A woman has claimed she was visiting a relative�s tomb in Brazil when an arm emerged from the soil covering an adjacent grave, accompanied by a muffled voice calling for help.
The spine-chilling incident reportedly occurred in a cemetery in the suburb of Ferraz de Vasconcelos, Sao Paulo.
In video footage said to have first been shown on Brazil�s Record TV, the man appears almost lifeless as he is pulled from the grave, before an emergency worker discovers he is still breathing.
Speaking to a Daily Mail reporter in Rio de Janeiro, the unnamed woman who discovered him said: �I was terrified to see a man, who I thought was dead, trying to get out of the grave.
�He had his head and hands out and was moving his arms around, trying to get out.�
Noticias R7 says city officials have confirmed the case but it is unknown how the man, understood to be a former city hall worker, came to be in the grave.
