Join us on Paranormal Nightshift as we delve into eerie encounters that defy explanation. In this episode, we bring you a spine-chilling tale from Jess and Joey in Richmond, Virginia. Working the nightshift can lead to unexpected experiences, especially when things go bump in the night.
Jess and Joey, a newlywed couple both on nightshifts, found themselves restless and sleep-deprived during a week off from work. The odd hours led them to embark on a late-night drive, hoping to shake off the fatigue. Their journey took them through the dark countryside, surrounded by cornfields and moonlight. As they cruised along, they stumbled upon a local legend about a haunted barn where a tragic event had occurred, perpetuating a chilling presence.
Curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to investigate the barn despite their skepticism. Armed with only cellphone flashlights, they approached the ominous structure. To their shock, they witnessed a figure hanging from the rafters. The atmosphere turned from eerie to sinister as the figure noticed their presence and began descending. Panic set in, and the couple fled to their car, only to find it inexplicably unresponsive.
A dark, shadowy entity resembling a man pursued them, relentlessly banging on the car. The couple’s terror escalated as they sped away, the mysterious figure tailing them with an otherworldly persistence. The haunting pursuit continued until they reached an area illuminated by streetlights, where the entity inexplicably halted. They returned home, shaken but alive, only to discover handprints on the back glass of their car.
This gripping account serves as a warning about the dangers of delving into the unknown. Sometimes, it’s best to leave legends undisturbed, as meddling can lead to terrifying consequences. Tune in to Paranormal Nightshift to explore more real-life tales that blur the line between the natural and the supernatural.

So again, welcome to Paranormal
Night Shift.
2
00:00:06,440 –> 00:00:10,480
Your fan story is told here.
People ask me all the time about
3
00:00:10,480 –> 00:00:12,760
the name Why Paranormal Night
Shift?
4
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:16,440
And it’s because like in this
story, you’ll find that the
5
00:00:16,440 –> 00:00:19,680
people who work Night Shift are
the people who are up when the
6
00:00:19,680 –> 00:00:21,320
things that go bump in the night
are up.
7
00:00:21,880 –> 00:00:26,320
This fan story from Jess and
Joey in Richmond, VA proves that
8
00:00:27,000 –> 00:00:30,610
Jess and Joey both work night
shift and their sleep schedule
9
00:00:30,610 –> 00:00:34,210
was messed up and tonight they
came in contact with something
10
00:00:34,570 –> 00:00:37,450
that they can’t explain.
Just and Joey write in that
11
00:00:37,490 –> 00:00:40,770
we’re newlyweds, we both work at
the same plant, we both work
12
00:00:40,770 –> 00:00:43,370
night shift and if you’ve ever
worked night shift you’ll
13
00:00:43,370 –> 00:00:46,170
understand that your sleep
schedule’s just a little off.
14
00:00:46,690 –> 00:00:50,050
We finally had some PTO that we
put in for and got approved for
15
00:00:50,050 –> 00:00:52,090
both of us to have a whole week
off of work.
16
00:00:52,570 –> 00:00:56,500
But our sleep schedule was just
so messed up about two days in
17
00:00:56,500 –> 00:00:59,300
of not sleeping.
It was one maybe 2:00 in the
18
00:00:59,300 –> 00:01:02,420
morning and my wife walked up to
me and just said let’s go
19
00:01:02,420 –> 00:01:04,660
somewhere for a drive.
We’ll go to Walmart or
20
00:01:04,660 –> 00:01:05,860
something.
I don’t know.
21
00:01:05,860 –> 00:01:07,220
We just got to get out of the
house.
22
00:01:07,540 –> 00:01:09,900
Neither of us are sleeping.
Let’s go do something.
23
00:01:10,300 –> 00:01:13,380
We live out in the country and
Walmart was a good 45 minute
24
00:01:13,380 –> 00:01:16,300
drive into the city, but it was
going to be nice just to have
25
00:01:16,300 –> 00:01:20,380
the windows down, music playing.
Just me and my wife just driving
26
00:01:20,380 –> 00:01:23,540
down and having a good time.
