Confirmed FACT✅

Pete Ringwald is the groundskeeper of a cemetery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and a hateful man who frequently mistreats his two gravediggers, Bo and Jim. During a funeral, Pete rudely tells the minister to hurry things along, and after the ceremony concludes, just sits and drinks while the casket is moved by Bo and Jim. Pete becomes annoyed by how long it is taking Bo and Jim to lower the coffin into the grave, so he just crudely shoves it into the hole, and yells at Bo and when Bo expresses disgust for Pete's disrespectful behavior.

As Bo and Jim are burying the casket, an ethereal voice begins singing, "An awful, awful man/Not well bred/No respect for anyone/Not even the de5d." The singing turns out to be coming from an old woman who is dressed all in black; the woman claims that the song is about Pete, and when Pete demands that she leave the cemetery, the woman gravely intones, "You be warned, gravedigger." The woman begins singing again, and then vanishes, unnerving Pete, Bo, and Jim. That night, while Pete is drinking alone in his trailer, he hears the singing again, and opens his door to see the old woman, who scares Pete to the point of causing him to have a panic attack.

In the morning, as Bo and Jim are moving a new casket, Pete, even angrier than usual, kicks Bo. As Pete screams that Bo and Jim are useless, the singing starts again, though this time only Pete can hear it. Realizing that the singing is coming from the coffin, Pete orders Bo and Jim to just throw it into its grave, and to also crush it with rocks; when Bo and Pete refuse to do this on the basis that it is disrespectful and unholy, Pete fires them. After Bo and Jim leave, Pete begins attacking the coffin with a shovel, breaking it open and revealing the old woman, who opens her eyes and states, "You were warned." A shocked Pete stumbles backwards into the old woman's open grave, and dies as something begins shoveling dirt on to him.

Jim's narration mentions that when Pete's body was found and examined, the doctor was left unsure of what exactly ki11ed Pete, noting that it appeared as if someone or something had just "scared him to de5th."
