Night Shift Worker's Stories of Paranormal Activity | Reddit Paranormal

night shifters ever witnessed a paranormal activity if so what was it few years ago when i was working in a casino at 4 00 a.m when the casino was closed we found one of the slot chairs laying on the ground these chairs are quite stable and heavy as all hell to accommodate so many people sitting in them all day when we looked at the surveillance videos the chair is up against the slot machine then just leans back and falls over onto the ground none of the legs broke and we couldn't find any damage that was the talk of the casino for a while i was staying at my hostel room while one night after alp i felt like someone touching my hair and moving hand throughout my face but thought it was my roommate but when woke up my roommate was not there and later next night i saw some strange figure in my room door while entering from outside and it was creepy night shift nurse here i worked in a rural hospital that was pretty old the nurses station faced a long hallway that was known for something everyone had witnessed it at one point or another this thing was like a shadow but you couldn't see through it completely solid it had a habit of limping down the hallway and disappearing or poking its head out of doorways and staring after people who had just left the room day or night you had this feeling that you were being watched as you walked down that hall there were other rooms with issues two the cool light would go off without any patience being in that room patients calling out and asking why there was a man coming into their room staring at them and then leaving and the elevator doors would open and close on their own i'd rival late night limo shuttle service for my place of employ one night i'm driving one alimo style shuttles i'm almost to the destination with just one couple in the back they are a little bust and [ __ ] chatting among themselves the area of this destination is not a great neighborhood so there's a lot of homeless and generally shady people wondering about all hours of the night and i'm very used to seeing them however on this particular trip i look over towards this little concrete island that has a yield sign on it i see a figure covered in what looks like a raggedy cloak now i'm still not alarmed because it's not uncommon to see homeless people throw blankets and such over their heads and this was late october so it was getting cooler at night but then i noticed how ducking tall this person slash thing is it is as tall as the yield sign so it had to be like what 12 to 14 feet tall now i'm in a bit of shock then i see the thing lift its arm up and point the arm is unnaturally long and the skin is dark gray it took everything in my power not to slam on my brakes and yell out what the duck but i don't think sending my loving couple flying onto the floor of the limo because i thought i saw the grim reaper would have gone over well with my manager speaking of a couple they apparently didn't see it at all as they were still enamored with whatever they were chatting about i dropped them off hurriedly did the papa work and zoomed back over to the area it's only like a block from the club and of course whatever i saw was gone oh i got one so my last job was a central supply tech at a tissue bank meaning i would clean and sterilize the equipment used in the processing of human tendons skin muscle and bone i wasn't a third shifter but i worked second shift two days out of the week one day my job was to gather all the dirty equipment from the processing rooms and bring them down the hall to be deckend most of all the other jobs in central supply you had partners this particular job you didn't have a partner so i was completely alone taking equipment some of which were coated in flesh and blood on carts down to where we wash them off which was creepy by itself it was gross it was also eerily quiet you could hear the swords and drills in the processing rooms but that's about it now the processing rooms were set up to have like a little chamber so that the techs could toss their dirty equipment onto a cart and then i would come get it without coming all the way into the room you know for sterility reasons and the doors leading into the chamber were automated but you had to wave your hand in front of a little sensor that way you can't set them off by just simply walking past them now i was taking some dirty equipment out of one room when i heard the sound of one of the doors down the hall open i didn't think much of it sometimes the techs accidentally trigger the door to open when setting things on the cart however this happened like three or four times within the span of like 20 minutes and at total random it wasn't like something was stuck in the door and it was just trying to close no i hear it slide open then it would slide close and then it would be a couple minutes later that it would slide open again so i went to check it out and ask if the text needed something as i was walking towards that direction i even witnessed it open by itself and when i got to the room the room was empty there wasn't a team doing any processing in that room there was no reason for the door to open and closed like that and i think it did it only one other time that night i told the manager as i was leaving that night that way