The Man Who Crawls Along the Floor: What I Saw on the Night Shift

<v Speaker 1>It was creeping along in the air, moving back and
<v Speaker 1>forth like a snake. And then I noticed after a while,
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't going straight to the ceiling, it was going
<v Speaker 1>off to the left.
<v Speaker 2>A night shift alone should be quiet, predictable, but in
<v Speaker 2>a call center after midnight, one employee began seeing shadows move,
<v Speaker 2>figures crawl, and something watching the dark. My name is
<v Speaker 2>Edwin and here is beef. It's true scary story.
<v Speaker 1>When I was thirteen, we moved to an old nineteen
<v Speaker 1>forties housing track in Hayward, California. And when we moved there,
<v Speaker 1>it's just mainly a lot of older people there. They
<v Speaker 1>were retired and it turned out it was the original
<v Speaker 1>wife that owned the place, but it wasn't her husband.
<v Speaker 1>It turned out that her husband was very abusive and
<v Speaker 1>they think she killed him in the house. Also, I
<v Speaker 1>found out later they had a son there too. We
<v Speaker 1>found out from the neighbors actually that their son was
<v Speaker 1>a delinquent and he was a delinquent and they used
<v Speaker 1>to go around doing petty crimes. But nobody knows what
<v Speaker 1>happened to the sun. The first, very first night we
<v Speaker 1>moved in, I remember it was like eight thirty at
<v Speaker 1>night and It was my parents, me and my sister
<v Speaker 1>and my cousin had moved in with us too, and
<v Speaker 1>we were sitting on the couch and my mom was
<v Speaker 1>standing in the middle of the living room and this huge, huge,
<v Speaker 1>like green orb it had to be big as a softball,
<v Speaker 1>just flew from the dining area across the living room
<v Speaker 1>in front of us and into the closet. We had
<v Speaker 1>the Venetian blinds clothes. We were sitting on the couch.
<v Speaker 1>The back of us was the actual window. We were
<v Speaker 1>on the second story because the house has everything on
<v Speaker 1>the top floor and at the bottom it's a double garage.
<v Speaker 1>My mom was like, oh no, that wasn't nothing. It
<v Speaker 1>was just the light. The light came through. We're like
<v Speaker 1>two blocks from a major street, so that it was
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty. Nobody was driving around and this orb just
<v Speaker 1>comes through. After that, we had problems with the kitchen.
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, they put carpeting in the kitchen anytime
<v Speaker 1>starting in September until about March. When you go into
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen, you always feel like someone follows you into
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen. You always feel like someone's standing next to
<v Speaker 1>you in the kitchen. You would walk into the kitchen
<v Speaker 1>and on the other side of the frigerator would be
<v Speaker 1>the sink. And if I'm washing dishes and he goes
<v Speaker 1>out of the room to use the bathroom, and then
<v Speaker 1>I'll hear him walk back in and stand behind me,
<v Speaker 1>and I'll start talking to him and there's nobody there.
<v Speaker 1>And I was very consistent. As the winter sets in
<v Speaker 1>at night, it just gets creepier in the house. It's
<v Speaker 1>just really disturbing. One of the main issues I had.
<v Speaker 1>It happened to me twice. My mom used to work
<v Speaker 1>in the evenings twice a week, and my dad used
<v Speaker 1>to pick her up after work. So when it was
<v Speaker 1>like nine o'clock, we had to go to bed, and
<v Speaker 1>then my dad he would go around the house we have.
<v Speaker 1>We used to live in a bad neighborhood, so we
<v Speaker 1>always locked the doors. We checked them every night. So
<v Speaker 1>I would be in bed, my sister would be in bed,
<v Speaker 1>my cousin would be in his room next door, and
<v Speaker 1>I would hear my dad because everything in the house
<v Speaker 1>echoes for some weird reason, it just echoes. The houses
<v Speaker 1>are made really weird over here, and they're all different,
<v Speaker 1>and so he would always go to the other end
<v Speaker 1>of the hallway and there was this little metal flap.
<v Speaker 1>He would make sure the door was locked. He would
<v Speaker 1>jiggle the handle and it was this metal flap he
<v Speaker 1>would lift up. It was really flat and it was
<v Speaker 1>connected to the a hinge and you would lift it
<v Speaker 1>up and then place it flush against the door. You
<v Speaker 1>could always hear it jiggle, and then you can hear
<v Speaker 1>him walk into the kitchen and he would make sure
<v Speaker 1>the patio door was locked. He always had the TV
<v Speaker 1>turned off, so it's really quiet in the house. And
<v Speaker 1>then he would leave the front door and he would
<v Speaker 1>walk out and you had to close the door because
<v Speaker 1>we live on a vault, so a lot of times
<v Speaker 1>the ground shifts and the doors are kind of weird.
<v Speaker 1>And so he would leave and he would do that
<v Speaker 1>every Tuesday and Thursday and go pick up my mom
<v Speaker 1>and then they would be back in like twenty thirty minutes.
<v Speaker 1>One time when he left, about ten minutes later, I
<v Speaker 1>hear the door just open and close. Well, it's not
<v Speaker 1>normal for it to open and close because it has
<v Speaker 1>that same little metal flap. So the metal flap, you
<v Speaker 1>have to lift it up and then place it flush
<v Speaker 1>against the door. I mean, if you wanted to, you
<v Speaker 1>could break down the door, but you would have to
<v Speaker 1>kick it, and you wouldn't been able to just turn
<v Speaker 1>the knob open it and close it. So someone came
<v Speaker 1>in that door, it just opened and closed. I could
<v Speaker 1>hear it. And then I heard someone walk up the
<v Speaker 1>stairs all the way to the top, open and close
<v Speaker 1>the door, and I heard my dad put that flap down,
<v Speaker 1>and then I heard the footsteps go down the hallway
<v Speaker 1>to my room open the door. And then I started
<v Speaker 1>holding the covers over my head because it was making
<v Speaker 1>me really nervous because now the footsteps are in my
<v Speaker 1>room and my bed at that time was facing the door,
<v Speaker 1>and I heard the footsteps walk up to the head
<v Speaker 1>of my bed where I was at my covers jerk off.
<v Speaker 1>And then I woke up and it's the next morning.
