00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.080
This is actually kind of exciting because
it's one of two stories by the same
2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.839
user that I got for this.
So later on here another one I'm kind
3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.920
of excited about too, And so
it starts off. I work at County
4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.839
Jail. One night, I was
working in the maximum security unit on the
5
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.879
night shift. It was pretty born
with nothing really to do except the checks,
6
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.960
where I go around and look at
each cell every thirty minutes or so
7
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.600
to make sure everything was okay the
inmates weren't doing anything that weren't supposed to.
8
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.200
It's been about fifteen minutes or so
since my last check. I was
9
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.600
sitting in the control room reading a
book to pass the time. Control room
10
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:50.200
sits higher than four level. It
looks out over the cell bok. If
11
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.679
a person of average height were to
walk right by you, you'd only see
12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.560
the top of their head. As
I'm reading my book, I see out
13
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.079
of my peripheral top of a bald
head walked past the window. I knew
14
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.400
that nobody else was in the area, as another officer would have to go
15
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:14.560
through two sets of remote controlled doors
or no way past my control room.
16
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.239
I looked up and into the cell
block. I didn't see anyone I didn't.
17
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.760
Looked at the camera monitors, which
showed every ankle of the cell block.
18
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.879
Still nothing. I put my book
down exit of the control room,
19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.400
making sure to lock the door behind
me in case an inmate got out of
20
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.719
their cell. They couldn't lock me
out of the control room. It's uncommon,
21
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.359
but it is possible. I walked
into the cell block, shining my
22
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.719
flashlight in some of the more dimly
little areas. Took notice that I did
23
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.359
not hear cell door close, So
if an inmate did get out of the
24
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.000
cell, they either had to close
their cell door incredibly quietly or they were
25
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:56.719
hiding somewhere. I radioed for another
officer to respond to my locationist back up.
26
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.640
I began to conduct a check,
make sure that the count the inmates
27
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.159
in each cell, and pull on
the door make sure it was locked.
28
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.640
When I reached the upper tier,
one of the inmates was standing at the
29
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.719
cell window and asked what time it
was. I told him he knows I
30
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.800
was early on my check. He
knows that I have been checking the doors.
31
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.800
These guys have nothing to do but
to watch you do this. So
32
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.719
the inmate asked if I saw the
bald headed guy, he must have seen
33
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.479
the expression on my face, because
he said he was seen by somebody at
34
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.319
least once a night, usually passing
quickly by the cell windows, so they
35
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.919
always knew it was him because there
was no bald officers on the night shift.
36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.639
I went back to the control room
and locked it behind me. I
37
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.319
asked the officer responded as my back
up about the bald headed guy. He
38
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.240
was a very senior officer and said
that he had never personally seen him,
39
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.759
but it wasn't uncommon for people to
report it. I never saw the bald
40
00:02:54.759 --> 00:03:00.000
headed guy again. Eventually I was
promoted, and every once in a while
41
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.360
an officer or inmate, well ask
me about him. Prisons are scary,
42
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.319
man, Yeah, it's scary without
ghosts. They're scary without ghosts and other
43
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.120
paranormal things. You throw that in. It's just terrifying. Yeah, there's
44
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:19.159
something about like certain places you just
immediately have something scary about it. Yeah,
45
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.280
hospitals for me, and uh,
prison nurseries. Everything to do.
46
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.879
But wait, that's true. Going
back to the story, and obviously I'm
47
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.120
multitasking of people on social media,
but you got to assume that it's a
48
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.520
it's an inmate at first, right, like he said he did. Yeah,
49
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.719
and that would be a terrifying thing
because he's in the maximum security unit.
50
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.400
Yeah, these are dangerous people and
you wouldn't want to deal with that
51
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.759
on the night's shift or something.
So that alone is scary. Well,
52
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.080
it does. It does make you
think that it's possible that it was an
53
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.639
inmate, because the inmate was the
one that was saying, hey, did
54
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.680
you see that? You know,
did you see the ballheaded man? You
55
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.080
know? It does make it seem
like they're setting up something or I don't
56
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.400
know, you know, either way, it would be a bit too much.
57
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.639
I think the inmates mess up with
him or see. I don't know,
58
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.240
because the other officer said that they
had heard about this before and we
59
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.519
find out later it's an inimate escape
from a maximum security Yeah, I wouldn't
60
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:19.199
have known the bald thing obviously.
I mean, he interested scary story.
61
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.360
So what made you like you said, this is the story I want to
62
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.800
share today, like there had to
be something that drugs Well, it was
63
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.680
mostly the prison thing I saw.
I read this story and then I found
64
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.600
out he had another one, and
I was like two ghost stories from a
65
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.040
prison from the same guy. I
wanted to do him both because I thought
66
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.480
this is great prison. Like you
said, the prisons in general just terrifying.
67
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.079
And so I don't know something odd. It's not like a jump scare
68
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:53.120
kind of monster story. It's just
like something slightly off about already a tense
69
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.600
situation that makes the whole hent just
feel creepy and kind of terrifying to me.
70
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.360
I don't know where he was located
at it all here. I'm sure
71
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.040
he just kept anonymous. He did
keep the anonymous. He didn't listen to
72
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.920
anyone's names, just in case.
You know, you don't certain people,
73
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.920
you don't have people's information getting out, So he didn't say where he was
74
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.959
from. Sure caught out us bald
people going bald, They didn't. He
75
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.319
man, My forehead goes all the
way back, all the way back,
76
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.959
just keeps going back. Well,
delicious orange juice, you got there.
77
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.759
Yeah, it's orange juice. Just
yeah, just for the AI out there
78
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.720
on social media trying to get me
for doing something all alive, it is
79
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:40.800
orange juice. So everybody knows that's
the truth. Jeff Townsend media sees you
80
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.839
good night, and the question is
do I stay here? Will you be
81
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.000
back? Are you gonna come back, will you be back, Are you
82
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:50.800
coming back,
1
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.080
This is actually kind of exciting because
it's one of two stories by the same
2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.839

So later on here another one I'm kind

17
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.760

18
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.879
Still nothing. I put my book
down exit of the control room,
19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.400

kind of monster story. It's just
like something slightly off about already a tense
69
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.600
situation that makes the whole hent just
feel creepy and kind of terrifying to me.
70
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.360
I don't know where he was located
at it all here. I'm sure
71
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.040
he just kept anonymous. He did
keep the anonymous. He didn't listen to
72
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.920
anyone's names, just in case.
You know, you don't certain people,
73
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.920
you don't have people's information getting out, So he didn't say where he was
74
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.959
from. Sure caught out us bald
people going bald, They didn't. He
75
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.319
man, My forehead goes all the
way back, all the way back,
76
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.959
just keeps going back. Well,
delicious orange juice, you got there.
77
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.759
Yeah, it's orange juice. Just
yeah, just for the AI out there
78
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.720
on social media trying to get me
for doing something all alive, it is
79
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:40.800
orange juice. So everybody knows that's
the truth. Jeff Townsend media sees you
80
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.839
good night, and the question is
do I stay here? Will you be
81
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.000
back? Are you gonna come back, will you be back, Are you
82
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:50.800
coming back,
