Detectives, What Supernatural Event Happened During A Case? r/AskReddit Reddit Stories | Top Posts

cops and other law enforcement people have read it what were some cases you worked on that made you think even if for a moment that something supernatural paranormal was going on emt here once had a call at our local mall show up and an eight-year-old was having breathing problems her mother aunt and cousin had just been caught stealing and it was late at night we assumed the breathing problem was stress induced once we got into the back of our unit she looked my partner and myself in the eyes and said that she lived at a bad place she said she lived with demons and i at you not as she described the demons the heart rate plummeted to 90 bpm to 45 bpm in a matter of seconds my partner and i looked at each other and immediately started trying to lighten the mood and preparing for a code she ended up being okay i will never forget that experience edit yes once we had her stable police were definitely involved my medic contacted cps as well my grandpa was a rio in vietnam basically the guy who told the pilot where to go and what was ahead one day him and his team is finishing up a mission and one of his buddies in another jet barrel rolls over them he then descends into the clouds they never saw them again he just vanished they searched for weeks but no crash site no communications nothing just poof gone edit holy crap this blew up for clarification it was an aerial roll not a barrel roll sorry i was tired and they were coming home from a mission they were over friendly territory when he vanished they were over the cloud line so my grandpa isn't sure of where exactly they were when he vanished former emt firefighter here one night we got a call to do a wellness check on someone who dialed 911 but didn't respond to the operator we pull up to the address and the house looks perfectly quaint and a little old lady greets us at the door we asked her if she knew who placed the call but she told us that she lived alone since her husband died we barely got back to the station before a call comes in again same address as before so we drive back out talk to the old lady again then leave again and just as we get back to the station same call same address no response we drive out there again believing that the old lady must have been confused but this time when we pulled into the driveway the old lady wasn't at the door to greet us there was no reply at the door but it was unlocked we take a peek inside to find the old lady was on the floor and wasn't breathing we rushed in to help and got her to a hospital in stable condition and she woke up in the ambulance she still claimed that she never called us and that we arrived almost immediately after she had fallen it was a 15-minute drive to her house from the station before she was admitted to the hospital she asked me and another emt if we could bring her knitting needles and bag of clothes to her in the hospital i offered to pick up her stuff because i had a friend who lived in that area and we were gonna hang out anyways i pick up my friend and drive to the ladies house i ran inside to grab the bag and knitting stuff while my buddy sat in the car but just as i was leaving i swear i felt a hand on my back and heard a voice say thank you when i get back in the car my friend asked me why couldn't the lady's husband being her stuffed to the hospital i explained that her husband was dead but when i said that my friend said but i saw an old guy in the window he smiled and waved at me at first i refused to believe in anything supernatural so i called the police and asked them to do a sweep of the house i thought it was a squatter nothing was out of the ordinary and no one was inside i later brought my friend to visit the lady he started describing the old dude who was in the window but the old lady almost immediately started tearing up and said that's my herald when i was in afghanistan on guard duty i turned to see this huge panther in the middle of a farm field the thing must have been 30 feet long my heart started pounding like crazy and i just about radioed it in then i realized my nods removed depth perception and i was seeing a normal cat about five or so feet in front of me on the guard shack ledge obligatory not my story but when i read this i thought it was pretty ducked an elderly lady phoned 911 and requested that they send some policemen down to her house because she saw a shadowy figure lurking in her backyard she was living by herself at night and didn't feel safe watching someone through her window when the policeman arrived the door was unlocked they walked in and found the lady seated facing the window and they went to go check the backyard there were no signs of anyone attempting to break and enter and nothing was missing she had very tall fences surrounding her property making it nearly impossibly for anyone to get into it they did however find footprints on the inside of her home it was quite possible that she had left the door unlocked and wasn't looking outside but rather at a reflection of someone inside of her home behind her this is unexplained and probably just coincidence but i still never mention it to my coworkers i spent some time as a homicide investigator we would respond to all apparent suicides and investigate them just to make sure it wasn't a homicide usually we determined a motive for suicide and found a note or other indicator that the