13 People who work in job fields involving death share their creepiest ghost stories

The question was, "Redditors who have worked around death/burial, what’s your best ghost story?"

Newsroom June 16 02:11

A lot of us see death as something that we would much rather completely avoid than, let’s say, work around every day.

But there are also people who are completely fascinated by it or have no real choice but to witness it based on the field they work in. So, when u/8bitEclipse asked the r/AskReddit community, “Redditors who have worked around death/burial, what’s your best ghost 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 bag, I was stunned to find this dude looked almost exactly like me. He was my age, had similar tattoos in similar spots, had the same long hair I do, and even had the same style of jewelry I was wearing. It took me so off guard that I stood 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 case I’ve had nightmares about.”
