When I was a 17 year old hospital porter I had to clean the mortuary. It was an old mental hospital so only a small mortuary. Unknown to me a colleague had gone down there and hid in pone of the store cupboards I was sweeping up and he jumped out at me, I broke the broom handle across the top of his head. He never tried anything like that again
We did something similar when I was a young Plumber. We were installing Central heating in a nursing home . It had a small chapple / morge for the family to receive their dead loved ones . We had this new apprentice who was very cheeky so at lunch time I told the two older guys I was going to make a phone call . Wink wink . When lunchtime finishes one of the older guys told the Young chap to go in to the chapel and bleed the air out of the radiator and turn it on . They said someone had passed away but be respectful and don't be long. I was on the table with my shoes and socks behind my head and a sheet over me. When the guy came in I sat up and moaned loudly. I head a scream and the door busting open . The two old blokes were in stitches laughing. The kid didn't forgive us for a long time . He had a panic and asthma attack in the car park. Ha ha . Fun times .
My Nan was in the fire service in WW2. She spent a good period of the war in a military hospital recovering from injuries. That makes her sound so remarkable but they were from dicking about with the fire crew at the top of the pole and she fell down xxx god bless her xx she loved that job
Please share more stories. Don’t let them die with your family. They’re worth sharing for us all. You was in The Troubles and that enough makes you a living historical figure whether you like it or not 😂
I gotta say, there's no one that tells stories quite like you do. Thanks a lot for sharing that kind of thing, Kevin! That last story in particular got me good!
Lovelovelove hearing these personal stories, you're an incredible story-teller Kevin. Reminds me of storytime in primary school, being all crossed legged on the carpet, with how you tell stories. Brilliant as always!!
Ohhhhh but you were a wicked lad ....... ! I worked in a hospital for 39 years .One job was the transport of patients to the morgue .This was long ago - but when one other transport aide and I worked together .....under our breaths we would sing - " Another one bites the dust " - or mutter - " Bring out you'er dead......," The hospital morgue inspired many adventures and tales 😉
I totally understand, or rather don't understand as I've not had to do this on a daily basis and become desensitised to somebody dying. If this was your grandmother or a close family member or friend even who was one of the closest people to you, would you want to think a porter was doing this whilst wheeling them down to the morgue? I'm guessing not. All that could have been saved for after you wheeled them to the fridge.
I really enjoy your personal stories too. In grad school, one of the topics I spent a long time researching was the history of the London Metropolitan Police, especially homicide investigation in the mid-Victorian period (before fingerprinting, blood typing, etc.). The history of crime & policing in Britain is endlessly fascinating to me :)
There's a good bit of similarities in our military and civilian careers. I was with the M.E.'s Office as well. Yes, there was "gallows humor" in private otherwise you'd go nuts... I recently saw a video by a London Tour Guide telling of an old morgue at the base of Tower Bridge to collect the"floaters"
Always enjoy you channel. Because of my job I spent a lot of time at the Dover Mortuary for our U.S. Military. I was also put in charge of the Navy section of the Joint Family Assistance Center ( Stood up in a hotel near the Pentagon for the families of those killed in the 911 attack on the Pentagon. I know how dealing with death can affect you mentally without you even realizing it until later.
Yo Kevin can you tell a story about what it was like growing up in your part of England and what are some of your first memories that are relevant to Who you became later in life. By the way I absolutely love your style of storytelling it makes you feel like you’re there!
I was a secretary to a pathologist in the 80’s in a very small hospital. Because we were small I often did non-secretary work including carrying specimens from surgery to the necropsy room. One time this included an amputated leg that I had to carry in my arms, wrapped in a bag. It was surprisingly heavy! I rarely saw corpses but the ones I saw I remember. One was just a baby that broke all of us. He looked so perfect. A chubby six-month old that just looked like he was asleep. The scariest though was a young man that had been murdered by drowning. I’ll never forget the look on his face of shock and terror and because he was in rigor at the time, his hands were held up in front of him as if fighting off someone. I was told it was really just because of the way he was floating in the pool. So very sad and something that sticks with you forever. I never had to go into the room alone though. I’m very glad of that!
