10 Chilling Stories Of People Who Were Buried Alive
6. Neysi Perez
The fact that Honduran teenager Neysi Perez was buried alive is tragic in its own right, but when you learn that she was three-months pregnant at the time, it becomes an even more saddening story.
After suffering a panic attack outside her home due to a sudden burst of gunfire, Perez began foaming at the mouth, at which point her parents - believing her to be possessed by a malevolent spirit - contacted a priest to carry out an exorcism.
Unfortunately, the 16-year-old Perez became lifeless shortly after, and was taken to a local hospital where she was declared dead.
After she'd been buried in her local cemetery for around one day, Perez's husband - Rudy Gonzales - told TV news channel Primer Impacto that he heard muffled screaming and banging noises emanating from his wife's grave.
When the girl's family went to investigate the situation, they found that the glass viewing window on her coffin had been shattered and her fingertips were badly bruised, both results of her efforts to escape her premature grave.
Perez - who was still slightly warm to the touch - was quickly removed from her coffin and rushed to hospital, where, sadly, doctors could find no signs of life. She was later reburied in the same cemetery.
