1
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.839
Mine's next. I have another story
to share. It's another anonymous one.

2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:16.719
This is titled The work Shift that
Will Never be Forgotten. Here we go.

3
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.359
I've worked as a nurse and multiple
hospitals and facilities. Before the current

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.000
hospital I work at, I worked
at a geriatric hospital thirty minutes from my

5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.399
house. I had experience working with
older patients before, so this was nothing

6
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.200
new to me. I've been working
at this hospital for only a couple of

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.000
weeks, and you'll soon understand why. This was my second to last shift

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.600
at this hospital. I was working
graveyard shift, and I was running on

9
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.039
negative hours of sleep. I was
assigned to the Alzheimer's ward. The patients

10
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.520
in this ward absolutely adored me.
My presence as a young girl at her

11
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.359
twenties among the residents of this ward
who were otherwise left to float around in

12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.640
their own minds, I'm sure they
saw me as a breath of fresh air.

13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.520
Yeah, I could see that for
sure. A lot of all your

14
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.960
left to your own thoughts. That's
kind of crazy. Okay, we'll go

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.680
on here. I was dealing with
a number of patients that night, but

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.400
one was a little more restless than
the others. Her name was Lena,

17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.280
and this was my first night dealing
with Lena. She kept telling me anytime

18
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.200
i'd enter her room about the voices
she kept hearing and the man dressed in

19
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.280
black she kept seeing in the corner
of the room. The other lady in

20
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.079
her room requested her curtain to be
closed before my shift started so that Leanne

21
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.799
woul Leanna would leave her alone.
I assume it was like one of the

22
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.000
like you literally pull the curtain.
That's what divides the room. It's like

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.799
a shared room room, so closed
the curtain to leave her alone. Lena

24
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.719
was a sweet lady that smiled whenever
I was around her, but she didn't

25
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.400
say much and was very forgetful.
I started my shift around nine pm.

26
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.400
Most of the patients were asleep by
eleven PM, but Leanna, whenever she

27
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.040
called me into the room, she'd
be frightened of those alleged voices she was

28
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.760
hearing, and the man in the
black kept staring at her in the corner

29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.439
of the I'm not gonna lie.
It was starting to creep me out,

30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.199
big time, creeped me out,
But I did tell her, excuse me.

31
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.360
I do believe in my mind that
in her mind she had no doubt

32
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.280
what she was seeing was real.
I sympathized with her, and I imagine

33
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.879
them to be very scary. But
still I tried my best to calm her

34
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.680
down and get her to go to
sleep. I wanted her to turn off

35
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.039
the t I wanted to turn off
the TV to calm her down, but

36
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.199
couldn't because I wanted to be courteous
to the other patient in the room.

37
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.120
I held Leanna's hand and told her
it's okay to breathe and to relax.

38
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.280
I reminded her that she was not
alone and I was just one call away.

39
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.840
This seemed to do the trick.
The next time I came in the

40
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.319
room, she was asleep. When
the patients were asleep at night, it

41
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.280
goes by much slower, almost as
if time moves and reverse. An hour

42
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.520
or two later, I was in
the linen room stocking up my cart when

43
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.159
I heard something in the room.
It was a relatively small room and dead

44
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.520
quiet. I had the door closed
too, That's why hearing something another noise

45
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.520
in the small room was really weird. I turned and saw nothing, so

46
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.639
I resumed stalking my cart. Then
I felt what I can only describe to

47
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.199
be a hand on my shoulder.
I jumped and screamed, but there was

48
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.599
nothing on my shoulder. There was
none in the room, yet I knew

49
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.479
I felt something large basically grabbed my
shoulder, so I went out in the

50
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.280
hallway just for a second to take
a look around. I didn't see any

51
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:29.240
other nurses in sight. Everything was
just dark and completely silent, so I

52
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.439
resumed what I was doing. I
continued stalking the cart until it was full.

