Two Ebola patients, who died of the virus in separate communities in Nimba County have reportedly resurrected in the county. The victims, both females, believed to be in their 60s and 40s respectively, died of the Ebola virus recently in Hope Village Community and the Catholic Community in Ganta, Nimba.

But to the amazement of residents and onlookers on Monday, the deceased reportedly regained life in total disbelief. The New Dawn Nimba County correspondent said the late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and the second victim only identified as Ma Kebeh, said to be in her late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they resurrected.

Ma Kebeh had reportedly been in door for two nights without food and medication before her alleged death. Nimba County has had bizarre news of Ebola cases with a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week.

News of the resurrection of the two victims has reportedly created panic in residents of Hope Village Community and Ganta at large, with some citizens describing Dorris Quoi as a ghost, who shouldn't live among them. Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting.


Found this on Vox's blog. So much - ummm - top notch reporting here, but the bit I like the best is: "Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting." Thank God, because if this wasn't the FIRST Incident then it's already too late.

There's many documented cases of "deceased" coming back to life. It's rare of course, and the idea is that they weren't really dead. Perhaps ebola is prone to this, in that it produces symptoms that shut systems down so much the victim appears dead? Makes you wonder about some of the individuals that were buried.

Yep, brings to mind epidemics of centuries past, coffins with fingernail scratch marks on the inside, and "safety coffins".

Did they immediately lop the head off of the resurrecting corpses before they could bite anyone? I hope so.

Sounds like a good premise for a zombie movie.

So, did they die again afterwards?
