‘Immortality’ Might NOT Be A Blessing! African Man Who Came Back To Life After ‘Dying’ 6 Times Shares Ordeal

We all have seen those supernatural movies where the protagonist often ends up being either an ‘immortal being’ like a vampire, werewolf, witch, or ends up being simply something like a ‘never-dying’ demon.

All in all- ‘immortality is boring’- is hardly ever the reaction or ‘lesson’ that fans choose to take from such projects. However, is the ‘ability to NOT die’ really a ‘blessing’? For this African man, it seems like the answer is a sad ‘no’. Believe it or not, but an African man not only left his village shocked and confused, but he also left the internet stunned after he allegedly ‘came back’ to life after ‘dying’ 6 times! Yes, 40-year-old Ismail Azizi from Tanzania in Africa claims that he defied medical science time and again. However, despite it sounding ‘cool’, the reality is way too different. Turns out, he lives alone, because his village is afraid of him! A documentary on the man’s unique story was shared online, which went viral. As per ‘Unilad’, the first time that Azizi died was during some construction work. Doctors even declared him dead, leading his relatives to prepare for his funeral. However, when the ‘dead man’ was taken to the morgue- he woke up instead- and left everyone puzzled and even horrified. Naturally, as fear of something ‘never seen before’ seeped in, many began to speculate theories. From being called a ghost to a witch, his villagers had many theories. The second time that he died was allegedly due to malaria- however, Azizi came back to the land of the living- yet again. The third ‘death’ came in the form of a fatal accident, leading to yet another ‘resurrection’. A somewhat turning point came when Azizi remained dead for ‘three days’ after getting bitten by a snake- only to come back alive. For the fifth time, Azizi 'died’ because of falling into a pit- but came alive again, turning the fear of his villagers into something much more scary- so much so that his very villagers ended up becoming the reason for his ‘sixth death’. Fearing him, some villagers allegedly set his home on fire- with him still inside it. However, Azizi came back- again. Now, he lives alone as everybody in his village fears him. “People consider me the most powerful witch in our area. Life continued, but I felt that there was something wrong with my life,” Unilad quoted him as saying.ALSO READ: ‘Fir Vapas Aaa Gayi!’: Internet Romanticises 'September Rain’ As Delhi Rains Make A Comeback “People didn't believe I was a real person.
