Catalepsy is realy ficction... I believe no one has been buried alive, unles with the purpose of dispearing his boddy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.1.250.162 (talk) 22:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

did

did someone make up that buried alive thing?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No, it up.

I am from Nicaragua and we wait more than 20 hours before we buried people. In fact, my grand mother has been in two different places where people ashley got up of the coffins and stared walking.

Sounds weird and crazy, but it is the truth. Discovery chanel has presented some shows about catalepsy and they show that some coffins had marks in the inside beacuse people who were buried alive where scratching it.

Ask doctors and do a research and you will see it is the truth.

Spoilers

I know of another book in which catalepsy is a very important part of the plot. However, it would spoil the book entirely for people who haven't read it. Should I add it to the list (and yes, it is a well-known book)? Protac (talk) 20:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Wikipedia can and does contain spoilers. (See WP:Spoilers.) If the book is noteworthy, go ahead and put it in. Graymornings (talk) 00:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another literary ref

The Death of Olivier Becaille by Emile Zola tells of a man being buried alive whilst in a cataleptic state. I will add this to the article as it is by a very noteworthy author and because the main character actually says "I must have fallen into one of those cataleptic states that I had read of". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.247.21 (talk) 16:56, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
