- As one might expect, most paranormal or supernatural encounters occur in the hours of darkness. What is it about the night that seems to manifest these occurrences? Is it our own feelings of vulnerability and isolation? Or is it something more profound? This week, we hear accounts from those who work through the night on the dreaded nightshift.

Apologies for the error in this. Of course we know the island is O'ahu. I think this mistake came about in the editing process. It originally read "County of Honolulu" and I wanted it to be more specific to the actual island. When I edited the text I failed to change "Honolulu" to "O'ahu" and didn't pick up on it in recording, either 🙄 - Rich
Fear not, we forgive you 😀
@@leepitman2193 yeah, we’ll let it slide this one time. ;)
Halloween is coming up are u going to make a video on Halloween or a strange event that happened on Halloween can't wait to see it
doo doo occurs...you're fine, man..
Not a big deal. But, thanks for the explanation.
I had a night shift security guard job in college. Completely alone, I heard noises coming from the darkest part of the warehouse. As I scanned with my flashlight, I saw six sets of glowing eyes in the corner. That was the most terrifying 2 seconds of my life, until I realized it was just a family of raccoons.
Bruh
Rabies is more terrifying cuz the shots u get afterwards are 🤢
@@Silly_Illidan nah, you just die
Darn ya nature you scary! LOL!
@@Silly_IllidanYour poor grammar is terrifying.
I love the graveyard shifts, peace, quiet and solitude.
Agreed, though your mind can play tricks on u if you not use to it
Not good for your health though.
Raises your blood pressure, i guess because of poor sleep or changing natural circadian rhythm. It leads to earlier onset of heart disease, you're more likely to develope mental or mood disorders when you work night shift. You're more likely to be depressed. You're less likely to eat a healthy diet. There's a lot of negatives to it.
And weed
Me too
I’m liking graves so far. I need to keep vigilant about my old habits though. Like eating and such.
I used to work overnights and had a 20 mile commute between home and work, traveling along a pretty well used highway that goes through the farmland of Southern Wisconsin connecting all the towns in the area. Most of this road is wide open flat-ish farmland. There is one section however that cuts through a small woodland and bridges over a tiny creek. Typically, this highway is pretty well traveled no matter what time you are on it, however one night on my way to work, it was empty. It was actually kind of nice not having headlights in my face the whole trip. As I approached the section of road that cuts through the woodland, I reached down to skip the track on the CD I was listenning to. When I looked up I saw what looked like a woman standing on the side of the road at the edge of my headlights, wearing a light green dress. Suddenly, the figure dashed out into the road directly in front of my car traveling at 60 MPH! It was far too late for me to hit the brakes or swerve, but I tried the brakes anyway and braced myself for the impact, which never came. I watched as the figure seemed to turn into a mist and flow up the hood of the car. Still trying to stop the car the mist passed through the windshield, cabin, and rear window of the car, as I drove through the space the figure had occupied. The air in the car was now practically ice cold, perhaps that was my nerves though. Finally I was able to get the car to stop on the side of the road. I got out and turned around expecting to find a very badly injured woman lying on the road. The woman was nowhere to be found. I inspected the front of the car for damage, not even a scratch. As I was inspecting the front of the car, I became aware that I couldn't hear the wind. The tall grass on the side of the road was swaying as if in a pretty significant breeze and I could feel that very same breeze tug gently at my clothes and hair, but I couldn't hear the breeze, just perfect silence. As I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on, I realized that I could hear something. Whispering. Not wind. Whispering. The whispering seemed to be moving around me and over me and even under me. There is a difference between a steady wind, and whispering. I couldn't tell what the whispering was trying to say, but with everything that had just happened, I was too spooked to wait around and try to figure it out. I ran around to the door of the car, got in, dropped it in drive and floored it! I took an alternate route home that morning, and continued to use the alternate route for about two weeks after that. Eventually I had gained the courage back to return to the original route, and I never experienced anything like that again.
Interesting story
Where at? I live in Eau Claire, WI. We have a couple of spooky places around us, wondering if it might be anywhere near me.
I love this - but I am sorry it frightened you. Maybe she just wanted you to know she’s still there... ?
Holy crap cakes! That was one freaky incident bro. Glad you're okay tho. And, the Lady In The Green Dress?
@@meeep9099 Perfect for late night campfires
My first real job out of high school I was working the fuel lane at a major trucking company at night. Right beside the fuel lane was the service lane where trucks would get oil changed, lubed, just checked out to make sure they were safe for the road. One night, I was just finishing up the city trucks and an over the road GMC cabover was sitting on the service lane. Nobody was working on it as the service guy was on another truck at the time. I'm filling out the paperwork for the truck I just fueled when the GMC starts up and backs out of the shop. I didn't think much of it until I looked and saw all 4 other mechanics looking toward it. The GMC continued to idle just outside the shop until one of the mechanics came over to it, climbed up in it and shut it down. I could see both side mirrors on the GMC so if either door had opened, I would have seen it, but neither did. Later, I was told a driver had crashed and died while driving that truck. Drivers also reported weird things when driving it like they would make the bed in the sleeper, go in to get their paperwork and come out to find the bed all messed up. Some refused to drive it. Only one driver didn't care. He said if a ghost is gonna ride, then it's gonna take its turn at the wheel. Nobody rides for free.
I've got a chevy truck with 1.7 million kms on original engine and tranny, front end all original as well.
It's a 1981 K10.
it's on my channel if you want to see it, no one can figure out how it's still running perfectly...
@@Inlinetodie Simple- it wasn't built on a Monday or a Friday.
The last Chevy truck I bought brand new, was a 1993 Silverado 4x4 extended cab.
I sold it to a friend after it had 200 thousand miles, and all he had replaced on it was the water pump and windshield wiper motor, and that all happened after he put 100 thousand on it. He's still driving it everyday.
Sergeant Peppers- Cabover GMCs huh?
You must have got out of school waaay back! I haven't seen one of those in over 30 years.
A Cab Over Jimmy in mainline service? This had to be many decades ago my friend. We had a driver suffer a fatal heart attack and run his truck into a ditch. Although the truck could've been economically repaired the the owner and maintenance director both decided to part it out. The empty cab still sits on the property.
My dad bought all of Eatons old GMC Cab Overs in Alberta, 5 tons, created Skyline Logistics, had the Skyline of Edmonton on the side, had 30 trucks going at once in Edmonton 70s and 80s
As if regular ghosts aren't scary enough, now there are Sasquatch ghosts too
Bruh, as soon as I would have seen that, I would've started singing that song, "Fuck this shit I'm out". Hell naw!
Ghost Wookie
I instantly thought Sasquatch Ghost too.
maybe its not a sasquatch ghost at all but a regular sasquatch in "cloak" mode.
Maybe he wants a beer?

I miss night shift. It's a different world that belong to much less people, and it has it's own rules and society
GNU Terry.
Night of the living nightshift creature's.
Will you survive a night of total terror a night of the living nightshift creature's.
The night has always been my natural time. I've experienced many hauntingly beautiful moments late at night that I can't ever put into words
I can't say I agree having worked it in hospitals as a Nurse in Med Surg, Critical care and ER always fely I was on the Ass end of the world. But to each their own
I really need to catch up on his Discworld novels... can anyone please help me on what to get, what not to get, and/or are there any possible stopping points in the series?
So those silly fictional depictions of night shifts aren't that far off, huh?
Currently watching on nightshift, to all my brothers in the security industry/law enforcement etc...I hope you have a safe shift.
Working nightshift as security/law enforcement is downright terrifying
@@pokeryea Day shift is way more terrifying. Too much brass walking around.
Ive been working swing shift for over 26 years at a 70+ year old mining facility in rural Virginia.
In those years I've saw tricks of light and shadow aplenty. Along with everything from very real human trespassers, and wandering contractor employees and goods delivery people, to wild animals passing through the property or around the facilities aged buildings.
The only time though that I actually saw something really unexplainable?
Was one night when I once turned around from measuring a product bin in the building I work in and saw what I can only describe as a humanoid shaped, black mass, or cloud, hovering a few feet away from where I stood.
But I saw it only for a moment as it suddenly moved away from me and quickly decended down a stairwell and out of sight on the floor below the one I was one.
In truth.
It happened too fast for me to be afraid.
Just surprised or startled.
Later I heard that others amongst my co-workers had saw something similar. It scaring one of them enough that they wouldn't stay in the building a full shift at night by themselves.
Though I myself, to date, have not saw it again. And don't really wish too.
I'm guessing you live in the southwest part of Virginia also? I've never seen anything other than some odd lights in the night sky.
