Real attempts to deal with 'dangerous corpses' persisted in England long after vampires had been made into literary and theatrical spectacles. Four years after the publication of 'Dracula', a Devon farmer is recorded as saying the coffin of a "troublesome" woman would be buried upside-down so "her can on'y diggy downwards." During World War I, English soldiers are recorded as having buried a "huge, scowling" German facedown for the same reason. #gothic #folklore #mythology #vampire #vampires #death #history #paranormal #weird

The Paradox of Life at Death’s Edge: The Gift of Perspective and Lessons from Near-Death Experiences Exploring the question "What does dying feel like?" and the transformative power of facing death as life's final frontier. "For the individuals in the documentary, this wasn’t a frightening hallucination; it was a weightless peace. The physical burdens of the body—the chronic pain, the heaviness of breathing, the constant chatter of the ego—simply evaporate." #Death #NearDeathExperience #NDE #NearDeathExperiences #NDEs #ConfrontingDeath #FacingDeath #Dying #LifeAfterDeath #EternalLife #Life #ManiaLifestyle https://maniainc.com/lifestyle/the-paradox-of-life-at-deaths-edge-the-gift-of-perspective-and-lessons-from-near-death-experiences/

Painting of the Last Judgement from Haukipudas Church, Finland, by Mikael Toppelius (1770s). Notice the 'biting corpse' in the lower left-hand corner. Toppelius was known for incorporating folkloric material into his Baroque style and the biting corpse may represent local beliefs in what might be termed 'the restless dead', more commonly known as 'vampires'. This area of Finland may have been influenced by Scandinavian ideas about such revenants. #art #churches #folklore #gothic #weird #vampire #vampires #death #history #Finland #paranormal

Some of the most curious English ghost stories relate to 'screaming skulls'. A famous one is housed at Burton Agnes Hall, Yorkshire. It is said to have belonged to Anne Griffith, whose father built the Hall. Anne had watched in amazement as the Hall was constructed, declaring it would be the most wonderful home ever built. Shortly after it was finished, however, she was fatally wounded by robbers. As she lay dying, she made her sisters promise they would sever her corpse's head and keep it in the Hall, but Anne was buried conventionally in the local churchyard. The Hall was, thereafter, tormented with groans and poltergeist activity until the family had Anne exhumed and decapitated. As long as the skull stayed in the Hall, everything was fine, but - over the years - several attempts to remove it led to supernatural disturbances. The skull remains in the Hall today. Nobody is sure of the exact location, but it's said to be bricked up in a wall. #gothic #folklore #history #paranormal #ghosts #skull #skulls #death #mythologymonday #graveyard

Consciousness could last hours after ‘death’ Medics have been urged to reconsider our final moments as a ‘gradual, interruptible process’ — and reconsider how long they spend trying to resuscitate patients #death #consciousness #life #resusitation https://www.thetimes.com/uk/science/article/life-after-death-brain-works-for-a-while-after-the-body-dies-6hfm0t3f8

The last words that legendary Apple founder Steve Jobs uttered were “Oh, wow, oh wow, oh wow.” It’s anyone’s guess what spurred Jobs’ comments. But scientists may be closing in on what happens in the final moments of life by gathering data on brain activity from patients who are dying.
