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

night shifters ever witnessed a paranormal activity if so what was it i used to intern in a recording studio in new york city years ago where it was technically open 24 over 7 meaning there was always someone there whether clients were in or not anyway it was on an upper floor of a building and due to the amount of expensive equipment inside you could not access that floor by elevator without someone letting you up the button for that floor was locked out so you couldn't press it from inside the elevator there was a camera at the front entrance downstairs another at the elevator in france and one inside the elevator all of which could be viewed from the front desk of the studio so when people arrived you would buzz them in wait until you saw them enter the elevator and then you would have to push the button for the studio floor to bring the elevator up well anyway one of the nights i was working the overpass shift and it was just me and another dude doing cleaning maintenance etc when we hear the elevator start running at probably like 3 30 in the morning the whole building is all offices so really there is nobody in the building past 5 to 6 pm besides us so we thought it was a bit strange the other guy looks at the cameras and there's nothing at all no one in the elevator either so although it's weird we just figure someone must still be in the building and called it from a different floor it made sense until all of a sudden we see it stop at our floor and we hear the dooring we are both in the lobby about 15 feet away from the elevator and we give each other the hardest wtf stair ever i can't explain how much i didn't want those doors to open we stare like a deer in headlights completely motionless at the doors as they open nobody is there no one pushed the button nothing we both keep staring completely still and silent and it becomes really dark and creepy as time goes on and the doors don't shut as if something is standing in doorway blocking the sensor the doors usually close after five seconds or so but we stared at it for a good 22-30 seconds or so before they closed and the elevator returned back to the lobby we stared for a bit longer before simultaneously looking at each other and saying what the duck dude the next day we asked a couple of the other guys about it and one of the guys said the same thing happened to him in the middle of the night when he was by himself he said he almost [ __ ] himself maybe there's a logical explanation for it elevator malfunction etc but it was really damn freaky since the place was generally kinda creepy at night and there had been some other weird things [Music] i worked at a seven over eleven one night i kept hearing what sounded like a little girl crying but the store was completely empty whenever it go the area where i thought it was coming from i'd hear it from somewhere else i hope somebody was messing with me but i'm not sure i don't have a story but here is the one my wife likes to tell she is a nurse and for a couple of years she was working night shift in the palliative care unit which is a comfort care slash end of life unit patients in that unit are expected to die or to be sent home or to a care home to die anyways those rooms also had a radio and according to her it happened a few times that a radio suddenly turned on and within an hour or so a patient would pass on one rather busy night the radio turned on and my wife went into the room stared into the darkness and said cut that out i don't have time for this [ __ ] and the radio suddenly snapped off no patient died during the rest of her shift but one passed away shortly after she clocked out i don't inherently believe in ghosts but if i had a paranormal story it will be this one i work in one of the majors in my city as rhca one of my many tasks is post mortem care on patients who die in our care one night at around zero two zero zero i was called to the room of a rolled a patient who was palliative had passed and the family had finished their goodbyes so i went in to start providing care this usually means removing any tubes wires and monitors from the patient giving them a bed bath removing any valuables from the body to give to the family putting them in a gown and shroud i like to talk to my patients even if they have pastors it puts me at ease and shows respect to them i explain my actions and talk them through what i'm doing because even though they have passed they are still my patient while i was proceeding with the bed bath of the patient out of nowhere i felt like i was being watched and then i felt a hand on my shoulder and a man's voice tell me thank you the hand remained for a moment while i stood there frozen then all the feelings stopped and the room felt empty there were no other nurses or staff in the area at the time just me i like to believe that the patient i was providing care for was thankful for my explanations and me continuing to talk to them through their care edit thanks for the awards and the gold never expected my comment to get this far a lab building where i once worked was the site of murder suicide which happened while i was there awful and sad we didn't have shifts per se but i had to work late one night autoclaving equipment for the next day's experiment the autoclave room is right next to the lab where the event took place i hadn't seen anyone else in the building after i started the load i was about to leave the room when i heard a crash outside i immediately opened the door and saw that all the contents of a table in the hallway had been pushed to the floor water bottles a packet of papers pence etc since i was right by the door at the time i would have seen and or heard someone running away it was against protocol to leave things in the autoclave overnight so i had to stay an hour and a half to get them out but nothing else happened i left the stuff on the floor though i used to work at a 24-hour subway i know great start to a paranormal experience story huh well one day i was doing the dishes and my coworker was cleaning the toaster oven and bread oven out of nowhere around 3 30 a.m i heard our door chime go off out of habit i say welcome to subway as i turn the corner nobody there cow gone i thought okay maybe he hopped the counter and went for a cigarette outside as he did from time to time heading back to the sink to finish the dishes i hear the door chime again nobody check the bathrooms nobody what the hell i ignore the dishes and stand at the front counter eyeing the doors couple minutes later my coworker comes through the back door where we get our deliveries would