Haggards Living Mummy
Level 0 – Common Web
CONSPIRACY
The author H Rider Haggard actually kept a real Egyptian mummy in his room at the height of British ‘acquisition’ of Egyptian relics. He wrote to a friend that one night he woke to find the mummy was in a different place than he had left it. The next night he woke to the sound of shuffling and bumping around, and in the morning found a trail of debris around the house. Again the mummy was in a different place. He got rid of it after that.
As far as I know this is the only “real” example of a mummy coming to life and moving around like we see in the movies. Source: ‘The Mummys Curse’ by Roger Luckhurst
