A lot of us see death as something that we would much rather completely avoid than, let’s say, work around every day. I just feel like knowing the inner workings of what’s going on with the Grim Reaper is absolutely none of my concern.
But there are also people who are completely fascinated by it or have norealchoice but to witness it based on the field they work in. So, whenu/8bitEclipseasked ther/AskRedditcommunity, “Redditors who have worked around death/burial, what’s your bestghost story?” People shared things that are definitely going to keep me up at night:
1.“I was once working at a mortuary and had to go pick up a man from the medical examiner’s office. When you do that (at least where I’m from), you get a receipt when they release the body to you. The receipt has all of the personal belongings that were with the deceased. When I brought the man back to the office, I opened up the body bag to make sure all the belongings were there and double-checked the receipt.”
" When I opened up the handbag , I was stunned to find this dude looked almost precisely like me . He was my historic period , had like tattoos in similar spots , had the same foresightful whisker I do , and even had the same stylus of jewelry I was wearing . It take aim me so off guard duty that I stand there in an existential crisis until the embalmer came in and was like , ' Hey ' SpartanM00 ' , how ’s it goin'—ahhh holy shit that guy looks like you ! ' It ’s the only grammatical case I ’ve had nightmares about . "

2.“I used to be a security guard at a hospital. One night, while doing my rounds, I went into the surgery wing and was walking down a hallway when I saw a doctor looking at the whiteboard where all the scheduled surgeries are written down. I said “Hello doctor” and kept going. The doctor didn’t say anything back; he just kept studying the whiteboard.
" When I got back to the security office , I was telling one of the hombre that ’s been there for old age about how I greeted this Dr. , and he did n’t say anything back . I need if that was the motherfucker they told me to ' watch out for . ' I was asked where I saw him , and I said the surgery Aaron Montgomery Ward , and he devote me a smirk . He then explained that the surgical process ward close at 9 p.m. and that all patients are move into the monitoring wards ; there should be no one there . He then asked me if this medico was studying the schedule display panel . I said ' yes ' , and he then tell me that I had just met Dr. Luisitti . plainly , many years ago , one of the sawbones went up to the helipad and jumped off the construction . It seems like he never cease working , though . "

3.“I worked as a nursing home assistant for a bit prior to grad school. I worked for a private nursing home, where I would rotate between three different houses. Each house held six residents and two staff members. When I first started, all the residents were women. One time my coworker and I were in the kitchen prepping lunch for the ladies when we heard a loud voice screaming, ‘HELP ME! HELP ME!’ We exchanged a quick glance and immediately scrambled away to check on our respective residents.”
4.“During my apprenticeship, I worked at a funeral home said to be “haunted” by an old funeral director assistant who had a heart attack in the building and died. All he ever did was mess with the chapel lights, and if you called him out, something like ‘John, the family is coming; please don’t,’ they would return to normal. I’m not really sure if I believe it was really haunted, but saying something always fixed the issue, so I kept doing it my entire time there.”

5.“I used to work in an oncology ward as a nurse. Our side rooms were kept for end-of-life patients on palliative care, and one patient that we had been nursing for a good few weeks died early one morning. The patient had moved to the hospital morgue, so all that remained was to clear the room of personal belongings and tidy up. I sent a student nurse that I was mentoring at the time to do this while I got on with the drug round. The student had known the patient fairly well and was comfortable with this job.”
" About 10 proceedings later , a colleague issue forth to me and told me that my pupil had come flying out of the side room white as a sheet and was sob in the faculty way . I survive to notice out what the trouble was , and the student told me she had been acquit out the sink sphere in the bathroom and had glance up and seen the at peace patient reflect in the mirror looking at her over her shoulder joint . My educatee was a sensible little girl , not given to hysteric , but for the remainder of her positioning on that Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth , she would not go near that side way . "

6.“I’m an ICU RN. We had a septic patient in the unit, and she was 29 weeks pregnant. She went into labor on my shift, and we delivered her baby, stillborn. I did postmortem care on the baby, retrieved the proper transport container, and walked the baby down to the morgue. It was the middle of the night, and I was in an elevator alone. I hear a baby start wailing. I absolutely lose my shit and rip open the cover, and just as I go to zip down the bag, I hear a calming male voice say, ‘Hush little one, I’ve got you; no need to cry.'”
" The outcry stop immediately . Shaking , I opened the bag and see exactly what I expected to see : a deceased 29 - hebdomad - old baby . I am a bountiful , bewhiskered 40 - year - old ICU nurse , and that was the scariest crap I ’ve ever feel . No one believes me to this day . I do n’t even want to hypothesise on what the crying or the voice were . God . Even type that out , I felt my chest tightening . "

