A guy with long hair, wearing pajamas, and no socks or shoes.
He was tip toeing in a very exaggerated way, pulling his knees up very high, and grinning.
It sounds kind of funny but it was creepy as hell.

When in actuality I was saving them from that which you cannot unsee.
He was even at my high school graduation, he and his wifes numbers still in my phone.
Cold case potentially solved via DNA & modern science.

Staring man
I work nightshift at a rehab facility.
We have a protected gate with a camera looking down from above and one of those doorbell cameras.
In the office, the camera monitor is on one wall and the doorbell monitor is on another.
And he kept staring.
But the way he was staring was off putting.
I was pretty sure he was zonked on synthetics.
I used the intercom to see if he was okay but he just kept staring directly at the camera.
No sense in engaging needlessly with somebody potentially hostile or fucking with the locals.
Yall, he stood there and stared at that camera for two hours.
That same dead-eyed expression staring right at me.
I did a round and came back to find him gone, which only creeped me out more.

A hand
Used to work nights at a Home Depot.
There was one time where for a week or so our store stayed open 24 hours.
She was oddly specific about which roll holder to get, too.
But the real story lies within the insulation.
The dude was in bad shape, too.
Like, far-gone into whatever inebriation that we had to call the police to remove him.
It was about midnight when she got a call at the front desk from a man.
She gave him some basic fashion advice.
He asked my manager What about fishnet leggings?
Do you think those are too sexy?
However the room he was reportedly in was empty.
The man ends up hanging the phone up before she could find out where he was truly calling from.
A couple months later at around 11pm my manager answers the desk phone.
She asked him let me guess you want to know if she should wear fishnet leggings?
The man immediately hangs up the phone.
It was already creepy, the home was an old hospital that was converted.
Some asshole kept walking around the courtyard after dark dressed as the grim reaper knocking on doors.
Except one night when the roo shooters came through.
They spooked the kangaroos in the paddock, and one of them jumped head-first through our office window.
So theres me barefoot and half asleep, when this 6 tall kangaroo smashes through the glass window.
Blood and glass everywhere.
My dog starts chasing the kangaroo, Im chasing my dog.
And the kangaroo bounds around the office, knocking shit off desks in the dark, bleeding everywhere.
I ran and opened the studio bay doors, and my dog chased it outside.
Where, Im assuming, the poor thing (the kangaroo) was shot.
Then I had to call my boss.

Do you know where the morgue is?
Was an orderly in a hospital.
Two of us were sitting in the basement office adjacent to the morgue.
We escorted him up To security.
Apparently he had tried it in the past, as security knew him.

Lots of crazy people
Was running the register at 24 hr supermarket.
Stock person comes running into produce carrying mop handle screaming you mother fucker.
Out of sight, he keeps yelling fucker!
and smacking handle at something, for like 5 min.
Later I find out he was chasing a rat.
The job itself was very boring, but the commute was wild.
The world is at its weirdest in the very early morning.
One day I was nearly to work when I noticed something off ahead of me.
They silently waved me down a side street.
Just a creepy, unsettling experience.

Morgue trips
Did hospital security for about two months.
Granted, pretty tame compared to some stories, but at the time it gave us a decent fright.

Night terrors
I worked in a residential treatment center for teen girls.
She was begging me to help her because hes torturing me!
I sat her down and pulled her bracelets and watch off.
She went completely limp then got up and went back to bed.
I screamed and threw my flashlight at him.
It was a smiley face balloon.
I pulled off as the truck blew past my car rocking it.
Thing was there was twisty turns ahead.
Couldnt find the truck.
Luckily I always lock my truck doors.

Chance encounter
More of a very weird event.
Sometimes work night shifts.
One time was going home around 4am or so.
It was pitch dark outside and very quiet.

Domestic violence
Worked as an evening manager at a major Hilton property.
Got a complaint from a bunch of guests about the noise coming from one of the rooms.
She was covered in blood.

People of Walmart
Used to work night shift at a 24 hour Walmart.
Customers are nuts enough in the daytime, but they become WEIRD after midnight.
Once had an elderly guy come in wearing only a jean jacket and fishnet stockings.
They need to keep those even after the pandemic ends.
It was late, pitch black dark outside and very quiet in the building.
Then it went by again and I actually saw what it was.
A guy with long hair, wearing pajamas, and no socks or shoes.
He was tip toeing in a very exaggerated way, pulling his knees up very high, and grinning.
It sounds kind of funny but it was creepy as hell.
He stood there staring at us for a full minute.
You could have heard a pin drop.
He threw his arms out to the sides dramatically and said, I am YOUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!
no one responded and he eventually walked out.
I guess he was hoping to get more of a reaction.
The door was promptly shut and locked behind him and security called.
They were not impressed.
I still get creeped out to this day if Im working in a theater at night though.

Security guards
Working late at my office/workshop one night.
I could never look him in the eye after that.

Animal bodies
Worked a parking garage at the airport.
Took my flashlight expecting something awful.
some guy left a broke down beater with a couple animal carcasses in the back to rot.
