The expanding gas could also make the corpses sit straight up, and because they were in shallow graves, they would break through the surface of the soil. This would not be a comforting sight for a feudal age peasant.

I bet the peasants totally freaked. Imagine, walking through a field at night with bodies raising up!!!
