]

@morningloryism but what if when you're being cremated you are still alive and they think you're dead? Isn't it also scary because instead of suffocating you'll be burning.

[rigaflr]

bloody hell George you were so lucky

[BrandonJay1983]

Only if they would have known the 1" punch technique like Kill Bill......

[MsBMTHdis4ea]

waht dude this stuff is crazy! the stuff the government covers up..geeez!! crazy stories to tell to ur granchidlren...when their old enough lolo

[the23enigma133]

yep i kno now that if i am buried i want a mobile phone with me.

[fusionhunter]

@the23enigma133 You wouldn't get any reception lol

[jStevieO]

[calvins48]

lol, american government lying and covering things up again.

[HaddenTheGreat]

Oh my goodness George Hayward! You were a blessed man!

The American war stories are horrendous!

[imnotgonnadie1549]

damnnn

[CLOVERCITYY15]

ALL THESE ARE PREEEEE BURRIAL....NOT ACTAL...DUMB

[nofameatall]

@CLOVERCITYY15 what you qouteing from?!?!?!

[silentfades]

poor guy really suffered from post tramatic stress

[ltuomela]

man there is no excuse for so many buried alive in ww2 i mean wtf man wow!

[TonjeMt]

this is my worst nightmare , and it has actually happened !

i'm gonna eat healthy and exercise and live forever now :p

[bsacagawea]

My great uncle was in the US army during WWII. He was at Battle of the Bulge where he was assigned to be a grave digger and stack the dead in piles. After the war he told his sister (my grandmother) about an incident where he discovered a man in one of these piles that actually gained consciousness shortly before he was to be buried. Scary stuff, man! I can't even imagine...

[originalperloocko]

6000 people!!!! Holy fucking shit!

[Carmarthan415]

oh thank god these stubborn doctors would dig up a freshly buried corpse to prove himself right!

[Libramoon77]

I've often wondered since our brains are the last to "die", what if we can still feel during the first moments of death, like being paralized. Or even more horrible, we continue "feeling" for days.....Is it possible, I wonder, for our soul to become trapped inside our dead body? Morbid, I know, but it's something to think about.

[amberlights1]

@Libramoon77 I like to think that what people who have had near-death experiences have said, they feel nothing but absolute peace, see a bright white light, & loved ones who have died. I believe that our souls leave the body the moment of death.

[ray1244]

thats some creepy shit .. im 16 and i dont know why im watchin this xDD

[ididyourmom1001]

@ray1244 im 11 lol

[jpmcruiser95]

*shudder shudder*

[1martuska]

As long as the body IS NOT EMBALMED you may have a chance , but once they embalm and bury or cremate the body , than no one will know. I wonder how many people have NOT been embalmed and than cremated. I can't imagine what goes on during those horryfying moments , and for those who were NOT embalmed and buried alive, I can only say that there is probably nothing worst than dying the way they did.

[netzero26]

George is one lucky guy!

[simonsteam]

A cremation can take a minimum of 40 minutes up to an hour and half. even then the remains need to be put into a machine called a cremulator to grind the bone fragments into ashes.

[irishbrodie]

1-3 hours depending on body size.

[bosnia91]

why doesn't the american embasy in London want to comment? the premature buried people had relatives show some fucking decency and inform them!

[MsBellaroma]

pretty much how loud can I yell

[MsBellaroma]

this is my biggest fear.... as I am going to be cremated ....... what happens if i wake up and im already in the kiln .

[EOINC8]

then your fucked! lol

[Garghoul30]

Either way, youre dead.

[kanwulfNL]

@MsBellaroma Then u are in big troubles.. May god have mercy upen thee

[tubofbologna]

immagine being the family and receiving notice that your son/relative that was just buried is now alive!@

[angelinsatin]

omg how scary

[amymichellestone]

I lived next to a very old graveyard when I was in my twenties. There were several graves that had bells with chains attached that ran into the ground. Of course, they were rusted, but still recognizable. Morbid but very practical, especially in the 17/1800s.

[bonnieblue1122]

does anybody remeber that little baby that woke up at his funeral not that long ago!! he woke like just in time! thats scary poor children :(

[cleancut170]

yeah that was in april.. poor baby

[TeeLuvsEire]

Burials happened years ago in my grangmothers day here in ireland that should not have been and years later a neigbour of ours would tell stories of when he would be moving old graves out of the way and find the coffins all scraped with nail marks and the body turned right over in some coffins. SCARY STUFF !!

[Dix994]

true that such signs were seen, but they have been explained - decompostion/air built up in the body can make it move, even turn, and I think they attribute the scratch marks to decomp. as well. In reality, their is only enuff air in the average sized coffin for someone to live for a very short time, probably no more than a half hour if buried underground.

[ZaoHuZhua]

Half an hour if your highly active. Enuff air??? It isn't easy to move in a coffin plus your laid on your back even inflation from decomposition couldn't do it. What about fist shaped dents in the coffin and being turned face first, how would you explain that?

[TheOobster]

Did it happen that ppl were accidentally buried alive? Yes. Did it happen all the time? Prob not. Look it up, read what has been said about decomposition and oxygen in a small space

[TheOobster]

It amazes me that this could have happened - wasn't this George still warm and flexible? Death has a physical quaility totally unlike life, I just can't believe that doctors could make this kind of mistake.