<v Speaker 1>I asked my sister she heard anything. She didn't. My
<v Speaker 1>cousin didn't hear anything, And it just made me like
<v Speaker 1>a nervous wreck for a while until I forgot about it.
<v Speaker 1>And then a couple of years later it happened again.
<v Speaker 1>My cousin had moved out of the house because he
<v Speaker 1>was an adult. My sister moved into his room, and
<v Speaker 1>I had that room by myself, and so my dad goes.
<v Speaker 1>He does the same routine again, and he leaves to
<v Speaker 1>go pick up my mom, and this time my sister
<v Speaker 1>she has her friend spending the night in the room
<v Speaker 1>next door, and it happened again. You hear the door
<v Speaker 1>open over where the driveway is and close because there's
<v Speaker 1>no TV on, there's nothing on the house echoes. You
<v Speaker 1>hear the footsteps coming up each stairs, and then you
<v Speaker 1>hear the door open and just close like they didn't
<v Speaker 1>try to unlock it. They didn't have trouble pushing it
<v Speaker 1>open because of the flap. And then you hear the footsteps.
<v Speaker 1>It was like heavy footsteps, and you can hear them
<v Speaker 1>go all the way to the end of the hallway.
<v Speaker 1>I'm freaking out because I'm thinking of the last time
<v Speaker 1>it happened. I'm gripping the blanket like I'm holding it
<v Speaker 1>tight because they're not going to take the blanket off
<v Speaker 1>of me. I'm just like freaking out. And I can
<v Speaker 1>hear my door open and close, and I can hear
<v Speaker 1>them walk because I'm on the other side of the
<v Speaker 1>room now and walk up to the head they pull
<v Speaker 1>off my blanket and then I wake up and it's
<v Speaker 1>the next morning and then I go to my sister
<v Speaker 1>and I asked her, you know, did you hear anything?
<v Speaker 1>And before I can ask her that, she tells me
<v Speaker 1>she hears the exact same thing. Her and her friend
<v Speaker 1>are in the bedroom. They hear the bottom door open
<v Speaker 1>and close, which they know is impossible because of how
<v Speaker 1>it's locked. They hear the footsteps come up the stairway.
<v Speaker 1>And then I had told her what happened to me,
<v Speaker 1>and we had no idea what was going on. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's like Naketivy. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>it's from the sun, if he was dead and coming
<v Speaker 1>back there, I don't know what was going on. We
<v Speaker 1>had some other lighter stuff happen there where I was
<v Speaker 1>in the living room by myself, and it was like
<v Speaker 1>ten o'clock at night. A close friend of the family,
<v Speaker 1>we lost touch with her and she died of cancer.
<v Speaker 1>And that same night she died. In the middle of
<v Speaker 1>the hallway, this weird like portal opened and these people
<v Speaker 1>came out. It was like one person and a whole
<v Speaker 1>bunch of other people and they just kind of looked
<v Speaker 1>around the room and then they left. And then I
<v Speaker 1>had more activity at night too. That night and I
<v Speaker 1>was wondering if she came to visit to say her goodbyes.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know my very first dog we had. We
<v Speaker 1>had for about ten years. The problem is he was
<v Speaker 1>an aggressive dog. My sister's friend came over and we
<v Speaker 1>told him don't touch him. After nine he touched him.
<v Speaker 1>He got bit pretty bad by the dog, so we
<v Speaker 1>had to put the dog down. The very next day,
<v Speaker 1>after they put the dog down, his ghost was running
<v Speaker 1>around the house. I could see. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>anybody else saw it. I didn't want to tell other people,
<v Speaker 1>but you couldn't see us below his knees, but you
<v Speaker 1>could see very detailed of his curly tail that curled,
<v Speaker 1>and I would always see him run past me, and
<v Speaker 1>I see the texture of his fur, his little triangle ears,
<v Speaker 1>and then I would see him behind the couch looking
<v Speaker 1>out the window and he would just be running past
<v Speaker 1>me and doing his little favorite things. And I would
<v Speaker 1>catch him every once in a while. And then after
<v Speaker 1>about a week he disappeared because I think he didn't
<v Speaker 1>know he died because they had put him down, and
<v Speaker 1>I think his spirit just came back and it just
<v Speaker 1>took a while for him to realize that he wasn't
<v Speaker 1>there anymore. One Thanksgiving, This was probably like fifteen years ago.
<v Speaker 1>Usually the family comes from all over the Bay area
<v Speaker 1>and they go visit. We go to Thanksgiving to my
<v Speaker 1>uncle's house because he has a bigger house up in
<v Speaker 1>the hills, and so we go and we have dinner there.
<v Speaker 1>My grandmother and my cousin and his wife are the
<v Speaker 1>only ones that lived three hours away out in the valley.
<v Speaker 1>My cousin this time, he was going to spend Thanksgiving
<v Speaker 1>with his wife's family, and so he dropped her off
<v Speaker 1>at my uncle's house. But she needed someone to drive
<v Speaker 1>her home after Thanksgiving. So my sister was like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>I'll take you home Thanksgiving ended. I got home probably
<v Speaker 1>around like eight thirty. I lived in a little duplex,
<v Speaker 1>so it was like a big house in front, and
<v Speaker 1>he had these little tiny houses and they are connected
<v Speaker 1>by garages. The place was always really stuffy, and I
<v Speaker 1>was in the back, so I would turn on the
<v Speaker 1>porch light. And in the living room, my couch is
<v Speaker 1>right against the main window that you can look out
<v Speaker 1>into the property, and so I would always open it
<v Speaker 1>a little bit so my cats could run in and out,
<v Speaker 1>and then against the wall to the left was the television,
<v Speaker 1>so I turned on the television. I fell asleep, and
<v Speaker 1>then I just suddenly woke up and just like a
<v Speaker 1>couple of feet of me, it's a door. I have
<v Speaker 1>the door open. I have that little thing that classed
<v Speaker 1>the screen door open just like a couple of inches
<v Speaker 1>so the cats can just wipe it and come in.
<v Speaker 1>And I suddenly wake up and it's like the cable
<v Speaker 1>box underneath my television says ten thirty. And I look
<v Speaker 1>and I see this this thing that's like five foot tall.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not a shadow person, but it's made out
<v Speaker 1>of static, and it's just all static. You kind of
<v Speaker 1>can tell where the head is because it's smaller at
<v Speaker 1>that part, but it's like an outline of a person,
<v Speaker 1>but it's just static, like if you were watching TV.
