Temple staff in Nonthaburi, Thailand, were stunned when a woman, brought in for cremation at Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, began moving inside her coffin, as shown in a video posted by the Buddhist temple on Facebook.
The video in question shows a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered.
Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told The Associated Press on Monday that the 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated.
He said they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin.
"I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled," he said. "I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time."
