Step into the world of Paranormal Nightshift, where we delve into the eerie and mysterious after dark. On today’s episode, we bring you Gary’s chilling tale from the senior living facility he calls home. As a 24/7 maintenance man, Gary’s life is cozy and routine, until he encounters the enigmatic Miss Mary. Living amongst a community of seniors, Gary’s maintenance tasks are usually a breeze, from unclogging toilets to hanging picture frames. But when Miss Mary, a night owl with a penchant for late-night chats and static-filled TV screens, passes away, things take a peculiar turn.
As new tenants move into Miss Mary’s apartment, strange occurrences begin to unfold. Gary’s skills are put to the test as he attempts to tame a possessed television that flickers between static and shows, its volume deafeningly loud. Even after trying every trick in the book, Gary finds solace in a heartwarming realization – Miss Mary seems to be reaching out from the beyond. With a touching blend of nostalgia and the unknown, Gary’s encounters lead him to conclude that perhaps, in her lonely afterlife, Miss Mary just seeks connection.
Join us as we explore this tale of spectral communication and the unbreakable bond between the living and the departed.

Welcome to Paranormal Night
Shift your home for all things
2
00:00:04,120 –> 00:00:07,280
that go bump in the night and
your fan stories told here.
3
00:00:07,640 –> 00:00:11,040
Today’s story comes from Gary
and it’s called There’s Nothing
4
00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:13,400
on the TV.
I’m a maintenance guy at a
5
00:00:13,400 –> 00:00:16,640
senior living facility.
It’s actually a really good gig
6
00:00:16,880 –> 00:00:20,360
because as a 24/7 maintenance
guy, I actually get to live
7
00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:22,000
here.
And with as expensive as
8
00:00:22,000 –> 00:00:25,690
apartments are, it’s kind of
nice to have my own two-bedroom
9
00:00:25,690 –> 00:00:28,330
apartment here at this place I’m
on call.
10
00:00:28,330 –> 00:00:32,409
Sure, I get bugged about stuff,
but it’s usually pretty easy
11
00:00:32,409 –> 00:00:34,450
stuff to fix.
I’m not going to lie, it’s
12
00:00:34,450 –> 00:00:37,410
actually a really sweet gig
because the residents love me.
13
00:00:37,770 –> 00:00:42,850
It’s simple calls, you know,
clean a pool, unclog a toilet
14
00:00:42,850 –> 00:00:44,810
every now and then, hang picture
frames.
15
00:00:45,250 –> 00:00:48,210
But the job is great.
Think of it like having 97
16
00:00:48,210 –> 00:00:51,530
different grandmas and grandpas,
all who want to give you a candy
17
00:00:51,530 –> 00:00:53,450
and take care of you because
you’re a nice guy.
18
00:00:53,690 –> 00:00:57,210
Downside of it is, yes, you know
that their time is limited.
19
00:00:57,610 –> 00:01:01,330
I’d see a lot of people pass and
it’s never fun to go in and
20
00:01:01,330 –> 00:01:03,850
clean out somebody’s apartment
so that somebody else can move
21
00:01:03,850 –> 00:01:06,210
in.
Miss Mary was one of the nicest
22
00:01:06,210 –> 00:01:09,090
people I’ve ever met.
She didn’t have a lot of family
23
00:01:09,090 –> 00:01:11,530
that would come and visit her.
And Miss Mary was kind of a
24
00:01:11,530 –> 00:01:13,690
night owl.
I mean, she would stay up till
25
00:01:13,690 –> 00:01:16,930
two, 3:00 in the morning.
And sometimes I think she would
26
00:01:16,930 –> 00:01:19,170
call just so that she had
somebody to talk to.
27
00:01:19,600 –> 00:01:22,600
She would always unplug her TV
and claim she didn’t know what
28
00:01:22,600 –> 00:01:24,960
was going on.
I told him it was the silliest
29
00:01:24,960 –> 00:01:28,800
decision ever to upgrade all the
TV’s to these new flat screen
30
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:30,880
TV’s.
Nobody was going to be able to
31
00:01:30,880 –> 00:01:34,320
work them there, but that’s what
the facility did.
32
00:01:34,600 –> 00:01:38,600
Everybody got wall mounted flat
screen TV’s and guess what?
33
00:01:38,680 –> 00:01:41,080
They all hated them.
Somehow.
34
00:01:41,080 –> 00:01:44,000
Someway, Miss Mary’s was always
broken.
35
00:01:44,450 –> 00:01:47,090
See, the thing with these TV’s
is there’s no static.
36
00:01:47,090 –> 00:01:50,450
It’s not the TV’s that you and I
are used to to where if you
37
00:01:50,450 –> 00:01:52,650
don’t have that Channel, it
would just fuzz out.
38
00:01:53,010 –> 00:01:56,290
No, this is all digital cable.
It’s all streamlined into the
39
00:01:56,290 –> 00:01:59,650
TV.