person killed themselves one guy just taped a note to his chest that said happy now [ __ ] and made sure his wife found him after he hanged himself but occasionally you get a case where all forensic evidence indicates that the person killed themselves but there's no note and no discernible reason why this person would be suicidal these are people in good health with decent careers and a seemingly happy family life but who knows what's really going on with someone here's the part that freaks me out i've worked maybe 10 suicides like this the last three before i left homicide homicidal had the same thing at the scene these was a little decorative wicker lighthouse at each location it was the same lighthouse same design and painted white and blue it stuck out to me the first time because it was by the bed where the body was but two weeks later i saw the same damn lighthouse on another suicide and even pointed out the coincidence to a patrol officer a few months later i go on another suicide and i see that same wicker lighthouse that's when it clicks that it's always been unexplained suicides i go back and look at crime scene photos from every suicide i've worked in two of them i see what could be the wicker lighthouse but the angle is often there's too much junk around to say for sure i don't know i thought it was creepy as hell but i transferred a couple of months later and i let it go edit well that got more of a response than i was anticipating to answer the question of was it a serial killer i very much doubt it these were clearly suicides most of which had no feasible alternative explanation we work every suicide as if it were a homicide an apparent suicide is almost always a suicide but we are on the side of caution also while serial killers are actually more common than most people think they rarely leave calling cards or anything like you see in movies it's usually some ducked up dude that has a particular taste i really do think it was an odd coincidence but it was still pretty dark and creepy i am a cna in a local hospital one of my patients just had a quad bypass open heart surgery and i went in to check her vitals the room was dim and the hall was quiet i'm looking at her and in the corner of my eye i see something dropped from the ceiling out of nowhere it makes a big clunk sound and i turn to see what it could be there's nothing there at that moment my patient looks up at me and say my dad's here passes back out i finish my job and leave when i would go to that floor again as a floater i would hate to go into that room not lebron paramedic fire late summer night responding to a call in a rural area my partner and i were driving down a winding two-lane highway in the middle of nowhere no light of any kind other than the headlights and moon we are coming up on a sharp right turn when i see a man traveling across the grass from an area brush he's moving very quickly and smoothly as if hauling us on a bicycle no up and down motion like running obviously i'm pretty confused about a hillbilly on a bike in the middle of the night but not surprised he comes to a tree and stops it's about this time we're driving by him look out window and see a man standing next to this tree with no bike or anything in sight just standing there staring at the truck passing by my hair is standing up we continue towards the call and i asked my partner if he had seen that guy his response is man i thought i was crazy edit for clarity am i doing this right he could have been freakishly fast running old school ghost road hid the bike or i could be a plain dumb ass perhaps sleep deprived is a better description oh what made it so freaky was the speed he floated across grass gravel the abrupt stop and then the stare been doing this for years and it's the only thing that could come close to paranormal adding to the creepy factor was that we were miles from any house store or bar edit also for some grammar my dad used to work as a correctional officer at goldman jail in australia which is probably one of the oldest and hardest prisons there a story he tells of his time there is one i always remember he said that the whole place was creepy anyway not helped by some of the inmates at the time including the notorious ivan millet on which aussie wolf creek is based anyway first thing he noticed was that dogs would outright refuse to enter the prison he said they couldn't get them past the gate no matter how hard they tried but the creepiest occurrence was one night when they heard the sound of running booted footsteps everyone was in their cell so they couldn't figure out what was causing it next thing all the doors of the open and unoccupied cells on the top floor were banged shut one after the other with loud clangs then they see the source of the running noise now dad swears this is what he and his colleague so he has another witness saw apparently they looked up and saw what looked like disembodied hobnail boots run down the aisle right over their heads banging as they went dad decided to stop working in the prison not long after this super creepy not a cop but had one tell us a story when i was in like gr six i lived in pay prince edward island we had the opportunity to talk to an officer it was supposed to be like a dare program thing at the end we got to ask questions and of course red be the typical questions that kids would ask like did you ever shoot anyone he shot at but didn't actually shoot anyone or so he told