5. She Woke Up In Her Own Coffin Twice! 
Mrs. Blunden from Hampshire had the ill luck of waking up in her coffin twice. On July 16, 1674, she took poppy water and fell into a deep sleep. She was declared dead as there were no signs of heartbeat and her body was cold. She was buried against the wishes of her husband who was away from home at the time. Her body was exhumed when some children playing near the graveyard complained of weird noises coming from one of the graves. Mrs. Blunden had wounds on her body due to her escape attempts when her coffin was reopened and she was still so she was declared dead and buried again. The next day, she was found with more wounds and tattered clothes when a coroner exhumed her body to confirm her death which means that she woke up twice in her own grave. Her fate is truly terrifying!
