RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - Bones, coffins and crosses crashed through the kitchen wall of a Brazilian home over the weekend after a torrential rain washed out part of a neighboring cemetery, officials said Monday.
"It happened during the rain Saturday night. Part of the cemetery wall fell and earth mixed with body parts, coffins and pieces of tombstones invaded the house that is located down the hill," said an official at the cemetery on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, who did not want to be named.
Cemetery officials said the residents had to tolerate the remnants of the dead in their kitchen for the rest of the weekend. A funeral home in the area was expected to clean up the "haunted" house Monday.
The residents could not be reached for comment. Brazil's Extra tabloid newspaper showed a picture of a woman living in the house holding up a hip bone and a piece of a skull, with a pile of earth and a huge opening in a wall in the background.