if it was an issue with the sensor someone could look at it but no one else experienced anything like that from that specific room i also never experienced it myself but one of my friends was in the locker room getting changed out of scrubs when she heard the door open and heard footsteps she didn't think much of it until she was leaving and saw absolutely nobody there there's only two doors that go in and out of the women's locker room both of which are super loud and beep when you open them because you have to swipe your badge to get in from what i was told that happens quite a lot but only in the girls locker room we work at the he top of a moderate skyscraper the building shifts and you can hear the wind on a blustery day but nothing abnormal one night around 10 p.m i was sitting in our office alone i heard a loud bang of an overhead cabinet and popped up to see who was there to chat with walk over to that area nobody there wit something must have fallen inside someone's cabinet go sit back down and i hear it again all the way at the one side of the building it's shaped like a square doughnut with elevators offices and utilities in the middle i stand up and look down the row of cubes like 40 going down one side of the building in a row and all their overheads all the way down to the purchasing department i hear it again and see one of the overhead cabinets that's mounted to the cube shift against the window it scared the duck out of me and i got chills then it did it again and then the one closer to me next to it then the one after going down the row at increasing speed like watching a line of dominoes except they stand back up and weigh 225 kilograms all of the overhead cabinets tipping forward enough to swing the doors open but nothing falls out hash bang bang bang bang bang and it rushed through me my cube wall tipping as well all the way to the other end of the building it felt like the ghost of a behemoth just rushed through my soul i reactionary started crying and the goosebumps on my arms were so raised they hurt it happened again to another night shift worker the next summer i worked as an overpass valet at a hotel that was converted from an abandoned late 1800s early 1900s steel factory to put it mildly the place was a monument to human suffering on sundays we were usually around 30 capacity so most of the rooms were completely empty most sundays i would walk down to the lot around 2am and various curtains would be open and closed and when i came back up several of them would have changed from where they were when i left i can think of multiple times where we had entire hallways completely empty but the curtains would still change while i was checking the cars guests would regularly complain that the people above them were stomping around and before we would call the room above them to ask them to quiet down we would check to make sure it was actually occupied because there was a 50 chance it wasn't most of the time we would actually receive less noise complaints on nights where we were at capacity i helped some guests move to another room after the noise woke them up more than once and when i went back to grab their last bag i heard it myself it sounded like a grown man running we sent someone to check the room it was empty we would also get a lot of calls from guests asking if someone had been into their room to clean despite the do not disturb sign on the door because their belongings would have been moved and of course the curtains would have been moved our employee room in the basement was the worst it had motion sensitive lights that would turn themselves on one night in particular i was making a cup of coffee to take back upstairs when the lights in the bathroom came on then the motion sensitive sink then the motion sensitive toilet then the lights turned back off didn't go back downstairs alone for a while the absolute creepiest part of the hotel was one of the first buildings constructed though they kept the original wooden floors and they creaked like crazy when you walked on them i stopped running errands to that building it wasn't part of my job but i did it sometimes for the tips after we received four calls from one of the rooms that were supposed to have been unoccupied when i went to unplug the phone so we would stop getting what we were writing off as a short in the phone i couldn't get into the room the door rejected my card the manager's card and the override card just as i was getting into the elevator i heard the electric lock open up i went back and the card let me in the phone wasn't even on the hook and after giving a quick look around the room was empty i quit after a few months don't regret it a new job at a kitchen in the next county over kind of a long drive i heard the crew discussing routes and one night i decide to take what i thought was the road they were all taking big mistake i ended up getting chased around by some mountain man in the middle of nowhere on a pitch black curvy ass road to the hills it was just another new guy following me because he thought i knew the shortcut i was working at an assisted living facility on the dementia unit the place was originally a mansion that had burned down when it burned down two children and their mother had perished now back to when i was working there when the elderly were towards the end