Episode 23 – Nobody Was There
“Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift, the podcast that delves into the eerie and unexplained. In this episode, we bring you a spine-tingling fan-submitted tale that will make you question the boundaries between the normal and the paranormal. Our storyteller, once a skeptic of all things supernatural, recounts their experience as a nightshift correctional officer. As the clock struck 10:00 PM, the prison was shrouded in darkness, and it was time for lights out. But what happened next defied all rational explanation.
While observing the security cameras, our protagonist noticed something unsettling: two figures in the unit instead of just one. Frantic commands to ‘lock it down’ were met with confusion, as one trustee claimed to be alone while cleaning. The other figure remained eerily seated in the dayroom, a phantom presence that should not have been there. Despite the undeniable visual evidence on the cameras, a search of the dayroom revealed no trace of the mysterious inmate.
Perplexed and unnerved, they called in their superior, the sergeant, who witnessed the inexplicable phenomenon as well—a tangible entity captured on camera, yet nowhere to be found in reality. The tension mounted as the figure responded to the sergeant’s order to lock down, making direct eye contact with the camera before vanishing into thin air.
Left with unanswered questions and a sense of unease, the staff contemplated whether to document this bizarre encounter. The decision was made: this unsettling incident would remain shrouded in secrecy, buried within the prison’s walls.