Shadow people
I'd be really scared of a black mass. A black mass is not a shadow man. It would terrify me even more. I had seen a shadow man when I was little. A black mass? Never. Nor do I ever want to see it. There are things from the beyond we'll never understand in this life. A black mass is one of them. Really creepy man!
@@johanna5688 Trust me, you don't wanna see neither. I do see them ocassionally(Last one being a silent PITCH BLACK ghost biker shape passing by and vanishing in a dark street). And I remember seeing twice a little black mass floating by on the ground next to my feet, my first reaction is getting angered and cursing it while chasing it till it dissapears. Looks like its passive because it never did anything wrong, but I've been taught to confront them.
Maybe the black mass was running from you because it saw you as a black mass.
Doing night shift security walks in a giant hotel got me seeing some weird shit too
Lol
Like what?
@@mikebond6328 Once he entered room 237 when management specifically told him not to...

Yup, quick search finds it.
That's amazing. Glad they embrace it.
@@1000wastedwords Yeah. That is cool.
This one hits home to me. I was once a security guard in a large facility in the woods. I had to drive around checking buildings and essential equipment to make sure they were running normally and make sure all the buildings were locked tight. The whole place was covered in a horrible past in which many people lost their lives due to accidents. There was one building in particular that was very haunted that I had to actually enter to take readings. Guards warned me about it. They all feared it. I wish they didn't tell me. Whenever I went in there my hairs stood up and I felt like I was being followed around. One night I got the fright of my life when I was just about to exit that building and I heard a sorrowful moan behind me. There was nobody on that site except for me at night. Employees weren't there. Around the area of that same building there was lots of trees. Whenever I was driving away from that building I always saw dark shadow silhouettes peaking from behind the trees with glowing orange eyes. Needless to say, I have PTSD now.
dude.
Scary as fuck, want to do night shift together bro?
I used to have a job where I would spend my nights driving around (sometimes covering as much as 150-200 miles a shift) to check on various properties, do patrols, and even kick off anyone who was trespassing. If necessary, I'd respond to burglary alarms as well.
One property was WAAAAAAY out of my usual route (like a full hour round trip drive), but I was only required to go there during special situations like holidays where they weren't doing their normal hours. This meant that I'd be on the property just by myself while doing the patrol, which required me double-check all exterior doors on the building to make sure they were locked and also drive through the multiple acres of property where they would park equipment. They'd had issues with meth heads breaking into the place and stripping out the wiring from stuff to go sell it for money.
My first time there the guy who was in charge of the on-site security team asked me "Do you believe in ghosts? Because I think this place is haunted." Not exactly the best way to be introduced to a place. The site supervisor talked about how several employees had died over the years from accidents with equipment and machinery. He talked about seeing weird shadows and hearing weird noises. The one that really stood out to me was him talking about hearing the horn from a forklift go off.
I had multiple scares while patrolling that property, none of which were paranormal. Sometimes machinery would have been left on overnight, and since I was unfamiliar with it the sounds would spook me. While out patrolling the places where they'd park the equipment, I had several times where I would come across deer either wandering through or eating the grass. Had one time where something was going on with the ventilation system where the actual ventilation shafts (which were hanging suspended from the roof like 2 or 3 stories up) were swinging around with an incredibly loud banging noise coming from outside, although I later on learned that was due to something malfunctioning in the AC system.
I never saw any weird shadows or heard any unexplained/weird noises. But I did hear those forklift horns go off on rare occasions. I knew what they sounded like, because my first night on the property by myself I actually tested one out. I still can't explain what would have made those things go off on their own when I was the only person on the property.
@@roetheboat1 Wow! I really hope they paid you well! I couldn’t imagine having to jump from site to site all the time.
jesus christ dude why tf did they only have one of you working there should be at least two for something like that? forgot all the paranormal stuff just if some people actually try and do something do they think one security guard is going to so anything alone? no offense not saying one security isnt good I'm just saying if something actually happens and theres multiple bad guys then what?
I used to work nightshits at a huge factory complex that had probably about a mile of floorspace with it's 4 production lines in a U form, at day time there was 3 times the workforce on location. At night, parts of the factory floor where closed mostly by the halfway of the 3 linked buildings and only emergency exit lights where on so it was always pitch black and you needed a flashlight with you.
Outside was also vast, with dozens of very large warehouses, storage fields, preparation areas of materials and a unloading depo for trucks and trailers and high security fences all around it.
One time when we got a power failure at our power plant (yes, we had our own) all machines halted but the backup generators could keep up the lights on we basicly got the order to just clean up hard to reach areas, except me. I was told to go round the fence by foot and check if their was any holes and mark them with high visibility tape (something similar what police use to limit areas).
For a security guard going around you needed a small car and he only managed to do two rounds a night in 8h's and i didn't get a car.
The shift boss gave me an old bicycle that had a basket that had tools in it. It was september and really dark and the bike had only a dynamo-light that lid up only when the wheel was turning and their was no lighting near then fence, a overgrown gravel service road had just tire tracks that was somewhat average to ride on with potholes here and there.
At a corner of the property i found my first hole that i needed to mark as i frapped and tied a meter long strip on the fence i heard an odd sound at a distance behind me. It sounded like someone was moaning in pain. So i started to approach where the sound was located at some 3 big industrial pipes that where laying on the ground and had been rusting there probably for a long time.
I lighted my flashlight inside the pipes that where probably 80cm in diameter and maybe 10m long waiting to find some homeless dude sheltering inside them....nothing, all where empty but the whailing sound was here still, moaning. So i made a slow turn shining my light at the surroundings that had knee high grass trying to locate something, anything and started to call out if anybody was there??? The moaning stopped in that moment and i had a really odd feeling that i wasn't alone that someone was watching me.
So i said out loud that the fence will be repaired and who ever was here should leave the area and if he is sick should go to hospital!!
No response, just quiet, no sound.
"ok, i'm leaving now" i said loud again and turned and started to walk towards the bike i felt like someone put their hand on my shoulder like "excuse me.." as i turned there was nothing behind me and i was like... whaaat, did a bat just brush me??? as i had been told that bats liked to vacate one of the older warehouses loft.
Naah, and started to walk again when the same firm grip felt again on my shoulder but now it felt cold... and i knew there was something behind me that radiated cool air as the night had been quite warm but i could feel cold behind me and i felt a chill going thru me.... and then i just sprinted to the bike not looking back cycling as fast as i could back towards a lighted area of the complex not looking back, just franticly peddling on.
When i got to the new warehouses that where open at night and the forkclift driver was bringing some recycled trash for storage he stopped and came to me and asked if i was ok? As i was white as a sheet and shakey i just mumbled that i felt a bit sick, maybe my snack was bad for my stomach or something and the guy was like, ok, don't give me your illness.. and you should probably lie down or drink something...what are you doing here anyway??? shouldn't you be cleaning with the others??? And i replied that the boss sent me to check the fences for holes.
So he looked at me for a while and then started talking about a teen who had snuk in thru a hole in the fence many times some 8 years before and used this as a shortcut.
One time he had accidently fell thru to old water filled underground basement of a burned down building and as he was drunk he could not get out of it and he drowned their....a few days later he was found as his parents had told police that he liked to sneak thru the factory complex by night.
The basement was later filled up and the fence repaired but kids and some adults still use the shortcut not wanting circle round the huge complex and as their really isn't any active work areas there it is easy to not get caught.
The factory was closed several years a go and the huge area is now being developed as an office and appartment complex with parks and sports centers.
"The factory was closed several years a go and the huge area is now being developed as an office and appartment complex with parks and sports centers." poor suckers working and living there.
I work in areas driven by ensuring our Military members make it home. On occasion, I am alone into the wee hours. Every time, I get a sense I am not alone. I have seen shadows. Once, I thought I saw a soldier in full battle dress. On these occasions, I am never in fear. The feeling I get is one of gratitude. As in my brothers and sisters DID make it home. I always quietly thank them and acknowledge their sacrifice.
Show your gratitude friend and say some prayers for those poor souls. A priest friend of mine has had some experience with supernatural occurences (including witnessing an exorcism) and has said that a lot of the time, if it is indeed something unexplainable, it's souls in purgatory that have been given a special grace by God to reach out to show they need your prayers.
Perhaps see if you can find out who that soldier was and have some masses said for him. That would be best. Otherwise,say a few rosaries for the repose of his soul - God will know who you're talking about and his soul will be eternally thankful!
haha late night shadows, I f*cking hate those.
