21. I really hate that door-pounding noise
I work evenings at a funeral home. Unless we have an evening recitation of the rosary or a visitation, it can be pretty lonely. About a year ago, my husband stopped by on a slow night and bring me dinner.
We heard the doorbell for the front door ring. I go up to answer it, but there was nobody there. Eh, ding dong ditch, no big deal. Go back in the office where my husband is eating his burrito. We heard the damn doorbell ring AGAIN. I get up, go to the front door…nobody’s there. Okay, the doorbell is glitching out, or SOMETHING. Nothing paranormal about it.
As I’m walking back to the office, my husband is walking to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. We cross paths in the hallway in front of the locked embalming room. He asks me if anyone was at the front door. I reply, “no, it’s probably some asshole kids playing around–”
Just then, we hear the most awful, angry pounding on the embalming room door… FROM THE INSIDE.
I’m stunned. He’s stunned. I told him to go back in the office while I checked out the prep room. (Legally, for obvious reasons, he’s not allowed in there.) I unlock the door, alone and nervous as shit. All I see is just a sweet looking elderly lady already casketed, ready for the service the next day. No one hiding under the surgical tables. No one in the cabinets. No one in the refrigerator.
I keep looking for a logical reason for why the embalming room doors rattled so violently, but I can’t find any. I never told any of my coworkers about it because I’m afraid they’ll think I’m not taking my profession seriously. I was afraid to work nights for a solid month.
