Police in Russia broke up a strange ritual in a forest where two young women were buried alive in shallow graves. Officers found the women in the Leningrad region, wrapped in cloth and lying in holes dug into the ground, a ceremony supposed to help people experience a spiritual rebirth.
According to The Sun, the two women had their heads covered in wrappings that made them look like mummies. They were pulled out of graves that were about 20 inches deep. Both women made it through alive, but one of them could barely stand up when she came out of the ground. When police arrived, they saw 13 more people sitting around a fire. Some of them had already dug holes for themselves and were waiting to be buried next.