Has a lot of cornfields.
27
00:01:23,620 –> 00:01:26,750
And if you have ominous feelings
around cornfields during the
28
00:01:26,750 –> 00:01:30,270
day, wait until you drive past
the cornfield at 2:00 in the
29
00:01:30,270 –> 00:01:33,310
morning.
It’s just dark and dark.
30
00:01:33,310 –> 00:01:37,870
Country roads are dark anyway,
but now everything is so much
31
00:01:37,870 –> 00:01:41,070
more dark than it used to be.
The only thing lighting up the
32
00:01:41,070 –> 00:01:43,430
night is my headlights in this
full moon.
33
00:01:43,670 –> 00:01:46,270
Now this is kind of a ghost
story within a ghost story.
34
00:01:46,470 –> 00:01:49,310
See, there’s a local legend
about this barn on this road
35
00:01:49,310 –> 00:01:52,960
that and an old man did
something horrible and ended up
36
00:01:53,080 –> 00:01:56,360
unaliving himself in the barn.
And if you drive past the barn
37
00:01:56,360 –> 00:01:58,720
and your headlights hit it,
you’ll see him hanging there.
38
00:01:59,080 –> 00:02:03,000
I know it sounds silly, but it’s
an old urban legend from the our
39
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:04,960
town.
And I think every town has a
40
00:02:04,960 –> 00:02:08,240
small legend like this.
But we had never been on this
41
00:02:08,240 –> 00:02:11,320
road, this late at night.
We went to Walmart just to
42
00:02:11,320 –> 00:02:14,880
realize it was closed.
And now it’s almost 3:00 in the
43
00:02:14,880 –> 00:02:17,160
morning and we’re going back
down that road.
44
00:02:17,670 –> 00:02:20,030
We’re driving down that road,
and we’re talking about the
45
00:02:20,030 –> 00:02:23,310
ghost story, She jokingly said.
Wouldn’t it be funny if we saw
46
00:02:23,350 –> 00:02:25,870
something?
I mean, in fact, I don’t think
47
00:02:25,870 –> 00:02:29,470
anybody lives there.
Like maybe you want to be a
48
00:02:29,470 –> 00:02:31,870
little paranormal ghost hunting
researcher.
49
00:02:32,310 –> 00:02:34,870
Let’s go.
Look, it’s 3:00 in the morning.
50
00:02:34,870 –> 00:02:36,590
Who’s going to catch us at this
old barn?
51
00:02:36,830 –> 00:02:40,230
There’s nobody on the road.
And if anything, it’ll just kind
52
00:02:40,230 –> 00:02:42,620
of be fun, right?
I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t
53
00:02:42,620 –> 00:02:46,340
really into this idea.
But of course, you know, she’s
54
00:02:46,340 –> 00:02:47,980
my wife.
I kind of want to impress her.
55
00:02:48,500 –> 00:02:50,300
So we do.
We pull over on the side of the
56
00:02:50,300 –> 00:02:52,020
road and start walking to the
barn.
57
00:02:52,580 –> 00:02:55,500
And that’s when it all happened.
I saw it.
58
00:02:55,980 –> 00:03:00,020
I saw the figure hanging there
on one of the rafters.
59
00:03:00,620 –> 00:03:04,020
My wife saw it too, with nothing
but cell phone flashlights.
60
00:03:04,100 –> 00:03:07,060
It was as clear as day.
There was something hanging in
61
00:03:07,060 –> 00:03:10,660
that barn, and it’s solace.
I saw it move.
62
00:03:11,210 –> 00:03:13,050
It recognized us.
It’s solace.
63
00:03:13,410 –> 00:03:17,370
It knew that we had seen it and
it came down from the rafters.
64
00:03:17,930 –> 00:03:19,970
Both of us are in shock and
disbelief.
65
00:03:20,210 –> 00:03:22,970
This barn sets maybe 200 feet
off the road.
66
00:03:23,250 –> 00:03:25,010
We parked the car and walked
over there.
