Year(s) of Incident: 1708
Location: Ireland
Halloween Episode: The Death of Margorie McCall
Victim(s):  NA
Method: Coma, Illness


The story of Margorie McCall, also known as Margorie McCall, "Lived Once, Buried Twice", is a famous Irish legend dating back to the 18th century in Lurgan, Northern Ireland. As the story goes, Margorie McCall was a young woman who fell ill and was quickly declared dead. After her burial, some grave robbers, who had heard she was buried wearing an expensive ring, dug up her grave that night in hopes of retrieving the valuable piece.

However, when they tried to remove the ring, they found it difficult, as her fingers had swollen. Determined, they attempted to cut the ring off her finger, and as they did so, Margorie suddenly awoke. It turned out that she had been in a coma rather than dead, and the pain jolted her back to consciousness.