<v Speaker 1>It was just static. And it just stepped through my
<v Speaker 1>screen door because it was only open like maybe an inch.
<v Speaker 1>It just stepped through my screen door and it just stopped,
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like it was just looking through the house,
<v Speaker 1>and a house so small. It was just a living room,
<v Speaker 1>a kitchen, and then it had two really tiny bedrooms,
<v Speaker 1>and it just where its head was moving and it
<v Speaker 1>was looking around I tried to keep my eyes closed
<v Speaker 1>as much as I could because I didn't want it
<v Speaker 1>to know I was awake. I didn't know what it was.
<v Speaker 1>And then it just stepped back out of my screen door,
<v Speaker 1>went through my screen door and left, and I just
<v Speaker 1>kind of freaked out, and I was like, Okay, I'm
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not going to get up where I'm visits there.
<v Speaker 1>It's going to jump me or something if I go
<v Speaker 1>near the door. So it took me about twenty minutes,
<v Speaker 1>and then I got up and I closed the door.
<v Speaker 1>The next day, I ended up talking to my sister
<v Speaker 1>and I asked her how was the drive because it's
<v Speaker 1>like a two and a half hour drive to take
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother home. And then she was in the night
<v Speaker 1>and then come back and she said she had the
<v Speaker 1>worst nightmares ever, so every time she would go to sleep.
<v Speaker 1>Because my grandmother's house is actually my great grandparents' house.
<v Speaker 1>The area used to be farming community, but it's like
<v Speaker 1>an old community, old house neighborhood. They were the first
<v Speaker 1>ones to live there back in probably nineteen fifties or earlier.
<v Speaker 1>The house never fell haunted. It just has like a
<v Speaker 1>little living room, two bedrooms, a little dining area and kitchen.
<v Speaker 1>It was really nice. My great grandparents had died there,
<v Speaker 1>but it was never creepy there. And my sister said
<v Speaker 1>she slept in my great grandfather's room. She said, every
<v Speaker 1>time she would close her eyes and go to sleep,
<v Speaker 1>this demon would get on her and just started choking her.
<v Speaker 1>Was sitting on her and just choking her where she
<v Speaker 1>couldn't breathe, and she would wake up gagging, and she
<v Speaker 1>would just try to calm herself down, and it happened
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times where it wasn't stopping, so she
<v Speaker 1>just got out of the room, and then she went
<v Speaker 1>and slept with my grandmother. And I said, well, what
<v Speaker 1>time did all this happen, and she said around like
<v Speaker 1>ten thirty. And I was like, well, that's when I
<v Speaker 1>saw that static thing come in because we used to
<v Speaker 1>be roommates. We used to live together at that duplex.
<v Speaker 1>She had moved out, probably like a year or two before,
<v Speaker 1>and she was staying at another one of the other duplexes.
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if it was something that was
<v Speaker 1>looking for her and it knew it. She used to
<v Speaker 1>live with me and was looking for and she wasn't
<v Speaker 1>at her place, so I went to see if it
<v Speaker 1>was at my place and then ended up at my
<v Speaker 1>grandmother's place. I didn't get to talk to my grandmother
<v Speaker 1>until Christmas because this was after Thanksgiving, and I spoke
<v Speaker 1>with her and she had horrible nightmares that night too
<v Speaker 1>of something trying to ch ocur. But once my sister
<v Speaker 1>was in the bed, it was fine. I know, sometimes
<v Speaker 1>you can pick up if you have like people that
<v Speaker 1>aren't nice, sometimes you can pick up bad stuff from them.
<v Speaker 1>That's what I assumed maybe had happened. But it was
<v Speaker 1>weird that my grandmother two and a half hours away
<v Speaker 1>and my sister's two and a half hours away. They
<v Speaker 1>actually they didn't see it as a static thing, but
<v Speaker 1>it's weird that something happened to them that same night,
<v Speaker 1>that something was very kind of violent towards them. I
<v Speaker 1>had some weird dreams too at that house, where I
<v Speaker 1>had a really, really vivid dream that I woke up
<v Speaker 1>on a slab stone slab and I was held down
<v Speaker 1>by a whole bunch of people in cloaks, and someone
<v Speaker 1>took a giant knife that you would chop like vegetables
<v Speaker 1>with and I could fill it, stab me in the
<v Speaker 1>chest and go through my worbcage and hit nick one
<v Speaker 1>of my bones and go into my heart. And it
<v Speaker 1>was like really really painful because they made it go
<v Speaker 1>between my rib cage and it only nicked one part
<v Speaker 1>of the rib cage and it went into the heart.
<v Speaker 1>And when I woke up the next morning, because I
<v Speaker 1>had to be like sixteen at the time, I had
<v Speaker 1>like really bad chest pain and I didn't do anything
<v Speaker 1>that caused me to get hurt. But it was just
<v Speaker 1>weird that I had that pain, lingering pain for like
<v Speaker 1>a week or so after, and I knew that it
<v Speaker 1>nicked part of one of my rib cages and that's
<v Speaker 1>why it hurt so bad. On top of it, but
<v Speaker 1>I had like weird dreams and we had different stuff
<v Speaker 1>in the closet, and I think about it now, I'm like, well,
<v Speaker 1>we do live on a fault, so I don't know
<v Speaker 1>if it's something to do with living on faults, earthquake
<v Speaker 1>faults with the ground changing and maybe something coming from that,
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, or if it's something already there because
<v Speaker 1>of that man. It's hearsay, but a lot of the
<v Speaker 1>neighbors did believe that the wife couldn't take it anymore,
<v Speaker 1>and they really think she killed him, So I don't
<v Speaker 1>know if it's something to do with him in the
<v Speaker 1>house and then that sun disappeared, I don't know. Ten
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I worked at a call center in downtown Oakland.
<v Speaker 1>I worked the night shift, and a lot of creepy,
<v Speaker 1>strange things went on in the office at night. I
<v Speaker 1>started working there during the day shift, and then when
<v Speaker 1>the night shift opened up, I started working the night shift.