Greetings Kevin, this reminds me of an experience I had as an aviation safety officer for a southern state here in the US. It didn't have a happy ending, unfortunately. We had a fatal crash and post crash fire. As part of the job I visited the crash site on the grounds of the airport just five days after the accident. As we arrived at the site we were struck by the pungent sweet odor present. It wasn't distasteful, but disturbing when you realized that you're smelling the burned victims of the crash. That stayed with me, every time for the next two weeks when I smelled something sweet, I was back at the crash site. So I guess, to those reading, tread lightly with the police, firefighters and emts. You don't really know what they are working through. God bless Kevin.
Kidding you wouldn't wet your pants with that last story !!!! What a laugh . With the first one , you could say it really hit the fan ;-) Great stuff Kevin & Thank you ...
Intriguing stories. Morgues are always an interesting place albeit that I have never been to one. I have seen many in urban exploration videos where people sometimes go into abandoned hospitals though. The differences in construction fascinate me. Lovely story telling as always!
Another personal story. I did ask for that and thanks for bringing another one here. And now that I have had a good laugh at the first story because we have all been there, big brave guys in a situation with the macabre and suddenly surprise and we are running like rabbits. Although the first thing I thought of, ya got to go close the doors. lol. And the pranks people do to blow off steam. Gallows humor is the way we handled the things our minds could break if we didn't. Good to hear them.
I love all of Mr Hicks videos. They all are worth a look. After the Army. My Dad was a security guard at the hospital in La Grange Ga. When a brand new Aid or Orderly was pulling his 1st shift, night shift btw.There at the morque and had wheeled a body of a person that had just died in the ER into the cooler area. My Dad saw him running from the cooler. A little known thing about a body just after death is. Other than passing gas sometimes moaning as air leaves the body. Is that its muscles sometimes will contract. Well that corps had went and actually sat up just as the poor fellow had stopped pushing the cart. He never returned to his next shift.
Loved it. As a young nurse on night duty. A patient died. We had to lay them out etc. Then rang the Porter to take pt to the Motuary. Only one available so I had to go with him. Middle of the night , he opened the big doors first time i had been there. I saw what looked like a tree trunk. I said George what is that. Oh he said they found it in the Sand dunes yesterday. I left him there & ran back to the ward. I should have been in the Olympics . Hope that made you both have a laugh. Xx😊🇿🇦
Absolutely brilliant!! People who have born witness to the worst of society do develop a certain type of humor. You must, or else it will eat you up inside.
I used to do peace officer work in a local hospital, and at least once a shift, we had to do a patrol of every area, we were allowed to go in/out of most rooms as long as it wasn't a danger to ourselves, or disturbing someone in their office. I went into the morgue once, and I didn't know there was currently a dead guy being examined. That's not even the most unfortunate part, the worst part was he was pulled from water after 3 weeks. Will never forgot that sight, or smell. I didn't go into the morgue after that one lol. That last story was hilarious, you guys are evil, I love it.
Hi Kevin 👍 thank you for sharing this with us 🙂 I have been the first on the scene of a car crash that resulted in a double fatality. I won't pretend to understand your role but I think I have had an insight and have a lot of respect for what you have done.
Thanks so much Kevin for sharing these stories with us, I hope you have a warehouse full of 'em for future Videos. We, from now on, will expect more of that stuff coming for us 😁
Oh, my! Not exactly my type of humor, but I do understand you have to release your emotions some way! So glad you survived to tell your wonderful stories!
