Eerie photographs show the remains of an abandoned mortuary so haunted the old caretaker and other staff refused to enter the building

Disembodied voices have supposedly been heard in the former NHS mortuary in Surrey, which still contains the old logbook holding the names, ages, possessions and burial preference of people who have unfortunately come through the building.

‌It shut due to NHS funding cuts in 2008 and has remained derelict since. This week, urban explorer Ben James, 32, surveyed the creepy building and spoke to the former caretaker, who said he avoids the place even today.

Ben, who lives in Cambridge, also took pictures of the still-intact waiting area filled with religious relics that looks like it was still being used today. The explorer, who works in the medical field, filmed the old refrigerators where corpses were stored before cremation or burial, now thankfully empty but gathering dust.

The logbook details the names, ages and details of what the deceased possessed on them at the time they entered the mortuary, such as jewellery and personal belongings. Ben spoke with the caretaker of the building, who stated that he refused to enter the building due to hearing disembodied voices at night when the building is supposed to be empty.

Other staff refused to enter the mortuary due to the eerie feeling and being convinced that it is haunted, which has left the mortuary untouched for years.

“We met the caretaker who said he doesn’t even want to go near the place because apparently he can hear voices at night, which is pretty insane. He said he won’t even go inside it and that’s why staff have refused to even clean it out," Ben said.

"It was closed in 2008 due to funding cuts from the NHS and the mortuary has pretty much remained intact since. It even still has the book of all the deceased that states their ages, names and even what items they had on them when they got there such as jewellery. The place is very still and eerie. The fridge and the mortuary trolley were still intact.”
