#1 Brighton Dama Zanthe

As mourners passed by their loved one laid out in a coffin, they got the shock of their lives as Brighton Dama Zanthe started moving and wriggling around. The man, 34, from Zimbabwe, had been ill for several months before dying last year. Co-workers, family, and friends screamed and ran out of the funeral home in horror thinking Brighton had come back to life to haunt them, something the people of the area believe in. After he was finally taken to the hospital and placed on life support, he returned home after 2 days and was no longer sick.

#2 Li Xiufeng

She hit her head in what was considered a fatal accident and plans were made for a wake in her home for family and friends. Li Xiufeng was 95 years old when her neighbor found her motionless and not breathing. The day before she was due to be buried, her neighbor went in to pay respects only to find the coffin empty. She had woken up, struggled out of her closed coffin, and gone into the kitchen to cook. However, as per Chinese tradition, everything she owned was burned up!

#3 MaNdlo

She was serving a client when she collapsed and stopped breathing. Her client was convinced she had dropped dead and called the paramedics to the hotel she was working out of, where they rushed in and examined her body to state that she was indeed dead. As they were loading her corpse into a metal coffin, she leaped up and began screaming, "You want to see me dead!" The paramedics nearly dropped dead themselves when the naked hooker got off the ambulance and ran down the street into an alley and disappeared. A bunch of gawkers were so shocked that they sprinted away as fast as they could run as well as her 'John" who was kind enough to call police before leaving the scene.

#4 Lyudmila Steblitskaya

This Russian grandmother has been brought back from the dead, twice! Lyudmila Steblitskaya was pronounced dead and placed in the morgue, where she stayed for three full days in 2011. Her daughter went to visit her in the hospital only to be informed that she had passed and was in the morgue. Being a Friday, she would not be able to see her mother's body until Monday. The daughter made funeral arrangements for that Monday but when she went to collect the body at the hospital a nurse told her that she had just spoke to Lyudmila earlier. The daughter located her in her room, sitting up on the bed where she told of her long sleep in the morgue. Two years later she was pronounced dead once more but woke up a few hours later.

A South African man was pronounced dead after suffering an asthma attack and the undertaker came and took him to the morgue, where he spent 21 hours. The 80-year-old man was placed in the fridge where he woke up screaming and going berserk. Morgue worker Ayanda Maqolo was shocked and called the police, afraid it was a zombie. After the undead man was taken out of the fridge, he was sent to a nearby hospital before being discharged.

Her own funeral killed her. A 49-year-old woman from Russia who was mistakenly pronounced dead and, while she was at her own funeral surrounded by sobbing relatives, she woke and sat straight up in her casket.

He was placed in a body bag (that was reportedly airtight) for three hours, and a wake was held for the family later that day. His aunt was visiting the body when she said he started to move, at which point he sat up in his coffin in front of the whole family, and asked his dad for a drink of water. The family thought they were getting another chance with the boy, but unfortunately, he immediately lay back down and died again. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead for a second time.

#10 Val Thomas

Val Thomas, a woman from West Virginia, suffered multiple heart attacks and didn't even register brain waves for over 17 hours. She had no heartbeat, no pulse and yet after all the cables had been pulled she miraculously woke up and started talking to nurses and family even though rigor mortis had begun to set in. She was then taken to a special clinic and checked and put on a respiratory machine that cools the body temperature down then warms it back up gradually. After the process, she was fine and is still alive.
