Oh My !
I am so glad I only came across this in daylight, it would have scared the pants off me. I have heard of the bell, and the scratch marks on coffin lids. I am terrified of being underground but I am more scared,of he of the forked tail getting me, or even worse that limbo land called purgatory, so as a Catholic I have to be buried.
I have left a very comprehensive list, and no I am not making this up, of brain stem death tests that have to be performed on me before I am placed in a casket.
I am not being neurotic, well maybe a little bit, I just want all all bases covered. !!!

Yes, I'm Catholic too Fiona, and I remember the Church discouraging us from being cremated. Something about needing our bodies intact for the Final Judgment. If it helps you any, my Mother was staunchly Catholic (my Dad is too) and she was cremated. Her urn is interred over at Crown Hill Cemetery in a mausoleum.
However I plan to be buried when I die. The idea of my body being placed in a furnace and reduced to ashes gives me the creeps. And if I wasn't actually dead before I'm embalmed I'll certainly be dead after I'm embalmed. So there's really no way I'll go into the ground still alive.
Boy, how did we get on this cheery subject anyway? I think it was my fault when I posted that story about the man inside the tomb. :-\
:laugh:
It can be an interesting subject just as long as we don't let it depress us.
I posted this once before, but I'll post it again. It is morbid. But funny.
RIP Popeye. :'(
The spinach finally got him.
