Here’s a creepy fact for Halloween, do you know what death farts are? I invented the term just now. It sounded pretty cool so I just went with it. By death farts I don’t mean farts that can kill. There are certainly farts that smell so bad that they make you think that you’d die if you don’t get away but that’s not what I’m talking about.

I recently found out that the dead can actually fart. Creepy huh. From a layman’s perspective it is a bit spooky but once you understand how it works, it makes a bit more sense.

When a person dies, the gas is still there in his system. Once the gut relaxes the gasses have to come out and the closest exit is the butt. So they produce the death dart.

It can be startling if it comes from someone who just recently died. It makes them look like they’re still alive and just pretending.