67
00:03:25,010 –> 00:03:28,170
All we have is cell phone
flashlights and a little bit of
68
00:03:28,170 –> 00:03:30,650
headlights.
But we see this thing and it is
69
00:03:30,650 –> 00:03:34,130
coming at us.
The shadowy figure from the barn
70
00:03:34,330 –> 00:03:38,330
has come down from the rafters
and now is aggressively starting
71
00:03:38,330 –> 00:03:40,220
to run towards us.
We bolt.
72
00:03:40,220 –> 00:03:43,540
I grabbed my wife’s hand.
We bolt to the car and I get in
73
00:03:43,540 –> 00:03:45,300
the car and I can’t get the car
started.
74
00:03:45,300 –> 00:03:48,340
Why can’t I get the car started?
This is straight out of a horror
75
00:03:48,340 –> 00:03:49,700
movie.
I am freaking out.
76
00:03:49,940 –> 00:03:53,660
But something is chasing us.
It is the shadowy outline of a
77
00:03:53,660 –> 00:03:58,060
man, like like a shadow person.
It’s the same size as a man and
78
00:03:58,060 –> 00:04:01,620
it’s banging on the car, but
it’s completely dark.
79
00:04:01,620 –> 00:04:04,180
I can see the dark outline of
it.
80
00:04:04,180 –> 00:04:07,970
That’s all it is, is an outline.
Finally get the car started and
81
00:04:07,970 –> 00:04:10,570
we start driving as fast as we
can out of there.
82
00:04:10,810 –> 00:04:14,010
I can see it in the rear view
mirror and it’s it’s keeping
83
00:04:14,010 –> 00:04:16,690
pace with us.
Now it is floating behind the
84
00:04:16,690 –> 00:04:18,970
car.
I see this dark mass just
85
00:04:18,970 –> 00:04:21,050
following us all the way down
the road.
86
00:04:21,329 –> 00:04:23,250
My wife and I both screaming in
a panic.
87
00:04:23,250 –> 00:04:24,730
What do we do?
What do we do?
88
00:04:24,810 –> 00:04:27,890
Keeping pace with me.
The faster I drive, the more I
89
00:04:27,890 –> 00:04:31,570
see it in my rear view mirror.
Every turn I make it makes every
90
00:04:31,570 –> 00:04:35,690
stop, every little acceleration.
It is following us as fast as it
91
00:04:35,690 –> 00:04:40,010
can, just gliding and flying
this black shadowy figure behind
92
00:04:40,010 –> 00:04:42,370
the car.
No, it had only been five, maybe
93
00:04:42,370 –> 00:04:44,370
10 minutes, but it seemed like
an hour.
94
00:04:44,650 –> 00:04:48,090
The one stop light near our town
just slowly blinking red.
95
00:04:48,410 –> 00:04:51,010
It’s a four corner stop.
I wasn’t stopping.
96
00:04:51,210 –> 00:04:54,450
I bolted straight through the
stoplight and it just stopped
97
00:04:54,970 –> 00:04:58,610
the moment we got from out of
the rural area into the city
98
00:04:58,610 –> 00:05:02,060
when there was actual unnatural
light, you know, like street
99
00:05:02,060 –> 00:05:03,380
lights.
The moment there were St.
100
00:05:03,380 –> 00:05:07,980
lights, it just stopped.
I’m not sure what chased us that
101
00:05:07,980 –> 00:05:12,260
night, and I wasn’t a sure
believer in the paranormal, but
102
00:05:12,260 –> 00:05:15,020
when we got home, we looked at
the car and there were
103
00:05:15,020 –> 00:05:19,740
handprints on the back glass.
Now, when we can’t sleep, my
104
00:05:19,740 –> 00:05:23,500
wife and I just stay home.
The sleep schedule or not,
105
00:05:23,700 –> 00:05:26,620
there’s certain things that you
just ought to not meddle with.
106
00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:30,400
If anything, let this story be a
warning to others.
107
00:05:30,720 –> 00:05:33,480
I don’t know what would have
happened if it caught us, but
108
00:05:33,480 –> 00:05:36,480
sometimes there are legends that
are better left alone.