53
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.280
Then as I turned around with the
cart to face the door, I

54
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.360
fell onto the floor and started to
scream as my heart was immediately in my

55
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.479
throat because there was a man dressed
in black standing outside the door, looking

56
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.800
through the glass, smiling at me. My screams were loud enough to wake

57
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.199
up the entire ward. The man
suddenly disappeared out of sight through the glass

58
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.120
window and second slider. The door
opened and a fellow nurse came in to

59
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.360
help me off the floor. I
was hysterical. I asked her if she

60
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.919
saw the man dressed in black?
Response was what man? There was no

61
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.400
one else here. We checked all
the rooms in the ward and didn't see

62
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.840
anyone dressed in black. My screams
woke Leana up from whatever light sleep she

63
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.360
was in, and when I came
in to her to ask her what this

64
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.160
man in the black look like and
if he was smiling, she looked at

65
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.319
me and I noticed her eyebrows point
down and express an expression changed to look

66
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.720
as if she was more focused than
I had seen her that entire night.

67
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.279
She asked how I knew about the
man of the black. My heart's still

68
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.199
racing. I felt a skip a
beat as she said this. She started

69
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:40.560
the screaming, screaming, get me
out of here. He's calming, Get

70
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.000
me out of here. The other
nurses came in and tried to calm her

71
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.240
down. I was switched to a
different ward that night with someone else to

72
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.000
take care of, and I eventually
ended up going home early because I was

73
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.439
just too freaked out. I texted
the head nurse the next day that my

74
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.079
next shift would be my last,
hand, that the experience traumatized me and

75
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.040
I didn't want to be in that
building anyam. I've never been diagnosed with

76
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.839
anything, nor have I ever experienced
any hallucinations of any kind that I'm aware

77
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.360
of. I'm aware of the effects
of lack of sleep, but this was

78
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.040
completely on the next level. I
don't know if my mind started playing tricks

79
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.519
on me because what Leanna was telling
me all night, but the feeling of

80
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.800
the hand on my shoulder, the
image of the smiling man behind the glass

81
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.519
door matching the exact description the patient
was telling me all night. This is

82
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.439
one of those one cent of lifetime
unexplainable supernatural occurrences. At least I hope

83
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:36.079
it was one cent a lifetime.
Wow. Yeah, see now that that

84
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:43.800
keeps the the the the person like
in shadow or in black clothing and things

85
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.439
like that, that's something that I
can really resonate with as far as like

86
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:56.000
what you can see what you have
seen, Yeah, because it's it's just

87
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.000
like one of those experiences that if
you haven't seen it yet, it's hard

88
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.000
to describe it. The one you
have seen it, It's like you have

89
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.480
a really good view of what you're
looking at. This isn't like, oh,

90
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.399
you know, like a reflection or
something like that of yourself or something

91
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.600
like that. You could see it
and study it long enough to know exactly

92
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.439
what you're looking at. Yeah.
Thanks everybody listening to this live. I

93
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.240
guess some people popping up on YouTube. Hi MGF two five ninety nine.

94
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.759
Hi Wrestling soap opera on TikTok and
several people on Twitter that are commenting,

95
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.480
it's just really hard to see.
It's not like on my screen on Twitter,

96
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.240
so it's really hard to keep up
with. Yeah, we're sharing your

97
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.279
scary stories live that you've submitted.
Man, this is another one. So

98
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.360
the man in the black that the
black figure in the night. This seems

99
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.040
to be a common theme, the
darkness. So this woman and you always

100
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:56.040
hear like a lot of nursing home
stories. I said, nursing home,

101
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.839
but I guess this is a little
bit different. But it's at Alzheimer's patient

102
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:03.040
wing of fac It sounds like,
so I can only imagine there has to

103
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.879
be a certain level of fright to
like, you have to be a strong

104
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:12.480
person to be able to do that
job. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah,

105
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.480
So this story, you know,
there's a lot of emotions to feel there.

106
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.600
You know, our grandma has suffered
from Alzheimer's, and you know,

107
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.439
there's like a thing about that when
you hear these stories and you're like,

108
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.680
and you hear about these people you
know that have to take care of them,

109
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.199
and you know, you do appreciate
all the work they did and all

110
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:39.360
that this thing that this person saw. On the one hand, it's just

111
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.319
absolutely terrifying idea, the idea of
this possible. It's an entity, could

112
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:50.839
be something that is conjured from their
collective psychological disharmony because of their their illnesses.

