Coffin moves by itself during funeral in Eastern Cape – mourners left screaming 😱⚰️

 

A funeral in Mthatha took a turn straight out of a horror movie when mourners claim a coffin started moving on its own mid-ceremony, leaving everyone in shock and terror.


According to witnesses, the service was in full swing when the wooden coffin allegedly began to rock back and forth, even sliding slightly along the ground. “I was singing and paying my respects, and then… the coffin started shaking! I nearly fell over. Some people screamed, others ran!” said one visibly shaken mourner, Thuli Ndlovu.


The deceased, Mr. Mandla Khumalo, had passed peacefully last week, and his family insists there was nothing suspicious about his death. But now, locals are whispering that the ancestors might be sending a message, or worse, a tokoloshe is at play. “I’m not joking, bru. That coffin moved, like someone was trying to get out,” said another witness.

In the chaos, the funeral pastor reportedly dropped his Bible and ran for the gate, while a few brave uncles tried to hold the coffin down. “It was like the coffin had a mind of its own. I’m telling you, I’ve been to hundreds of funerals, but this one… this one is different,” said one mourner.

Social media has been buzzing since the incident, with locals uploading shaky videos of the coffin seemingly moving on its own. Many are joking, calling it a “resurrection attempt” or claiming Mr. Khumalo just wanted to go to a better party. Others, however, are genuinely spooked, saying Eastern Cape spirits are getting restless.


Local sangomas have weighed in, warning that funerals are sacred, and restless spirits sometimes show up if rituals aren’t properly followed. “The ancestors are serious, bru. If you disrespect a funeral, sometimes the coffin will remind you who’s boss,” said Gogo Zanele.
Meanwhile, family members are torn between fear and fascination. “It’s terrifying, but also… we can’t stop talking about it,” admitted one nephew. “We’ll never forget this funeral. People say ‘rest in peace,’ but now we’re thinking maybe Mandla’s still partying in there!”
Whether it was a supernatural force, a prankster, or just an old coffin on uneven ground, one thing is clear — this Eastern Cape funeral will go down in history as the day the dead refused to stay put.
