Haunted from the grave

Haunted from the grave

An old man and woman were married
for years even though they
hated each other.
When they had a confrontation,
screams and yelling could be
heard deep into the night.
A constant statement was heard
by the neighbors who feared
the man the most.

"When I die I will dig my way up and
out of the grave to come back
and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

They believed he practiced black magic
and was responsible for missing cats and
dogs, and strange sounds at all hours.
He was feared and enjoyed the
respect it garnished.

He died abruptly under strange
circumstances and the funeral
had a closed casket.
After the burial, the wife went straight
to the local bar and began to party
as if there was no tomorrow.

The gaiety of her actions were
becoming extreme while her neighbors
approached in a group to ask these
questions: Are you not afraid?
Concerned? Worried?
That this man who practiced black magic
and stated when he died he would
dig his way up and out of the grave
to come back and haunt you
for the rest of your life?

The wife put down her drink and said,
"Let the jerk dig.
I had him buried upside down."