113
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:59.240
But and if this was a person
doing this, if it was like

114
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:07.560
someone that was deliberately tormenting these people
with Alzheimer's icerely hope that they die horribly,

115
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.439
But I really that's messed up if
you think about it, Like if

116
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.560
someone was there torturing these these people, that's a that's a really messed up

117
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:22.519
thing. Someone or something, Yeah, something I can only imagine that one

118
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.160
of the most evil spirits on the
planet or one of the most evil people

119
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.080
on the planet. And it's a
terrible and very terrifying story just because of

120
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.799
that and this person to see it. I do believe they actually saw it.

121
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.279
By the way they wrote about this, this is like a thing that

122
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.200
actually happened. What's unpacket though a
little bit luke because this story we just

123
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.559
shared. If you're just joining us
live now. A nurse in a in

124
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.519
a Alzheimer's ward saw a patient all
night was talking about how they had seen

125
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.720
a man, a man in the
black in the corner of the room.

126
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.799
They could hear him. He was
staring at him. And as the nurse

127
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.360
is talking her cart in the linen
room, she feels something touch her,

128
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.759
doesn't see anything. A few minutes
later, looks out the door, and

129
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.399
as soon as she looks out the
door, there's a man in black staring

130
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:15.840
through the hole the glass and the
door back at her. But she did

131
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.960
say, though, what's what's let's
talk about this that she didn't have.

132
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.440
She was running on negative hours of
sleep, so I believe it was quoted.

133
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.360
So if you're running on negative hours
of sleep and you're constantly hearing this

134
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.799
patient tell you about the man in
the black, you think this plays into

135
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.320
it. It could, I mean
as possible, as she saw a reflection

136
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:41.039
of herself distorted. But they I
believe they said they heard the door,

137
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.799
didn't they was there? Did the
door get closed? Maybe I misheard that.

138
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.159
I'm not sure she was in a
room. She was in a closed

139
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.639
door room, Okay, Okay,
I was thinking movie that she heard the

140
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.519
door close and then saw them a
sound it looks like in the room,

141
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.279
Okay, in a small room with
the door closed. So the sound that's

142
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:05.879
how she heard it. Okay,
Yeah, so this is a definitely a

143
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.679
terrifying story. And I yeah,
like you said, though it could it

144
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.200
could be based off partially a lack
of sleep. But a lot of these

145
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:20.159
people they do go on regular long
shifts and they do deal with lack of

146
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.240
sleep often, and they don't report
seeing stuff like that, you know,

147
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.919
and they even mentioned that, you
know, they never see anything like that

148
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.799
before. But if you worked a
job like that at any length of time,

149
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.919
everyone knows their their schedules are just
messed up, so they're kind of

150
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.879
well, it's terrible to be used
to it. They kind of do get

151
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:46.799
used to that lack of sleep over
time. Yeah, I know, at

152
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:54.080
least enough to say that they don't
probably regularly see entities or something like that.

153
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.759
But at the same time, you
know, back to the point that

154
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.720
you know, this patient was saying
it over and over again that you know,

155
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.799
that may have had an effect on
their psyche and may have you know,

156
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:15.519
kind of affected what they were seeing. But like we've seen with these

157
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.639
stories a lot, it does seem
like that there is some kind of clear

158
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:24.440
connection I think with this man in
black type of figure that pops up now

159
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.320
and again in stories, So I
don't know. It could be some sort

160
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:35.120
of connection with with just that it's
something out there. It's interesting that everyone

161
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.360
has such similar stories though across the
world. You always see these shadow figure

162
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.840
things pop up and for people's stories, is that because that they are there

163
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.759
is something or is it a collective
hallucination brought on by talking about it.

164
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.840
I am leaning towards that it might
actually be a thing that exists that we

165
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:07.480
see or perceive in our and when
we can see it. Yeah, yeah,

166
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.399
mm hmmmmmm mm hmmmmmm.
