An old man and woman had been married for decades \u2014 though everyone in town wondered how. They couldn\u2019t stand each other.<\/em> Their shouting matches could be heard clear down the street, and no one dared knock on their door after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time they fought, the old man would yell, \u201cWhen I die, I\u2019ll dig my way up and out of that grave and come back to haunt you for the rest of your miserable life!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbors whispered that he practiced black magic. Pets went missing, strange lights flickered at odd hours, and eerie sounds came from their basement. Everyone feared him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then one day, the old man died \u2014 suddenly, under mysterious circumstances. The funeral was short and tense, with a closed casket.<\/em> The neighbors crossed themselves quietly as they watched the body being lowered into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just hours later, the widow was spotted at the local bar \u2014 drinking, dancing, and laughing like a woman half her age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her neighbors gathered around, stunned. One finally asked, \u201cAren\u2019t you scared? He swore he\u2019d come back to haunt you! Aren\u2019t you even a little worried?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old woman took a long sip of her drink, smirked, and said\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah\u2026 I buried the old fool face down.<\/em> Let him dig all he wants!\u201d<\/strong> \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