the veil between our world in the spirit world is thinned my one resident came out of her room hysterical she said there were two young children that were looking for their mother me fully believed her and told her i would try to help them to try and console her i got her tucked in and calmed and trying to hide my uneasiness i go sit in the office and then another resident says this lady keeps calling for her children and it was annoyed so me extremely creeped goes to the office and calls my co-worker and her and i spent the rest of the night with her yes and i have no explanation for it it was around 11 p.m i had just finished feeding some kittens and was singing along to the radio to keep myself awake and doing a little dance to one of the dogs in a neighboring cabin who was wagging her tail at me i work in an animal home and was in the vet clinic at the time that often had both cats and dogs and theater cages in the same room when i heard a very very distinct growl it wasn't the little dog as it came from behind me and she was the only dog in the vicinity at the time plus i was looking at her when i heard it and there was no lip movement no teeth shown nothing body language wise at all but i know she heard it because her heckles went up i asked her if she growled and she waggled her tail harder and i bent down and put my hands up against the bars so she could nuzzle and she was then fine and relaxed i thought maybe our aircon unit had crapped out so i went to the corner and switched it off and went to switch it back on but leaned over to switch off the radio for the night when i heard it again this time louder very distinct coming from behind me again but from the opposite corner again not the little dog as she was in my full view the whole time at that point all the hairs on my neck stood up and i bolted out of there as quickly as i could i went into the next building and continued with my night until my shift colleague started but couldn't help thinking about that growl i know sound carries at night but there were no other dogs nearby at the time and our main building where our kennels are is soundproof so the neighbors don't complain i really didn't think anything of it until my shift colleague went out for a smoke around two hours later and said he felt like there was somebody watching him the whole time and got a really strong smell of wet dog when he was out there when i was younger we lived on a newly developed land where new houses were built the place i live is known for how many settlers came through so it's not out of the question to dig up unmarked graves once some of the rain and clay revealed some bones which we assumed could be some wild animal it was actually a baby's grave and we found some remains in our backyard a few weeks later my younger sibling was in his room and he came out screaming and crying saying that a shadow said something completely horrified i thought it was nonsense of course that's how it always starts i'm even religious but i discount many sightings as just imagination well my brother said he won't be left alone in the house in allenger what makes me believe him that it happened was one day i was in the bathroom brushing my teeth facing the mirror it was about afternoon i had a dental appointment i see out if the corner of my eye dark red tail slither off the counter into nothing it just vanished it was about my arms width i did not see it in the mirror but i definition saw it it scared the hell out of me i'm glad we moved as that was not the last event my younger bro needed a nurse to take care of him and they had a run in with whispering my walmart not quite night shift but with the store closing at 8 30 now i stay well past the last customer's departure and many other associates kind of disappearing and do their own thing leaving the floor deserted anyways in the seasonal section right now there are tons of plastic plates cups etc sitting around in way down the aisle in a whole other department technically when i see an entire display full one by one there were probably 100 plates and even more cups and bowls scattered on the floor and more slowly teetering off the shelf and onto the rest i've been told by other associates that they'd seen similar things in the past but it really freaked me out there was no one there and no one would be able to push off individual things without me seeing them that was about three weeks ago technically i wasn't working but ill still tell the story my dad was a park ranger at a lighthouse the grounds had a lighthouse and two houses both former keepers quarters one was used as a museum and the other were the offices one night two scientists came to the lighthouse and conducted some research my dad had to lock up after them and decided to bring me and my brother because there wasn't much going on the two researchers left and my father my brother and i stood in the offices this building had been used as a makeshift civil war hospital we had left this old heavy door open because we were going to leave soon this door was hard to open and close we were about to leave when the door just slammed out of nowhere i should mention this was a cloudless night and not windy at all my family ran out of there like it was on fire also i never personally heard them but i know my dad's coworkers heard footsteps in both of the