The Funeral Home Delivery

Posted on July 3, 2008

Over 8 years ago I was employed at a place called Custom Air Trays. They manufactured cremation supplies and caskets, supplying the local funeral homes. I made countless deliveries to many funeral homes around the area. One of those deliveries is forever burnt in my memory.

After parking behind the funeral home that I have delivered to several times before, I began to unload supplies onto a casket cart. I then opened the double doors to the storage area and pushed in the cart.

A lady, dressed in a long brown dress and brown plaid shirt (looked straight out of the 80′s) stood behind a table holding a styrofoam coffee cup (I figured she worked there and was on break). I pushed the cart further in just past the woman and asked her, “Is this a good place for me to put these trays?”

I received no answer and figured she didn’t hear me. I unloaded and went back outside for the second load. Once again I pushed the cart inside just past the woman. Again I asked her, “Is this a good place for me to put these trays?” Again she didn’t answer, so I turned around to speak to her again. She was gone.

She was no more then a few feet from me when I passed her. There was only one entrance in and out of that room. I ran out the room to hopefully catch her just out the door but she was no where to be found. I quickly realized what I just experienced and immediately jumped into my van and fled back to work with no paperwork signed and scared out of my mind.

My coworkers had a good laugh that day at my expense. A few weeks later I made a delivery to the same funeral home and spoke with the director to tell him my story. All he had to say was, “You should see what goes on here at night.”

    Hi Ancika,

    Just to start with – these are all my opinion, from research, experience, and conversations with some entities, and with my teachers (angelic and otherwise) over the years.

    Lots of questions .. so I’m breaking them up into sections -

    “God/our Lord loves us all and created lovely creatures – angels and love as well – right?”

    Right, or at least we who believe in a deity think so.

    “Then from where did all these demons and “bad creatures” appear? ”

    Hmm.. one theory, which I agree with, is that God gave an angel/elohim the right to choose, and the angel chose to get angry and proud, and fell from Heaven, talking with it 1/3 of all the other angels who had listened to it and agreed with what it believed. They became Greater Demons. They then created lesser demons, and other nasty entities, and then some people decided to do the same – and created more demons of various sorts.

    “Why are all these evil creatures (demons, sleep paralysis, ghosts, whatever…) so hateful?”

    Ghosts are generally not hateful, mostly they are just confused, lost, frightened or angry. They are much nicer once they get into heaven.

    Demons .. well, greater demons used to be angels, but when they fell they became the absolute opposite of what they had been in heaven .. Love became Hate. Lesser demons do what they were created to do, usually something unfriendly to people.

    Sleep paralysis is not evil – on one hand it is a natural experience of the body – where your mind wakes up before your body does and you cannot move. And then there is an experience called ‘old hag’ where ‘something’ feels like it is either standing close next to you, or sitting on you .. this could well be a negative entity trying to frighten you, and feed off your fear. I have not had either of those experiences, so I can only speak from what I have read, or heard of, from others.

    “I mean every time I ask my angel to get me rid of them I have to ask this myself: Are they really so bad? And why?”

    I don’t get ‘rid’ of ghosts, I always send them into ‘healing’, or a healing place .. whichever words suit you best … in heaven.

    Demons .. get sent to the feet of Jesus Christ, or sometimes simply into ‘healing’ as well. I recommend Jesus though, you really have to be careful when it comes to truly negative entities. This sort of work is not something I recommend to anyone. It is a calling, not a career. And yes, demons are really bad. Better not to have anything to do with them. Don’t have any illusions about greater demons meaning to be bad .. its what they are, like angels are good. Some people will debate with me that their ‘created demons’ are good .. but if they were, why do they have to be bound, or why does a person only invoke them from inside a protective pentacle, among other thoughts? No, better to stay right away.

    Changing the another answer box for the rest of your question ..

    Love & Peace
    Ama

    Hello again, here is the rest of your question and my answers. I edited some of what you wrote to keep it shorter.

    “… my dog jumped to me and with really worried face he started to jump around me and lick my hand and you know, he was just too weird – so do you think he might have seen the ghost going away, or what could scare him,that much?”

    All that love, and doggy protection, would have had the ghost leaving. Lovely animals.