I'm the dude who enjoys being alone in the midnight hours. The peace and quiet is very relaxing.
Have you ever had the alone at night Willie's? I have many times, almost as though reality itself is altered somehow
@@SamuelBlack84, Haha, yes, I get that every once in a while, but you just have to remember it is most of the time just your imagination, and me having my gun nearby helps me feel more safe and secure.
@@adamcuneo7189 I have no such defence. Guns make me nervous, especially when I had one pointed at my head. I've often been alone at night in the dark and I swear I can hear footsteps
@@SamuelBlack84 when you sense approaching fear or dread for no reason, that's called paranoia. it's nothing like the disorder, unless you allow it to control your life.
@@Nosferdamus I've often felt approaching fear and dread, usually because some evil bastard wants to hurt me
It's not called "The Graveyard Shift" for nothing. Personally, I generally like working nights, especially if I'm doing contract security. OTOH, I have had officers call me at home and quit; had officers outright abandon their posts; found officers hiding in closets; and once had an officer quit when I relieved her in the morning, because she "...couldn't handle the ghosts anymore". I have yet to work a night shift where something paranormal _did not_ happen. If you're not seeing or hearing something weird on a one-person night shift on a mostly-empty post, you're either extremely lucky, or you're not paying attention.
Some people are just oblivious. One of my sisters never noticed anything odd in an old house we lived in for years. I heard my name called when I was alone in the house. A friend of my other sister slept over fairly often, and made my sister promise never to leave her alone upstairs. The whole gamut of experiences in one place!
Where the hell do you work man?
@@undefinedvariable8085 Generally in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. I've worked contract security on and off since 1997 (until 2018, I worked tech support and customer service in-call phones, and security filled most of the gaps). I work mostly high-rises. My very first post, we had two ghosts in residence; I actually made it onto "Ghost To Ghost" with Art Bell once. My first post as a site supe, we had one ghost in the parking garage, another in the building, and one in the parking lot across the street. I worked for a couple of years in a high-end retirement community, that had a ghost who played the piano (that was the one where we found a trainee hiding in a closet, because it freaked him out so badly), among several others. The latest site I worked turned out to have been built on top of an old rural cemetery. "Adventures In Security" is a thing.....
@@TheMajorActual RIP Art Bell.
Do you write?
@@undefinedvariable8085 I write military science fiction as a hobby. I took a couple of shots at writing-writing and doing a podcast, but could never find the groove. The blog is gone, at least temporarily, but if you want to check out the podcast, it's on Spotify, iTunes and Anchor as _"The Dark Drop Podcast"._
There is a fair few of us on my shift and the opposite shifts that keep saying they hear the door being slammed at the end of the room when on nights, I have always said you didn't hear them come in, only hear them leaving. I worked with 2 people who refused to go down the basement without me, one was my gaffer, it was pitch black until the sensors kicked in.
One night I was sitting in my control room when I saw in the corner of my eye a shadowy figure go by, it was about 6 feet but thin, it seemed to just glide past, it was very strange indeed.
The other week I was on a platform and looked around down towards the floor and my mind must have being playing tricks as around 3 o'clock in the morning and I saw a little boy standing there, I thought nothing of it as only a quick glimpse of something, so definitely thought I'd imagined it. The next thing I know is that I was freezing cold, I have never felt a coldness like that in my entire life and a instant fear came too. The mind plays funny tricks on you but I will never forget that feeling of cold for a long time to come.
I was once in Royal Navy and a great number of our ships company was housed in a old hospital (hasler) on gosport near Portsmouth, the hospital had been used for WW2 injured service men from tri services,
You could hear people walking around at night in the attic but the was not anyone there, and some people woke up to white lights in rooms hovering over them.
Very scary. And I don’t scare easy
Great episode
Not doubting you but I'm surprised you haven't included the ghost of an Officer who died under tragic circumstances!
Officer:"What do you want, Rating?"
Rating:"Commander Perkins told me he wants to see you in his office, Sir."
Officer:"Commander Perkins hasn't seen anyone in his officer since he was run down by a bus in 1953,son, go back to bed and if he tells you to get me again, tell him I'm On Watch and I'll see him in the Morning.."
Another ex RN here. HMS Sultan has (or indeed had) several accomodation blocks which in the 90s were used to accommodate stage 1 trainee mechanics fresh from basic training and beginning their trade training.
All blocks had various reports of paranormal activity but one in particular was active to a level which meant one dormitory simply could not be used for its intended purpose and instead was reassigned for storage use. This was at a time when recruitment was in full swing and any and all living space was in short supply.
Reports varied from seeing things move of their own accord to that of a full body apparition.

Many years ago, I worked the night shift as a security guard. I was the only person in a 5 floor storey building. On every night the lift would come down to the ground level where I was stationed at. The doors would open but it was empty. I was young, and back then I didn't know a lift won't move until someone pushes a button to call it. It wasn't until years later when someone who experienced the same thing explained that a lift can't go up and down by itself. Now this really spooked me. I still think about that bcz it happened every night during my night shift roster. It would go up, then back down and a bell would ring as the doors opened. Also when I did the rounds on the above floors, there was one floor, as I was turning to leave, sounds came from there as if ppl were busy at work. Truth is stranger than fiction. I never worked night shift alone anywhere after that.
The poor ghost operating the life was probably like "why is this dude not getting scared???"
It was probably just doing an automated maintenance check before resetting to default(lift at ground floor)
"And that...is when he saw her"
*exits fullscreen*
It's 3:00 a.m. and I thought it's going to be a good actual bedtime story but after 8 minutes and the ghost lady showed up, I decided to continue this in the morning😄
Man I nearly shat myself saw that jumpscare :D Its about 21:46 in my area.
Wise choice...
It is lovely that the security guard came to the distressed female ghost and tried to help her. ❤️. He probably startled her as much as she did him, she probably hadnt expected to interact with the physical world. I wish her well wherever she is.
Yeah she seemed pretty chill. Hope she gets a haircut soon too, she looks ragged af.

@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 with the way this world is goin i wouldn’t be surprised. lol
We have no evidence that there was a ghost. I love ghost stories, but these alleged encounters are for entertainment. Someone claims to have seen or heard something. It gets embellished. Time goes by and it gets enhanced then accepted as gospel. I would very much like to see a ghost, but in my decades on this planet it’s never happened.
@@Chipchase780 because you're sceptical. You have to be open to it. But you've just written an essay on it not being a thing.
Couple years ago, I worked 3rd shift at a gas station Thur-Sun and it not only started messing with me mentally, crazy things would happen at work which wasn't cool when you worked alone and didn't have any customers between 2am-4am. Large boxes would fall off shelves in the back room for no reason, boxes which were in the same spot for quite some time and in no position to just fall. I'd also see people in aisles shopping when I would be outside sweeping the lot and go inside and realize nobody was in there. I think the lack of sleep, stress and odd hours I was working stirred up some kind of poltergeist activity at work and not at home because that job was one of my biggest causes of stress for many reasons.
Michael, working the night shift at a gas station, and alone, is quite understandable that you would feel so stressed. It's bloody dangerous too. Here we call them petrol stations in Australia. If I were in your job, I think I'd be more scared seeing customers arrive than being alone. It has happened, and still does, about stuff falling down once I'm in bed at night. I live alone. I also hear random popping sounds. It makes me feel uneasy. In the daytime a book or 2 would jump off the shelf when I walk past. Idk what does that. I live in a one bedroom unit. I shut the bedroom door at night, and that's when I hear sounds coming from the kitchen. One night, I'd only just gone to bed and heard the metal coathangers in my wardrobe suddenly made a loud noise as they crashed together. We have no tremors or earthquakes here, ever. This really scared me. Someone asked me if I opened the wardrobe to look inside - I replied NO! I did look next morning to see if maybe some item of clothing slid off a hanger, but there was no item on the bottom of the wardrobe. It was just a sudden loud clashing noise. It made me want to run outside as it was inside my room. But it was around 2am. There never is anyone outside my group of units complex. Dark and still. Who do you call at that time? Nobody, that's who. What would you have done?
@@johanna5688 What would I have done? Lay there. Very still. Very aware. Waiting for something else to pop off. Wondering if it was a remnant product of a lucid dream, or something more preternaturally corporeal.
Suggestions: document. Put up some cameras and audio recording while you sleep.
@@johanna5688 I wouldn't even know what to do my body would freeze in shock because i know nothing could be possibly making that noise so how is it doing it on its own!
