Autopsy Room #4!! Could you actually imagine that happening to you? UNREAL

OMG, it's one of my biggest fears! In fact, I've told my husband (if I pass before he does of course) to let me "sit" for as long as possible before I'm cremated because WHAT IF? What if I've been drugged or something and am still alive? *sigh* When I immerse my thoughts in the possibilities I start to panic...

"All I desire for my own burial is not to be buried alive."

This is what I pulled from http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/s...the-bell.html:

There is a widespread notion that the phrase is from the 17th century and that it describes people being saved from being buried alive by using a coffin with a bell attached. The idea being that, if they were buried but later revived, they could ring the bell and be saved from an unpleasant death. The idea is certainly plausible as the fear of burial alive was and is real.

When we were at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in Niagara Falls, there was a whole area dedicated to this exact thing, and there was a coffin with a bell sporadically ringing.....very creepy indeed!

That would be the worst nightmare to me.
