Rosangela Almeida dos Santos suffered from cardiac arrest in late January and passed away after being rushed to the Hospital do Oeste in Barreiras, a city in eastern Brazil. Her family held a wake in her honor that night and her body was buried the following day in a concrete coffin. Soon after, locals started reporting screams, moans, and groans coming from the tomb. Natalina Silva, a local resident who heard noises coming from the supposedly deceased Santos stated: “When I got there right in front of the tomb, I heard banging from inside it. I thought the kids who play around the cemetery were playing a joke on me. Then I heard her groan twice, and after those two groans she stopped.” Eleven days after her burial, family members attempted to save Santos. When they managed to reach the coffin, they noticed the nails surrounding the lid had been pushed outward and there was blood and scratches inside. The family reported the incident to the police and a spokesman from the hospital said they will “provide all necessary information requested from them to the family and authorities.”