Excellent!!!! 👍😅😅😅 I thought for sure you were going to say that the head out body was an alive person playing a prank on you!! Haha!!! During school days my besties father was a director for a large cemetery. We had more fun in the cemetery than we should have been allowed to!! Creeping around scaring people to playing security "busting" lovers in cars trying to have time together in darkness. It was always hilarious times!! Bring out your dead!!!! LOL 😅😅😅
I know a cop in Ireland who did some of the same thing. I wish I could do the way he told it justice, had us busting our stitches in laughter. They would convince the new guy ever time they got one that they were pulling a prank on the sergeant by putting them in the morgue drawer and the rookie would pop out and scare him when he came in and just like your story they left him in the drawer for a while. And when the panic started to set in the sergeant Iin the next drawer over reached over and touch his arm, saying,"it's cold in here, isn't son?". And of course the rookie would freak out, everyone else had a great laugh, then rinse and repeat with the last new guy helping to prank the next new guy. I guess this gag is more common than I thought.
i have not yet finished the video and im so pleased to hear the way you tell everything. i love the way you get down to the nitty gritty, the guts, the gore of everything. i am so glad i subscribed, i hope for more videos that are just as interseting as the other ones! now as i have finished this video i cant believe my ears🤣. youre such a lovely man, the last story got me laughing rolling on the floor😂.
Oh these were funny! You gave me a good laugh! During WWII my dad had a new recruit to the morgue detail. After he picked up the bodies one had sat up on them. Scared the new recruit so bad it took my dad most of the day to find him!
I used to be a pathology attendant many moons ago, about 40 or so moons ago. While I do beleave in the paranormal, in the whole time I worked there I never saw or heard a thing in way of ghosts or voices. Saw many physical things I think would turn most stomachs. Thanks for sharing Kevin, NO NEED TO RESPOND!
Hello Kevin 😊 tremendous as always . We've come to expect nothing less from ur crew. My 80 Yr old mum is now an fan of the story teller with that charming twinkle 😊😊
Haha. That was a wicked trick you played on that poor young probationer, but really funny. Like you said. It's Gallows humour. It is also character building, I would think.
Hahahahahahahaaaaaa! Brilliant! Positively brilliant! The 1st story had me chuckling from your description of the body cart. I pictured the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Eric Idle calling out "Bring out your dead!" and then the 3rd story made me actually laugh out loud! (which I very seldom do when I'm alone) Thanks Kevin, for yet another great video!
Loved this video Kevin. Made me wish I could've showed Mom it. She used to love a chat and visit from you and this topic would've been right up her street
Please do more of these srories, you really do have a great way of telling them. Not to mention having a very evil look on your face......the look of the mischievous kind. You're great, I love you Kev, you really are a great story teller 😂 ❤❤❤
Fantastic mate. Gallows humour, the best way to get through the bad times and the best way to build peoples resilience to what they will encounter doing a challenging job. Keep it up mate. As always fantastic content and expertly delivered. 🤙🏻🆎
Greetings once again from nova Scotia, my God man, I laughed so hard, I snorted coffee out me nose. As a Cape Bretoner, I can honestly say, look dear I nearly died......I needed this today, thank you dearly, you out did your self. Best regards, Arthur
Your stories from the morgue are hilariously but naughtily funny! I'd hate to be that poor probationer; I'd have left a dent in the tray above too! And the one above that!
Had an uncle who served on corvettes in WWII, as a stoker. During a maintenance period he was inside the boiler when they closed it up. A similar hazing ritual.
I was the Funeral Director on call for the Coroner for a good ten years. I used to love taking new police recruits around scenes ;-) but then I’ve also had some really great police officers support me when I needed it too. Seen more of humanity than I ever wanted to x
I'm a refrigeration engineer & with a previous company about 25 years ago I used to service & repair those body fridges at undertakers. I didn't really have a problem working around the deceased. But one day I was working at one of those places & was walking along a corridor in the basement when all of a sudden the lights went out, the staff had forgotten I was working there & turned the lights out, it was pitch black. I started imagining sounds around me & in my panic felt along the wall for a light switch, found what I thought was one & pressed hard. The fire alarm sounded & I realised I'd pushed the fire alarm glass cover so hard that I'd broken the glass & activated the fire alarm. The building was evacuated. They did see the funny side luckily.