@@undefinedvariable8085 It was no remnant of a lucid dream bcz I read books for a couple of hours or so in bed b4 getting to sleep. As soon as I switch the light off & pull my doonas on, that's when it sounds like there's someone moving about in the kitchen. If I open the bedroom door to go and have a look, as I have often done, it goes totally silent and absolutely nothing there to see. As soon as I climb into bed, it starts up again. It sounds as if my kitchen is occupied by an unseen person or 2. The popping sound is just random, any time, but at night it does unsettle me. I hear all this at night before falling asleep. I've always been a night owl so I don't ever go to bed early. Early one morning I most probably did awaken from a lucid dream, or it could have been real, I'm still not sure, I saw my mother appear at the foot of my bed wearing the white shroud she was buried in. Btw I never got to see her like that in reality. (We weren't allowed to see her once she got sent to the funeral home, 31 years ago). So I awoke and saw her there in the middle of the night, staring at me, her white shroud illuminated her where she was, and I was instantly filled with utter TERROR. At once I threw off my doonas, wanting to call my husband for help & to tell my him what I saw, but once I sat up, she vanished. I also lay down again so broken hearted bcz I realised my husband wasn't here (he's abroad & can't come yet). I don't know what to make of all this. I wish it would all stop. It doesn't necessarily happen every night, but very often.
@@johanna5688 I would Pray when you see her, visit her grave and leave flowers, and get a Dog. If it's Really your Mom, the activity might stop--she probably just thinks you forgot about her.
I usually work the nightshift as a security guard and I have experienced some creepy things. That said, what I’m usually the most worried about isn’t something supernatural but rather it’s that someone will try to break into the site I’m guarding.
That said, I will come back to this when I get home and share some stories with you all! :)
Update: Sorry about the delay! I was completely beat when I came home yesterday and couldn't write anything. Anyway, here ya go! :) I hope you all enjoy!
I was working at this old factory complex that was closed for the summer due to maintenance. It lies pretty isolated and is almost completely surrounded by this thick, old forest (with only a small portion of one side being dedicated to the employee parking lot). Still while it could get a little spooky at times when I had to walk the perimeter and make sure that the fence was okay I never really got scared. If nothing else I figured I had this huge chain link fence that was topped with barbed wire between me and whatever animal may be out in the forest.
Anyway, it was around 2:15am and I was beat. I was doing the last of five twelve hour shifts in a row and I couldn’t wait for 06:30 to roll around so I could go home and get some sleep. I had just reached the far side of the complex when I heard this loud, ungodly sound coming from deep within the forest. Even now, after five years, I don’t quite know how to explain it. I guess the closest thing I can think of is this: Imagine a very big dog, like a mastiff, screaming. Not barking, not yelping, not howling. Screaming. Almost but not quite like a human.
I was so shocked by the sound that I just stood there for a while, listening to see if I would hear it again. I must’ve been standing there for two minutes before I (somewhat nervously) chuckled and decided I must be hearing things. I had taken all of three steps when I heard it again, this time much closer and I heard something big moving through the forest on the other side of the fence. I shined my flashlight into the forest but I couldn't see anything. After things had been quiet for a while I decided to continue my patrol. I had taken about ten steps when I heard it start moving again in the trees (with all the grace of a rolling boulder, I could hear it breaking off branches and forcing its way through the thick undergrowth quite clearly). At first I thought it was just moving on until I realised it was following me. That’s when I got really scared. I decided to test it out and speed up, whereupon it started moving faster. I stopped and it stopped. I tried to get a look at it again but whoever or whatever it was, it was smart enough to hide itself properly, didn’t even see any eyeshine which I thought was weird since you can usually see it on animals, even when they are hiding.
Anyway, I calmed myself down by reminding myself that no matter who or what it was it was still stuck on the other side of the fence and decided to just finish up my patrol like I normally do. Which I did, until we reached the final stretch. You see, up until this point it had slipped my mind completely that there was one section of the fence that some asshole had cut open the day before and we had yet to repair it with anything more substantial than some barricade tape we had just used to tie the two sections of the fence together. In other words, anyone with a pair of scissors (or a pair of claws…) could easily just cut through the tape and get in.
I am not ashamed to admit that, at this point, I just lost it and started running as fast as I could towards the guard shack. I think I could hear my stalker start running as well but at that point I was so terrified that I am not sure if I imagined it or not. I could tell you about that terrifying dash to safety, how I imagined I could hear heavy breathing behind me or how I could’ve sworn I occasionally saw something big in the corner of my eyes chasing after me but I won’t. Why? Because when I eventually reached the guard shack and pretty much tore open the door, ran inside and slammed it shut so hard that I thought the glass in it’s window was gonna break I looked outside and saw… Nothing. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
I quickly double checked to make sure that all the doors and windows were locked tight and began to check the camera monitors (as well as the recordings but I could only see me in them) for anything unusual but I couldn’t find anything. I am not ashamed to admit that after that I decided to not go on the rest of my patrols that night and just looked through the cameras.
I wish I had a more dramatic ending to the story but, well, I don’t. I never saw who or what was following me, I didn’t hear that scream again (except for what I *think* may have been it’s scream at around 05:00) and as far as I know none of my colleagues have experienced something similar before or since then.
I know this sounds unbelievable, trust me I was there and I barely even believe it!, but it really happened. So, I guess, take it for what it is.
would be intresting to hear some of the stories you come back with
And we look forward to hearing them.
Yes
Marked for the story!
I've always maintained that if you want to hear the best creepy or weird stories, make friends with cleaners, security or night staff.
I worked as a nightwatchmen as I was going to college. Though I only had one incident at a factory I was guarding that I would say was paranormal or I couldnt easily explain. This one brought back memories of lonely, nerve wracking patrols through dark factories at night. Good job again!
lol..
Well let’s hear (read) about it.
Share your story, gentleman!
You can’t just leave it like that? Tell us! 👍
I’ve worked night shifts in a large old factory, not as security though. But believe me, when you’re walking through disused areas at night they can be very spooky. We had a ‘haunted engine room’ where the engineers would always feel watched, and one saw a dark figure disappear behind a machine. It was creepy even walking past that room.
The building I clean at night is definitely not haunted. Besides doing spiritual battle with a Legion of devils that howl and bang on the doors at midnight, it's quite peaceful.
Just tape a Bible to the door, spay the tape with Holy Water.
Rip and tear till it’s done
That was great. Recently I did some scrapping at a local abandoned mill. It wasn't night time. It was day time. I usually have no fear going into these places as I've gone there many times on my own. But for the first time I was scared to enter this place... this time I decided to venture into the basement of the facility. Initially I found lots of material I could scrap for cash. However this time something was different. The area was dead silent, which was unusual for me as I could usually hear things while venturing around the building. My flash light worked, but for some reason it didn't light up the area very much. It was like I had entered a different atmosphere that was dampening light and sound... I thought it was kind of odd... I was a little on edge, but kept going. I went outside again, and made my way to another basement entrance on the other side of the building. As I went in, I hesitated even though I saw a good stash of scrap ahead of me. Behind me was light. But ahead of me was a giant room that was completely black with little beams of light breaking through cracks in the walls. I usually never hesitate like this, so I looked around before entering. I picked up a few pieces of metal but as soon as I did I felt like I was in a place I shouldn't be. I got goosebumps and looked around. I tried flashing my light into the darkness but I couldn't even see where the walls were on the other side. I felt that someone might be in the darkness. I didn't see anything, just felt. Whatever it was it did not want me in that room. I was in that thick noiseless, dark atmosphere again. At first I apologized, and explained I was scrapping then I walked out quickly. That's just one of my experiences of at least 2 other major ones I've had that I consider paranormal.
probably a shadow creature horrible things one followed me for about two years on and off,horrible experience it's making me feel unwell just thinking about it now
Wow! Interesting experience. Funny how we're so much more than what we think we are. Medical science just can't explain...

My friends have always told me that if we were in a horror movie, I'd be the first one to go because I'm the idiot whose morbid curiosity would lead me to investigate every strange noise I heard. lol

The human brain is frequently its own worst enemy. Sometimes ghosts are less terrifying than crushing loneliness.

I worked 14 years on nights. It only cost me my health, mind, and all my friends.
Currently on nights and I can feel that happening to me.
Same
I’ve never felt “lucky” working swing shift, but once a month I work a week of graveyards. That week I feel perpetually hungover … without the fun of getting hungover.
Really? I loved working the graveyard shift.
