À propos de cet audio

 Imagine waking up in pitch-black darkness, your screams echoing off wooden walls, as the weight of six feet of earth presses down. No escape, no air, no hope—until a faint bell rings above ground. But is anyone listening? Dive into the real horrors of taphophobia in this episode that will have you checking your pulse... and the shadows.

From historical mishaps that inspired "safety coffins" with emergency bells to modern true crime tales of deliberate entombment, we weave a narrative that's equal parts historical fact and heart-pounding suspense.

  • Safety Coffins & Bells: Inventions like Dr. Adolf Gutsmuth's feeding tube coffin (1822), Johann Taberger's rope-bell system (1829), and Count Michel de Karnice-Karnicki's spring-loaded design (1897). The chilling truth: No verified rescues.

  • Story 1: Essie Dunbar (1915, South Carolina): The accidental burial of a woman in an epileptic coma—buried, exhumed, and rising from her coffin to live another 47 years. Chaos, screams, and local legends ensue.

  • Story 2: Barbara Jane Mackle (1968 Kidnapping): The heiress buried alive in a ventilated box for 83 hours by kidnappers Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Ransom, FBI rescue, and a survivor's unbreakable spirit.
