Not Quite Dead Yet

It was the early 2000s, and young David O’Shea III, a.k.a. D3, was working under the tutelage of Superintendent Greg Walters at a local funeral home in Springfield. D3 was enjoying his career as a carpenter apprentice and working in the field, but there was one job that haunts him to this day.

Greg and D3 were tasked with replacing the windows at the funeral home, which seemed like a straightforward job. But the duo soon learned things weren’t as they seemed. During this project, Greg and D3 had to enter the building through the maintenance garage that required them to use a code to open and shut the garage door.

“There were several incidents where the garage door would open/close on its own without anyone entering the code. It was the most bizarre thing,” D3 said.

It was so strange that D3 confessed to Greg that he didn’t want to keep coming to the jobsite.

In the end, Greg and D3 completed the project, but D3 will always have a creepy feeling when he thinks about this job.

“I don’t know how the garage door moved on its own. There’s no logical explanation for it. I think whoever was controlling the door wanted to trap us there,” he said.
