The Man Who RETURNED from the DEAD 3 TIMES
In the quiet Kitui region of Kenya lived Musyoka Mututa, a man whose life, or more accurately, his repeated escapes from death, would become the stuff of legend. Not once, not twice, but three separate times, Mututa was declared dead, mourned, placed in a coffin, and prepared for burial, only to “resurrect” in the most shocking way imaginable.
The first time, villagers were already preparing the grave when muffled noises came from inside the coffin. They opened it, and there he was, alive, confused, and asking for food. The second time, the scene repeated itself, and word began to spread about “the man who could not die.”
But it was the third time that cemented his legend. Mututa had been pronounced dead by a district surgeon, reportedly from cholera. His body was sprayed with insecticide inside the coffin to control the smell and insects. Mourners gathered. The coffin was displayed. Then, in full view of stunned friends and family, the “corpse” sat up, coughing and demanding water. Screams filled the air as people scattered in fear. Others fell to their knees, believing they had just witnessed a miracle.
For years, people whispered about him, asking if he was cursed, blessed, or simply the beneficiary of some strange medical phenomenon.
But death finally came for him a fourth time, and this time, he did not return. He was buried quietly, his extraordinary story becoming part of local folklore.
Now the question remains. What exactly was going on here? Was this proof of the supernatural, a divine intervention that gave him extra chances at life? Or was it evidence of a rare, little-understood biological quirk, something close to human immortality? I’ll leave it to you to decide.
