My Most Terrifying Night as an Embalmer — We Were Forced to Stop

Описание: My Most Terrifying Night as an Embalmer — We Were Forced to Stop

I’ve worked as an embalmer for over a decade.
I’ve handled thousands of bodies.
I know the difference between a postmortem twitch and something that shouldn’t happen.

This story takes place during a routine embalming procedure in a small prep room in Ohio — stainless steel, fluorescent lights, the hum of a pump, and paperwork that said everything was final.

But halfway through the procedure, the body began to respond.

Not randomly.
Not violently.
Not like a spasm.

It reacted to pressure.
It resisted contact.
And when we tried to stop, the response didn’t stop with us.

What followed wasn’t panic — it was protocol.
A supervisor who wasn’t surprised.
A red folder already prepared.
A category name we weren’t allowed to ask about.

This isn’t a ghost story.
There’s no blood. No jump scares.
Just a biological rule that failed when it wasn’t supposed to.

If you work near the dead, you already know why this story is unsettling.
If you don’t, you’ll probably try to explain it.

Maybe you can.

The question is:
If you were in that room — would you have stopped the procedure… or continued?

I read every comment.
Especially the ones that disagree.
