My great grandfather 'came round' in his coffin on the way to his funeral in a horse-drawn carriage. He managed to knock and bang and luckily was heard and lived on for quite a while. Scary!
I have met two NDE experience experts, George Ritchie (http://www.near-death.com/ritch.html) and Raymond Moody (http://www.lifeafterlife.com/). Both have convinced me of the reality of NDEs and helped me to prepare - in a small way - for when it is time for me to move on and how to help people who are worried (or interested) about death.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell. or was considered a dead ringer.
