The most unforgettable experience of my life occurred at the funeral parlor in the early morning. I saw a deceased individual sitting upright, leaving a lasting impression and causing me to urinate in my pants out of sheer terror! This eerie encounter happened two years ago when I began working as an undertaker. My father has played piano compositions at funerals for over thirty years, and my grandparents have also been involved in similar professions. Therefore, experiencing various types of funeral ceremonies has become a routine part of my life.
After obtaining my funeral instructor license, I worked as an undertaker for six months. However, one night in September proved to be a turning point for me. It all started with a phone call at 1 o’clock in the morning. My boss notified me that we had three cases to attend to. Without hesitation, I quickly prepared myself and made my way to the funeral parlor.
Upon arrival, I dressed appropriately and began the process of washing the body. The deceased was a young man aged between 28-30 years old. His cause of death was determined as suicide due to an overdose of sleeping pills.
During the process of washing and dressing him, I observed an unexpected movement in his finger. Initially, I believed it to be a figment of my imagination, but to my astonishment, he awakened shortly after by opening his eyes. Without delay, I hurriedly departed the room to seek assistance. Shortly thereafter, the administrator accompanied me – a senior woman in her 60s who questioned the validity of my account and acknowledged that such occurrences occasionally occur.
Upon his return to the body, his eyes close. The administrator believes he must have been giddy. However, in the next moment, the body opens its eyes and sits up! The administrator exclaims “Oh My God!” and quickly leaves the room. I follow suit and we immediately call the police and an ambulance. After ten minutes, both emergency services arrive and enter the room to assess the man’s condition. Fortunately, he is still alive and is promptly taken back to the hospital.
Amidst all this chaos, I realize that my fear was so intense that I ended up urinating on myself, causing immense embarrassment. Regrettably, after four days, we learn that the man has passed away. This leads me to quit my job as well. This unforgettable incident will always stay in my memory.
