I got so drunk, I passed out — and woke up in a coffin

A traumatized man claims he was offered up as a human sacrifice against his will.

The shocking incident purportedly occurred during the Mother Earth festival in El Alto, Bolivia, on Aug. 1.

Víctor Hugo Mica Álvarez, 30, was a guest at the annual event, where indigenous groups gather to worship the goddess Pachamama by making offerings to her.

Álvarez alleges that he was drinking heavily during the festival and subsequently passed out. Hours later, he awoke with the urge to urinate — only to realize he was lying inside a glass coffin, covered with dirt.

“We’d gone dancing,” Alvarez told local media, according to Jam Press. “The only thing I remember is that I thought I was in my bed and I got up to go pee, and I couldn’t move anymore.”

“When I pushed the coffin I barely broke the glass and, through the glass, dirt began to enter,” Alvarez harrowingly claimed. “[But] I managed to get out. I had been buried.”

According to Metro, once Alvarez gained his bearings, he realized he had been transported to Achacachi — about 50 miles from where he had been drinking at the start of the festival.

Cops, however, were not buying his wild story.

The officers allegedly told the terrified man that he was still drunk — and ordered him to head home and sober up.

But Alvarez insists he’s not a hoaxer, and immediately shared his story with local media.

Meanwhile, Metro has reported that Alvarez has no doubts that he was offered up as a human sacrifice to Pachamama, declaring: “They wanted to use me as a sullu.”

The publication claims that a “sullu” is any item offered up to the goddess, with sweets, medicinal plants, eggs and minerals commonly handed over.