old houses i work at a live in treatment facility for struggling folks and their kiddus vague for privacy hipaa reasons we do regular safety sweeps at set times throughout the night so clients know that at certain times well enter their rooms to make sure everyone is following safety procedures one night i'm taking care of a teething baby so mom can sleep baby is screaming won't stop for anything i'm standing in the corner of the absurdly overheated room praying to god the kid stops or i go deaf suddenly the corner gets ice cold like immediate goosebumps and shivers kind of cold the baby stops crying and is out in a few seconds but the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end and it feel like there's something behind me i'm shaken but baby is asleep so yeah the next morning some of the families were talking about the old woman who did their safety checks last night and how she stayed way too long just staring but there were only two of us working and were both in our mid-20s legend has it the wife of the man who founded the organization died in that building over a century ago but she still comes by to make sure all the kids in her care are safe i work at a jail on the east coast i work 6 p.m to 6 a.m usually we don't have much going on paranormal terms i've had supervisors tell me in the past about who died in cells that i walk past every night and suicides by hanging but never really felt anything myself but one night i was working down in our maximum area and something felt off it was 2 a.m it was a bit cooler than usual down in the area too around for my fellow officers and i got a phone call from the shift captain said he saw something odd on the camera in the section i went down to his office to take a look you see a small ball of light come out of a cell and just float around the day room area where the inmates are allowed out it floated around the table for 20 seconds then went back to the door then it came out again for another 10 and went back it wasn't a bug because it materialized out of the door it was only caught on the camera too we watched some sections all night and never saw it with our eyes i was babysitting once and her and i were in the living room watching any we were munching on popcorn enjoying the sleepover her two older brothers were out for the night so we head to the kitchen to top up the refreshments and on passing by a kind of game's room the den we notice one of her brothers stretched out on the sofa legs crossed watching a movie i could see his glasses socks full outfit we called to him many times nothing jokingly threw a soft toy at him and nothing both of us went pale and had that tummy drop feeling he was just a frozen image no natural breathing movements just like a projection we ran into the living room turned off annie and got into each of our blankets to sleep the two brothers returned home hours later and it still freaks me out i have severe social anxiety and depression recently lost my job due to restrictions to working effectively with my peers as i could do so previously a year or so passed and my partner of six years left me because of my condition in 24 only and moved my whole life across the country to be with her but basically i'm at rock bottom idea of somehow restarting my life and trying to cure my condition while having no motivation to do anything anymore is hard i had always wanted a dog but was never allowed one as a kid due to parents my ex had a dog and while i lived with her for past five years or so i had treated her shih tzu as if it were my own first dog i loved her daily and gave her the best i could as she was getting old she had passed several days before my ex breaking up with me she lived a long life for a dog as she passed at 16 i had started getting an odd sensation that someone was with me while i'm up at 4 00 am drinking till i blacked out i remember packing my things one day and thinking if life is even worth it anymore what do i have left to live for in that exact split second that i questioned it the lights in the room i was in turned off and i felt it showed air rush through my lungs i was confused and waited a few seconds to see if i td turn on nothing happened and the switch was still on on about 10 seconds passed and i randomly started thinking pentelope dog's name it'll be okay you don't have to watch over me please move on to the afterlife it'll be fine i love you just as the split second my brain finished the words in my mind the lights turned on again i had never believed in paranormal activities but i cannot tell you how quickly the timing was of the lights both activating and deactivating to my thoughts i do believe it was not a coincidence and would like to believe my little fur ball was worried about my state i haven't been able to cry in years due to my anxiety i cold and shed a tear when my grandad passed or when my relow ended in this moment i cried i no longer had doubts if life wasn't worth living as i want to carry on for her sake who in my mind lingered around to watch over me as i was deteriorating i truly love penelope and i'm sure there's a dog paradise waiting for her as she deserves with all the delicious food shed beg for all day colon right square bracket not a night shift worker but one night in a small town that's kind of known for some paranormal stuff my dad was