When I was a 17 year old hospital porter I had to clean the mortuary. It was an old mental hospital so only a small mortuary. Unknown to me a colleague had gone down there and hid in pone of the store cupboards I was sweeping up and he jumped out at me, I broke the broom handle across the top of his head.

As the butt of a lot of jokes I really get a kick out of this! Sweet revenge! 🤣

chapel/morgue
As a former firefighter/emt I can certainly relate. We did these pranks to relieve the stress and often depressing things we dealt with.
i subscribe a channel run by an active firefighter/paramedic who has done these pranks before and pokes fun at them on his channel
My Nan was in the fire service in WW2. She spent a good period of the war in a military hospital recovering from injuries. That makes her sound so remarkable but they were from dicking about with the fire crew at the top of the pole and she fell down xxx god bless her xx she loved that job
Please share more stories. Don’t let them die with your family. They’re worth sharing for us all. You was in The Troubles and that enough makes you a living historical figure whether you like it or not 😂
You MUST do these storytimes on a regular basis, you're great at it 👍👍
Thanks
I gotta say, there's no one that tells stories quite like you do. Thanks a lot for sharing that kind of thing, Kevin! That last story in particular got me good!
As a modern day Bobby it’s moments like this that stick with you through your career 😂.
guess it’s really why you always have a spare pair of trousers in you locker 🤣
Lovelovelove hearing these personal stories, you're an incredible story-teller Kevin. Reminds me of storytime in primary school, being all crossed legged on the carpet, with how you tell stories. Brilliant as always!!
Oh wow, thanks so much
*Delightfully* devious tales from otherwise grim circumstances. Thank you Mr. Hicks and The History Squad!
7:20-7:27 Kevin's "sinister face" is brilliant 😄
It is! Reminds me of Vincent Price!

I used to work in a hospital and those stories brought back lots of funny things that we got upto. Love your channel Kevin, keep it up 👍
"Cold in here, innit?" - Nearly fell out the chair laughing! Good one guys! 🤣🤣

Yep, I’ve heard that too.
That was such a good story, I love hearing your own life stories Kevin, you have certainly lived!
Thanks Vicky 👍🏻
Reminds me of a book I've seen dead people diary of a deputy coroner by Donna Francarte.
That last prank scared that bobby for life I bet 🤣🤣
Always enjoy you channel. Because of my job I spent a lot of time at the Dover Mortuary for our U.S. Military.

“In my defense, I was left unsupervised.” 😂😂😂
That last story.....OMG that was HILARIOUS!!!!!
Your personal stories are always entertaining and enlightening, I love them! Thanks Kevin.
"cold in here, isn't it?" CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Linda, thanks for sharing your experiences there, children really are the ones that affect you the most. Those flashbacks still make me recoil.

I have some great prank stories to tell with me and the nurses of the licensed victulars nursing home that I hope to share one day 👍
Oh wow!! That last story was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!
That brought back soooo many memories. Loved the last story.
Wonderful story teller! Totally enjoying these, Thank You!
Hahahaha they were great stories Kev !! I'm still chuckling over that poor sod that was asked , "Cold in here in't it ?" hahahahaha 👍
Absolutely love your stories. You’ve lived a life that few others know about and it is so wonderful to be able to get a glimpse into it.
Absolutely brilliant!! People who have born witness to the worst of society do develop a certain type of humor. You must, or else it will eat you up inside.
Man I really love this channel
Fantastic stories
These are gold thank you !
My favorite story teller. Absolutely love these stories. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a few personal stories. They were enjoyable, and show a good sense of humor, and human feelings as well.