Currently on graveyard. Help
Yeah, every one of us in Security on nights usually has a story to share. Myself nothing big, just once a stall door in a public bathroom slammed itself for no discernible reason: no air currents, the A/C was off. No one else in that part of the building. I was using the urinal, wasn't anywhere close to the stalls, but it slammed. Other than that it's weird noises: sounds of people pushing carts around in the hallway when you're in a room, or this huge bang that happens in one building; sounds like something big, like a semi truck at full speed or an airplane. Always at 4 or 5 AM, but not every day, just sometimes.
Other guys I work with have their own stories. One guy worked overnight security for a law firm that he said was haunted; lights turning on and off, doors opening and closing, all by themselves. Another coworker swears he saw someone in the catwalks above him who at the time was actually on the other side of the building.
So yeah, you want to experience weird stuff? Work overnight security.
Something like the thing with your coworker happened to me in my own house. I saw my cat (now deceased) upstairs, which was extremely odd for her, she rarely went upstairs. When I walked downstairs, there she was, lying down looking at me. She didn't pass in front of me as I went down stairs. I never even heard her move, she was very chatty and would usually meow at you whever she got up from lying down. Extremely weird and I could never really make sense of it. A couple months after she died we got a puppy and he would occasionally go sniffing around, seemingly looking for something, only to come to stop and just get upset and whine a bit. He did this in areas my cat didnt really stay in much so I'm not sure if he was looking for her and getting upset when he couldn't find her or it was something stranger. Our cat was also like a genius, she opened her cage by herself a few times by manipulating the bottom lock of it and she also recognised herself in the mirror later in life (she would hiss at it when she was young but stopped at like age 13 or so). Extremely weird cat but I miss her dearly.
I've been working night shifts for the past 6 years. During 4 of them (pre covid, since now I work from home) I experienced a lot of unusual (maybe paranormal) stuff and I have a lot of weird stories of that period. The building that I worked at was known for a few people that commited suicide in it and for being near a place where many people were murdered during gang fights.
The most vivid memory that I have is this one...In my department I work alone, but in the same room there were around 4 people plus me. The room was huge, around 30x10 meters divided by 6 halls separated by desks. The 4 people that used to work there, were in one side of the room and my desk was on the other extreme end of the room, so I was always alone in my hall. Even tho we worked in the same place, we didn't talked much, since we worked for different companies (but in the same office) but we agreed on having the lights off to be more comfortable if someone wanted to sleep. That one night I pretty much had no work to do, since I finished everything around 1am (my shift was from 23:00 to 8:30 of the next day) so I decided to sleep a bit. I laid back on my chair and covered myself with a blanket that I had in my locker. I slept around 2 hours and I woke up because the room became super cold (AC was turned off during the night to save power) so I went to get a coffee, but the coffee machine was out of service, so I just decided to get back and just use my blanket to get warmer. Once I got back and covered myself with the blanket, I felt like the room temperature got even colder and I just couldn't sleep, so I grabbed my headphones to listen to some music and while doing this on the corner of my eye I saw a shadow sitting on one of the chairs from the entrance to my hall and I thought "It must be one of the guys from the other company... but, why would they sit there, since that place is from my company?"...
I decided to look and the shadow was gone from that place, I stared at the chair around 20 seconds (it was one of those office chairs) and then it started spinning and I panicked, so I ran to the part of the room where the other people was and I immediately felt a difference in the room temperature and told them what I had seen.
There was a guy that had worked night shifts for longer than me and he told me that he had experienced the same thing a few times during the years...
Juan, what a rough place you work in. And if I saw that shadow person, then saw that chair spin round, I would have left that place in a flash. What work were you doing at night? Are you still working there? Aren't you too scared to go back? And I thought my workplace before was scary!
@@johanna5688 I work for one of the ISP of my country and I'm in charge of monitoring the networks during the night.
Since covid began, we started working from home and recently the company sold the building and bought a new one at another place (I haven't been there yet) so I haven't been in the building since then, but still worked there for about 2 years after the event. I worked at that building for about 12 years, but I only experienced weird stuff when I switched to night shift. I've never been a person that got scared easily, since I've had a lot of paranormal experiences during my life, but that one night I was scared.
The next morning I told my boss what had happened, and he asked for the security recordings, but since we turned off the lights at night, it was too dark for the cameras to record anything clearly, so my only proof is what I saw and what other night shift workers had experienced.
@@themaggot8 Can you leave a light on to see if anything is recorded on cctv?
@@johanna5688 I could have, but I don't work at that building anymore.
I love night shifts. After we close our subway stations, we have about 3 hours of peace. We are on good terms with the cleaning staff, the maintenance teams, and the security guards. Sometimes we are telling stories about... Literally everything. New gossips about the line. After the maintenance/cleaning works are done, we also have a lot of time to think about ourselves. :)))
a video about my regular work hours, thank you
Back in 2013, I went to prep school and stayed in dormitory of sorts. Opposite of this supposed dormitory, there are a bunch of shophouses that's majority of them are vacated (there were two that has people renting afaik). I still remember that there are particular times that dogs will howl from that shophouses direction, around 5.40-6.00 am and around 8.30-8.40. Strange thing is I never encounter any pack of stray dogs near there when I walked around during the day and night
"Urban Explorers"...The current euphemism for trespassers.
Or potential thieves.
So true.
I worked night shift as a security guard for years. I loved it. Never had an incident.
I hope you're just being kind and protecting us all from the horrifying truth...
I used to work night shifts as a guard, in many places, never once saw anything weird, or heard anything. I used to ask specifically to work nightshift, as most people did not like working them. This was gaurenteed employment for me, and allowed me to work more hours than I would have otherwise, when first starting to work for a company.
Some people just don't sense paranormal energy. I had one sister like that. It's like only 50% of people can smell bitter almonds.
I work night shift alone in a lodge resort within a rural part of Scotland. 6pm-4.30pm. There’s a massive main building containing reception, bar, restaurant, gym and pool in which I’m based but I also need to patrol the massive lodge grounds. I can attest to many, many strange experiences and occurrences over the course of my time working here. However I love it, I like the peace and isolation. The strange experiences are just the price I have to pay I guess.
Such as...?

If you love the solitary life, then perhaps you should move to Perth, Australia. Nobody will ever knock on your door. Nobody will ever call, unless they are salesmen. You will think after a while that you live alone on the moon without neighbours. Too many here live & die alone. Nobody cares here. I prefer ppl I could chat to every day, but I can only dream....
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 I need to know!! Lol
I vacationed in Scotland several years ago. Everywhere I went in the that country, both urban and rural, I had the uneasy feeling there were unseen entities around me, watching me, escorting me, passively amused by me. This was most noticeable in Edinburgh and the Ben Nevis Glen countryside. I'm a pretty well-traveled person, and I have never felt this feeling so strongly as when I was in Scotland.
When I applied for the night shift, the first question they asked me was, "What is your experience dealing with paranormal entities?"
They could be asking because they want to know how easily you scare. Did you get the job? Ever see anything if so?
@@carl8703 I told them about the time I lassoed a UFO out of the air when it was trying to abduct one of my cows. They told me I might be overqualified.

I've been working in Berkley Square and near the haunted building.
It looks abandoned and creepy. I generally think it's a cover up for something dark.
Would love to get on there
Careful what u wish for. Thats how horror movies start
I would love to get it on in there too! A/S/L, ?!?
It could be ppl doing illegal stuff. Stay away if you value your life. Remember, curiosity killed the cat. Why not just call the police and ask them to investigate? If you go there, you may be an unwelcome witness to something bad, then killed for witnessing whatever it is. Again. Stay away! It's not worth it.
It reminds me of a story I heard of a security guard at Gladesville psychiatric hospital (in Sydney Australia) where he was guarding a building for demolition or rebuilding and swore he saw a figure with 'blazing red eyes' appear in the window, he quit his job on the spot apparently.
I worked overnight at a hotel for about a year, one of the creepiest things I've ever had to do. So many times you thought you saw someone walking towards you, but then looked up to greet them and no one was there. The coworkers independently confirming a weird reoccurring thing makes it so much scarier. I once saw a lady on the 7th floor of the hotel but when I glanced again she was just gone. I just wrote it off as a trick of my eyes but when I went downstairs and told my coworker 'I just thought I saw someone and then they disappeared" laughing. My coworker looked at me seriously and said, was it on the 7th floor? It was. Suddenly it wasn't so funny. Apparently she (the spirit) likes to greet all the new employees and give them a scare.
I'm from Hawaii and can confirm the story about the security guard and old lady is actually pretty famous here and well known by most locals!
