Haunted from the grave – Kísértve a sírból
An old man and woman had been married for years although (ennek ellemére) they hated (utál) each other. When they had an argument (vita), everybody heard screams (sikoltozás) and yelling (kiabálás) at the night. The neighbors heard a statement (állítás) from the husband and they feared (félni)the man very much.
“When I die I will dig (ásni) my way up and out of the grave (sír) and I will come back and haunt (kísérteni) you for the rest of (hátralévő, maradék) your life!”
They believed he practiced black magic (fekete mágia) and he was responsible for (felelős vmiért) missing cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He enjoyed that the people were afraid of him.
One day he died under strange circumstances (furcs körülmények között) and the funeral (temetés) had a closed casket (koporsó). After the burial (temetés) , the wife went straight to the local bar and began to drink as if there was no tomorrow.
Suddenly her neighbors approached (megközelíteni) her in a group and asked these questions:
Are you not afraid? Concerned? Worried? Your husband practiced black magic and once he stated that when he died he would dig his way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life?
The wife put down her drink and said, “Let the jerk (barom) dig. I had him buried upside down (fejjel lefelé).”