you go i asked him turning towards the back door area to take out the trash he replies door chime he does the same thing as me welcome to subway turns corner to see nobody there but this time the door was wide open our doors are weighted to where they'll close on their own if you let go of them door stayed open for a couple minutes as we stared then suddenly slammed not a windy night and our doors wouldn't even stay open like that on the windiest of days have no idea what caused this or why it happened on that particular night but after i got a different job i was told it never happened again told my boss about the incident and we all looked at the cameras nobody could explain it edit typo night watch in the barracks at fort gordon that's a night shift right anyway so many things happened in three different rooms that i could write a book it completely changed my belief in paranormal activity this one took place in the middle of the night so this is the one i'll tell i'm sitting by the stairwell on the second floor and hear someone shouting in a room down a hallway i'm on duty so i run to the room and swing open the door expecting to see some fighting there are several people in this room pointing up to the ceiling next to a wall and telling me they are doing it again i ask them to explain and they tell me that ever since they moved into that room someone lifts up the ceiling tiles and makes funny faces at them at night the latrine is on the other side of the wall so i go over to see if anyone is there and there isn't so i climb onto a desk in the room to lift up the ceiling tiles to see if they are still up there when i lift up the ceiling tiles all i see is a cinder block wall that goes all the way to the floor above there's only about an inch between the back of the ceiling tile and the wall nowhere face was there two of the soldiers freaked out and ran out of the room and slept in the hallway this was only the first of many incidents worked at a movie theater running the booths upstairs the projectors are upstairs obviously in a long corridor at night after the last showing in each theater you shut off the lights too that theater and the small one over the projector itself then you cover the platters to protect from dust it's not so bad the first few because at least the lights of nearby projectors are still on for the theaters that are still running but as you should each one off one by one the corridor gets darker and darker in that little viewing window into each individual theater is pitch black that dull steady whirring noise you've toned out all night is gone and is now replaced by absolute silence and there's hardly any light left anymore just the lights at the end of each corridor where you sit in between each start time it's spooky enough is what i'm saying but one particular night i'm throwing the covers over one of the platters and i casually glance up into the viewing theater window across the way and there's a face it's a little boy's face and it's sheet white i know what i saw i'm sure there's an explanation for it and there's nothing supernatural about it but there was a face there and it scared the absolute [ __ ] out of me it made an already unsettling environment that much more terrifying the rest of the time i worked there also for the record inside the actual theater these windows are a solid 8 to 10 feet above the seat backs in the highest row so if someone was playing a prank feed need a ladder and even then they'd have nowhere to set it not me but a friend used to work as a night custodian for an elementary school which the building itself was rather rolled built in the 40s maybe he was the third shift guy so he took over from the second shift guy at like 9 p.m he was basically there to mop the floors and make sure no one broke in if he got all of his stuff done he was pretty much free to do whatever he wanted often after he finished doing his work he'd go hang out in an office because there was a small tv to watch he said things started off innocently enough lights turning on in classrooms where he knew they had been off previously cabinets and doors opening and closing on their own he didn't pay much attention to it at first he was sort of on the fence as to where he believed in paranormal activities so he just shrugged it off as coincidences at first he would go and check the noises out sometimes he'd creep around and try to catch someone in the act in case there was a way in that he didn't know about after a month or so he gave up looking and just learned to ignore it he'd ask his boss about it and just get blown off over the coming months things progressively got worse doors no longer closed on their own they slammed shut he heard noises like children playing sometimes screaming he'd find trash cans turned upside down he'd have things thrown at him but he would be clearly alone with nowhere for someone to hide and throw things at him he'd contemplated quitting but he was making good money for being nearly fresh out of high school and he needed the money for family stuff so he stuck with it he'd come in rush through his duties for the night as quickly as he could and then go and sit in the office where he turned the tv to where he could sit facing the door and that's where he'd sit until the morning crew came in at 6am he didn't want to admit that he was scared shitless of being in that school by himself at night so he tried to tough it out and made a lot of excuses to try and explain what was going on the last straw for him was the night he was sitting in the office watching tv and felt someone grab the chair from behind and flip him over backward there was clearly no one in the room and no way for anyone to get into the room without him seeing them he picked up the office phone and called his boss at home in the middle of the night said he quit and he'd come back in the morning to turn his keys in he was definitely a believer in the paranormal after that experience he said that it wasn't until years later that he found out from someone who'd researched the history of the school before it was torn down that there used to be a pool inside the school a number of kids had drowned in over the early years of the school until the administration decided to finally expand the building so they filled the pool in with concrete and expand over top of it i work the front gate at a military installation the night shift is super dull and quiet where i'm at for a while i noticed this dark green old ford bronco that would roll up when i would stand out the gate shack the car would do a 180 and leave this happened about two to three times until i finally