<v Speaker 1>You get paid more, you get to actually talk to
<v Speaker 1>less people at night, and I really enjoyed that. It
<v Speaker 1>would start from eleven pm to seven in the morning.
<v Speaker 1>Everybody would leave the office when you come in at
<v Speaker 1>eleven o'clock at night, and I'd have one lady with
<v Speaker 1>me that she would stay with me until one and
<v Speaker 1>then she would go home for the night. I always
<v Speaker 1>thought I would see things at the corner of my eyes,
<v Speaker 1>like they were always like a light brown shadow person.
<v Speaker 1>You would just kind of at the corner the eye.
<v Speaker 1>You would see a person standing there would be kind
<v Speaker 1>of three D, but it would just be an outline
<v Speaker 1>of a person. And I thought I'd just watched too
<v Speaker 1>many horror pictures and I just dismissed it until one
<v Speaker 1>night I was working with a lady who stayed with
<v Speaker 1>me until one am. We were chatting in between calls
<v Speaker 1>and was around midnight. She asked me how I liked
<v Speaker 1>my shift, and I told her it was fine, there
<v Speaker 1>was nothing wrong with it, and she told me that
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't work the night shift. She asked me if
<v Speaker 1>I saw the man that drags himself across the carpet. Basically,
<v Speaker 1>there's this gray shadow person that's on his stomach and
<v Speaker 1>you could see him reach his arm up above his
<v Speaker 1>head towards the floor and just drags himself across the floor.
<v Speaker 1>And I would see him actually a couple of times
<v Speaker 1>a week, and I found it kind of disturbing, and
<v Speaker 1>I was very upset that she actually saw it too.
<v Speaker 1>When she told me she saw it, I said I
<v Speaker 1>saw it too, and we just never spoke of it again.
<v Speaker 1>It was just really creepy with that specific sh shattle person.
<v Speaker 1>He would actually move around a lot more when the atmosphere,
<v Speaker 1>at least five times a month would actually get really
<v Speaker 1>really heavy, and during that time in that office, you
<v Speaker 1>would see a lot more shadow people. At night. It
<v Speaker 1>felt like you were in a room with like fifty people,
<v Speaker 1>but there was nobody there. But yourself. On those days
<v Speaker 1>where it was really heavy, heavy atmosphere, anytime you would
<v Speaker 1>turn around, you would just see multiple shadow figures anywhere
<v Speaker 1>from like a child's age to adult age, so like
<v Speaker 1>I would say three or foot foot tall to probably
<v Speaker 1>about five foot tall. You would see several of them,
<v Speaker 1>just clustered different areas. And then that's when the man
<v Speaker 1>who drags himself, that's when he actually he moves a lot.
<v Speaker 1>He's quick, and you could see him going at the
<v Speaker 1>corner of your eye, going in and out of the cubicles.
<v Speaker 1>One evening, I actually saw him at the corner of
<v Speaker 1>my eye coming around my desk, dragging himself towards me,
<v Speaker 1>and I threw my feet up on my chair and
<v Speaker 1>I almost freaked out. I didn't put my feet down
<v Speaker 1>the whole time unless I had to get up and
<v Speaker 1>use the bathroom or get my lunch, and I put
<v Speaker 1>my feet down once the next shift came in. I
<v Speaker 1>don't know what was up with that, but it was
<v Speaker 1>just when the atmosphere's really thick there, not only do
<v Speaker 1>you see like the gray brown shadow people, you see
<v Speaker 1>these weird little blobs all over the floor. I've never
<v Speaker 1>heard of this before. I don't know why I saw it.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a medium, I'm not a psychic. I just
<v Speaker 1>worked the night shift, and it would be these little
<v Speaker 1>blobs that are about somewhere big as like a super ball,
<v Speaker 1>and others were big at about a softball, and they
<v Speaker 1>were just all over the ground and it was just
<v Speaker 1>shadow people and these little blobs, and you had the
<v Speaker 1>guy dragging himself across the floor. It was really weird.
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes it would go on two nights in a row,
<v Speaker 1>but it would happen at least five times a month.
<v Speaker 1>It was no ever any certain days that it would happen.
<v Speaker 1>It would just occur when I would come into work.
<v Speaker 1>I get migraines, and I had a bad migraine coming on,
<v Speaker 1>and so I took some tile and all. I always
<v Speaker 1>keep the lights on. I never turned off the lights.
<v Speaker 1>It's way too creepy to be in there by myself
<v Speaker 1>with the lights off. So during my break, I turned
<v Speaker 1>off the lights. I put my feet up in the chair,
<v Speaker 1>leaning my head back. I had my back of my
<v Speaker 1>head against the back of the the office chair and
<v Speaker 1>it was facing up towards the frelescient lights. So I
<v Speaker 1>had like this orange glow and my eyes with my
<v Speaker 1>eyes closed. Right after I closed my eyes, like a
<v Speaker 1>couple of minutes later, I see like three women's faces
<v Speaker 1>looking down on me. One is to the right of me,
<v Speaker 1>one is to the left, and then the third one
<v Speaker 1>would have had to stand in my lap, and they
<v Speaker 1>were like a foot above my head and they were
<v Speaker 1>just looking down at me. All I could make out was,
<v Speaker 1>I know, their hair was done up like I would say,
<v Speaker 1>like eighteen hundreds nineteen hundreds, where women would do their
<v Speaker 1>hair up with combs and stuff. And I couldn't get
<v Speaker 1>a clear look at them, just you know, eyes, nose, lips,
<v Speaker 1>feminine face. And then I opened my eyes and they
<v Speaker 1>were gone. And I found it weird because when I
<v Speaker 1>saw them, they were the same colors of f relescient
<v Speaker 1>light coming in from the lights above. It was making
<v Speaker 1>them this like orange kind of tone. It was very strange.
<v Speaker 1>But my head, when I get bad migraines, I have
<v Speaker 1>to close my eyes. I have to take a little nap.
<v Speaker 1>I was taking a break otherwise I get sick. And
<v Speaker 1>so I decided to close my eyes again and just
<v Speaker 1>lean back and hoping it would like help decide the migraine.
<v Speaker 1>So I said, well, I'm just going to close my
<v Speaker 1>eyes again. I'm going to try to just rest a
<v Speaker 1>little bit and maybe it'll help calm down the migraine.
