This may sound eerie and incredulous, but it is real. Mr. Samuel Okem had in 2013 secured a job as a security guard in the popular St. Gerald Catholic Hospital in Kakuri, Kaduna State to make ends meet but a series of strange occurrences at the hospital forced him to quit barely one year
after.

Before he was engaged by the hospital, Okem, who hails from Ogoja in Cross River State, had for years engaged in one menial job or the other after his elder sister brought him to Kaduna in 2005. He at first began work at a security company as a guard. He quit the job in 2006 and engaged in other menial jobs before he secured appointment with the Catholic hospital.

I HAVE SEEN SO MANY STRANGE THINGS SINCE I STARTED WORK IN THE MORTUARY BUT THE LAST TWO REALLY BAFFLED ME, WHICH MADE ME TO LEAVE THE JOB IMMEDIATELY



Okem was posted to the mortuary section of the hospital to work as security guard by the hospital’s management. But his joy and dream of having a means to eke out a living and also fend for his family were soon cut short by the series of strange experiences that followed his being deployed to the mortuary
section.

When he broke the news of his new appointment to his sister, Okem said she objected to it, warning him that he might not find it comfortable to engage in such a delicate job meant for older people, who must be equally willing to patronise ‘spiritualists’ for protection and to ward off the consequences of working in such an environment.

According to him, when he told his sister about his new job at the hospital mortuary, she sternly warned him, saying, “I did not bring you to Kaduna to work in the mortuary. If anything happens to you, I will not be held responsible because there are other meaningful jobs around which you can engage yourself in.”

Shortly after Okem resumed duty at the hospital mortuary, things took a different dimension at his duty post. He claimed that sometimes he would feel some strange current course through his system with his head ‘swollen’.

He also noticed, after a short while, that the mortuary attendants would always knock three times on the door of the facility before opening and going inside to either deposit a new corpse or bring out an old one for preparations for
burial.

Okem also claimed that he noticed that some conversation drills usually took place among the dead bodies inside the mortuary, which, at first, he could not comprehend.

He said his investigations of the strange voices later revealed that the corpses usually interacted with one another whenever the mortuary doors were not opened. Okem said part of their conversation drills he eavesdropped on included questions on the circumstances surrounding their demise.

“What was responsible for your death? Where did you hail from? Who and who did you leave behind? These were part of the questions I would usually hear them asking one another,” he
said.

Okem, however, had to hurriedly quit his job at the hospital mortuary in 2014, barely a year after he secured the appointment as a security guard.

A strange incident that still beats his imagination and gives him sleepless night whenever

Hmm

Truly there is a thin line between life and death.
