LIFE AFTER FAKE DEATH

Two weeks after burial of dead father comes home alive!

This incident is not a ghost story. But an absolutely true story reported from Lagos estate in Palathota area in Kalutara. The deceased father’s body was kept in a coffin for mourners to pay their last respects. Then the body was buried in the usual manner. Could you believe that the dead person had returned to his house after two weeks? This is the story:
The person who was responsible to create this uproar had lived in Palathota area in Kalutara was doing masonry work as his profession. During a day last month he had kept a bag of tools at his daughters place and had vanished. When he had not returned for a few days his children had made attempts to find him. Their efforts to find their father had proved futile. They had later made a compliant at the Police Station, Kalutara South. It had been reported that a dead of an unidentified person who was found dead in Katukurunda area had been kept in the hospital mortuary for a few days.
The children of the person who was found missing had been taken to the mortuary to indentify and claim the body. This person had lived in this area before and had shifted to Palathota area after the tsunami. As he was used to loiter in this area frequently his sons had believed that this was the body of their father although it was in fairly decomposed state. They had claimed the body and after handing over to the undertakers had kept the body in a coffin in their house for people to pay last respects and the religious rituals.
In the meantime for people to know about his death they had printed notices pertaining to his death and had posted in and around the streets and surroundings. His burial was taken place in the usual manner.However after two weeks he had suddenly emerged and had come home saying “why is this death notices have been pasted all over the area”.
The inmates of the house were shocked, had cried and screamed. When inquired as to why he had disappeared he had confessed that he had gone to see a friend far away and was entrusted with some masonry work and stayed on until the work was over. This convinced the children of person who was assumed had died. They had said they had identified an incorrect dead body at the mortuary.
After the incident a ‘Thovilaya’ had been conducted in the house to avoid any harmful effects that may be caused to inmates having kept a dead body of an unknown person in the house and to avoid ‘ghost’ attacks it is reported.
