It’s Not Haunted – Paranormal Nightshift Story – Episode 67

1
00:00:01,600 –> 00:00:04,640
Welcome to Paranormal Night
Shift your home for all things

2
00:00:04,640 –> 00:00:07,640
that go bump in the dark and
your fan stories told here.

3
00:00:08,400 –> 00:00:12,920
We’ve all heard stories of
haunted hotels, but what if you

4
00:00:12,920 –> 00:00:17,160
had to clock in to a haunted
hotel every day?

5
00:00:18,080 –> 00:00:22,080
Today’s story comes from
Anonymous for obvious reasons,

6
00:00:22,880 –> 00:00:27,340
but that was their nightmare.
The place of their employment,

7
00:00:27,340 –> 00:00:30,740
the place of their income, the
place that they had to go every

8
00:00:30,740 –> 00:00:35,060
day, was one of the most haunted
places in the world.

9
00:00:35,660 –> 00:00:38,860
I started working at the
Claremont Resort and Spa in

10
00:00:38,860 –> 00:00:43,740
Beverly Hills, CA in early 2000.
I believe I remember during my

11
00:00:43,740 –> 00:00:48,180
orientation that the tour guide
kept reiterating that the hotel

12
00:00:48,180 –> 00:00:52,180
wasn’t Heart wasn’t haunted.
Regardless of what we had heard,

13
00:00:52,500 –> 00:00:56,530
regardless of all the rumors,
the hotel wasn’t haunted.

14
00:00:57,290 –> 00:01:00,210
Now all of us on the onboarding
thought this was a little weird

15
00:01:00,210 –> 00:01:06,530
because not us had even asked.
But it was time for the tour.

16
00:01:07,370 –> 00:01:10,890
We got up to the 4th floor and I
remember that the moment that

17
00:01:10,890 –> 00:01:17,770
the elevator door opened, it
just felt off, like 1000 eyes

18
00:01:17,770 –> 00:01:19,810
staring at me.
And we hadn’t even gone into the

19
00:01:19,810 –> 00:01:23,250
hallway.
And this was at 10:00 AM.

20
00:01:23,950 –> 00:01:27,950
Imagine what it started to feel
like later that day, but again

21
00:01:28,470 –> 00:01:31,390
kept reiterating.
Absolutely not haunted.

22
00:01:31,870 –> 00:01:34,910
Absolutely not haunted.
You guys don’t believe the

23
00:01:34,910 –> 00:01:37,150
stories.
It’s not haunted.

24
00:01:37,190 –> 00:01:40,750
Now, I was going to have to work
night shift, so I came back in

25
00:01:40,750 –> 00:01:43,910
that night at 10:00 PM and I met
Phil.

26
00:01:44,510 –> 00:01:47,350
Phil was the graveyard shift
manager.

27
00:01:47,750 –> 00:01:53,200
He had started years ago in loss
prevention, the same job that I

28
00:01:53,200 –> 00:01:57,560
had just taken, and Phil again
wanted to take me on the tour

29
00:01:57,560 –> 00:02:00,600
himself.
But again, he kept reiterating.

30
00:02:01,280 –> 00:02:04,600
This place isn’t haunted.
No matter what you hear, you

31
00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,080
didn’t hear it.
No matter what you think you

32
00:02:07,080 –> 00:02:12,200
saw, you didn’t see it.
Just remember this place isn’t

33
00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:15,000
haunted.
Well, this made me feel even

34
00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:18,760
more uncomfortable.
I hadn’t asked the question yet.

35
00:02:19,520 –> 00:02:23,120
Why is everyone telling us that
it’s not haunted?

36
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:27,720
First place we go is the kitchen
and he reiterates to me.

37
00:02:28,000 –> 00:02:30,000
Make sure that the doors are
locked.

38
00:02:30,760 –> 00:02:34,160
This door is to remain locked
all the time after 10:00 PM.

39
00:02:34,520 –> 00:02:38,680
Otherwise our guests will walk
right into the kitchen.

40
00:02:39,360 –> 00:02:42,640
Make sure that the door stays
locked.

41
00:02:43,240 –> 00:02:47,400
We walked into the closed and
emptied kitchen and a swinging

42
00:02:47,400 –> 00:02:51,150
door was propped open.
The door was propped open with

43
00:02:51,150 –> 00:02:55,270
the door stop just like Phil had
told me not to do.

44
00:02:56,110 –> 00:03:01,150
Phil bends down to open the door
stop and it goes flying across

45
00:03:01,150 –> 00:03:04,350
the room now.
These are like old doors, like

46
00:03:04,350 –> 00:03:07,790
swinging doors that you would
see at the Wild Wild West OK

47
00:03:07,790 –> 00:03:10,830
Corral.
The door starts swinging back

48
00:03:10,830 –> 00:03:14,950
and forth violently.
I scream and I hear something in

49
00:03:14,950 –> 00:03:19,800
the kitchen screaming, like a
man being tormented, like he was

50
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:23,840
just being beaten.
Phil stops me as I’m trying to

51
00:03:23,840 –> 00:03:28,040
enter and looks me dead in the
eyes and says okay, screw it,

52
00:03:28,160 –> 00:03:30,080
this place is completely
haunted.

53
00:03:31,240 –> 00:03:35,600
Later after that and I was
getting off shift after I’d seen

54
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:39,680
other encounters and Phil told
me about all the history.

55
00:03:40,480 –> 00:03:43,720
My friend that I had made
deering orientation was about to

56
00:03:43,720 –> 00:03:46,200
clock in.
She looked at me and I looked at

57
00:03:46,200 –> 00:03:49,030
her and we both laughed.
Oh, this place is definitely

58
00:03:49,030 –> 00:03:51,270
haunted.
She said the same thing.

59
00:03:51,870 –> 00:03:54,750
I’ve worked here for almost 20
years now.

60
00:03:55,230 –> 00:03:59,670
I see things all the time.
But this is the only hotel that

61
00:03:59,670 –> 00:04:02,910
I’ve ever worked at and it feels
like home.

62
00:04:03,150 –> 00:04:05,470
I guess the ghosts make it their
home too.

63
00:04:06,310 –> 00:04:10,030
So I guess the moral of the
story is, no matter what your

64
00:04:10,030 –> 00:04:15,230
employer tells, you always think
for yourself and this place is

65
00:04:15,230 –> 00:04:16,070
totally haunted.
