There are some people who fancy talking about death, and people who normally despise it's concept and talking about it...but there are these type of people who mitigate it because they have a feeling that they are getting closer to it. These kinds of people want to make the days before death seem similar to that after it. In other words, they are preparing themselves for the passing from this life to their afterlife...


The 'talk' about death isn't anything but a self-discussion as if they want to say: I'm not concerned about death, I will talk about it all the time as if I'm actually dead.

This might be also because of gaining sympathy from those whom are around them because he simply wants his children to get a slight picture of what their life is going to be after he or she has passed away, it's a chance where him/her gets to hear common phrases like: may evil be far from you or long you may live or that a person has died aged 100 although he had been diagnosed with 20 diseases.


This could be the parents' longed desire to hear a word that shows gratitude, an expression that shows appreciation..it is true that no one had bothered to say it, but the parent has reached out their hands pleading for it themselves.


In the Italian city of Naples, was a kindhearted man who was 25 years old.He spoke about death. He had a hulky physique, he was intelligent and had graceful facial features. He was a middle child; if he was the eldest the phsychologists would state that: the eldest is keen on sparking the sympathy of the mother so that she would care for him like she did when they were the only child. But his mother's care turned round to the other siblings, so he had to do something to return him back to her arms, but her arms weren't accompanied by a single child, he had 7 siblings.


He always broached about death. He worked in a bar, much to the villagers' surprise where they though of him as a man of God. He also liked to do everything at once, he won't stand up if he sat, he wouldn't be able to get up if he slept, if he stood up he remains so. He would sleep while he's standing if he had to. Strange thing. His mother pulled him to sleep and stand. That was the only flaw in Francisco Gribaldi. To be honest, it wasn't a flaw, it was more like a "bizzare condition" no one was able to explain. The priests say that he was an honest man, his colleagues say he was a dedicated hard-worker. His siblings say he was exceedingly affectionate and chivalrous, his mother says that he was her favourite out of all her children.


Francisco had passed away on March 23, 1945. People were terribly in grief for him; he died at a very young age in a car accident, it wasn't his fault. Francisco had proposed to a girl: the marriage was to be held in six months. His fiance's family decided to bury him in their graveyard. Tears hadn't dried for his youth. His fiance had died in the car accident too, some say she wanted to follow him.The girl was buried next to him.


People started to whisper here and there. The undertaker has stated that he found Francisco's coffin turned upside down! He supported it with a few heavy gravel and found this rather outlandish. No one thought so, people despise talking about graves and tombs, they fear everything about the blashphemy of "afterlife" and they're not holding their breath for it.


A relative from the girl's family had passed away as well and was buried in the same graveyard. But when they opened the tomb, they found Francisco and his fiance's coffin alligned together..inseperable..and upside down as well. There weren't any footprints around the graveyard or in it, no one could explain the shifts of the coffins' places.


Italian newspapers and pamphlets were flooded with the bizzare news. Some scientists wondered if it's was cause of chemical reactions or if there were any radioactive remnants that turn into energy causing the coffins to move? Alfred Nobel the inventor of dynamite had bequeathed that he musn't be buried right after his death, but after a certain time so people would be certain that he died. His bequeath was executed. But how are corpses able to move coffins that would take ten men to lift?!


So that's eerie...


In September 1815, in Barbados, a tomb contained a coffin of a 25 year old girl who was the daughter of a conqueror; she attempted suicide. Her father was a cruel man, natives say, he was the take and don't take type of person. People around him prayed for him to die when they heard he was alive. The natives opened the tomb and found the coffins placed one ontop of the other, candles were lit and no footprints were seen, not even infront of the tomb. The tomb was covered in cement. How did the robber manage to open the tomb without removing the out paint coating or the cement? That's impossible. That made the priest come and examine the situation himself, to apply the paint himself, to enter the tomb himself and come back to it the next day. All of that was recorded in the book in a phrase: only God knows!


In theories that explained these phenomenons, it was said to be because the land was volcanic and feeble plate movements could cause the shift of these coffins...probably. But how could these "feeble plate shuffles" place 3 coffins ontop of each other in allignment?

Other theories were that the land had underground water that water might have seeped into the tombs and caused the tombs to move. But that would definetly not be the reason to place 3 coffins ontop of each other and in percise detail.


July 1819 , Lord Comoiere wanted to see that himself, he is disturbed by sheer blasphemy. "Where are we? We are in the nineteenth century how could any person believe this nonsense?" he used to state. He ordered cement and hydraulic lime and he repainted the tomb and closed it himself. Police officers, sailors, chiefs and clergymen were his company. They sketched the tomb's interior and the percise coordinations of the coffins then they brought 20 men who closed the tomb. Natives were terrified. After 2 weeks the natives and their commandants came to inspect the tomb...nothing had changed. The hydraulic lime became lighter in colour. The cemnet was in its place. The expectations of the commander weren't brought down. Now they could work.They removed everything: the cement, the hydraulic lime, paint coating and the heavy rocks. Candles were lit up and the coffins were leaned against the wall correspondigly and each coffin was straight upright and not vertical as they were placed! This tomb was abandoned and left open to the sun and air. The curious thing is that if a cat or a dog of that island has reached their final days they would go to that graveyard where the tomb was; it would stay there for a while to stay forever. Some observers had admitted that cats and mice were living together without the cats giving an eye to them, and everyone awaits the same ending in terror!
