Episode Details

In this bizarre episode, host Allen Sircy journeys to St. Joseph Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio, to uncover the grotesque 1881 exhumation of Vital Nagel, a woman who had been buried directly in the earth without a coffin five years earlier. When gravediggers attempted to relocate her remains to a unified family plot, their shovels struck not rot or bone, but a corpse that had mysteriously transformed into solid, statue-like stone. As horrified family members looked on, an initial team of four couldn't budge the petrified woman, prompting a desperate sexton to swing a pickaxe at her limbs in vain before nearly a dozen men finally managed to hoist her using straps—only for a freak accident with a falling pick to snap her petrified head clean off and send it rolling back to the bottom of the open grave.
