About this listen

You scream, but no one hears you. The coffin swallows every sound. The soil presses down, heavy and final. Your chest burns, your arms cannot rise, your legs cannot move. Death is not a quiet sleep — it is a prison without escape.

For centuries, people have feared one fate above all others: being buried alive. From ancient myths and medieval plagues to safety coffins, graveyard bells, and real-life cases of the “dead” awakening beneath the earth, this book uncovers the chilling history of premature burial.

Step into the shadows of folklore, superstition, and science. Discover why graves are six feet deep, what secrets gravediggers carried, how inventors tried to outwit the grave, and why this terror still echoes through modern times.

Buried Alive: Screams Beneath the Earth is not just history — it is a reminder of humanity’s most primal fear. The earth has swallowed countless cries. This book lets them be heard once more.