I used to do peace officer work in a local hospital, and at least once a shift, we had to do a patrol of every area, we were allowed to go in/out of most rooms as long as it wasn't a danger to ourselves, or disturbing someone in their office.

I didn't go into the morgue after that one lol.
That last story was hilarious, you guys are evil, I love it.
Ewe yuck, I know what you're talking about. 🤢
Cheers mate 👍🏻
Hi Kevin 👍 thank you for sharing this with us 🙂
I have been the first on the scene of a car crash that resulted in a double fatality.
I won't pretend to understand your role but I think I have had an insight and have a lot of respect for what you have done.
What a great story teller
Thanks so much Kevin for sharing these stories with us, I hope you have a warehouse full of 'em for future Videos. We, from now on, will expect more of that stuff coming for us 😁
Top notch stories, sir. I do enjoy your channel!
Interesting stories. I love the red rose.
As always excellent thanks a bunch.
A few stories with broken noses! Gotta luv it! Cheers
Oh, my! Not exactly my type of humor, but I do understand you have to release your emotions some way! So glad you survived to tell your wonderful stories!
Thanks Darlene 👍🏻
Excellent!!!! 👍😅😅😅 I thought for sure you were going to say that the head out body was an alive person playing a prank on you!! Haha!!!

Another great video thank you so much!!!
My partner was a Bobby when he lived in England, you must have a lot of great stories and memories for us to hear
‘We police men don’t run from danger, we run towards it.’ My credo to a T! Thanks for making this video!
Sometimes got to look on the bright side to get through the day. What an excellent finale, Never forgive, Never forget .Best ever.
That has to be the greatest prank of all time
That's just to funny...love your videos sir...thanks and keep them comming
Great stories. Thanks!
That third story had me in stitches. I can see why he never forgave you.. 👍😂
I know a cop in Ireland who did some of the same thing. I wish I could do the way he told it justice, had us busting our stitches in laughter. They would convince the new guy ever time they got one that they were pulling a prank on the sergeant by putting them in the morgue drawer and the rookie would pop out and scare him when he came in and just like your story they left him in the drawer for a while. And when the panic started to set in the sergeant Iin the next drawer over reached over and touch his arm, saying,"it's cold in here, isn't son?". And of course the rookie would freak out, everyone else had a great laugh, then rinse and repeat with the last new guy helping to prank the next new guy.
I guess this gag is more common than I thought.
For sure 😜
i have not yet finished the video and im so pleased to hear the way you tell everything.
i love the way you get down to the nitty gritty, the guts, the gore of everything.
i am so glad i subscribed, i hope for more videos that are just as interseting as the other ones!
now as i have finished this video i cant believe my ears🤣.
youre such a lovely man, the last story got me laughing rolling on the floor😂.
🤣 thanks Freddy
Dark humor the way we cope. How many coppers have tales like this So good to hear no matter where you are a member there is humor.
After 22 years in the Military - Gallows humour is second nature..... your second story was HILARIOUS!
Oh these were funny! You gave me a good laugh! During WWII my dad had a new recruit to the morgue detail. After he picked up the bodies one had sat up on them. Scared the new recruit so bad it took my dad most of the day to find him!
🤣
I really love this channel. Personal stories kept me just as enthralled and entertained as the “usual” fare found here.
I used to be a pathology attendant many moons ago, about 40 or so moons ago. While I do beleave in the paranormal, in the whole time I worked there I never saw or heard a thing in way of ghosts or voices. Saw many physical things I think would turn most stomachs. Thanks for sharing Kevin, NO NEED TO RESPOND!
Post mortem Cadaveric Spasms... And a young ER rent a doc who pronounced someone who was still alive...
Love this story. Also appreciate that you said that police should be running towards danger, not away from it. :)
Hello Kevin 😊 tremendous as always . We've come to expect nothing less from ur crew. My 80 Yr old mum is now an fan of the story teller with that charming twinkle 😊😊
Haha, thank you & thank your mum too 😜
Thumbs up. Not for the naughtiness, but for the style of narration. Very entertaining, indeed. Thanks.