us then someone asks what's the creepiest thing you've seen i probably don't remember all the details because it was years ago but it went kind of like this there was a small island just off the coast of pay and one night people had called the police to report a baby crying from the island the police show up and sure enough they hear a baby crying they make their way over to the cries but when they get to the island the crying stopped they searched everywhere and guess what they found nothing no baby or any sign that someone might be there they started to leave the island and immediately the baby crying starts up of course they go back and it stops i can't remember how long they were looking but they haven't found anything and you could tell it has been bothering him for a long time by the way he talked about it it always creeped me out and i doubt i'll ever forget about it weird things happen on pay edit added clarification about what payers cop here partner and i were dispatched to a welfare check elderly guy nobody had seen him in a few days mail overflowing in mailbox mr doctor's appointment car hasn't moved etc we both know we are about to find a body we arrive on scene and can't get anyone to the door look through the window and sure enough we can see his foot on the floor in the living room my partner is a corporal and pulls rank and makes me go first door is unlocked and as soon as we open it we smell a mostly fresh dead body almost relieved we both enter and he tells me to check vitals on dead dude he is obviously dead with liver duty dried faces on him and dried saliva around his mouth so i go to stand over him and see if i can get a pulse at which point he takes a deep breath rolls over and asks why we are in his house at this point we both start screaming oh it's and what the duck says we both run out of the house we called ems and they transported him said they couldn't get a blood pressure or pulse on him i think he died a week later in the hospital i still get jokes about raising the dead i was an emt for a while we got a call about someone who was riding their bike at a breakneck speed when they hit a car head first without a helmet we went over immediately despite the fact that it was broad daylight and we were in the middle of suburbia on a saturday nobody even came to check on this poor guy seriously the streets were empty usually a massive crowd gathers around violent accidents like this so his skull was pretty much smashed in and he was unresponsive it was the worst head injury i'd ever seen we assessed that he had a major skull fracture a concussion and he was bleeding profusely he was also missing teeth and had a minor road rash but fortunately he wasn't missing much skin to give you an idea of how bad it was this was the kind of injury that most people don't survive if you did survive you'd basically be a crippled vegetable normally we would have moved him off the road but when someone has a head neck injury that isn't very safe my partner who was also training me as i was still kinda new went to check his pulse while i began to unload our gear he crouched down felt for a pulse for a while and then stood up and opened his mouth to say something suddenly the guy ducking jumped up he didn't use his arms to pick himself up he just ducking jumped to his feet it startled the two of us he looked at us smiled and attempted to grab his bike we tried to stop him but we didn't exactly want to wrestle him to the ground given his condition he gets away from us and bolts into the woods without his bike my partner was in even more disbelief than i was he just stared at where the man had run off mouth egg then he turned to me and muttered he had no ducking pulse man i asked him if he was sure and he swore up and down that the biker was clinically dead we contacted the authorities for assistance and they sent a search and rescue team into the forest i don't know if he was found or not because we normally don't get much information about patients after they go to the professionals keep in mind that this was the pine barrens so they had a lot of ground to cover my best guess is that he went to a loved one's house out of confusion what i found odd about that is head injuries bleed like ducking hell so you'd think the guy would leave a long red trail of blood for the cops to follow edit grammar i originally typed on mobile sorry edit too it seems i left out some details 1. i'm not an emt anymore i was only an emt for about a year i decided the medical field wasn't for me and i switched out to pursue computer science two don't get emt and paramedic mixed up we are only taught the basics of first aid and then we just take a test it's basically the lowest level job you can get in the medical field so we can't legally pronounce someone dead in fact we almost always leave fatal accidents to the more qualified people had this person actually been dead we wouldn't have done much three i didn't mean this was a fatal accident the shock wasn't that he just sprung back to life but rather that he was alive despite lacking a pulse 4. the guy was riding his bike very quickly through a suburban area when he struck a parked car the car was a hatchback parallel parked on the street the house the car was parked outside of was presumably who called us in but for whatever reason people seem to think that you can just call us and be done with it it was a bit out of the ordinary that nobody seemed to notice that an