I'll start off by saying that I have been in the funeral profession for many years. Having said that, let me relate my own experience, and personal feelings about the possibility of funeral coaches (hearses) being haunted.
First of all, this happened to me one night back in 1993. Our funeral home had received a call from a local hospital that someone had passed away, and the family had requested us to handle all the funeral arrangements. Okay.....no problem. I got to the funeral home to pick up the removal van which was in the garage stall next to one of our coaches, and as I got in the van I happened to glance over and saw somebody sitting behind the wheel of the coach, staring at me. It scared me so badly that I quickly started the van, put it in gear, and left tire marks in the garage where I had "peeled out" of there! I immediately got on my cell phone and called the police, sitting across the funeral home in our parking lot, all the while watching the garage to make sure nobody came out. One of the police officers that showed up pulled up along beside me in the parking lot and was taking down information while waiting for someone to back him up before he attempted to go in the garage.
After his back up arrived, both officers went in the garage........and quickly came out. Although this was a hot night (around 85 degrees that night with high humidity) the officers said that the garage was so cold that they could see their breath in there! They both swore that they had indeed seen "something" sitting in that same funeral coach, but the person, or "thing" had disappeared upon further examination. These officers put that down in their report.......almost exactly in those words.......that they saw "something" sitting behind the steering wheel of that car, but "it" was gone on further investigation!
That night my uncle and dad decided to get rid of that coach as soon as they could, both of them saying that they had "uneasy vibes" about that car since the day they bought it. The next morning they called a funeral coach dealer in Georgia to trade in that coach on another one. As I later found out from my dad, the owner of the funeral home that that coach had belonged to died in that same coach one day while getting ready for a funeral, apparently of a heart attack (yes, this is all absolutely true!).
Am I saying that the person sitting behind the wheel of that coach was the former owner? No.....I'm not necessarily saying that at all. Whoever, or whatever that was in that car that night I felt was almost pure evil. It actually sent chills down my spine for a long time afterward.
It should be noted that after we got rid of that coach and got a new one, nothing else happened again. Evidently though some of the other employees around the funeral home had their own experiences with that coach, because shortly after we got our new one I started hearing whispers about that "cursed car" finally being gone!
Perhaps it was the tormented soul of someone that had taken their final ride in it........still somehow stuck here in this dimension. Frankly I don't know, and I really don't want to know either.
Seeing that some of these cars literally carry thousands of bodies during the course of their service life I feel lends creedence to he fact that they can well be haunted.