Haha. That was a wicked trick you played on that poor young probationer, but really funny. Like you said. It's Gallows humour. It is also character building, I would think.
LMAO - That was a purely naughty prank in the morgue Kevin... Thanks for sharing.
Hahahahahahahaaaaaa! Brilliant! Positively brilliant! The 1st story had me chuckling from your description of the body cart. I pictured the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Eric Idle calling out "Bring out your dead!" and then the 3rd story made me actually laugh out loud! (which I very seldom do when I'm alone) Thanks Kevin, for yet another great video!
🤣 cheers Doofus, glad you liked the stories 👍
I've been reading your comment section and agree love the talks and to hear the stories!
“But boy did we laugh.”
Mission accomplished.
You tell it all great♥️♥️♥️
I love videos like this! You are a fantastic story teller!
Great story’s
Loved this video Kevin. Made me wish I could've showed Mom it. She used to love a chat and visit from you and this topic would've been right up her street
Oh how lovely, thanks Sarah 👍
That is a very funny, but mean, story. :) Thank you and have a great day.
They run to the danger, not away from it? Are there any British police officers interested in working in Texas?
They're too busy harassing native Brits for objecting to the migrant invasion of their homeland.
😂 Love it!
What a fantastic set of stories. You are wildly entertaining!
Thank you very much!
Alas, I've exhausted your Personal Stories Playlist, Kevin. From the other comments, I know I'm not the only one who could stand to hear more. =^[.]^=
Haha, I have one edited and tucked up my sleeve and lots more on my to do list. Cheers Ray 👍🏻
Please do more of these srories, you really do have a great way of telling them. Not to mention having a very evil look on your face......the look of the mischievous kind. You're great, I love you Kev, you really are a great story teller 😂 ❤❤❤
Fantastic mate. Gallows humour, the best way to get through the bad times and the best way to build peoples resilience to what they will encounter doing a challenging job. Keep it up mate. As always fantastic content and expertly delivered. 🤙🏻🆎
Cheers Paddy, will do 👍🏻
Greetings once again from nova Scotia, my God man, I laughed so hard, I snorted coffee out me nose. As a Cape Bretoner, I can honestly say, look dear I nearly died......I needed this today, thank you dearly, you out did your self. Best regards, Arthur
😜
Always a good time with the cops!
Love your "work" stories! I giggled so hard from the new guy in the freezer! LOL!
great stuff, thanks.
A great story and you told it perfectly.
Lovely Saturday morning, cheers Kevin!
PS 2:40 nice pun mate!
😜
That first story, Kev! Haha, sounds like the departed were having a bit of a laugh at yours and the paramedic's expense
Your stories from the morgue are hilariously but naughtily funny! I'd hate to be that poor probationer; I'd have left a dent in the tray above too! And the one above that!
Had an uncle who served on corvettes in WWII, as a stoker. During a maintenance period he was inside the boiler when they closed it up. A similar hazing ritual.
I was the Funeral Director on call for the Coroner for a good ten years. I used to love taking new police recruits around scenes ;-) but then I’ve also had some really great police officers support me when I needed it too. Seen more of humanity than I ever wanted to x
👍🏻
Excellent stories!
Glad you like them!
I'm a refrigeration engineer & with a previous company about 25 years ago I used to service & repair those body fridges at undertakers. I didn't really have a problem working around the deceased. But one day I was working at one of those places & was walking along a corridor in the basement when all of a sudden the lights went out, the staff had forgotten I was working there & turned the lights out, it was pitch black. I started imagining sounds around me & in my panic felt along the wall for a light switch, found what I thought was one & pressed hard. The fire alarm sounded & I realised I'd pushed the fire alarm glass cover so hard that I'd broken the glass & activated the fire alarm. The building was evacuated. They did see the funny side luckily.
🤣 Nice one Phil