    “what do you think of crosses? I mean do you think they can really protect? Cause my grandma has whole room bedecked with crosses, believing it could help, but I don’t know, I don’t think it could stop ghosts. But wearing it as necklace might be harmless, or not?”

    Wearing a cross is never harmful, unless someone yanks the chain. A cross is the symbol of Jesus’ crucificion, and very important to the Christian Faith. There is two thousand years of belief in the power of that symbol, and what Christ did for us from that cross. You can disempower it by not believing, but I believe it can be a very strong protective amulet. However, to someone from another religion, it could simply be a stand for a scarecrow. It all comes down to what you believe. I have a cross over my bed, and another on top of a bookcase in my sitting room. I believe it helps to keep a ‘quiet’ house, since I am inclined to attract ghosts. Your grandmother’s faith helped to make her crosses strong. A Christian ghost is still a Christian, it is fears that trap us between the planes, it can be our faith that carries us into heaven.

    “Also I’m going back to previous themes I created about crow totem – do you think I could damage the connection by keeping a crow as a pet or vice versa?”

    The connection to what? God? Is the bird going to be your familiar – which is a magical pet, or a demon pretending to be one? Personally, I do not like crows. They are carrion animals and not hygenic, so I would be choosing another pet. I don’t think we should keep our totem animals when they are supposed to be wild. I would rather have them come to us freely, than be tied to us by any sort of binding, real or otherwise. And what happens when you change totem? Mine, at present, is a big brown bear. :-)

    I throw the questions open to everyone else!

    Love & Peace,
    Ama

    First of all: “I don’t get ‘rid’ of ghosts, I always send them into ‘healing’, or a healing place .. whichever words suit you best … in heaven. ”
    I didn´t mean it that way, of course I meant “help them to get to heaven” but “to get rid of” was meant for all kind of evil and demons or creatures tryin to harm me. Im sorry but Im not in “this” so long as you so of course there are still million things I dont know,thats why Im asking,so it happens to me that sometimes I dont distinguish ghost from demons,but now I know that ghost are not mostly evil,so thank you I´ll keep it on mind. :)

    About the crosses: I was just asking because I wasn ´t sure if it could have any power, cause someone (I dont remember who) told in previous themes that having cross for protection is useless. But I´d like to wear it at least for jewellry,but if I really can wear it as protective amulet,that would be nice . :) Again thank you for your time to answer (honestly I dont know why but I trust mostly your answers,there is something about you,that tells, that you have really A LOT of experience )

    Again I will have to bombard you with another questions (cause a lot things happened since the last time I wrote here)
    Lately I have so many weird dreams for example: 3 days ago I was travelling with my mom by car (looong road- 6 hours) and I kind of fell asleep (well I dont think I could actually call it sleep,maybe micro-sleep,beacuse I sensed surroundings) And for a moment I felt like my soul or just (I really dont know how to call it.. :D ) left my body and I could swear for a moment I was flying right above our car,it felt so real,I mean I litterally felt the air around me,the clouds,it was amazing I felt like I was really flying,and than my mom sharply woke me up and I felt so weird like my soul was landing very slowly back to my body,I had never such experience so please help me find what was it? I can swear I was not sleeping so it was not a dream!
    Then few hours later (still in the car) I fell asleep again (this time REALLY fell asleep) and I had really weird dream that someone was chasing me (I couldnt clearly see the face but I guess it was woman and she was dragging her hands on my neck,and suddenly she started to strangle me,than I woke up with a feeling like I cant breathe,I was litterally suffocating,and tryin to catch my breathe but a few (for me really long seconds) I just could not breathe.I was so scared. What do you think was that supposed to mean??? Big imagination,or kind of demon in my dream?? I mean whta have I done to that woman??? I was just so confused,and scared. Please help me I dont want this dream to repeat :(
    Again I stay by dreams: This happened actually yesterday. I was sleeping (finally at home :) ) and I had a dream that I was in a house of my grandma sitting in the room with her and suddenly a dog appeared in our garden (it was so spooky,he appered like from nowhere,and there was everywhere sudden dark and the dog was agressive but only to me) My grandma asked me to take the dog inside (it didnt give me any sense but I did) and when I opened the door he started to jump at me and biting me so I tried to shut the door. Then there was a big silence and when I opened the door again the dog was just sitting there,peaceful face and he was really familiar).Please help me explain this. I dont know if it helps but it was beagle. (No I never had beagle,I didnt really even met one specific,but call me crazy my guessing is that it might be a dog what died and came to me to say bye? ..sounds stupid.. I dont know maybe a demon in disguise???

