An old man and woman were married for years even though they hated each
other. When they had a confrontation, screams and yelling could be heard deep
into the night. A constant statement was heard by the neighbors who feared the
man the most. "When I die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back
and haunt you for the rest of your life!"
They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing cats
and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was feared and enjoyed the respect
it garnished.
He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had a closed
casket. After the burial, the wife went straight to the local bar and began to
party as if there was no tomorrow.
The gaiety of her actions were becoming
extreme while her neighbors approached in a group to ask these questions: Are
you not afraid? Concerned? Worried? that this man who practiced black magic and
stated when he died he would dig his way up and out of the grave to come back
and haunt you for the rest of your life?
The wife put down her drink and said..."let the old fool dig. I had him
buried upside down."