Working alone in our old building at night I'd occasionally hear footsteps walking down the central walkway, always late at night, or in the early hours. I made a mental note of the sound it made when I was on day shift & people were actually there just to make sure it was the same sound. All of us who worked there on nights heard it.
Run.....just run
Im law enforcement/security for a community. One night my buddy and I were patrolling around an abandoned building cause kids would break in and hang out. The building use to do some science experiments and we had rumors it was haunted. We were walking the dark corridors making sure nobody was there; then we stumbled upon old documents and photos of the old experiments. All of a sudden we heard something behind us. We turned our flash lights so fast and we were both silent. Nobody was there. Deciding something felt off both of us drew our weapons and look around. After a few minutes both of us agreed that we should leave and we left the way we came in with weapons still drawn. We got in our patrol car and left. I still go back occasionally but I never went in when the sun went down.

I'd stay the hell away from there. Never go in alone anyway. What's worse, you could have been shot by someone lying in wait in the dark.
I worked the midnight shift in Philadelphia for 25 years straight. I loved it too. Police work during those hours is not only much easier it’s great not having the administrators around. They’re a complete pain in the butt. Most calls are valid emergencies and the people who are out at that time of night are either working or up to some kind of no good. And the freaky calls and incidents are fairly regular. You also get used to the hours and sleep becomes much easier. I miss it. I have a couple of stories that are absolutely unique and unusual. I work in investigations now and it’s all day work. I can’t stand the Monday through Friday 8-5 nonsense. Everyone is up your butt all day. Especially the administration.

Used to work the night shift at a fabrication building as a CNC Laser operator.
People would swear that the place was haunted and sure you'd feel your hair raise up when you were working alone. Never saw anything or felt anything interesting and the drives back home through the countryside in the night were spooky at times.
The facility was dangerous for other reasons, however.
Sometimes I have the feeling too whenever I'm doing deliveries around nighttime before finishing my shift and would feel if someone or something is following me or watching me when I'm at a place and haven't seen any.
Pray over yourself, things can and do follow people home, had it happen too me.
Great, i saw that a new episode had just dropped "Great, something for me to watch when I finish work" I finish at midnight (UK time) and I work in a hotel that is supposed to be "haunted"!!! excellent episode as usual, the soundbite afterwards made me cry with laughter! LOL
The expression on that old lady's face during the close-up would certainly have made me scream!
Beaming a 150000 Lumens torch to the ghosts could effectively vaporize them.
Won't see a ghost ever again if you shine the light into your eyes
So true lol
Nighttime can be scary, but scary stuff can still happen during a bright sunny day too. I think that can be arguably scarier.
Great vid.
So, as you predicted, I'm currently working my night shift security job. I actually started listening to this as I was changing at work before my shift began, and finished it on my first patrol. I'll let you guys know (probably on the discord) if anything weird happens tonight, but I will say that I've had a few strange interactions before.
I work at a nice hotel in my medium-sized Midwest town, and while the hotel itself has had some strangeness to it, it's the convention center that has had the most weirdness attached to it. I've talked to the other guards, and they agree. Sounds of footsteps upstairs when no one else is present or can even enter the space, phantoms passing internal windows, and things moving around when unobserved. The convention center is a part of the hotel, as they're connected by a tunnel that runs under an alleyway, and is a part of my patrol. There are a couple of doors you can use to enter: the big, glass front doors that are locked and latched when there isn't an event going on, two side doors used for deliveries that are usually unlocked during the day but I lock them at the beginning of my shift and then do a sweep of the location to ensure no one is hiding, and the back doors used by event staff to set up which are, again, locked unless actively used. I check all these doors.
Now, in my case, I get a good day's sleep before coming in. For me, 8pm may as well be 8am, so I can discount sleep deprivation. Heck, today I got a solid 12 hours of sleep before my shift, so I am bright eyed and bushy-tailed. In the past, I've heard toilets flushing, seen someone walk past one of the hall doors, and heard foot-steps not my own. And I seldom *feel* alone.
There isn't a definitive reason it's haunted, unlike previous jobs I've worked where someone had died at or frequented locations. This is just an older convention hall. Not even that spooky looking. It's nicely decorated, well lit, even when I patrol it, and there are no weird areas that might cause infrasound vibrations. I've gotten used to it by now, especially since I'm far from a stranger to haunted locales, so I actually enjoy my job. I get paid exceptionally well, especially in the current economy, the hours are set in stone so I'm not called in for shifts I don't normally work, and the benefits are very nice. All in all, it's something of a dream job. And I get my steps in for the day, as my fitbit tells me, lol.
I have good memories of night shifts from my medtech internship because the commute was more relaxed than during the day and there were lesser patients and samples getting checked at the lab. Maybe it was fun because I wasn't alone and everyone was still upbeat in the middle of the night. The only creepy experience I had during internship happened during one night shift though. While we were chatting around 5 AM, a trash can which had a foot pedal needed for it to open opened by itself and closed again fast just like someone stepped on it. It was in a corner and we were facing it so we could see if anyone actually stepped on its pedal. We were spooked and returned to our stations after that.
About 20 years ago I was at home sick in like middle school, alone and playing Starcraft or something. There was a tissue box near me, opened and with a tissue sticking out like you’d expect. For literally no reason, I swear the tissue just randomly got sucked back inside the tissue box. I saw it in my periphery, and it made the sound you’d think it would make. Like the reverse of someone grabbing a tissue. It seems like such an inane thing to happen, and yet I have no explanation. Only spook I’ve ever had. Maybe your trash can had a squirrel in it, one time one jumped out of a trash can when I threw something away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@sburn1919 There couldn't have been any animal inside because we were talking while facing the trash can so we could see if an animal jumped out of it.
I would have times, when working an overnight shift at a local grocery store, where I would see someone walk into the break rooms, yet when I would check, no one was there.
Worked night shifts at the theatre in college and must admit it was great
I have a love / hate relationship with my night shift. No suits walking around in my business, but it does take it toll on your overall health after a while. I’ve worked at a rehab hospital for years and all I’ve seen is the occasional shadow person.
I’ve worked night shift all my life. Not by choice.
I have not had many odd occurrences because I’ve worked in factories where there are many things still going on at night, that is not the case with my current occupation.
While there are a half dozen of us there at all times, the rest of the facility is vacant and usually quiet.
But each of us who have worked there for more than a couple years have had odd experiences in a certain part of the factory where no one else but we have to go. We all know it’s haunted and occasionally y’all openly about it. The skeptics chalk it upto things they try to make rational but the rest of us know the noises and happenings are truly unexplainable. It’s not malicious and fairly rare but what does happen is consistent and otherwise not explained.
We have had several (2-4) people die there over the decades because the work we do there can be very dangerous.
I am not afraid of it but the noises and things moving will always catch you off guard.
I worked 2nd shift at a motor factory when I was younger. Saw a strange black figure floating just above the ground. I later heard two people had died in that factory
0300 Is usually around the time where things (From a spiritual account) become rather active. And as once currently working the graveyard shift and having done such shifts throughout her career, this one really reawoke some of those uncomfortable experiences. Great episode, going to share this one with my shift mates.
3,6,9 and 12 are the so-called ‘chime hours’ when things of a supernatural nature usually happen. 👻
I worked the midnight shift for most of my police career and you’re absolutely correct. Those are the witching hours.
Do tell some stories please!
I won’t patrol a certain area of my work place between 0300 to sunrise. If necessary I’ll rush the patrol without checking door and usually looking over my shoulder as I go lol (nervous laughter)
@@stevec.8904 you are a cop? thats kinda... sad..... that you are afraid of ghosts and goblins and not, you know, the REAL threats, like muggers and rapists.....
I remember the year after graduating high school, I took a night shift CNA job at an assisted living place. Assisted living homes following a different set of rules than nursing homes, so I was the only CNA in the building containing 18 residents, several of which were usually active during the night because of their dementia. On one particularly quiet night I was sitting on a couch, filling out my charts, when I heard the back door open and close. Thinking someone got out I rushed to the door to open it, but nobody was there. Panicking, thinking someone maybe got in, I did a sweep of the building, first checking the east wing. After finding nothing, I get to the entrance of the west wing, when I see a man at the end of the hallway, wearing a beige shirt and brown paints enter a resident's room. I full tilt sprint down there, ready to confront whoever just entered this guy's room, but when I get there I see the resident, fast asleep, not wearing any of the clothes of the man that entered the room. Granted it might have been sleep deprivation, but that was a pretty vivid hallucination if that was the case.
