For a few years I worked in the funeral industry, sorta. I was a civil registrar and, here in Italy, the role includes doing all the paperwork for burials, cremations, exhumations etc. <br>I talked to funeral directors and undertakers pretty much every day: some of them were really chatty and man, the stories they told! One of them once told me about the time that his funeral home was called by a wealthy local family to exhume about a dozen of their family members from a pretty dilapidated mausoleum built on a piece of private land. <br>The request was to move all the remains to a different mausoleum in a different city (I think the land was being sold and the mausoleum bulldozed). All of the bodies had been buried at least 80 years prior, and some had been there for about 150 years or so. The funeral home sent their guys to do the job and, as expected, they found only bones and dust (and some old metal buttons) in all of the burial niches, except for one: a little girl that was buried in the 1910s, not inside a niche like the others, but laid inside some kind of small stone altar. When the altar was opened her body was so incredibly well preserved everyone was left absolutely speechless. She had a white dress with yellow embroidery on the bodice, flowers all around her, and she looked like she had just fallen asleep. Her face was plump and even the color of her skin looked almost natural. Once the tomb was opened and air got in, though, the girl's body rapidly "deflated" (that's the term they used) and then decayed in a matter of hours/days. By the time the funeral guys finished the job there was basically nothing left of her but bones. The funeral home director told me it happens every once in a while to find a body that is almost supernaturally intact: apparently it depends on a lot of factors, including humidity, temperature, how tightly the casket was sealed, etc. But even they were impressed with that one little girl.

Funny thing about the first case: There was actually a Queen/Princess (I forgot which) from China whose body was preserved so perfectly that it looked similarly “pristine”… Over a THOUSAND years after she was buried! The process of taking her out and examining her resulted in a bit of decay since she was discovered that wouldn’t have otherwise occurred, but despite this she was still so pristine that they now have her body on display at the Mütter Museum! I think they call her the “soap lady” or something like that.

.Theres no way that the police could have known that no one else touched Ephraim's casket. The masoleum was open and the casket was opened then closed , but not sealed. So anyone could have opened it, and seen the body, and taken it bc they couldnt believe the shape it was in. Thats far more likely than Ephraim coming back to life and just standing up and walking away. If a person has not moved in 20 years for whatever reason, they cant just walk like they've been doing it every day, lol.

I feel there's a big gap in the second story: A ghost performs a surgery, and somebody wants witnesses for it. Who? The mediums? The ghost himself, as communicated by the mediums? The patient? Who organized this thing? And most importantly, WHY? Do I remember correctly that he said "the doctor insisted on no witnesses"? That suggests the mediums contacted the witnesses to be present, but who in the world convinced the patient? And why that patient?

I must confess that this channel has put my life on hold. I recently got laid off from my job and I found this channel and decided to watch the popular videos. I didn't realize that there are a lot of videos on this channel because one week later I haven't looked for another job because I'm hooked on MrBallen and I kept telling myself to just watch one more and then I will go look for a job. 😂 Thank you sir to you and your team for putting my life on hold!

One of the aides at our hospital has seen death 4 times come for patients. She said it’s a middle age white man wearing a 50’s style black suit and hat. What ever room he goes into that person dies within 24 hours.
