“It’s crazy how bad I stalk for your attention. My darling the pain I have is no greater than the pain I’ve caused you. At my darkest time you were the light pulling me together as I spread. All the lies I told and the dangerous path I lead. You seen through the demons and noticed the real me. Only if I returned the same love. Then you would be in my arms feeling the warmth that I have newly found from the tiny spark that you planted. What can I say but thank you.. My love.”

After succumbing to a fever of some sort in 1705, Irish woman Margorie McCall was hastily buried to prevent the spread of whatever had done her in. Margorie was buried with a valuable ring, which her husband had been unable to remove due to swelling. This made her an even better target for body snatchers, who could cash in on both the corpse and the ring.
The evening after Margorie was buried, before the soil had even settled, the grave-robbers showed up and started digging. Unable to pry the ring off the finger, they decided to cut the finger off. As soon as blood was drawn, Margorie awoke from her coma, sat straight up and screamed.
The fate of the grave-robbers remains unknown. One story says the men dropped dead on the spot, while another claims they fled and never returned to their chosen profession.
Margorie climbed out of the hole and made her way back to her home.
Her husband John, a doctor, was at home with the children when he heard a knock at the door. He told the children, “If your mother were still alive, I’d swear that was her knock.”
When he opened the door to find his wife standing there, dressed in her burial clothes, blood dripping from her finger but very much alive, he dropped dead to the floor. He was buried in the plot Margorie had vacated.
Margorie went on to re-marry and have several children. When she did finally die, she was returned to Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan, Ireland, where her gravestone still stands. It bears the inscription “Lived Once, Buried Twice.”

I NEEEEED SOME
There used to be a paint made of ground- up Egyptian mummies. ‘Mummy Brown’ was a favorite color of many 19th-century European painters, but some people were so upset by its ingredients, they buried tubes of it in the ground out of respect for the dead. It was still being made up until 1964, when the manufacturer’s ancient mummy supply finally ran out. Source Source 2 Source 3
For example, much of this painting is made of ancient dead people:
