A man who has a fear for being buried alive has built a home- in a crypt. The coffin has a television, a water pitcher, air vent and two makeshift placstic tubes he uses as megaphones to contact the outside world.
The crypt was built by 78-year-old man whose name happens to be Freud.
Freud de Melo suffers from a rare condition called taphephobia, the fear of being buried alive.
So why he lives in the coffin is a mystery.
"I have awful, awful nightmares of trying to dig myself out from underground," he said.
Melo's life-affirming burial chapel has become one of the most talked about features of the eccentric tourist park he operates in Brazil's central hinterlands.
And he once shouted through the megaphone cones "Help me! Come quick! I've been buried alive!"
But he said it was all in the name of testing the equipment.
