THIS is the shocking moment a grandmother thought to be dead was found moving in her coffin – mere moments before her cremation.
The jaw-dropping incident unfolded at a temple on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand after a stunned worker heard ominous knocking and crying coming from inside the coffin.
Thammanoon, 27, was in disbelief as he peeled back the sheet to see the 65-year-old Chonthirot resurrected from the dead.
He said: ” I froze when I saw she was still moving.
“She was conscious, breathing weakly, and nodding her head, but she was unable to speak.
“I was stunned because I’d never experienced anything like this before.”
The temple, Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, posted the astonishing footage online, which shows Chonthirot tilting her head and whipping flies from her face as her family gawk in disbelief.
Chonthirot’s younger brother, Mongkol, 57, claims she had been bedridden for two years and was found “dead” in the early hours of November 23.
He family placed her in a white coffin and drove the long 225-mile drive to the temple, which provides free cremation and funeral services to the impoverished.
Mongkol had even handed over paperwork confirming her death to the Buddhist monk who was due to perform the service.
After the astonishing discovery, he said: “I was shocked, surprised, and happy that my sister was still alive.
“I nearly collapsed from surprise. It’s a miracle that she woke up.”
Ambulances arrived to rush the wispy woman to Bang Yai Hospital, with the temple throwing in the money for her medical expenses.
Abbot Phra Kitti Wachirathada said he was overjoyed that the miracle had given the family a second chance at life.
Another Thai woman came back from the dead in a bizarre twist of fate in 2019.
Phinij Sopajorn, 70, had been suffering from swelling in her thyroid when she supposedly died in hospital.
The doctor let her family take her body for a Bhuddist funeral where she was kept in a cold coffin at the local temple for three days.
Before her body could go into the incinerator her husband Thawin Sopajorn, 73, performed the traditional custom of washing her face with a damp flannel.
Thawin reportedly noticed his wife gently breathing and said he saw her eyes flicker.
He immediately called for help before paramedics arrived and performed CPR and proclaiming the gran was alive.
She was rushed home and laid out next to a warm fan with hot water bottles on her chest to bring her body temperature up.
Thawin said he believed his wife was still alive because her body had not stiffened.
And only last week, a newborn baby was discovered alive and stuffed in a toilet cistern at an office block in Bangkok.
The infant was found crying and soaking wet by an alarmed housekeeper, who promptly alerted emergency services.
Miraculously, the baby girl was unharmed and only suffered wrinkled hands from the water exposure.
She was believed to have been dumped shortly after birth, as the roughly cut umbilical cord was still present.
Police launched a search for the girl’s parents.
