Just imagine one day you're mourning your friend or loved one at their funeral that's when all
of a sudden they wake up this may sound like something from fiction but believe it or not
it's happened many times in real life before from people everyone had thought had passed on
but they were wrong to people who faked their own passing and funeral just to see who would turn up
noella rakundo the story of noella roccundo made headlines around the world in 2016. she lives in
australia but one day she had to return to her home of burundi this was to attend the funeral
of her stepmother what she didn't know however was her husband had arranged a hit man to take
her out when she was there when noella arrived in burundi the hitmen grabbed her but when they
realized her own husband had ordered the hit they gave her freedom noella then returned home
however the hitmen told her husband that they completed the job that's because they still
wanted to get paid so noella's husband believing that she'd been taken out arranged her funeral
but he was stunned when noella confronted him at her own funeral later on her husband balenga was
sentenced to five years in prison noella then went on to start a new life with her eight children
it's crazy that this couple had been married for 10 years and then balenga decided to do that
thankfully the hitmen were outraged otherwise noella would not have left burundi alive
but just imagine the look on her husband's face when she shows up at her own funeral he planned
matthew wall this took place in the village of brawning hertfordshire england on the 2nd of
october the town came together for the funeral of local farmer matthew wall but on the way to the
funeral one of the pallbearers dropped the coffin that may sound like a bad thing but it's actually
a great thing that it happened that's because the jolt was enough to wake up matthew wall
matthew the farmer then went on to live for two more decades and his coming back to life is a
continued celebration for the village of brawning it's not known if he was simply sleeping or in a
coma but his vital signs were checked many times and he was confirmed to not be alive it's kind
of scary hearing this it makes you wonder how many people are buried alive gilberto arujo
just imagine if your entire family thought you'd passed away when in reality you're alive and
well this is what happened to gilberto arruyo of brazil in 2012 he was confirmed to not be alive
this was after his brother identified his body at a local morgue his family members and friends
were all standing around his coffin mourning him but that's when gilberto turned up at the door so
what happened well it turned out it was a case of mistaken identity gilberto arujo worked at a car
washes in alagoyenos brazil at that same car wash another car washer had been taken out the other
car washer looked a lot like gilberto and that's why gilberto's brother mistook the car washer for
him i'm guessing the two brothers weren't that close or maybe the other car washer was hard to
recognize from his injuries either way his friends and family were shocked when gilberto walked into
his own funeral but this must not have only been a shock for his family but for him too just imagine
being alive when your entire family thinks you're not nisiphorous glycos nisiphorus glycus was a
bishop working at a church in lesbos greece that's when one day he was found and declared to not be
alive in accordance with tradition his body was left on display in the methymne church but after
two nights of his body being on display something scary happened nisiphora's sat up and demanded to
know what was going on it turned out he was alive and well he said he'd simply been having a long
nap but others believe he may have fell into some kind of coma local medics had checked
his vital signs and confirmed he was not living as he was in this ancient church some believed
a miracle had occurred while others thought perhaps it was a bizarre medical phenomenon
muhammad rahan one day mohammed rahan of damascus syria was at a local market that
was when there was a big airstrike nearby the local market took the force of the blast for
whatever reason he was reported as passing away it was said he was buried under the rubble and
sadly did not make it but that was only half true his friends and family organized his funeral and a
few days later with nobody this went ahead but his friends and family were relieved when he turned up
just as his funeral was coming to an end muhammad had been buried under the rubble for 36 hours
but eventually without a rescue team he was able to free himself when he walked into the funeral
there was still debris stuck in his hair and beard just imagine if you were his loved one it would
have been an emotional roller coaster hearing he'd passed on and then finding out he was okay

legs began to move and it was clear that walter was alive he was taken to a hospital and it was
confirmed he was in fact alive but this respawn sadly did not last too long that's because two
weeks later he passed away for real his nephew was quoted as saying i think he's actually gone this

they pass on again it may sound like fiction but this really can happen this is known as lazarus

actually fine he was rushed to a hospital and placed on a ventilator the 20 year old had been
involved in a road incident and apparently his family were only told he was not alive
when they stopped paying the hospital bills because they ran out of money this prompted an
investigation into the health care system of the state of uttar pradesh his older brother said the
family had been left traumatized by the roller coaster of emotions and frankly i can see why
zhang dien zhang diyang was a 66 year old man from china but one day he had an idea to stage his own

needs their graves are supposed to be visited on a regular basis to ensure these needs are met
it turned out that 40 invites turned up to zhang's funeral along with several hundred