accident happened though five i have no idea what happened to the guy head injuries usually cause people to become violent and cooperative but you've got to be very careful with them because moving their head neck around too much can cause damage to the spine when he got up it really took us by surprise and it didn't help that he moved pretty damn quickly as he attempted to grab his bike my partner attempted to grab his arm he pretty quickly slipped away and ran we immediately contacted authorities and told them they arrived we told them what we knew and then they sent a small team to find him i imagine they did find him because he clearly was never reported missing if he had i imagined the news would have jumped on it the first responders are never really given information about a patient after they do their job so i can't say for sure what happened to him after he ran i can say with complete confidence that he had no pulse when we found him but somehow he was still alive edit three my inbox is ducked i really didn't think this was that interesting thanks for the karma edit for i owe a friend of mine a favor and i decided to pay it back by seizing the opportunity to shamelessly promote his music for him it actually is kinda good though i wouldn't be helping him out here if i didn't think so here's his band camp please give him a chance he works really hard on this stuff and i want to see him succeed i work in a pre-civil war town that has lots of antebellum homes that survive the war ghost hunters have been to the town on several occasions there is this one antebellum mansion that is more of a museum that gets alarm calls semi-frequently every time the side door to the house is open and the kitchen has all cabinet doors and drawers open every ducking time a caretaker says it's been happening since she started looking after the place about 30 years ago we didn't clear it without backup not a cop but was told this by a cop on the night shift a couple years back about three in the morning the sound activated alarms at the local school were triggered the reason they picked up on small children laughing the cop gave a big nope to that call and just half-heartedly shined a spotlight on the area from his moving car [Music] not my story but my husband's he is a correctional officer and was working the night shift he told me that around two almost three in the morning he had to do rounds and accounting as he was passing a cell he said he heard an inmate bang on the cell door and scream help he ran back to the cell told the tower officer to open the door as he shines his light in the cell the inmate that is housed there wakes up asking if everything is okay it left him confused for the longest time my husband no longer works the night shift my partner and i received a 911 call from an old woman having a dispute with someone we get to the house and she says she alone we say who are you having a dispute with he says oh justice spirit in one of my rooms immediately me and partner look at each other and give the olay she's elderly it's prob dementia or something along those line as we're talking to her she's explaining how sometimes a bad spirit comes around he states that he's in the back room and of course the lights don't work we try to tell her that spirits probably aren't in her house and we have to get to another 911 call she insists we check it out so we do now the house the way she was speaking about spirits made me believe something was there when we got the room and she opened the door seeing a ghost wouldn't have shocked me she did say that it's usually in the corner up on the ceiling well that corner was dark and had the freakiest shadow that legitimately was terrifying my partner and i shined our flashlights on the whole room and thankfully nothing was there we told the lady nope you're good nothing going on here i said to her if you feel there's a spirit there the nypd cannot help you go to a local church religious institution of your choosing and best of luck we got the duck out of there bedtime check lights off check quick look at reddit check supernatural emt police cases hum okay 4 am still awake wtf was that former inmate in a small county jail in oregon at about 2 a.m one night the radio in the pod started squealing really loud all static screeching one of the cos came in and turned it down changed the station walked back out next day when i was working in the kitchen one of the nicer ceos came in and was talking to us about what happened the night before apparently on the video of the pod you can see something of a shadow come out of one of the cells and move to the radio about a minute later there was a flash in front of the radio before it got loud unfortunately i ended up back in jail and got placed in the cell the ceo said the shadow had came out from something about that cell creeped me out it almost sucked the thoughts right from you some edits i was in jail for being a general pose nothing with drugs touching kids or anything just being a pose a time of life i regret daily i spent about 11 days in the cell and after maybe the third i was asking to get put somewhere else even pc protective custody if you're in a thing like me your mind runs a million miles a minute as soon as you walked into the cell you just felt empty all emotions all thoughts just drained hp edit it was dementors my dad used to work as a co corrections officer at a rural prison he drove perimeter which just means