Death industry's SECRETS exposed: Insiders share their creepiest 'ghost' stories on Reddit thread
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The death industry has always been shrouded in mystery and taboo, with many people being decidedly uncomfortable discussing the business of funerals and burials. However, a recent thread on Reddit has shed light on the industry, with insiders sharing their most surprising and bizarre experiences.
One person posted on Reddit, "Redditors who have worked around death/burial, what’s your best ghost story?" One person responded, "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. 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."

'Dead doctor' never stopped working
Replying to the question, a person who claimed to be a hospital's security guard recalled how he encountered a doctor, who died of suicide some years ago. The person wrote, "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, just kept studying the whiteboard. When I got back to the security office, I was telling one of the guys that have been there for years about how I greeted this doctor and he didn’t say anything back, I asked if that was the a**hole they told me to watch out for. I was asked where I saw him and I said the surgery ward, and he gave me a smirk. He then explained that the surgery ward closes at 9 pm and that all patients are moved into the monitoring wards; there should be no one there. He then asked me if this doctor was studying the schedule board. I said yes and he then told me that I just met Dr. Luisitti. Apparently, many years ago, one of the surgeons went up to the helipad and jumped off the building. Seems like he never stopped working though."
'Staff killed himself in there'
Another one said, "When my father worked at a mortuary, there was one incident where the muscles contracted so that the head turned and looked at him through the little window. The only time he ever felt spooked working there." Recalling a "creepy" suicide, another insider said, "Honestly, the only creepy thing that happened when I worked in the morgue is that one of the staff killed himself in there and I just can’t imagine wanting to die in this cold, grey place surrounded by corpses."
