I was a caregiver in a retirement home for 6 months at the beginning of the pandemic. We had one patient, let’s call them Robert, that was mute so when they called us because they needed something, of course we would just hang up and go to their rooms. I had been on vacation for a week and my coworkers and I didn’t had the chance to go over what had happened while was away. We had 24 patients for 2 caregiver so we would split the unit in half, 12 residents for each caregiver and we would help the other if needed. So, the first shift after my vacation, I was taking care of Robert’s unit. Few minutes after I arrived, I got a call from Robert’s room. So, hang up, finish with my current patient and calmy walk to the room. When I arrived, the door was locked which was really unusual since Robert usually leaves the door open. I knock, unlock the door and open it. To my surprise, the room was pitch black except the television that was turned on. It took me a few minutes to realize that Robert’s wasn’t in the room. So, I called my coworker and asked “Have you seen Robert’s?” And that’s when they told me ” Oh… Yeah… Hum… He passed away 2 days ago “. Alright, weird but not the first time that our system glitches like that and we get a phone call an empty room. go on with my shift, like nothing happened. I had left the door open. When I was helping another patient walk to the kitchen, when we passed Robert’s room, they said ” Hi Robert, thought you were at the hospital. Welcome back “. I was 100% convinced that the room was hunted now. We would get a call from that room a few times a week until Robert’s was buried and after that, nothing else happened in that room. We’ve also had another patient calling us because there was Mike sitting in his chair every night. Mike was the name of the patient that passed away in that room. They had never met.

Marine stationed in Japan back in 2010-12.

I was military police. One night around 2-3 am we hear over the radio “uhhhh. Any units seeing the light over the water south?” It was a marine air station based on the southern tip of Japan. We had no flights coming in or going out that night. Everyone knew there shouldn’t be a light flying over the waters.

So about 3 patrol cars met up at the air field where there was a way better view. Sure as shit there’s a light sitting out over the water blinking slowly off and on. Some guys tried to say it was a star, so we had traffic control cameras from dispatch zoom in on it. Turns out it was slowly moving out of the cameras. So while by ehe we couldn’t tell it was moving, the cameras picked it up. We sat there kind of amazed for an hour before it went away.

As we were getting back into the squad car took a last look at the night sky and saw a small light dart behind some clouds in a movement that didn’t make sense. I didn’t tel the other guys, just thought there’s no way they would believe me.

Months later I was running on the sea wall and stopped to lay down and catch my breath. Again saw a light, watched it drive into some clouds and then disappear. That was around the time of the tsunami and Fukushima. Super weird.

Two secondhand stories from my friend who used to be a security guard in the federal building in Portland OR:

One night she saw what looked like someone in a dark hoodie standing by an office door at the far end of a long hallway. When she called out the person turned to face her, but she couldn’t see a face in the hood. Then it “zoomed” at her, covering the full length of the corridor in about a second, sort of swooshed past her and disappeared. She was standing at the end of the hall with a non-openable window behind her in the building without even locking up, drove home and called in from his bed. He refused to talk about it.

Among their employees this building had a reputation for weird noises and sightings.

I got called to persistent fire alarms being set off in a block of flats that used to be a poor house in the 1800’s. The alarms would go off 3-4 times a night at certain times of the year. We arrive and residents are all outside saying they could hear a woman crying, no one wanted to go in as they assumed it was her that was setting the alarms off and she might be crazy. We went up, yup sure enough could hear a woman crying, sounded like the stairwell.. up We went and walked, crying get louder, turn the landing and realised the sound was then below us. It was coming from the top step of the previous flight of stairs. Well I nearly shat myself… what made it worse was guess who has just bought a flat on the ground floor and was moving in the following week.. yup me. I used to bail through the front doors, past the staircase and into my flat like I was being chased by wolves.

My sister has been a nurse for about 8 years in Southern and now Northern California. Worked in hospitals (med surge, tele, icu), dialysis centers, and now a hospice nurse. She has a few stories from the hospital, things like children laughing, shadows, patients claiming they saw another dead patient when they had never met. One of the creepiest that she and the other nurses told me was about a patient complaining and scared that something was under their bed. He was older and confused so they didn’t think much of it. Checked on him, responded to the multiple calls, and just tried to make him feel better. The next day, a new patient went into that room, another older person but not confused, and called to complain about something under his bed. They sort of brushed it off again after checking. The next night, a new patient in his 20s and completely coherent called crying that something kept running under his bed. They checked and found nothing but the patient was in such distress and shaking, they moved him. Happened quite a few other times as well.

They never found anything but that was so creepy to me.

Not sure if this is paranormal or not, but we live together now and she works as a hospice nurse. Every so often, she would scream or id hear her struggle or make weird noises in the middle of the night. I’d go to check and she’d tell me it was sleep paralysis. And explain what happened, that she saw a specific patient in her episode standing over her and growling, crying, or screaming. Always a very scary dream. The next day, that patient would die. Happened about 13 times so far. Trips me out!

My coworker used to be a security guard for the Forensic Mental Health unit nearby, it used to be a mental asylum and was renowned for treating its patients horribly, there’s a grave yard nearby with over 200 unmarked graves for bodies they exhumed on the old asylum grounds. A lot of people would try to sneak into the old abounded buildings and my coworker and his partner would get deployed to tell them to piss off or to check it out to make sure no one was there and he said very regularly he would feel spirits, see unexplained movement and hear screaming, especially in the ‘treatment’ and intake rooms. Im not very spiritual but I totally believe him, that place has a lot of sad history behind it.

Graveyard shift security at a hotel/casino. We got called to the top floor of the hotel because people from the floor below were calling in noise complaints. I was the FNG so I had a trainer with me when we went up. Dispatch told us over the radio that there was nobody registered on that floor, so cool, just a few idiots being idiots. We got up there and every single door on the entire floor was wide open. Anyone who has been to these hotels knows that you can’t just accidentally leave the doors open because they close by themselves. They weren’t propped open or anything, just open. We asked Dispatch if engineering was doing any work up here or had anything going on during the day. After a few minutes they told us they called engineering and they said no. We just noped out at that point and said there was nobody up there.

Once worked in a call center very late at night. Around 8pm you’d hear all the doors in the main corridor slamming shut, but the doors didn’t open or close at all.

Later we tried to frighten one of the workers by telling them the place was haunted, and found out about a month later that the entire building was on top of a medieval plague pit, where they just build over it and left the corpses buried.

I work security at night in a luxury condo, I actually started a little over a month ago and I already had a fair share of incidents.

Alarms triggered for no apparent reason, finding unusual doors unlocked, random orbs on the cameras, doors slamming while nobody’s around, elevator phone started by itself.
