A 40-year-old man named Ismail Azizi narrated in an interview with Afrimax how he died and came back to life six times. He revealed that his community believes him to be a ghost and a great witch because he refused to stay dead.
He shared the ostracism he experienced from his community, family, and friends. This belief led them to burn him in his house, which caused him to die of smoke inhalation, but he later came back to life.
A man who was interviewed alongside him to report, Al Mansi said:
“When the incident happened, I witnessed everything because I and others were in charge of burying him. Just before the ceremony started, he came out of the coffin. Everyone there immediately ran away because it was terrifying to see someone you know is dead come back to life. This wasn’t the only time; there were other occasions where he died and came back to life.”
Ismail explained that every time he dies, his family and friends gather for his funeral, but he always comes back to life. He described his experiences, “Life continued, but I felt something was wrong. Every time I died and came back, my body felt strange. Because of the witches in our area, people started treating me as if I were a witch.”
He also recounted a serious industrial accident in which everyone thought he had died: “They took me to the hospital in critical condition, and the doctors told my friends and relatives that I was dead. They took me to the morgue, but I woke up feeling very cold. Fortunately, the morgue wasn’t closed, and I walked out. When my family saw me, they ran away because they thought I was a ghost.”
Ismail also narrated when he died of malaria: “As soon as they placed me in the coffin, I woke up and realized I was alive. This was the second time it had happened. People didn’t believe I was real; they thought I was a ghost.”
He spoke of another incident: “During a trip, our car collided with another vehicle carrying fuel, and I went into a coma. Even the doctors became scared because they had seen me come back to life multiple times. They started treating me as if I were a witch.”
He lived a lonely life and called his experience a gift from God, informing him that his grandfather had also risen from the dead during his lifetime.
