An 81-year old man in the Chilean village of Angol woke up in his coffin at his own wake. His relatives were very surprised.
One day Feliberto Carrasco's family members discovered his body limp and cold. They were convinced he had died. They immediately called a funeral home, not a doctor.
Carrasco was dressed in his finest suit for the wake. His relatives gathered to say their final goodbye.
"I couldn't believe it. I thought I must be mistaken, and I shut my eyes," Carrasco's nephew Pedro said. "When I opened them again, my uncle was looking at me. I started to cry."
The man who "rose from the dead" said he was not in any pain. He only asked for a glass of water.
Local radio stations also surprised listeners by announcing a correction to Carrasco's death announcement. They said the announcement was made too early.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
智利安戈爾鎮一名八十一歲老人在棺木中醒來,嚇壞了一旁哀悼守靈的親屬。
有一天,菲力柏托:卡拉斯柯的家屬發現他的身體冰冷且沒動靜,以為他已經去世,便立刻聯絡葬儀社而不是請醫生到家中來。
家人為卡拉斯柯換上他最體面的衣服,並聚集在他身旁跟他道別。
「我無法相信,我覺得一定是我搞錯了,我還把眼睛閉上,」卡拉斯柯的姪子裴德洛說:「當我再睜開雙眼時,叔叔他正盯著我看,然後我就開始哭了。」
「起死回生」的卡拉斯柯說,他沒有感覺任何疼痛,只要了一杯水喝。
當地電台宣布更正卡拉斯柯的死訊時,聽眾也嚇了一跳,它們表示,卡拉斯柯死亡的新聞太早發布了。(法新社/翻譯:楊鴻泰)