<v Speaker 1>And then as soon as I closed my eyes, I
<v Speaker 1>leaned my head back against the chair. The three women's
<v Speaker 1>faces were like inches from my face. It was the
<v Speaker 1>one woman on the left and the right looking down
<v Speaker 1>just straight at me. The third one again looked like
<v Speaker 1>she would have been on my lap, and they were
<v Speaker 1>just staring at me. And I just opened my eyes
<v Speaker 1>really really quick because it was really real, really vivid,
<v Speaker 1>but I couldn't focus in on their face. I just
<v Speaker 1>knew that their hair was done up, and it was
<v Speaker 1>just really weird that those three women were looking down
<v Speaker 1>at me. Maybe about a year later or two, we
<v Speaker 1>moved into a bigger office across on the other side
<v Speaker 1>of the floor we were on, and it was really
<v Speaker 1>nice and I never saw anything there at night. After
<v Speaker 1>a year or so, my management decided that we should
<v Speaker 1>work from home. The problem was majority of the staff
<v Speaker 1>was able to work from home, but me and a
<v Speaker 1>few other people were not, So they moved across town
<v Speaker 1>to a building that actually had smaller offices than what
<v Speaker 1>we had before. We were downtown Oakland by Lake Merritt,
<v Speaker 1>and then they moved more towards the downtown area closer
<v Speaker 1>to jack London. With this building, I did like it
<v Speaker 1>a lot more because they had a lot of security,
<v Speaker 1>so you always had security at the bottom of the building,
<v Speaker 1>and then you always had a key fob to get
<v Speaker 1>into the building, keyfob to get into the elevator and
<v Speaker 1>go to only your floor. There was two walls of
<v Speaker 1>the office that were just pure glass, and during the
<v Speaker 1>day it looked like it would have been a beautiful
<v Speaker 1>sight to see, like the downtown area, you could see
<v Speaker 1>the bay. But at night, because it's dark outside and
<v Speaker 1>light in the office, it actually turns the giant windows
<v Speaker 1>into actually mirrors, and I was very uncomfortable with that.
<v Speaker 1>And they had a series of Venetian blinds going across
<v Speaker 1>both of the walls, and so my co workers always
<v Speaker 1>had the Venetian blinds up, so I always had to
<v Speaker 1>go and take them and release them down and close
<v Speaker 1>them because I felt really uncomfortable working in the middle
<v Speaker 1>of the night and then looking up and seeing just
<v Speaker 1>a wall of mirrors looking at myself, and I always
<v Speaker 1>felt like something would be looking back at me if
<v Speaker 1>I look up during the night. So where the two
<v Speaker 1>windows met at the corner of the office, there's this
<v Speaker 1>support beam for the building itself, and it was weird
<v Speaker 1>because it took up a lot of the corner. And
<v Speaker 1>so I was just next to this big support beam
<v Speaker 1>and then the glass windows went around it, and then
<v Speaker 1>the glass windows. They were probably about six inches gap
<v Speaker 1>between the support beam and the glass window. And for
<v Speaker 1>some reason I just did not like that area, which
<v Speaker 1>was weird. I just felt uncomfortable with it. One night,
<v Speaker 1>I got another migraine. I'm just prone to those, and
<v Speaker 1>so I took some tail and all good thing about
<v Speaker 1>this office was they had two sets of lights that
<v Speaker 1>you could turn on, so I can turn off one,
<v Speaker 1>and I still had for the room lit up. I
<v Speaker 1>turned off half of the lights, put all my timers
<v Speaker 1>so I can take my break, took some tailand awe,
<v Speaker 1>and then just leaned back in the chair, had my
<v Speaker 1>head resting on the back of the chair, and then
<v Speaker 1>I had put my feet up and I closed my
<v Speaker 1>eyes and I actually kind of fell asleep. Then I
<v Speaker 1>woke up. Suddenly I'm just looking straight up at the
<v Speaker 1>ceiling and I see dark smoke above me. Not like
<v Speaker 1>if you were smoking cigarettes, it would be clear. It
<v Speaker 1>was really dark. It was black with a whole bunch
<v Speaker 1>of shades of gray in it, and it was floating
<v Speaker 1>up from my face up to the ceiling. And because
<v Speaker 1>the smoke was so dark, I thought it was you know,
<v Speaker 1>it looked like maybe you were burning like plastics or
<v Speaker 1>chemicals or something. Because the smoke was so dark, I
<v Speaker 1>looked around the office and nothing was on fire. It
<v Speaker 1>couldn't smell anything. And I just stared at it. I
<v Speaker 1>just looked around the room, put my head back, and
<v Speaker 1>I was just looking at it. And it was really
<v Speaker 1>weird because as it got higher in the air towards
<v Speaker 1>the cilling, it didn't dissipate. Usually smoke goes upward, it's
<v Speaker 1>thicker when it comes out, and then it kind of dissipates.
<v Speaker 1>And then with this, it just went up and it
<v Speaker 1>just stayed this shape. It looked like a like it
<v Speaker 1>was four foot long, maybe a half a foot to
<v Speaker 1>a foot wide, and it was moving like a solid
<v Speaker 1>like it was an enity, a solid snake or something.
<v Speaker 1>And when it moved, it kind of curved back and
<v Speaker 1>forth like a snake. But it was really choppy. It
<v Speaker 1>was really weird. It was creeping along in the air,
<v Speaker 1>and then I noticed after a while, it wasn't going
<v Speaker 1>straight to the celling. It was going off to the left.
<v Speaker 1>As it was going to the left, it was heading
<v Speaker 1>to the ceiling right in between where the glass windows
<v Speaker 1>met the beam, And so I just watched it. It
<v Speaker 1>must have lasted like thirty seconds. It was just really
<v Speaker 1>slow and jerky, and it just was moving like a
<v Speaker 1>snake through the air, and it was just going off
<v Speaker 1>to the left, and then the front part of it
<v Speaker 1>touched the ciling in between the part where the glass
<v Speaker 1>and the support beam was and it just slowly wiggled
<v Speaker 1>into it and disappeared. I don't know what I went
<v Speaker 1>on with that. I know at that time when we
<v Speaker 1>were in that office, a lot of the employees were
<v Speaker 1>They seemed matter for some reason, and they got upset
<v Speaker 1>very easily. I know we worked with the public, but
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was strange. It just people had
<v Speaker 1>a different They seemed upset. At that time. I took
<v Speaker 1>another nap when I had a migraine and I couldn't
<v Speaker 1>wake up, but I heard someone come open the door
<v Speaker 1>and come into the office, walk around the room and
<v Speaker 1>leave the problem was when I finally woke up, I
<v Speaker 1>was asleep for maybe a couple of minutes. The door
<v Speaker 1>was left Ajar and I always locked the door. I
<v Speaker 1>have a key. Once people leave, I lock the door.
