The missing coffin.

This is probably the strangest and most unexplainable thing I've ever witnessed.

About 20 years ago a family friend lost their daughter to a childhood illness. She was 11 at the time and as you can imagine it was devastating for the entire family. The daughters grandfather had done well in life and he ordered a very expensive Italian made granite coffin.... (Valued at around $100,000 AU) So they bury the little girl and install a granite head stone plus cover stone and the family begins to slowly heal.

Around 18 months later the mother of the deceased daughter starts to have vivid dreams that her daughter was telling her she was cold and wet. Some time passes but the dreams are only get stronger and more vivid. Eventually she decided to have her daughters grave dug up. This had been going on for about 4 years and she needed peace. Can you imagine the stress that something like this would cause a family? They go through a formal legal process and hire specialised contractors to do the excavation. They also hired a modern archaeology to be part of the team. So they remove the top stone and start digging. They eventually come across the little girls body but the $100,000 coffin was gone. After removing her body they continued to dig until they were well past the depth of the original grave dig.

After the team had finished the search they documented everything. They then placed the little girl into a new coffin and reburied her. A priest conducted a service at the time of reburial. (I attended both burials) I'm sure you can guess the rest... But the mother now sleeps well with no dreams about her daughter.

Your initial response may be that it's just a dream and the mother was missing her daughter. I initially told myself the same thing but it doesn't explain the little girl complaining that she was cold and wet in the dreams. Were would the mother get that from?

I'm close to the mother and I spoke to her often as the family was going through this process. I talked to her and her husband at a family gathering this afternoon. They are doing well.
