The "You Read The Craziest Things In The Newspaper!" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Reading a column in my Lancaster LNP newspaper when I came across something very unusual...very touching...kind of scary...something very hard to believe.  My story today will be a very short story just as it was in the newspaper....

A story that came from Ecuador, South America, told of a Woman who had been declared dead and placed in a coffin, ready for burial.  She surprised everyone when she began knocking on her coffin during her wake.  The woman's son said that doctors at the state hospital where she was rushed, said that she had died the day before.  Bella Montoya reportedly woke up and started knocking on the inside of her coffin after spending five hours inside that coffin at the funeral home.  Could she possibly had just fallen asleep, and was a very sound sleeper?  I know that people have a hard time waking me up sometimes.  I hate to think what these people in Ecuador might have done to me.  Well, all the commotion and hassle must have done her in the second time around and she was once again declared dead at the same funeral home.  I don't think I would want to be the person who had to shovel the dirt over the coffin after the second time around for fear I would hear the knocking once again.  That would be enough to give me a heart attack and put me in a coffin!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
