Back from the dead! Just as Peng Xiuhua, 101, of Lianjiang, China, was lowered into her coffin, she suddenly sat up and demanded to know why so many people were in her house! Patients with Alien Hand Syndrome have an arm that they believe is moving of its own accord and is out-of-control- sometimes attacking them! Hummingbirds can only store enough energy to survive overnight!

when Peng realized that she had woken up at her own funeral, she said was very pleased with the turn out. She said: “I am a lucky woman. Not only did I get to see how many people care for me, but I also woke up before they took me to the crematorium.”

When my Grandmother was a girl, she was at a funeral where the supposedly dead girl raised up in her casket and asked her Father if it was raining. It was. She laid back down. Robert E. Lee was born some years after his Mother was buried for 3 days and someone walking through the graveyard heard her screams.The main reason for embalming was to make sure people were dead before burial.It’s actually pretty hard to determine if a person is dead.

Do they not do any kind of embalming or other preparations to bodies in China before the wake?

Every once in a while, we read about someone in the world who woke up at their funeral. Apparently it was more common in the old days for people to be accidentally buried alive, judging from scratch marks inside coffins. The story that really interested me was the woman who briefly awoke and then died of shock at the sight of the funeral. How do you continue the ceremony from there?

I read that hummingbirds can store enough energy in the form of fat to power a migration across the Gulf of Mexico, so I dont know how true that one is
