Summary

Working in a funeral home comes with its own quiet heaviness—but what happens when that weight feels like it’s coming from something… or someone… still lingering there? Accompanying their partner on late-night removals, our storyteller always sensed a sadness in the air—confirmed by coworkers who described the same oppressive atmosphere. But when a ghost-hunting app started spitting out eerily specific words—like “spade” while filming a shovel, or “disrespectful” during the moving of a body—it became clear that something was trying to communicate. Digging deeper revealed a name: Zachary. And once everyone in the funeral home began greeting him, the strange activity suddenly stopped. Was Zachary simply waiting for acknowledgment? Or was this the spirit’s way of saying goodbye?