<v Speaker 1>When I go to the bathroom and I go get
<v Speaker 1>by munch, I lock the door. I'm just like that.
<v Speaker 1>And it was weird that something came into the office
<v Speaker 1>and walked around the room and then left. I don't
<v Speaker 1>remember everything that happened, but I remember it came into
<v Speaker 1>the room and then it left. Now it could have
<v Speaker 1>been a security guard, but normally the security guards don't
<v Speaker 1>come up during the night shift because they have just
<v Speaker 1>the person who actually works at the entrance level that's
<v Speaker 1>locked and they have one security guard there. They do
<v Speaker 1>have other security guards around the property, but they don't
<v Speaker 1>go through the floors like that. And you have to
<v Speaker 1>have a key fob per floor, whoever you where you
<v Speaker 1>work at, especially after the building closes, you have to
<v Speaker 1>have a key fob to get into the building and
<v Speaker 1>go directly to your floor. I'm not sure what happened
<v Speaker 1>there After about a year, we moved to a smaller
<v Speaker 1>office because more people were able to work from home.
<v Speaker 1>But I still wasn't. This office was actually behind the elevators.
<v Speaker 1>There's actually two hallways behind the elevators, and we were
<v Speaker 1>the second farthest. And it's so weird how you go
<v Speaker 1>into different parts of this floor. You just get the
<v Speaker 1>weirdest feelings just being there. With this office. It didn't
<v Speaker 1>have a nice view, but it did have a window
<v Speaker 1>that one of the desk words out, but it wasn't mine.
<v Speaker 1>My computer was placed right next to the entrance of
<v Speaker 1>the office. I didn't have any bad feelings about the
<v Speaker 1>office in general. It was just the hallway was really creepy.
<v Speaker 1>They had lights since their hallway, so you had to
<v Speaker 1>go in the hallway and really move to get the
<v Speaker 1>lights going because otherwise it was very dale in there. Also,
<v Speaker 1>the hallways were really long, and I really did not
<v Speaker 1>like to look down the hallways. Like if I left
<v Speaker 1>the office to go get my lunch or something, I
<v Speaker 1>don't look down the hallways. Another thing is the doors
<v Speaker 1>that the office doors were of solid wood, and then
<v Speaker 1>they had this really dense glass in the middle of
<v Speaker 1>it that went from the bottom to the top, and
<v Speaker 1>you could just see shadows if someone walked by, and
<v Speaker 1>I felt really uncomfortable with that because I was right
<v Speaker 1>next to it, and I felt like something could watch me.
<v Speaker 1>For some reason, the atmosphere. I never liked being out
<v Speaker 1>there after two thirty at night in that part of
<v Speaker 1>the floor. It was just really uncomfortable. So I always
<v Speaker 1>made sure I took my lunch by like one thirty
<v Speaker 1>at night, two of the latest, and then I would
<v Speaker 1>get back in the office and I wouldn't leave the
<v Speaker 1>office until I took another break, probably like five o'clock
<v Speaker 1>in the morning to use the bathroom. But it was
<v Speaker 1>just kind of a creepy hallway. One night, I had
<v Speaker 1>a series of just really really really long calls. I
<v Speaker 1>lost track of time, and it was already two thirty
<v Speaker 1>in the morning. I haven't taken my lunch yet, and
<v Speaker 1>I had to use the bathroom really bad. I would
<v Speaker 1>rushed out of the office, close the door. I always
<v Speaker 1>make sure it's locked. I look down the hallway when
<v Speaker 1>I step out of the door to the right or left,
<v Speaker 1>because the hallways are really long and I'm scared I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to see somebody, so I always look at the
<v Speaker 1>wall ahead of me. And so in between the offices
<v Speaker 1>there's always these huge like sixteen by twenty paintings in
<v Speaker 1>class frames, and so I would always count. I stick
<v Speaker 1>at the picture and then I would count three doors down,
<v Speaker 1>going down the hallway to the left, and then once
<v Speaker 1>you hit to the third office, that's where the two
<v Speaker 1>hallways merge into one. And so what you do is
<v Speaker 1>you make a sharp write and then a sharp left,
<v Speaker 1>and then you can get to the bathroom, and then
<v Speaker 1>you can go down another hallway and you'll be at
<v Speaker 1>the reception desk, and then you can go to the
<v Speaker 1>break room. And so that one night at two thirty,
<v Speaker 1>I go down the hallway, go down three office doors,
<v Speaker 1>I make a sharp right, and then I just stop
<v Speaker 1>in my tracks. There is these huge, huge black circles.
<v Speaker 1>There was about five of them placed in between where
<v Speaker 1>I had to make a sharp left to the bathroom hallway.
<v Speaker 1>In between that hallway and that second hallway that I
<v Speaker 1>turned around to, it was like these huge black circles.
<v Speaker 1>Like if you were out and it was at the
<v Speaker 1>heat of the day in the afternoon, the sun is
<v Speaker 1>coming down and it's directly over your head and comes
<v Speaker 1>down and you would have this black, you know, really
<v Speaker 1>dark circle around your feet. And that's what I saw.
<v Speaker 1>I sound five big black circles. It looks like if
<v Speaker 1>an adult was standing in the peak time of sun
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon. It was just these huge blast circles.
