Default Matthew 27:50-53-Night of the Living Dead

Do you think anybody would have noticed what occurs in this passage, and wrote it down somewhere apart from the bible? Are there any extrabiblical accounts of earthquakes and zombies in Jerusalem? Don't think so. Also if all the prophets and kings were wondering around, would it be such a big deal when Jesus himself showed up a few days later?

That is just some dramatization to show that religion did a good number on Jesus and the zombies were just the forces of religion now left stranded without an ego to impute.

I wonder what "natural" explanition this could have?

All Thinktank really states is that it was part of the messianic fufillment. Beyond that, it does not give any better explanation. The only loophole I can think of is that nobody recognized them, and the old kings and prophets just hung around for a bit before either returning to their tombs or "ascending" Jesus-style.
