It's Strange but it's true........ (1 Viewer)

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Had to get this off my chest. Possibly the most surreal experience of my life. My Uncle sadly passed away down at his home near the Emirates on New Year's Eve. It fell to me and my brother (and sister-un law) to clear his flat. Keen not to shunt too much stuff, we put the feelers out to his immediate neighbour, (salt of the earth) to check if anything would benefit anyone in thee neighbourhood. Got rid of a few things, and helped a few people out, when we had a request from a lady a couple of doors away - have you got a freezer. Yes, we said, it has some food, but you'll have to check it's ok. So we humped this freezer to her front door (flat) and she said 'leave it there, I can manage' She was 7 stone wet through, so we refused to let her carry it and she reluctantly let us enter, muttering 'it's not to everybody's taste, I'm a bit of a loner'. I had my back to her door and my brother said 'mind the skeleton' which I promptly elbowed into. Inside, it was almost pitch black in her main room. but I couldn't miss the 7 foot Frankenstein in a vertical coffin, alongside a mummified body in an upright coffin. There was also a coffin on the floor alongside her TV (these were real coffins by the way) and while my brother was positioning the fridge in her kitchen (behind black draped curtains, with at least 50 skulls in it, together with a seated body on a chair, and another body dangling from the ceiling where the fridge was to go) I realised the little light in the room came from a dvd playing on her TV (evil dead, or some such) and there was a hand on a stand clutching a book entitled 'Evil lives. or something similar' I was gutted I hadn't filmed it afterwards, but as we left having declined the offer of a cake(?!) she offered us a tenner each. I said 'no, quid pro quo' - we've helped you and you've saved us having to get rid of it. She laughed and said 'Quid,# pro quo - Hannibal Lecter'. We left, pinching ourselves !!

She had real dead bodies??? Is that even legal?

Frankie wasn't, but my brother has been about a lot, and he swore that 'some' were?! She works part time in a hospital, was smoking weed and had coffins tattooed on her neck. We did joke that she could have sorted out our Uncle's body for us (gallows humour!)

Ha, fair play Harry, I would have been out like a shot!

She didn't show you her special room then? Full of restraints and sharp knives?

Luckily the glow from her screen didn't allow for a full scan. I didn't realise about the skulls in the kitchen until I helped hoist the freezer on top of an existing fridge, whilst having the feet of one of her inhabitants dangling on my shoulders, as I foolishly found myself wedged in the corner of her kitchen. My brother and I agreed we had been in less scary ghost attractions at amusement parks.

see you on the news in about 10 years time.

... just as long as you don't say " she seemed like such a normal lady - kept herself to herself....', and all that, when being interviewed on TV about the mass killer that used to live next door to your uncle.

Not as surreal as that but on the subject of coffins. A customer of mine was in America last year, and was on a work project or such like. He was going into a huge warehouse/ hangar building, and it was absolutely massive. And inside from floor to ceiling were thousands of brand new shiny expensive coffins.
He asked who they were for ? They told him it was top secret and nobody actually knew. All they were told each one would be needed in the near future. It spooked him as he works for a factory not specialising in the death industry. Very eerie !

Sorry for your loss Harry. That sound like a scene straight out of Psychoville, It's a shame you didn't film any of it, I would have loved to have seen that.
