This is what I've always wanted. However, my hope is that in a few hundred years when the tree finally dies, the wind will blow it over and some hiker will find my skeleton tangled in the roots. Ideally it will scare them, it will be my last prank.

Startup idea: ultra durable light-sensing box that can survive hundreds of years underground, then emits a horrible screaming noise when unearthed.

If it also includes spirits like those that fly out in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I'll pre-order it.

I've seen similar articles a few times. Not to uncommon it seems.

Yes, I recall that one (tragic)! Here's another story that initially gave me the idea:
