Imagine this, you've been buried alive. We're not going to lie to you — things aren't looking great right now. How you've got here doesn't matter. Mistakes might have been made. The immediate problem is this: You've woken up six feet under, trapped in your coffin, and you've no idea how to get out. Here's what happens when you are buried alive.

If you wake up inside a coffin, there’s a chance they truly believed you were dead. Are you a heavy sleeper? Do you tend to be slothful? Did you recently ingest a drug that causes total paralysis and slows cardiopulmonary function? If you answered yes to any of these questions, try to withhold judgment about what could be an honest mistake.

The abnormal and persistent fear of being buried alive is called taphophobia. It might seem easier to track down when taphephobia hit a peak, but it's kind of tricky. Fear of being buried alive goes far back into the past — from Greek philosophers to George Washington, who was worried about being buried alive. The long history of this fear shows it probably isn't going away anytime soon.

What would you do if you found yourself 6 feet under? Survival experts say - first, DON’T PANIC! Seriously, panicking will drastically reduce the time you have to work yourself out of this jam. You’ll use up all your oxygen quite quickly in this state and you likely don’t have a lot of time to start with.

Typically you could survive for one or two hours before using up your oxygen, as long as you don’t panic. If you happen to be good at meditating, you could last quite a bit longer.

The prognosis for people who are buried alive hasn't always been too good, historically speaking, but a small percentage have been able to make it back to the land of the living. Get to know what happens if you are buried alive.
