Irma B. Schreiber

Buried Alive Escape: The True Story That Shocked a Nation

In 1915, Essie Dunbar was declared dead and buried in South Carolina. But to everyone's surprise, she woke up in her own grave, leaving her small town in shock. What follows is an amazing story of survival, faith, and the delicate balance between life and death.

At a time when doctors didn't have the advanced tools we use today, death often came suddenly and without warning. Essie's "resurrection" spread quickly through her town, raising questions about miracles, faith, and even superstition. Living in the segregated South, her story also revealed how race, religion, and early medical science all collided in the aftermath of this incredible event.

But getting a second chance at life wasn't easy for Essie. She had to face new fears, heal from old wounds, and live with the burden of being someone who "came back" from death. The world around her had to adjust, too, as people tried to make sense of what had happened.

In Twice Lived, you will follow Essie's journey as she reclaims her life and faces the question: What would you do if you were given a second chance? Dive into this unforgettable story that explores life, death, and what it truly means to live.