Years ago I worked midnights and loved it. Other than seeing my reflection in a mirror in a dark room, I had one frightening experience. I was all alone in the building and sitting at the computer doing data entry and sales reconciliations, a phone extension button lit up on the switchboard for a few seconds. It was from an office where a suicide occurred a couple years past. Searched the entire facility and found nothing. Turned on every light and continued work. Probably a system glitch but hadn't happened before or since. Quite minor really, still I was seriously creeped out.
Bedtime Stories pops up, all other CZcams or activities can wait right now. Usually I like saving them for bedtime.
I mainly work graveyard shifts, and while I haven't seen any spooky shit (...yet), there are times I've felt like I'm being watched despite knowing I'm not being observed.
I was hiding in the shadows watching you
It is said in some cultures, that those who go out at night will meet a ghost.
For two nights in late autumn last year, while I took my dogs out, I saw some strange lights flying back and forth in a small area. I was creeped out because there was no sound from these lights that you would expect to hear from a plane. My brother claims I might have seen a helicopter but I’m not convinced due to the flight plan. No aircraft will fly in such a small area, going back and forth. Whatever it was it creeped me out and it has made me scared of the dark. I can’t stand outside more than 5 minutes, even on our screened in patio, out of fear. My dad thinks I need to get over my fear but it has deeply ingrained itself into my memories.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 I've always wondered why if these kinds of sightings are actually aliens then why do they fly around shining lights?
@@SamuelBlack84 Who knows. All I know is I’m creeped out still. It finally got so bad I refused to go out at 9:00 p.m. to take the dogs out. Now I have to tell them 5 minutes maximum because I don’t want to see those lights again. If they were from an unidentified flying object (and I’m certain it was) I don’t want to see them again. I already suffer from bad anxiety. I don’t need to have an increased fear of the dark because of those lights.
I had a similar experience to seeing a glowing green eyed entity as in the last story. There were two of us who saw the same thing - and we were over 21. Seeing is certainly believing!
Some of the scariest things I saw on a night shift were just people high on who knows what. They appear out of nowhere and move like they are possesed or something. Never have I been more glad to have the doors of my job locked and only serving through the window.
There are a lot of strange people who only come out after dark.
I've been a truck driver for over 30 years, and I can definitely tell you that there is a subculture that hangs out at truckstops or rest areas along the interstate highways at night.
Not all of them are truckers either.
@@truthseeker2321 I believe that
@@truthseeker2321 what do they do? Just hang out, drugs maybe?
@@malenyluna5275 Mostly just hanging around with nothing to do, but some probably are on drugs.
Some just act strange, have the goth look, making you think they might be vampires, which is what I think they want people to think.
There's hustlers trying to sell different stuff like cheap tools, there's sometimes male and female prostitutes.
Hardly any of these types are rarely seen during daylight hours in these places.
They all almost magically disappear, when the nightshift cops are due to show up at a truckstop, for their nightly coffee breaks, and magically reappear when the cops either get a call, or their coffee breaks end.
@@truthseeker2321 I see, thanks for the reply. On a side note, I can only imagine the things you've seen all of these years as a truck driver.
Not me but old coworkers have reported to have experience weird stuff during our 2nd shift, 2pm to 10:45 pm, and this is a welding shop. Our old lead was working inside the building alone and while he was welding his ear was flicked and when he immediately turned around to see his surroundings no one was there. For context there’s 2 buildings one of which has a plasma machine while the other one is the main building where the break room is and where we clock in and out , we as 2nd shift rarely work inside the main building as for the most part welders work outside lined up against the wall. Another coworker who was working outside reported that when he was welding he saw something walk behind him while he was working, side note when you weld you can see behind you due to the reflection in your helmet, he immediately stopped see behind himself only to see the rest of the guys busy welding with no one walking down the aisle. Others have reported hearing weird sounds every once and a while, especially those who are assigned to close shop as they’re usually alone when they do this. I was later told that one of the original welders, 20-40 years ago, passed away and suspect it his spirit.
Just woke up and having breakfast right now, this is the right companion while I eat! Solid vid as always
Are you in Japan? It's midnight here
@@MrSdsok south east asia, rn it's around 4:30 AM
The closing lines had me spooked 😱…reminds me of night drives I had to do through rural roads of Canada and the strange events that occurred while alone driving those roads to get to work…
Such as...?
please tell us those strange events, please !!!
Back when I was a night patrolmen, one location I had to go to was a large college campus and make sure all doors were locked. I had a wand to hold against pre-installed markers, that sent the signal to the bosses that I had checked that point. The place was always dead quiet, except for the odd mouse or rat to hear scavenging about. Well anyway one night I was marking the second last checkpoint, which was on the side of the school oval, about 20 feet off the oval, into the bush area. There was a metal fence all around the oval, which was what the second last checkpoint marker was attached to. Anyway...
I walked up to it, held the wand against it, turned around, started walking away, took 3 steps and hear a distinct 'CHINK' noise exactly where I was just standing 3 steps ago. I shat myself, turned around, and found myself with a staring contest against an owl, who had perched itself on top of the fence. We look at each other for some time, I think to myself, holy shit that is freaky but awesome, turn around, take another 2 steps away, think 'Oh wow I need to take a photo of this', turn around, about to whip out my phone, and... gone. It was gone. No noise.
The freaky thing is, there was no wind at all, no noise. Absolutely no noise whatsoever, I couldn't even hear crickets. There was no 'whoosh' or flapping of wings. Only the 'chink' of the owls claws wrapping around the metal fence. And 0 noise when it left. No scraping of the claws against the fence or whipping of wings as it flew away. It disappeared.
If you didn't know, owls are one of the deadliest predator bird species for how they make 0 noise. They are literally bird ninjas. Deadliest for their prey that is, not humans, although it wouldn't surpise me if a large hungry owl had the ability to swoop off with a very young child. If that could/were to happen, the child would just not be there, no noise, just gone.
About 2 years after that, for no reason whatsoever other to see what would happen, I did a meditation with the purpose to find out what my 'spirit animal' is, using the Gateway Hemi-sync program. With closed eyes, fully conscious, I had a clear and vivid image in my head of an owl surrounded by lightning. I hadn't thought about that night in the 2 years since, but instantly made the connection. If you decide to believe in the possibility of spirit animals existing, it is said that your spirit animal will show up in random, memorable events in your life.
Could just be my subconscious mind connecting dots during the mediation, or it could be the owl is my spirit animal. Whatever the case, both experiences were profound.
Well this was terrifying
I agree!
I worked the overnight shift twice, once at a convenience store and never had anything happen. Then at an Airport where I had a few crazy and eerie events. I
AHHHHHH!
I've been binge watching the entire channel for the past 2 months, waiting for a fresh episode.
I work OVERNIGHT in a very old university in the academic buildings....
This is probably the last channel I should listen to while working overnight in a dark building alone....but it helps the time fly by.
I realize this is two years now after you posted this, and it's funny I've read it, because I'm working on a fiction trilogy and had an epiphany for the main character to be a security guard at an old, relatively isolated college. I'd love to know what the 'routine' is, how old the uni is (don't need to know which one; it doesn't matter), what weirdness you encounter/encountered.
@Texscripter the university is over 150 years old. Universitys, as well as prisons and hospitals are a hot bed of weird energy because of high stress environments and constant deaths. There is a lot of creativity that can be pulled from it. Working the nightshift I've seen spirit's before, heard screams, and plenty of other things.
@@Moral0Fixation so it's what I thought...I can think up some crazy and creepy things that might not be far off the mark, LOL. Thank you for responding, I appreciate that!
I live on OAHU, and as soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew one of the stories would be about the HPD K9 training center. It's a very well known local ghost story. Awesome work as always!
I worked overnight shift at my work for over year…..some crazy stuff happened.
Lights flickering
Footsteps where no one was there
Sounds in the walls
And of course, a face in the window of one of the doors…………
Glad I don't work these anymore, but I loved being able to complete the job on my own time with no by-the-book supervisor looking over my shoulder.
The very idea of a Bigfoot Ghost, honestly makes me very sad :(
Same here but this plant is over 70 years old and surrounded by woods on all sides. Can get creepy at times
SpongeBob: “Night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, na-na-na-na-night! Night!” remember to look out for the hash-slinging slasher!
My dad once told me this story.
He was a policeman and he was once posted to a government building in the capitil. In my country back then, it was not uncommon for gov. Building to have small police posts in them and my dad worked in one.
One night, he said was making his rounds on the upper floors when she suddenly heard noises coming from one of the offices. But when he went to investigate, he saw one of the other officers sitting there at his post drinking coffee.
