I haven't looked at the video yet, but I think it is hilarious that this man came in with a story about the exact same subject you posted a few days ago. Did he show up with this story out of the blue, as it seems by your description?

I just think it's funny, because you just posted a thread, "to those who fear being buried alive," and that's  so recently.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I love the story and it really is amazing. The thing that bothers me is IF this happened to me and I was still alive I would have told the world like a maniac. I would have contacted the local tv stations, the news stations, I would have fully documented all of my information all together, death certificate, dna tests or other tests and documentation to prove that I am in fact the dead person. I can guarantee this would be on the news because they would jump on such an amazing thing. I would even let people have my social security number, anything, just to prove that this actually happened.

Unfortunately hard evidence never seems to exists in extraordinary cases such as these...

Do you have such evidence? I would be interested in viewing it. Very Very interested!

Aren't people examined closely before they are burried and injected with embalming fluid? Wouldn't embalming fluid kill a person if he or she wasn't already dead? It may be that the man Juditha spoke with told a story.

Below is the embalmimg process as described on wikipedia:

"[edit] Modern practices
Embalming as practiced in the funeral homes of the Western World (notably North America) uses several steps. Modern embalming techniques are not the result of a single practitioner, but rather the accumulation of many decades, even centuries, of research, trial and error, and invention. A standardized version follows below, but variation on techniques is very common.

The first step in embalming is to check that the individual is in fact deceased, and then verify the identity of the body (normally via wrist or leg tags). At this point embalmers commonly perform basic tests for signs of death, noting things such as clouded-over corneas, lividity, and rigor mortis or by simply attempting to palpate a pulse in the carotid or radial artery. In modern times people awakening on the preparation table is largely the province of horror fiction and urban myth. Any clothing on the corpse is removed and set aside and any personal effect such as jewelry is inventoried. A modesty cloth is sometimes placed over the genitalia. The corpse is washed in disinfectant and germicidal solutions. During this process the embalmer bends, flexes and massages the arms and legs to relieve rigor mortis. The eyes are posed using an eye cap that keeps them shut and in the proper expression. The mouth may be closed via suturing with a needle and ligature, using an adhesive, or by setting a wire into the maxilla and mandible with a needle injector, a specialized device most commonly utilized in North America and unique to mortuary practice. Care is taken to make the expression look as relaxed and natural as possible and ideally a recent photograph of the deceased while still living is used as a template. The process of closing the mouth, eyes, shaving, etc is collectively known as setting the features.

The actual embalming process usually involves four parts:

"1. Arterial embalming, which involves the injection of embalming chemicals into the blood vessels, usually via the right common carotid artery. Blood is displaced from the right jugular vein. The embalming solution is injected through a mechanical pump and the embalmer massages the corpse to ensure a proper distribution of the embalming fluid. In case of poor circulation, other injection points are used.

2. Cavity embalming, the suction of the internal fluids of the corpse and the injection of embalming chemicals into body cavities, using an aspirator and trocar. The embalmer makes a small incision just above the navel and pushes the trocar in the chest and stomach cavities to puncture the hollow organs and aspirate their contents. He then fills the cavities with concentrated chemicals that contain formaldehyde. The incision is either sutured closed or a "trocar button" is screwed into place.

3. Hypodermic embalming, the injection of embalming chemicals under the skin as needed.

4. Surface embalming, which supplements the other methods,especially for visible, injured body parts.

A typical embalming takes one to two hours. An embalming case that requires more attention could take longer. The repair of an autopsy case or the restoration of a long bone donor are two such examples."

Either way, these are the types of "coincidences" that I love dearly. I know it must have startled you, Juditha.

If people weren't embalmed they would start to stink and decompose. Funeral services would be quite goolish. It is hard to imagine it would be a matter of legal requirement.

I never thought of that Juditha, people having their fear of being burried alive put to rest.

Hi Juditha.
Obviously this guy had some kind of experience that he needed to talk about. When and what might be interesting to ferret out. I've noticed that lots of people seem to have past lives bleeding through to the present in strange ways. On the other hand, if he has the two certificates, that puts him in the present.

While embalming fluid would probably hurt like the very devil, as it killed us, the draining of blood beforehand sounds like a good enough idea to protect us from being embalmed alive. - But if he had been preserved instead with ice there's a possibility of live interrment. For the corpse to get up again would certainly make for a lively wake!    -  ooooh - bad pun!

Hi, Judetha our Dave is very sharp. So I retract my belief in his story However he might have had a real experienced that he has embellished or the story is  total fabrication or in other words he was lying.
