Actually history is full of alleged resurrections, even Christian history where many saints are supposed to have done it. Then of course there's the superstitious belief in Zombies, Vampires etc. that still persist in some places today, where people claim to have seen, interacted with or even spoken to their deceased loved ones.
The only thing unique about Jesus' resurrection is that Christians say it's unique even though there is no good reason to keep it separate from other supposed cases of reanimation (except perhaps the claim that Jesus was supposed to be a god, but the there's nothing unique about gods coming back to life either, is there?)