<v Speaker 1>They had to be three maybe three feet or more
<v Speaker 1>in diameter, and they were just spaced out like there
<v Speaker 1>was like five people standing there, and the atmosphere was
<v Speaker 1>really really heavy, very heavy. The problem with the black
<v Speaker 1>circles is the carpeting that they had in the hallway
<v Speaker 1>was actually light brown and gray, so there was no
<v Speaker 1>black in the pattern of the squares that made the carpet,
<v Speaker 1>and so in my head, I just say, Okay, someone
<v Speaker 1>spilled something. I'm going to go past this. I'm going
<v Speaker 1>to go to the bathroom because I really have to go,
<v Speaker 1>and I're goen to come out and it's going to
<v Speaker 1>be gone. So instead of to get by, I actually
<v Speaker 1>just tried not to step in the circles because I
<v Speaker 1>felt I shouldn't do that. I felt very uncomfortable because
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know why they were there. So I
<v Speaker 1>found little spaces in between, and I walked in between
<v Speaker 1>the circles, ran over to the bathroom, and then when
<v Speaker 1>I came out of the bathroom, the circles were still there,
<v Speaker 1>and Okay, I said, I'm going to go down this
<v Speaker 1>other opposite hallway. I'm going to get my lunch and
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna come back, and the circles were going to
<v Speaker 1>be gone. So I get my lunch fix. Everything takes
<v Speaker 1>probably like five or ten minutes. Come back. The circles
<v Speaker 1>are still there. So I tell myself, well, yeah, well
<v Speaker 1>someone must have had like a pull ladder and I
<v Speaker 1>spilled everything on the floor. Yeah, that's probably what happened.
<v Speaker 1>And so I just walk in between the circles, rushed
<v Speaker 1>back to my office and lock the door. I don't
<v Speaker 1>want to come out of the office, but I have to.
<v Speaker 1>And I stayed in there until about five in the morning,
<v Speaker 1>and then I had to force myself to come out
<v Speaker 1>because I really didn't want to come out because of
<v Speaker 1>those circles being there. It was just and the atmosphere
<v Speaker 1>and everything was just so thick. It was really creepy,
<v Speaker 1>and so I as soon as I walk out of
<v Speaker 1>the office, I locked my door and I walk off
<v Speaker 1>to the left. The airfell is really really, really really light.
<v Speaker 1>After that point, it just felt like you were like
<v Speaker 1>a balloon and you were floating like that heaviness was
<v Speaker 1>completely gone, and it was just weird. It was just
<v Speaker 1>like because that heaviness was there before. It was just
<v Speaker 1>this huge distinction of coming out of the office into
<v Speaker 1>that hallway and then turning into that little area where
<v Speaker 1>you go down three offices and then you make a right,
<v Speaker 1>and the circles were just gone. It was just it
<v Speaker 1>was crazy. It was just like they were all five
<v Speaker 1>of those giant circles, all pitch black, were just gone.
<v Speaker 1>And the atmosphere was just like I felt like I
<v Speaker 1>could just float. It was just so nice. Then there
<v Speaker 1>was a third office we moved into that was a
<v Speaker 1>little bit smaller, the third office. It was on the
<v Speaker 1>hallway actually from the kitchen, I could just go straight
<v Speaker 1>when I got off the elevator, i'd be at the
<v Speaker 1>reception desk, and if you went to the left and
<v Speaker 1>behind a little break areas, there's a kitchen and another hallway.
<v Speaker 1>That office was nice. That office. I had no problems
<v Speaker 1>with the door. They put me near the door again.
<v Speaker 1>When I came out of the office, though, to the
<v Speaker 1>right was a start of a little five to ten
<v Speaker 1>foot hallway and then you would go left and then
<v Speaker 1>it would be another long, like thirty foot hallway, and
<v Speaker 1>there was just a couple of offices there, and I
<v Speaker 1>still have a issue where I don't look down hallways.
<v Speaker 1>I just don't. I don't want to see whatever I
<v Speaker 1>might see. One night, I always always take my lunch
<v Speaker 1>at one thirty. So one thirty, I go to the door.
<v Speaker 1>I step out of the office, and to my left
<v Speaker 1>is a wall and it heads a painting in the
<v Speaker 1>glass frame, and to my right there's the base of
<v Speaker 1>the hallway started the hallway. Usually, I locked the door
<v Speaker 1>and I turned towards the wall. And as I locked
<v Speaker 1>the door and start turning towards the wall, I feel
<v Speaker 1>someone staring at me, really intensely staring at me, like
<v Speaker 1>they're just like in the beginning hallway of next to me.
<v Speaker 1>And so instead of looking in that direction, I look
<v Speaker 1>in the glass frame of a painting and I see
<v Speaker 1>a gray figure, probably about five foot two five foot three.
<v Speaker 1>She had shoulder length hair. That's all I can The
<v Speaker 1>only detail I had was she was extremely extremely wet.
<v Speaker 1>Her hair was down to her shoulders and there was
<v Speaker 1>just she was just dripping with water. I got the
<v Speaker 1>fill of that, but all I saw was a gray person,
<v Speaker 1>but I could feel that she was just soaking wet
<v Speaker 1>like she just came out of the bay, came out
<v Speaker 1>of the water, and she was just standing there. I
<v Speaker 1>know it was a she, and I just kept looking
<v Speaker 1>at the reflection because there was a little reflection in
<v Speaker 1>the glass that I was looking at, and I had
<v Speaker 1>my back tour and I had just locked the door,
<v Speaker 1>and I was looking into that picture frame. I blinked.
<v Speaker 1>She was still there, and it must have been about
<v Speaker 1>thirty seconds, and then she was just calm. And the
<v Speaker 1>funny thing was with this incident, I never felt really
<v Speaker 1>scared like the other times. The other times they were
<v Speaker 1>just really creepy, but this time I felt like she
<v Speaker 1>was just there wondering why I was there, because I
<v Speaker 1>was the only person that worked the night shift on
<v Speaker 1>that entire floor maybe the building, besides the security people.
<v Speaker 1>So I felt like she came by to see who
<v Speaker 1>I was, what I was doing, and then she just left,
<v Speaker 1>and then I just went fixed my blunch, went to
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom, and went back to the office. That was
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I had that happened to me in
<v Speaker 1>that building before I started working from home. It was interesting.
