“My friend and I were digging a latrine and hit blonde hair.”
The first time I realized this was around 3am and I had to check something in the morgue.
I looked and this dead dudes eyes were looking in my direction.
Except his next had stretched, and I mean a good 10/12 inches.
The head and body were found separately, a week or two apart.
Body was found first.
I dont know why.
In retrospect I think I saw something that wasnt right and instinct told me this goes here.
The old timers laughed and teased me a few times.
One of them pulled me aside and told me its not the first time someones done that.
It wont be the last.
I have heard of other people doing similar things but havent personally witnessed it.

I was transporting a man with liver disease and diabetes.
I wore my fucking gloves after that.
She says it was one of the most unsettling moments of her career.
Apparently he quit his job shortly after.
She asked, why is there such a strong smell of almonds in the room?.
None of the doctors could smell it, but the passing nurse could.
They tested the body and it was cyanide poisoning.

Still alive
Worked the graveyard cleaning crew for a hospital in my early twenties.
One of the unexpected aspects of the job was removing recently expired patients to the morgue.
It didnt bother me much that they were dead, just that they were now creepy life-size dolls.
There was only one instance that spooked me bad.
We both freaked the fuck out and screamed for the nurses, who came running.
Woman was stone dead, no breathing, no heartbeat, no brain activity, nada.

Checking the morgue
I was the night watchman at a mental hospital.
Walking into the morgue scared the shit out of me.
There were 3 drawers and I had to open each of them and check that they were cool.
I was convinced that somebody or some body was going to be in one of the drawers.
The sense of foreboding I had when I opened those drawers literally made me sweat.
Every little creak, bump, or tick of the condensers made me jump.
I started listening to my walkman to try and calm myself down.
(Yes children, it was that long ago.)
Then I thought that maybe something could sneak up on me while I was plugged in.
My freakout level was now about 9.5 when I went in there.
Nothing ever happened, but I still freak out when I think about it.
I worked there for about a year, then had enough money to start university.

Talking
I work at a funeral home.
We just finished setting up a body and were leaving for lunch.
I was the last the leave since I wanted to straighten up something before the funeral.
I walked into each room and nobody was there besides me and the body.
This was about 6 years ago and Im still freaked out to this day.
Its something that will never leave me, especially the smell.

Camping
My friend and I were digging a latrine.
And hit blonde hair.
That is a smell you will never forget.
