These three true morgue horror stories are based on real events. When the steel doors of the morgue slide shut, the silence holds unspeakable secrets. What happens when death isn't the end?

This collection of chilling medical horror stories opens a drawer into the darkest corners of places meant to honor the dead. We begin with a tale that blurs the very definition of life and death, where a morgue worker doing his final rounds discovers the impossible: movement from inside a sealed body bag. What follows is a frantic medical investigation into a phenomenon so rare, it feels like a violation of nature itself, leaving a family and a doctor to question if a diagnosis of death is ever truly final.

Next, we enter the sterile theater of an autopsy room, where a senior pathologist and his resident examine a missionary who died of a sudden, unknown illness. But when they make their first incision, they uncover a biological nightmare, a parasitic horror beyond their wildest imaginations. The true terror, however, begins after the discovery, when a single, careless drop of fluid starts a ticking clock on a new, horrifying infection for which there is no name and no cure.

Finally, we pull back the curtain on the ultimate betrayal of trust. A grieving widow donates her husband's body to a prestigious medical school, believing she is fulfilling his final wish to help science. She is comforted by the professional and reassuring morgue manager who promises to treat the remains with dignity. But behind the locked doors, that same man is running a gruesome black market, dismembering and selling body parts to the highest bidder in a horrifying business that operates within a shocking legal loophole. These are not just scary stories; they are chronicles of events that reveal the terrifying fragility of life, trust, and the thin veil that separates the living from the dead.
