Elevator Pranks Go Viral

A couple of videos have gone viral on the internet over the past couple of weeks and they feature ghastly pranks committed by a Brazilian television station. The pranks were committed by variety show host Silvio Santos. The first video was of a ghost child appearing in an elevator through a secret door when the lights went out. The lights go out again and the ghost disappears using the same secret door.

Santos, just days after the ghost prank, pulled another prank. This time, the prank involves a coffin and a corpse in an elevator. The video was posted to the internet on Sunday and has already received well over 500,000 hits.

In the prank, two undertakers ‘accidentally’ leave a coffin in an elevator while others are on it. After the undertakers exit the elevator, leaving the others on it, the corpse in the coffin falls out and even comes to life for just a little while. We have embedded the video of the prank in this post, which is a copycat of one pulled by another show back in February, so Santos is not the originator of the prank.

Let us know your thoughts about these two pranks in our comments section.