<v Speaker 1>It's so strange to see just being in different sides
<v Speaker 1>of a floor or hallways and the different things that
<v Speaker 1>you you could see, and it could be like really
<v Speaker 1>pleasant in one area and then just really creepy the
<v Speaker 1>next area. I don't know. It's an old Oakland's a
<v Speaker 1>really old city. You got a lot of different things
<v Speaker 1>that happened throughout the dred couple hundred years, and then
<v Speaker 1>plus you have the nineteen oh six earthquake where they
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of fires and people died. It may
<v Speaker 1>not exp all the stuff that was happening, but it's
<v Speaker 1>a rich city and it had a lot of people
<v Speaker 1>that lived there and died. So I can't say what
<v Speaker 1>specifically was from, but I would assume there would be
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ghosts there.
<v Speaker 3>What did you think of these stories? Imagine working in
<v Speaker 3>the night shift, and I'm always amazed by you guys
<v Speaker 3>who can work in the night shift and listen to
<v Speaker 3>true scary stories at the same time.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you do it.
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, Sonia Jose and several dms have come in asking
<v Speaker 3>about the Spanish version of this show of true scary story.
<v Speaker 3>That podcast is called de roor Historias Trealis, which is
<v Speaker 3>true Stories of Terror.
<v Speaker 2>I guess, and the show is still active.
<v Speaker 3>I know the questions were coming in about that, but
<v Speaker 3>we're still waiting on more stories. So what I do
<v Speaker 3>is I wait for a couple of stories to come in,
<v Speaker 3>then I edit them and publish them. But we haven't
<v Speaker 3>received a lot, and I feel like people get scared
<v Speaker 3>right when and they're supposed to call, like as in
<v Speaker 3>we schedule a phone call, we get ghosted, you know,
<v Speaker 3>right at that point. But I need your help here.
<v Speaker 3>If you know someone who has a story to share,
<v Speaker 3>have them email me. We're gonna find another way to
<v Speaker 3>share it in case they don't want a phone call,
<v Speaker 3>because you just want to send a voicemail.
<v Speaker 2>We can try that.
<v Speaker 3>Even those voice notes through whatsapped, we can't even try that, Like,
<v Speaker 3>we just need to get more stories in. And I
<v Speaker 3>feel like it might be a little intimidating to actually
<v Speaker 3>set up a time call and then you know, have
<v Speaker 3>that story set out, Like I think it's that, or
<v Speaker 3>it might be the permission slip, you know, the permission
<v Speaker 3>form that says, hey, yeah, you're allowed to use my
<v Speaker 3>voice and the recording and everything.
<v Speaker 2>But it does scare some people up.
<v Speaker 3>But you can also reach out to me, like in
<v Speaker 3>my Instagram account is edwind Cove e d w I nCoV.
<v Speaker 2>You can DM me there.
<v Speaker 3>It lands on the other inbox in case we're not
<v Speaker 3>following each other, but I get to them. I review
<v Speaker 3>that you know that other inbox every once in a while,
<v Speaker 3>and I will be keeping an eye out for these
<v Speaker 3>kinds of stories. Remember, we're looking for personal paranormal stories
<v Speaker 3>in Spanish, but also we're all.
<v Speaker 2>Taking stories for this show True Scary Story.
<v Speaker 3>You can go to true scarystory dot com, fill out
<v Speaker 3>the form, and you know if you think your story
<v Speaker 3>is too short, that is okay, that's perfect.
<v Speaker 2>We're actually coming up with a way.
<v Speaker 3>To put them together into kind of a compilation style episode.
<v Speaker 2>So all you have to do is send it in
<v Speaker 2>and we'll find a way to publish it.
<v Speaker 3>We did get a couple of reviews on Apple Podcasts.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for these. We have one from
<v Speaker 3>let Me See It comes from Shasta five five five seven.
<v Speaker 3>Recently found this podcast and I love it so far.
<v Speaker 3>Just listen to the Smiling Man episode. Wow, I was enthralled.
<v Speaker 3>Keep them coming. Thank you so much for this Shasta.
<v Speaker 3>Turns out that story The Smiling Man from the Woods
<v Speaker 3>is still our top episode of last year and kind
<v Speaker 3>of it's approaching of all time. It might be already
<v Speaker 3>the most downloaded episode of all time that we have.
<v Speaker 2>The Smiling Man from the Woods really eerie.
<v Speaker 3>I've listened to it multiple times and I always always
<v Speaker 3>listen to I always think I'm just gonna listen to
<v Speaker 3>the first part, but no end up listening all the
<v Speaker 3>way through. It's really long, but it's a cool, cool episode.
<v Speaker 3>Another one for Mirage Finn says good Scary Stuff. Says
<v Speaker 3>good scary stories, good stuff, short and simple.
<v Speaker 2>Love it.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for that review. We have another one.
<v Speaker 3>This one's from Lorimer Black says the best. Not only
<v Speaker 3>is this the best true paranormal story podcast, I would
<v Speaker 3>argue that it's the only good one. No obnoxious host,
<v Speaker 3>thank you, no rambling incoherent stories, no one trying desperately
<v Speaker 3>to get their fifteen minutes of podcast fame, nothing too
<v Speaker 3>over the top, just very believable stories told in play
<v Speaker 3>language by average people. Love it and I appreciate that. Lourmer,
<v Speaker 3>thank you so much for this review. If you want
<v Speaker 3>to leave me a review on Apple podcast, i'd be
<v Speaker 3>I always get super excited when I get them and
<v Speaker 3>I go through them, so thank you so much for this,
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, actually, in that last review, this is exactly
<v Speaker 3>the point of true scary story.
<v Speaker 2>We share stories of people like regular people like.
<v Speaker 3>You and me, who just want to share their experiences
<v Speaker 3>and then have the rest of us hear them out.
<v Speaker 3>It's actually one of the main reasons why we get
<v Speaker 3>more stories is when people hear something that they can
<v Speaker 3>relate to, they say, hey, I can tell my story too,
<v Speaker 3>And that's the whole point of this. We don't try
<v Speaker 3>to like overdo it, we don't try to make things
<v Speaker 3>up or like you know, any of that stuff. We
<v Speaker 3>just get the stories as they happen, as they experienced it.
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole point of this. So I appreciate that
<v Speaker 2>it's coming through that way. So really cool.
<v Speaker 3>This episode was edited and sound designed the Sarah Vorhez
<v Speaker 3>Wendel a VW sound with additional production by Bianca Chavez,
<v Speaker 3>Sofia Petes, and Edwin Korujes.
<v Speaker 2>Here's True. If you're subscribed, I'll be back next week.
