Just image. Some poor unlucky guy fell hitting his head and went unconscious. Quack doctors said he died and buried him. He woke up later and clawed his way out of his grave. He was happy to be alive. However, villagers thought he was a revenant and killed him for real. That type of thing could cause all these rumors of undead running around.