7.“My mom told me stories when I was growing up. Her first job out of nursing school was as an RN in the ER of an old hospital in Virginia in the mid-1980s, and there was the ‘man in the hat’ and ‘patient 1.’ Most of the nurses had stories about them.”
8.“I used to work in a nursing home. The residents in certain rooms would complain about a man in their room at night, but hallucinations are common in the elderly, so it wasn’t really noticed. One night I was mopping the dining room, which had huge windows overlooking the garden. It was around 1 a.m., so it was pitch black outside and there was low lighting inside.”
" I had this horrible feeling of being watched , so I looked up , and reflected in the window was a humans behind me . He had a brown suit on , a bowler hat , and the cruelest look on his face . He grin , and his sass was too big . This happened in seconds , and when I turned around , there was obviously no one there , but I ’ll never forget that looking of immorality on his side . I paid more attention to the residents after that , and they ’d all seen the same serviceman ; he just enjoyed terrorize people . "

9.“I was an RN and working in a very well-off town in Mississippi. The hospital had two ICUs, with the second one being an overflow unit on the third floor. There were seven rooms in that unit, and room two was haunted. Numerous times, different nurses watched something walk into the room, but the room would be empty without a patient in it. One time, a nurse had an actual patient in room two. It was about 4 a.m., and the nurse was going to do a dressing change.”
" She took the hooey into the room , and the patient asked what she was going to do . She said , ' Change your dressings . ' The patient role said , ' Oh no , that other nanny was just in here about 30 minute ago and did it . ' The nanny looked , and yes , the dressing was fresh . She went out to the desk and told the other nursemaid thanks for doing that . The nurse was baffled and said , ' I did n’t deepen the dressing . ' They both freaked out a bit . Rumor has it that an atomic number 86 who had worked for the hospital for a long meter expire in that elbow room . The infirmary is now a dormitory for a handsome college , so fun times may be had by a clump of college scholarly person . "

10.“I used to be a nurse assistant on a cancer floor that also served as the hospice floor. The number of times a patient would pass and be removed from a room only to have that room’s call light continue to go off without anyone inside was just nuts.”
" And before you say maybe the light was just damaged or be active queerly in the process of removing the body , that ’s the only timeit would happen . humbled call lights , in any other circumstance , just would n’t come in on at all . "

11.“I work in a cardiac ICU, and we have quite a lot of deaths around here. That being said, we had one patient that comes to mind… I’ll call him Greg G. Greg was on the unit for months. He fought very hard to stay alive every day, and to his credit, he had been getting better for a good amount of time. Greg was fairly old. Late 70s or early 80s. The thing is, he initially looked very young and acted very hip. He became a meme around the unit, and everyone loved him because he was an old white dude who loved rap (2pac and Biggie). He also had his family bring mood lights into his room that synced with his music. I kid you not, his room was playing rap in rave mode sometimes. We called him DJ Greggie G and he loved it.”
12.“I was a cop in the ’80s. It was three in the morning, and I was walking the streets and checking business doors to make sure they were locked. A few days before, our only mortuary caught fire and burned. It was basically burned to the ground, but it was still standing, and the front door was intact. As I was walking past it, I instinctively checked the door and found it unlocked, so I went in, and the ENTIRE building was charred black. I could see nothing but black, charred wood everywhere.”
" I take the air the distance of the lobby to the asylum , and what I saw next made me step back a few steps . In the middle of this charred , melanize room , on a small stand , was a white velvet child ’s coffin that looked like it would maintain a toddler . Not . One . drib . Of . Soot . Was . On . The . Coffin . Not a specification . Nada . The full building was totally destroy , but here sat this pristine coffin . I deform and allow . "

13.And finally, “When my cousin was 18, he was in a bad wreck, and he, his girlfriend, and her sister were all pronounced dead at the scene. The police arrived to inform my aunt (his mom), and she asked that he be sent to a specific funeral home. While they were preparing to embalm him, he rose up and asked, ‘Where the hell am I?'”
