Poltergeists

Inside Tomlinson Funeral Homes, a poltergeist would play tricks on Dave and Regina. Dave has been in multiple funeral homes with a poltergeist.

“It would make the lights come and go on and off,” Dave said. “We had these things called Porgera lamps; these great big lamps put on the end of the casket. I would have apprentices go, ‘I think you have to change the bulb.’  I’d just go, ‘No, it’s just the ghosts. They’re having fun.’ The water fountain would come on and spray water. Sometimes water would come out of the ceiling where there were no pipes or it wasn’t raining.”

Another funeral home Dave worked in he was there before the haunting sound of a woman’s high heels clacked on the marble flooring in the front of the funeral home, walking up and down the hallway.

“A lady had died, and all of her children had died young in accidents,” Dave said. “I was there when her last child died. She had a heart attack, and died in the funeral home.”

Out of all the funeral homes Dave has worked at, he’s only felt a “foreboding” once. He had worked there for about a year and a half.

“At night, when I would come out from embalming, I had to seek my paperwork up front, and it was really dark there,” Dave said. “I got a really evil feeling. I didn’t want to go down in the dark out there. I didn’t check those doors.”