But Miss Mary’s somehow would
40
00:01:59,650 –> 00:02:04,290
always find static and she would
set at 2:00 in the morning and
41
00:02:04,290 –> 00:02:07,770
just let the static TV play.
She said it reminded her of
42
00:02:08,050 –> 00:02:10,370
olden days.
She’d call me.
43
00:02:10,370 –> 00:02:13,450
I’d go in, mess around with it,
and somehow get it to work.
44
00:02:13,980 –> 00:02:16,540
Sometimes she would unplug the
TV just so that I’d come and
45
00:02:16,540 –> 00:02:19,740
talk to her.
But she was a very sweet lady.
46
00:02:20,140 –> 00:02:25,020
Unfortunately, she passed away
and I got tasked in cleaning out
47
00:02:25,020 –> 00:02:27,100
her area so that somebody else
could come in.
48
00:02:27,860 –> 00:02:30,540
It started off almost
instantaneously.
49
00:02:31,060 –> 00:02:34,540
The moment somebody else moved
into Miss Mary’s apartment, they
50
00:02:34,540 –> 00:02:37,980
were having issues.
Out of the TV1 day, I get a
51
00:02:37,980 –> 00:02:41,060
phone call again. 3:00 in the
morning.
52
00:02:41,750 –> 00:02:44,190
I need you to come fix my TV.
Something’s going on.
53
00:02:44,230 –> 00:02:48,030
It’s it’s just weird.
And of course it was Miss Mary’s
54
00:02:48,030 –> 00:02:50,790
old room.
As I walk down to the hall, the
55
00:02:51,030 –> 00:02:54,230
resident is standing outside.
I’m not going back in there.
56
00:02:54,470 –> 00:02:57,910
That TV is possessed.
I’m not going back in there at
57
00:02:57,910 –> 00:02:59,230
all.
Go look at it.
58
00:02:59,590 –> 00:03:02,630
I walk in and the volume is
blaring loud.
59
00:03:02,870 –> 00:03:06,790
Sure enough, the TV has the
fuzz, the the regular channels
60
00:03:06,790 –> 00:03:11,070
just flashing and going crazy.
The TV is going nuts.
61
00:03:11,420 –> 00:03:14,900
It goes from fuzz back to
another show to more fuzz.
62
00:03:15,180 –> 00:03:17,260
Everything’s loud.
I grabbed the remote to try to
63
00:03:17,260 –> 00:03:19,100
turn it down.
I just.
64
00:03:19,100 –> 00:03:22,300
I’m going to unplug it.
Everything I do is so loud.
65
00:03:22,300 –> 00:03:24,780
Nothing is making any sense.
I don’t get this.
66
00:03:25,100 –> 00:03:27,340
I’ll just unplug it and that’s
when I see it.
67
00:03:27,940 –> 00:03:31,220
The TV is unplugged, just like
Miss Mary used to do.
68
00:03:31,660 –> 00:03:33,780
She’d unplug the TV when it got
too loud.
69
00:03:34,260 –> 00:03:37,220
Try every trick I know.
I try flipping the power breaker
70
00:03:37,220 –> 00:03:38,620
box.
I try everything, but I can
71
00:03:38,620 –> 00:03:42,860
never get the TV to stop.
Finally I say, OK, Miss Mary, I
72
00:03:42,860 –> 00:03:46,940
know you just wanted to see me.
I hope you’re doing well and the
73
00:03:46,940 –> 00:03:49,780
TV stops.
The new resident complained
74
00:03:49,780 –> 00:03:51,660
enough.
She said she wasn’t going back
75
00:03:51,660 –> 00:03:53,780
in that room.
And I don’t blame her to be
76
00:03:53,780 –> 00:03:55,940
honest.
But I had a relationship with
77
00:03:55,940 –> 00:03:57,820
Miss Mary.
I don’t feel like she was
78
00:03:57,820 –> 00:03:59,460
actually trying to bother
anybody.
79
00:03:59,900 –> 00:04:01,900
The resident and I actually
switched apartments.
80
00:04:02,020 –> 00:04:03,820
So now I have Miss Mary’s old
room.
81
00:04:04,220 –> 00:04:07,740
And sure enough, every now and
then at 3:00 in the morning,
82
00:04:08,180 –> 00:04:12,380
that TV will come on.
I find it kind of bittersweet.
83
00:04:12,860 –> 00:04:15,380
Miss Mary was very much so alone
in her life.
84
00:04:15,900 –> 00:04:18,420
Maybe she’s just bored and
lonely in the afterlife.
85
00:04:18,980 –> 00:04:21,860
Tell me in the comments, would
you stay in a room where the TV
86
00:04:21,860 –> 00:04:23,860
did that?
Would you stay in a room to
87
00:04:23,860 –> 00:04:27,020
where you know somebody used to
have issues out of that room?
88
00:04:27,540 –> 00:04:29,020
I don’t know.
I like this story.
89
00:04:29,020 –> 00:04:31,980
It’s very sweet story.
