Hey there, time traveller!

Escape artist Dean Gunnarson is back among the living for Halloween, after clawing his way out of an early grave.
Gunnarson, a globe-trotting Manitoba escape artist, clambered up at about 1:36 p.m. from the steel coffin, which has been buried since Friday evening.
About 50 people were on hand to witness him emerge from the grave, which was outside the Golf Dome on Wilkes Avenue.

“I hope to see you all very soon,” Gunnarson told the crowd via microphone, minutes before launching the “escape of his lifetime.”
“It’s been a long couple of days. It hasn’t been easy. It’s been cold down here, dark, damp and claustrophobic.”