driving behind another truck on a back road and we both saw something humanoid but like five feet tall skinny but out of proportion arms and legs compared to a person right behind the truck we were following and it was in a full-on sprint across the road faster than a person could run so i work in an old car battery manufacturing factory from the 70s and there's this rumor that someone way before my time used to jolt himself with the old rectifiers to wake up and he apparently died in the plant that way well anyways night i was in the plant alone babysitting batteries to make sure they are charging correctly and i look into the racks where we store batteries where these rectifiers used to be and one by one the motion detection lights come on coming my way and the lights stopped just 10 feet short of where i was standing with no explanation to why they had turned on i have worked here for years and i know that these lights don't just randomly turn on something like a raccoon or mouse would not be big enough to set these old lights off because sometimes even a forklift won't do it needless to say i lost my nerve and have never volunteered to work nights alone worked in an old folks home lots of paranormal activity mostly benevolent one night i'm in my office and i suddenly feel a slight chill and start getting the feeling that i should walk around i'm on the second floor and as soon as i leave my office the elevator dings and the door opens i get in and press the button for the first floor i get out on the first floor and walk down the hallway and then i hear someone calling for help from one of the rooms i go in and the patient is on the floor and couldn't get back up she wasn't hurt or in any real danger but something definitely wanted me to help her back into bed i later found out from the patient that her sister lived with her there and she had passed two years before i work at a grocery store and there is one part of the store i refuse to go in past 11 without somebody right as we are closing when there's nobody in the store i see a woman behind the bars at the pharmacy which only the head pharmacist has keys to it's creepy that whole area has creepy vibes edit talking to two of my managers they've also seen the same woman so maybe i'm not crazy i know the most logical explanation is that some crack heads are so skinny they can just squeeze into some really tight spaces or hiding spots but when a skeletal half-naked hobo seems to materialize right out the darkness into the middle of a spot of light from the street lamp cackle and ramble about impending doom then ducking vanish into a knee-high bush i'm inclined to assume the parking lot is haunted by its very own gremlin okay so about a year ago i spent the whole night studying i used to do that a lot study trough the night do the test in the morning and only sleep when i got back from the test during the day basically a bat my laptop is nine years old i can't afford another one and it's battery doesn't work so it only turns on if it's directly plugged in the electricity i saw it was almost 3 am and stopped for a break my laptop was on the desk and i rested in bed and it suddenly turned off and i was like okay just the old guy being old but then i ducking and plugged it and it turned on again and i was like wtf and it was a screen i've never seen before like a drizzle i can't really describe it so i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen was black and it started typing out of king nowhere i just ducking closed it again really hard took off the battery and got away from it i was petrified and then i felt watched so i ran to back my bed where i could see 100 of the bedroom and just stayed there paralyzed cold and sleep cold and study i couldn't sleep during the night for a week so started taking meds to sleep as the exams at the university had ended but then i started waking up at 3am always at 3 a.m exactly for a whole month i've always been skeptical but it only stopped after i talked about it with my mom and a woman hosa spiritist from the spiritism religion came into my room said some weird things and said she was gone put me in her prayers after that i could sleep again and stopped waking up at night i wasn't night shift but i worked in a presidential library for a little while lots of reports of the sound of leather sold she's walking the hallways at night when no one else was around feeling a presence of a person nearby but no one is there things dropping off shelves slash displays for no reason i used to work at a hotel we were dead and i think only two customers were in it was toward the holidays i stayed in the front did homework until about five am there was a loud clang in the kitchen i ran back to see if maybe a customer wandered in the back entrance there was no one the parts were all over the floor the time it took me to get in there and the way i went in no one could have gotten past me the side door gives me a full view of both doors it was insane the pots were all hanging up by the hook i still don't know how they ended up on the floor so i will share an incident shared by my aunt she's a matron and one night while she went inside the mortuary she met with lots of punches but the source of the punches was invisible we all could see the bruises on her face thanks for watching don't leave before
