Episode 31 – I Need to Go Home

Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift! Join us as we delve into the eerie and mysterious world of the supernatural. In today’s episode, titled “I Need to Go Home,” we hear a spine-tingling account from a travel nurse in Tennessee. The nurse recounts her experiences working the graveyard shift at an assisted living facility, where strange occurrences are anything but ordinary.

As a travel nurse, she’s used to a nomadic lifestyle, but her latest assignment takes a haunting turn. The assisted living facility she works at operates with strict visiting hours, yet late-night visitors aren’t uncommon. The facility’s aging patients often attempt to wander, necessitating cautious oversight. However, a technical glitch throws everything into disarray, causing all the doors to become unlocked. To ensure security, visitors now need to check in and out manually.

During her solo shift, she spots an elderly man with a walker making his way to the exit. The nurse politely tries to ensure his safety and follows protocol, insisting on verifying his identity. The man is insistent, stating that he needs to go home. Frustration mounts as they engage in a tense exchange, but before her eyes, the man vanishes, leaving her bewildered and alone.

Her colleagues return, and she relates the bizarre encounter, leading to the discovery that the man who visited had the same name as a deceased patient. The nurse’s search for answers continues as she reviews security footage, only to be met with skepticism from security personnel who claim she was speaking to thin air. Despite their disbelief, the nurse remains resolute in her account, convinced that she engaged in a genuine conversation with an otherworldly visitor.

Tales of ghostly encounters during night shifts are common, yet this story carries an unexpected sweetness. The nurse believes that the apparition was none other than Mr. Patterson himself, peacefully acknowledging his time to “go home.” Join us on this haunting journey into the unknown as we explore the boundaries between our world and the beyond.