caught the license plate before it turned i ran the numbers to my supervisor he asked me if i was sure i said i'm 100 certain he tells me it couldn't be because the numbers led to a vehicle crash report that involved the exact same vehicle and plate number to which the driver had died and the vehicle and the vehicle was totaled that [ __ ] made me want to switch to days used to work at ihop a cook before my time got shot and died during robbery i would always hear someone in the kitchen such as the spatulas clanking but nobody would be in the kitchen once i saw black figure in the back figured it was the cook when i went outside to the front of the restaurant the cook was sitting outside smoking there was no current orders either other coworkers experienced some stories one of them said she felt pushed but i can't speak on what i didn't see i worked in a mine in northern ontario there was a death on the 4200 level a couple years previous to the incident it was a normal day underground like any other we were having a road working that had collapsed 4200 level was big the drifts were 66 feet but go on four kilometers in every direction it was about midnight when we saw the mine rescue team with security rushing down the drift naturally we dropped what we were doing and followed to see if we could help we arrived to a guy who was as pale as a ghost he didn't look hurt but he was shaking uncontrollably mind rescue approached him and he wouldn't have it he would scream and not just any scream it was terrifying hearing the screams like a person so consumed with fear it had a tone to it that you wouldn't imagine could come from a person eventually he just stopped screaming and just sat there awake but non-responsive by now it was 3 30 a.m and our shift was over we couldn't leave him down there we managed to get him on a stretcher that we could carry out on our way out he kept saying the devil is on 42 over and over again about two years later another incident report was read to us the exact same thing exactly the same spot but a different person i don't believe they saw the devil but it is always in the back of my mind when i'm on 42 i was on cq charge of quarters while stationed in germany at about 2 am a dax and came in the building summer so doors were open i followed him down the hall to get him out and he just vanished when i was about six feet away it was unbelievably real ten tenths would hallucinate again not night shift just a regular dude and i don't really believe in the paranormal but i had this one thing happen that i have zero explanation for i've also told this story on reddit before i was a teenager studying for major secondary school exams so one weekend my parents brother and grandparents went to a function and i was home alone for reference because of the country i live in a house has steel grills in front of every door and window like a prison my room is at the front of the house it's something like 9 30 or 10 p.m i head to the kitchen which is at the opposite end of the house it also houses the stairs to the second floor which is where my parents and brother's rooms are as i'm getting something from the fridge i hear my mom yell my name so i say coming and start up the steps two steps up i remember that that makes no ducking sense because i'm home alone i call out to whatever and i hear my name again duck that's so hard i don't generally run but i sprinted back to my room and locked the door after a couple minutes when i think i've lost my mind and was hearing things i decided to head back to the kitchen as i get to my door and unlock it as if on cue i hear footsteps in the passageway again duck that re-lock the door grab something of my desk to defend myself and hide under my bed footsteps stop at my door waited for damn near half an hour under the bed until my parents called to say they were almost home went to open up the place so they could get in and nothing was unlocked or broken so it sure as hell wasn't a person it's roughly 12 or so years later and i still have no clue what went on that night i was working at a gas station at like 3 a.m one night a car pulled into the pump guy got out and started pumping and then the car and you just vanished i was looking right at it and it just popped out of existence i told my boss the next day and she turned white as a sheet she'd seen the same thing same exact description same car same pump same guy i worked night shift at a hotel i also had a day job and the manager was cool and said i could sleep as long as i woke up if someone needed something one night i woke up and saw a guy well more of a silhouette of a guy staring at me through the windows of the dutch door to the courtyard he was really tall six five feet and had a black duster trench coat and hat i jumped up from the couch put down the remote i had fallen asleep with in my hand and rushed to the door to see what he needed he was gone and no sign of him anywhere in the courtyard and there were only two long straight paths he couldn't even have ran that fast i forget about it and continue my night fast forward about three weeks and my coworker is telling me about an evil spirit that lives in one of the rooms all the employees knew there were at least four haunted rooms there as well as the elevator no seriously he started describing a tall shadowy guy i cut him off and say like six or seven feet black coat and hat he turns white and stares at me you've seen it too i tell him what happened and that innocent incident that night all of a sudden got super creepy another time at another job i was getting ready to do security rounds roughly around 3 15 am i'm whistling the arthur movie theme song it had just played on the radio it was dead quiet except just crickets as i opened the door to the patrol car still whistling i hear a whistle off in the bushes the bush is on a 60-foot cliff it's the same tune in the same type of whistle i have i don't whistle normal it's like a windier not sharp kind of whistle and much quieter same exact song same exact type of whistle i immediately stop the whistling keeps going i get into the car and book it take about 20 minutes longer than i normally do to get back and i'm super careful slash nervous paranoid when i get back never saw anyone or anything never heard it again but on that note sometimes if i fell asleep at that job i'd wake up to the sound of my old boss shouting my name he used to come in about the same time that i would hear the sound and wake up that happened pretty regularly the weird thing is that he had been dead for three years when it started thanks for watching don't leave before leaving a like to this video
