16 Creepy Mortician Stories

14.

“I worked in a Mortuary for a few months because I needed a job and it was at night. My job pretty much was to check in the bodies as they were brought in and put them in our cold storage room. One night they brought in two bodies, back to back, from a convalescing home. I didn’t have time to put the first away yet, so I put it off to the side while I signed in the new delivery. The people leave and I go back to the first body and noticed that it wasn’t exactly as I left it. When I left it the body was flat on its back and when I got back it was sorta scrunched up. I backed the hell out of the room and just sat down.”

“The mortician came out and saw me pale as a ghost. I told him what happened and he laughed. He then proceeded to explain to me sometimes the body will curl up after death because of rigor mortis and after that’s done it’ll go back to being limp. He proceeded to tell me that some cases are so bad that the bodies sit straight up. He ended up putting the bodies away and I spent the rest of the night freaked out.”