he made circles around the jail in a truck checking empty buildings for runaway inmates and just generally being bored for eight hours every night one night my dad is parked on a hill just reading a magazine when he starts to feel a thumping in his body he described it as the feeling you get when speakers are playing a song with really heavy bass and you can feel the bass in your whole body anyway he puts the magazine down and checks his rear view and he sees someone outside the truck he grabs his pistol and jumps out of the truck weapon drawn when he gets outside he sees a procession of native americans walking through the truck and directly through his seat only to disappear at the exact spot he was sitting he said it was clear they were ghosts because many of them appeared injured this went on for a few seconds and then whole procession disappeared he called the other perimeter guy on his walkie to try to explain and the other guy almost immediately stopped communicating turns out the other guy had seen this happen before but didn't believe in ghosts so he wouldn't talk about it patrol officer here this is not my story but my partners and all three officers on scene verified this story too so my partner responds to a priority breaking and entering call a house sitter dog sitter calls and says that he can heal out banging and footsteps coming from downstairs the ground floor and he should be the only one home the house sitter and the dog are both upstairs dog is in a cage so officers respond priority including a canine officer police release canine into the house first to clear the house k9 comes out empty-handed three officers then go inside the house and clear it themselves again nothing and nobody inside officers then step out front with the house sitter that called 911 as they're telling him the house is empty they see the curtains of the bedroom window on the second floor open the heavy curtains and they parted from the center so they claim it couldn't really be possible from air vents kicking on or anything like that and all three officers and the house sitter will see it then the guy asks police to come back inside with him because he is going to take the dog to a different home for the night and he needs to get the dog out of the cage the police refused to go back inside with him not the best example of public service i was a cop for about five years and worked for a boss that used to tell this story all the time just a warning this story contains self-harm so don't read if that will trigger you when he was a rookie and got his first car they mostly walked back then he patrolled his district and decided to check out this cemetery area kids often went back there as it was near a skate park to do extracurricular activities as he drove up he saw a person who had hung himself from a tree he immediately called it in in the scene was properly investigated well the weird part is the next night he became curious so he went back to the same area the tree was gone the city had not put in any work orders to cut the tree the city i worked for did not do that type of thing as it costs money and the city was too cheap there was also no stump in the ground there was no place the tree could have gone he was in that spot for about six or so hours during the investigation so he was familiar with it it spooked him at the time obligatory not my story but my uncles years ago my uncle told us about a woman who would call the police station just about every night claiming that fairies or elves were breaking into her house and stealing her food as is custom every time she calls they send a unit to check on her my uncle gets it about 2-3 times per week every night they stop by her house and reassure her that no one has broken in and calm her down one night when he gets to the house she has poured powdered sugar all over the floor to record their tracks and my uncle says he literally has to do a double take all over the floor of her kitchen are these little tracks tiny like nothing he's seen before his partner starts taking photos and trying to figure it out few other officers come in as most of them had gotten a call to her house too and want to see it 10 police officers all completely baffled as to what these weird little prints are turns out a possum had babies and they were sneaking into her kitchen for warmth or food the prince looked so foreign because most of the time baby possums are carried by their mother not running around seven are rounded up and released in a less residential area not a cop but i used to work private security for a bit i worked at a shopping mall my partner and i already had a feeling this place was haunted one reason being the homicide that happened right before i was hired the very west of them all made the hair on my neck stand up the most and i don't know why it's also good to know that there is an animal shelter at this end of the mall you can see the cats and dogs through the windows at night they would bark and whine a lot one night i was walking to that end of the mall and i started feeling like someone was following me or walking behind me when i got to the shelter none of the animals were making noise but i swear to god all of the ones that were awake were staring at or behind me i got really bad goosebumps and a horrible feeling in my gut i put my head down and walked as fast as possible out of the closest door once i was outside all of the negative feelings went away you