[Garghoul30]

For one, this must have been very long ago, and two, also there are comas.

[Dix994]

I just recently heard that cholera victims go thru a stage where even while still alive, their bodies become very cold when in a coma state. There was a huge problem burying them too soon.

[repelghosts]

Thus the old expressions "Dead ringer"...Saved by the Bell and "the graveyard shift"...all very true.The watchers of the cemetary made up these expressions...the string died to the deceased finger, etc.

[TeeLuvsEire]

YES TRUE, thats where it all comes from.

[angeldustxiii]

wow I can honestly say it isnt surprising but it is some thing i never really thought of before.

[mmedefarge]

It happened a few years ago. A woman who apparently committed suicide in her bathtub (the old Roman way, slitting your wrists in a tub of warm water). She was taken to an ER and pronounced DOA. She was then bought to the a funeral parlor for embalming and just as work was going to be done to drain her blood and replace it with embalming fluid, she started to move and moan. She was taken to the hospital and lived.

[lovec0]

sooo then she stopped tryin to commit suicide?

[mmedefarge]

I have no idea. Most likely after she was medically stable, she was taken to the Psych Ward; that's usually SOP. Maybe she was a Manic-Depressive who was on depressive mode & didn't take her meds.  Who knows?

[rochelimit55555]

omg imagine your grandparents are one of the those people who scrape the coffin, AAGGH I can't stand it

[sheriwhispers]

ok all I have to say to the last guy on this vid is my grandfather knew of a guy they were getting ready to cremate when his big toe started to move thereby halting the process geez totally creepy buried alive eekkkssss !!!

[paulreyes63]

these is horrible...

[traktorimees]

i want granade next to me when im burred alive lol

[Victoria37]

LOL!Me too!

[phon084]

lol

[kakoi8017176414]

Jesus!!!! I`m so scared now. He was buried and brougth to live again.

[ExitMuSlC]

My house is from the 15-1600's and there was a fire at some point where many things were scattered among the woods. We dig around for pottery and such, but one day we found a brass bell with a hitch at the top. We took it to a specialist and they said that it was an alarm for someone to use if they were being buried alive.

[jarvisel]

Gaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

[theblacksister]

that's where "saved by the bell" comes from.

[Existantia]

wow, thatd make sense!!!!!

[TeeLuvsEire]

or dead ringer.

[randomname123ish]

@theblacksister That is an old myth it is actually about boxing. The more you know. :)

[lllkathleenlll]

@ExitMuSlC that is a nice story! and if your house is that old.. i want to see it! *_* i love old architectural structures..

[AltairEgo1]

@ExitMuSlC

Oh yeah I've heard of those. Smart thinking; They accepted the limitations of the medical science of their time.

[Tyannalyn]

@ExitMuSlC O_O

[Alilrebelchick]

@ExitMuSlC Wow!!! What a find. Of course it means that someone is buried around your house.... ;)

[ADyingFaith]

@ExitMuSlC Wow very cool and very terrifying too.

[jo979]

Scary as hell. The American war graves tory is horrendous! I understand now why, in the old days, people were asked for a bottle of poison to be placed beside them when they were buried. Maybe I'll write that into my will...

[Existantia]

Wow!! Really? I didnt know that!!

[TeeLuvsEire]

lol ! put u out good and proper !

[Garghoul30]

Maybe you should just write: I want to be cremated.

[krisish00d]

You want to be burned alive?

[bloodriotiori]

@jo979 that really is scary 0_o can you imagine that? You wake up, find yourself in pitch darkness, suffocating by the lack of air and starving to death literally? I'd want a bottle of poison too sheesh.

[angelinsatin]

omg how horrable

[mabakiel666]

If there were such things as live burials, the victims would not have suffered for very long - they would have suffocated without regaining consciousness.

But what about live cremations...! Good God!

[Airox2009]

Eventhough a cremation alive would be scary as hell, it would "only" last about an hour. Being buried alive must be the worst of all by far.

[DocBrewster]

an hour? Wouldnt a cremation last just minutes? I hear there's a real roarin' fire going back there behind the curtain?

[Airox2009]

In Switzerland it takes roughly an hour. I read that it takes 1.5 - 3 hours in the states.

[thesanantoniokid]

Well, it's not exactly a pilot light, but it still takes a long time to reduce a human body to ash. Even after the cremation's done, they tumble the burnt bones around in a kind of spindryer contraption to break them up. End result looks kind of like coarse gravel.  Obviously you'd be dead within moments though.

[Gunluver1]

I fucking had a flash back about something like that!!!!

[bacardibreezer7]

As in, a past life memory?

I firmly believe that the reason many people nowadays have fears of being buried alive is because they WERE, in previous lives, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries when these sorts of medical errors were more common.

[Gunluver1]

I remember when i was 8 and 15 i had 2 dreams, dream #1 was me opening my eyes then i was in a coffin i started freaking out trying to kick it open but ended up just getting tired then pushing and then crying then getting harder to breathe.Dream #2 i woke up freezing and it was dark i started scream and kicking and then a man pulls the tray thing i was on, i was in a morg. I was naked didnt know what was happening and couldent beleive i was alive he checked my heart/breathing then i faded out...

[NESHero]

Umm.. No

[bacardibreezer7]

I'm sorry, what part of my comment are you saying umm...No to? :)