    Another things happening to me: Actually Im discovering this paranormal world very slowly I never hurry anything and I never have seen a ghost.Until.. I dont dare to call it a ghost (you tell me please) but yesterday at night I was going to the kitchen and when I was coming back to my room I saw a hand (white,foggy) and then it dissapeared. What was it?? Also I have seen lately some “smears” (??) or I would call it moves around me..I dont understand why,because Im praying every day (Even if I feel safe,just in case) to my angels to protect me. Here is litterally my prayer: Dear Sophia,please protect me against all evil,and creatures tryin to harm me,if there are any ghost and lost souls please find them and take them to the healing,and keep your protective hands on me by day and night. Thank you (I wrote it litterally beacuse of any possible misundrestandings..) I didnt tell this to anyone,beacuse no one would believe me (no friends,not even family..) So I beg for help :)
    And a totally beside the point question (you can take it as a bonus question,LOL) What is Seraphim? This is just for curiosity beacuse I´ve heard that its somekind burning angels or angels of fire? but i would love to know literally what is it :)

    Hi Ancika,

    The floating out of your body is known as astral travelling, and we all do it, usually when we are sleeping. You can research that topic on the net very easily. And yes, sometimes we do come back slowly, and feel groggy and disorientated, and sometimes we bounce back in, which I have done only once, and felt like I broke into a dozen pieces. That was very odd.

    The dream of the lady strangling you could be because you felt like you couldn’t breathe .. or it could have been a ghost, but I am more inclined to think your mind presented you with images from the paranormal (your interest at the moment) to wake you up fast so that you could change position and get your breathing back to normal.

    A dog, in a dream, means ‘alludes to one’s friends and close associates’. And a beagle means ‘refers to a sympathy-seeking friend’. If the dream actually is a message, I would have to wonder if someone is going to come to your for sympathy, but that person is not to be trusted .. looking at the odd behaviour of the dog. You take them into your ‘safe place’ (with grandma) and one minute they turn on you, and then next they are fine? Just keep your eyes open. (Meanings from Mary Summerrain’s Guides to Dream Symbols – I’ve found it a very accurate symbol book over the years).

    Where was the white hand and what was it doing?

    The smears .. I like to eliminate the ordinary before looking at the extraordinary, have you had your eyes checked recently.

    In either case neither of the things you saw sounds dangerous, though we can react in fear to what we don’t understand, and since you are asking your angels for help and protection, I am sure they are giving it.

    Seraphim – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seraph has a good explanation.

    Love & Peace
    Ama

    Well the white hand appeared in the hall at the night when I was just going to bathroom and it just.. apeared,like for few seconds and disapeared ( no dragging or gesture) and the smears: Well I was by my ophthalmologist just yesterday and my eyes are perfectly fine in this way,LOL. so you thing it was a ghost? or a spirit just stoping by to say hi?

  6. Ama says:

    Good morning Ancika (in Oz anyway) :-)

    Sounds like a ghost to me – who might have simply been passing through. I would not worry about it too much. If it ever happens again you can ask your guardian angel to ‘FIND’ the ghost and ‘TAKE’ it into healing. Use those words in capitals specifically. The guardians know what to do.

    Love & Peace

    Ama,

    When it takes a second to get back and you feel broke it means a VERY powerful entity wanted you to stay and the force scatters your soul around your body. It can not harm you and they cannot stop you from entering ones body completely. It has only happened to me once when I accedently opened a beast gate.

  8. Ama says:

    Hi Joel,

    Your soul cannot be scattered, but your energy can. I also knew about the entity but didn’t want to have people think I am more strange than they already do. LOL

    Thank you for this comment. I do love confirmation of my thoughts.

    One question: please explain a beast gate to me.

    Love & Peace
    Ama