A little puzzled, my dad went off to continue his patrol and he was passing the same office one his way back, when the same officer from before suddenly came out and when he saw my dad, he wanted to know what my dad was making so much noise and running up and down the hall way.
There were a few other incidents while he was there, but he said that was the one he remembered the most
The production quality has gone way up lately. These images are great, and I love the animations too. Keep up the great work.
I like your bonus clip at the end - remember, farts are the ghosts of the food we eat!
Having done nights I can testify the strangest things tend to happen when it's dark...
I usually work the 3rd Shift when I worked for Greyhound. Never seen anything supernatural though. I think our fear of the dark mostly comes from the time our ancestors were not at the top of the food chain and and in a time before electricity and artificial light there really were things in the night that could come and get you since a lot of predatory animals are nocturnal and hunt at night.
I agree. Even back then, campfires were likely kept throughout the night. I have a pet hypothesis that's entirely unresearched and therefore unscientific that so-called "night owls" like myself are basically modern equivalents of the people who, back then, would have kept those fires going through the night. The fire, after all, kept those "monsters" away. That little piece of the Sun, which drives those "monsters" away each morning, brought down to Earth to keep them away at night. Even as I prefer night over day, I still need some kind of light if I'm actually doing stuff.
Doesn't help that our brains aren't very good at processing visual information in low-light conditions. In the dark, unfamiliar things frequently look larger than they actually are, or distorted in some other way.
@@LunDruid Also people didn't sleep in one long 8hr phase before industrial revolution. They slept in 4hr segments waking up in the middle. Who knows maybe prehistoric humans slept in an even different pattern just a few hours at a time.
@@LunDruid that hypothesis sounds like it could hold some water.
this is mostly the truth of it. long before cities and centralized living locations for masses of humans, people were VERY vulnerable big cats like tigers and panthers. most predators have been displaced and eradicated by humans over the last 10,000 years, so this fear of the dark is just a left over trait from pre civ times..... also, humans have OVERACTIVE imaginations. we imagine (or make up) stuff to fill in the blanks of our perceived reality. so when its dark and the one sense that pulls in about 80% of our ability to interpret our surroundings is not available, we make stuff up. what happens when you are anxious and scared because you are can no longer sense your surroundings? you think up things that are going to scare you. not on purpose, but just because your lizard brain runs thru the checklist of things that can kill you so you can (potentially) avoid them. atleast, thats my thoughts on it.
You have never experience it that's all. I had a brother ehp thought the same till he experienced it while on their way home with our cousin. It shook them to the core.
Dear BS .. found your CZcams channel awhile back and have been hooked ever since. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to your stories on overnight road trips - dark stormy afternoons on my way home from work or at home just before bed. You guys rock and I hope you keep doing your thing. - Fan from Florida
I remember a TV show that used to air on ITV in the middle of the night in the early 90s where a film crew interviewed people who work the night shift
Dave Atell? What a hoot!
they oughta pay more for nightshifts if this shit happens more than i thought it does
I worked as a caretaker in a very old building, a former church with a graveyard all around it, even had a crypt beneath it too. The place certainly had ghosts, many of them and although I was a bit scared at first, I grew used to them and even looked forward to any encounters I might have. I used to play music on my phone as I walked through the building doing my rounds, trying different kinds from different eras to see what they liked the best. I can't explain how I knew if they were happy or not but......I just did. Music from the 1920s to 1930s seemed to be their favorite so perhaps the ghosts were from that time period but I can't say for sure.
I don't work there anymore but part of me misses them. Perhaps one day, when my own life is at an end, I will meet them.
What you did with the music was something I attempted as a teenager when I gained access to the gymnasium which was the only structure left from our towns former high school. I played a lot of music from the 1950's-60's as I sat on the stage which had the old locker rooms beneath at 2am in the pitch black gym in hopes to stir up something. Unfortunately, only thing I stirred up was some bats! LOL
@@michaelsteele4587 It may have been the wrong music for any ghosts that might have been there in that old school you were in. It took me several attempts. I even tried medieval and old traditional music from the locale the building was in at one point. It lead me to believe that although the ghosts I knew may not be aware of the passage of time, they indicated to me, music from different time periods had more appeal to them than others. As I said, it was difficult to explain. A feeling, a change in the atmosphere? It's so hard to put into words but to those of you out there, working in deserted buildings late at night that unnerve you, try some music. It just might work wonders and make your long shifts go past easier until that welcome sun peeks over the horizon again. :)
I remember working night shift in a large hotel/spa resort once and having to check the entire spa for people visiting out of hours, it was especially intense when I walked past a motion detected hand dryer and near jumped out of my skin!
I remember that when I was 8 years old my mother took me to her job, because she and few other workers had to stay after hours. I walked around building and used elevator few times.....Then out of nowhere I was overcomed with feeling of fear and I could feel something was with me on the first floor.........I came back down to others.............After we came back to house I asked mom, if that building was haunted......................She said yes...................I am almost 30 years old and I still remember that..................
I gotta friend who’s been working nights at a nursing home for 30 years. He’s seen odd lights outside, some elderly spirits,, the spirits seem to just be repetitions. Except for the poltergeist.
I worked the nightshift in an aged care home. 1st one I worked at for 5 years and only a couple of strange incidences happened, the second on which I worked of for 3 years was a huge of paranormal activity. I did works the nightshift.
And you guys still work there? I would have ran out of there like an Olympian.
Nightshift: the most haunting and horrifying thing us Albertans have ever come across.
😄🤣
Ya alberta is twice as scary at night being flat and all
They don't have night shift in Canada. I live in Oklahoma. The poorest of the United States. Like every job we have is 12 hours a day 6 days a week overnight from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and we get paid like 9 and 1/2 dollars an hour for it.
Why? What's the connection between nightshift & Alberta? I mean, there are nightshifts everywhere. What am i missing here?
@@Tam0de Nothing, Albertans are just easily frightened.
The story about Lockwell was my favorite in this video. The town I live in has a ton of small breweries and bars that are built together and it reminded me of some of the breweries me and my family would frequent in the summer time.
In the Philippines, we have all kinds of stories focused around supernatural folklore. Of which, two subjects in particular stand out as similar to the first two stories in this video, known respectively as the Lady in White and the Lady in Black. The White Lady, as one entity is sometimes called, is scary but considered harmless as she is typically angry/grieving but reserved and generally wants to be left alone even to the frightened onlookers she presents herself to. The Lady in Black/Black Lady by contrast, although similar in some aspect to the Lady in White, is a rarer spectral entity and for good reason; as she is considered to be a malevolent harbinger of death and misfortune. She is also believed or known to violently assault anyone who witnesses her apparitions and is also said to have a malicious desire to frighten her victims to death and/or haunt them until they expire.
Your English is beautiful
Ever heard the story about the One Eyed Nun?
for some reason Night shifts at call centers have one Universal Ghost, the ghost of a young boy named "Jun-jun" present in almost all night shift stories
@@cosmiccocoon thanks!
@@davidortiz3094 not particularly, no. Though, we had stories tied to a prominent local church in my hometown that the ghosts of headless nuns and a similarly decapitated priest were said to haunt the church grounds at night. These were believed to be unfortunate victims of the Japanese occupation during World War 2.
My late father did security duty in a few of his jobs. One time he saw two men approaching the building from a field at night. He shouted at them but they still approached, turned out it was a cow with black and white markings that looked like two figures at night. He never had any supernatural experiences at work. He did however live in a house as a child haunted by a ghost 👻 cat 🐈.
Interesting how the mind trick us.
The ghost cat sounds nice. I always wanted my late dogs to come visit as spirits. Was the cat a late family pet of your dad’s family?

Lame joke :
🤣You think I give a damn
Over the years of watching shows like I have noticed something. So called paranormal events and creatures tend to visit those that are feeling vulnerable or in some way distressed. While this is not always true, it does encompass a large number of cases I'm aware of.
really? How aabout you go & visit a cremation ground in the midnight and upload what you experience on CZcams?
you could have views & we will all know what's true & what's false.
@@student1140 Were it only that simple. From what I've learned watching shows like this over the years is that these phenomena are complex and don't behave in a predictable fashion. People can frequently go in looking for an experience and come away with nothing, while the more skeptical have the experiences.
More over, I doubt I'd be feeling vulnerable in such a place. I'm really fascinated by these kinds of things. So I might get skipped over entirely.
Oh I’ve a few spooky night shifts stories. Working in a hospital that has stood for nigh on 200 years you see some things! Nurses who haven’t clocked out, patients who never went home, it all goes on on the night shift 👻
