OK, well it's not 01APR and it doesn't seem to be a joke so I give you The Deadraisers; a group of USAian (naturally) Evangelical xian wackjobs who claim to bring the dead back to life.
It (the Dead Raising Team) is run by one Tyler Johnson, who claims to have brought eleven people back to life. He says he even persuaded the authorities in his state to issue him with an official photocard which lets him through police lines at car accident sites (which I hope is crap but you never know in the land of thefree nutter).
There is of course absolutely no evidence for their claims and Johnson and his cohorts are unwilling to provide successful case studies or other citations.
No this lunacy was amusing when it was safety contained inside the USA but it appears to be spreading to civilisation. Well the UK anyway.
Alun and Donna Leppit are a seemingly sane British couple who are convinced that the dead can be raised through the power of prayer. There was a BBC 4 programme (Out of the Ordinary: The Power of Prayer) about them.
Unfortunately (for them) there's a lack of corpses for them to practice on.
Oh and there's a Kickstarter for their new documentary called Deadraisers, which follows enthusiasts as they trail round hospitals and mortuariesmolesting corpses trying to bring people back to life.
