Also included in this fear are the people, objects and ceremonies associated with death such as undertakers, morticians, coffins, tombstones, cemeteries and funerals. In a another way necrophobia could also be used to mean a fear of the dead by a cultural group, that their spirits will return to haunt the living, causing them harm in some way.

Necrochatamancy
Necrochatamancy is the act or practice of reviving a dead chat that you had completely forgotten about. It is brought about either through making everyone aware that you have not spoken for months or by sending a rather dank meme and ignoring the fact that no one even wants the chat to exist. Necrochatamany was an activity turned competition sometime in March 2020. Although the origins are not completely known, we can assume someone texted in a dead chat, thereby reviving it. Necrochatamancy is practiced to this day, and chances are that every month or so you'll see someone pull it off and bring an old group of people back together for the sake of curiosity, or to achieve the state of "not bored." You know you have achieved a successful necrochatamancy when your phone will not shut up and you realize what a mistake you made.
