Welcome to Paranormal Night Shift, your home for All Things That Go Bump in the dark and your fan stories told here. I receive tons of these stories sent to me every day, and most people probably don’t know who’s sending them in and things like that. But I was really perplexed today when I found three stories all about the same location from three different individuals. So, I found it fitting that since all of these stories come from the same hospital, today we’re going to call this episode “The Haunted Hospital.”
Story Number One:
I work as a janitor in the hospital on the night shift. It’s a great job because it’s only me and maybe two other people. Day shift does a good job cleaning everything up, so all we really get to do is restock linens and things like that. We make sure that they have the equipment that they need to run on days. This is a really big hospital; it never stops running. The emergency department is really busy, but other than the emergency department at night, there are places where there are no doctors, no patients, labs, and specialized areas. The emergency room has all of those themselves, but during the day, there are doctors’ offices attached to the hospital that’s where I have to go clean, and I’m there by myself.
One night, I had to go restock the X-ray room. Nobody was on that floor at all, just me. You know how the X-ray room has the glass and then a little communication box so that they can talk to the people? That’s how this one was set up. I went in there to restock and I kept hearing the box turn on and off. I don’t know why I did this, but it was just like static. I hit the talk button and said, “Is somebody there? Can you hear me?” A scream bellowed out; it must have been five or ten seconds long, and then the door locked behind me. I was locked inside of this thing, listening to it scream at me. I was trapped, just listening to this thing scream at me. I messed with the door as much as I could, but I couldn’t get out. I finally screamed, “Please leave me alone, just leave me alone,” and the door flung open. I ran down that hall. From here on out, they can get their own stuff. I make sure that they have what they need, but I will not go back in that room by myself.
Story Number Two:
I worked security at a hospital in Virginia on the night shift. We have to do tours just to make sure nobody’s where they’re not supposed to be. We have a command tower that we all sit in that has access to all the cameras. Sitting there about three o’clock in the morning, and I see this man walking down the hallway in an area that I had just been in. Nobody should have been down there; everything’s locked, the way in and out of that hallway is locked. Where did this guy come from? My shift supervisor sitting next to me says, “Go find out what he’s doing, tell him visiting hours are over, he needs to be in a room or where he needs to be.” It’s about a five-minute walk from the command tower to where I was. I was on the radio with my Sarge, making sure that we followed the guy and knew where he was, but he was just standing there, pacing back and forth in the hallway. I got to the hallway where he was, and the door was locked. I know that I had locked the door; I had to use a key to unlock the door. There’s no way this guy had gotten past me. All night long, doing my tours, maybe we locked him in here, maybe he’s stuck, I don’t know.
When I opened the door that leads to the hallway, there was nobody there, nobody. I said, “Hey Sarge, there’s nobody here.” “What are you talking about? He’s standing right in front of you.” “No, he’s not. There’s nobody here.” He’s legitimately right in front of you.” I didn’t see anybody. There was nobody in front of me. The man, or whatever it was, looked up at the camera and just dissipated, disappeared. I don’t know if it was a time loop or if the guy really was there. My Sarge doesn’t talk about it anymore, but now we make sure that all the doors are locked, just like we did before. But sometimes you see things on the cameras that you didn’t really see.
Story Number Three:
I’m a paramedic ambulance driver in Virginia. There’s one hospital that we just can’t stand going to because I promise you it’s haunted. I’ve seen all sorts of shadow people, people looking out of their windows, things that just don’t make sense. I can’t stand going there. But one night, we got a call, we went to the call, picked the guy up, and took him to the hospital. It was an elderly gentleman; he had been in a car crash, and there wasn’t much that we could do for him. But we took him to the ED, we did everything, we got him checked in. He didn’t make it. He didn’t make it. But I’ll never forget the guy’s face. I mean, I saw his face when we picked him up, just a nice man, it seemed like.
