Emergency Workers Share Their Most Chilling Paranormal Calls

Who you gonna call when things go bump in the night? Many would say Ghostbusters, but in reality, such calls are often handled by law enforcement, fire departments, and security patrols.

Sometimes, they themselves experience odd occurrences while on regular duty and are left to try and explain the inexplicable. Keep reading to hear about some strange experiences people have had while on duty.


1. Evil Lies Within

I was on patrol with my supervisor when we received a call for a potential break-in at an old abandoned building. This was the third shift from midnight to 8 AM. That's when the crazy stuff happens. Upon entering the building, we received the call for weapons drawn. As we made our way into the building, I heard my supervisor making some noise.

I turned around and saw her take out a lighter and light it. Then, I saw her bring it up to her face, stick it under her tongue, and say something. Confused, I continued forward. We eventually searched the whole building, and nobody was there.

We called it in and continued back on patrol. While on patrol the next night, we passed by the same abandoned building.

I remembered the lighter thing and asked her about it. Without saying a word, she whips the cruiser around and pulls into the parking lot of the abandoned building.

We walked around the building and found a door that was chained shut, but with enough room to slip through. She went right through and I followed her.

We continued into the same building we searched the night before. Eventually, we made it to a large auditorium and we sat down. She explained to me that she is Wiccan and that she had a bad feeling when entering the building the previous night.

Not the six sense feeling, but a different one she gets in the presence of something sinister, spiritually, so she needed to say a quick spell.

2. Pool Party Poltergeist

I worked security for a residential building. The site had a rooftop pool and management was strict about when it was supposed to be closed. On a chilly night, I was posted up in the rooftop stairwell when I heard a crescendo-ing fit of laughter that got to the point of gasping and choking. I thought it was kind of weird, but not a big deal—then the next noise I heard made my blood run cold.

Suddenly, the laughter turned to shrieking, and the source of the noise was moving around. I ran out and realized it was coming from the rooftop itself. The area was locked up and only accessible to outsiders by scaling a concrete wall.

The noise stopped. Then I saw some footprints on the roof that were not there before. They were barefoot prints with no heel print and dirtier than the surface of the roof itself. I went straight back inside and waited to clock out.

3. My New Place Was Alarming

I got called to persistent fire alarms being set off in a block that used to be a poor house in the 1800s. The alarms would go off three to four times a night at certain times of the year. When we arrived, the residents were all outside—what they told me sent shivers down my spine. All of them said they could hear a woman crying. No one wanted to go in, as they assumed that she was setting off the alarms and she might be crazy.

We went up, and sure enough, we could hear a woman crying. As we walked up, the crying got louder. We turned onto the landing and realized the sound was then below us. It was coming from the top step of the previous flight of stairs. I got spooked.

What made it worse was that I had just bought a flat on the ground floor and was moving in the following week.

4. Bedside Manner

There was a patient complaining and scared that something was under their bed. He was older and confused so we didn’t think much of it. I checked on him, responded to the multiple calls, and just tried to make him feel better. But then things got even stranger. The next day, a new patient went into that room. It was another older person, but not confused.

They too called to complain about something under their bed. We brushed it off again after checking in on him. The next night, a new patient in his 20s, and completely coherent, called crying that something kept running under his bed.

They checked and found nothing but the patient was in such distress and shaking, we moved him. It happened quite a few other times as well, but we never found anything.
