00:00Here is a creepy story that a user on Reddit posted about working nights in a haunted care home
00:06in the UK. They worked overnight shifts in a care home and started noticing strange things soon
00:12after they began. At first it was small and subtle footsteps behind them when they were alone
00:19or gentle taps and scratches on their head. These experiences began when they worked evening shifts
00:26but things got more intense when they switched to night shifts. On one night about a year ago
00:33while walking down a staircase they saw something unusual. To their right was a corridor ending in
00:41a dead end and at the doorway of a bathroom a figure appeared. This figure was glowing pale white
00:48almost without a face with messy straggly hair. Only the head and upper body were visible
00:55but even without a face it felt like the figure was watching them. When they looked away to call
01:01a co-worker the figure vanished. The spirit didn't seem threatening and they never saw it again.
01:08This was just the beginning of the strange spirits the night staff would encounter in the care home.
01:14As time went on the spirits in the care home became more active especially during the night shifts.
01:20One of the most talked about entities among the staff was known as the shadow man.
01:26This dark figure was often seen lurking behind people or hiding in corners. Although most staff
01:33only caught glimpses of him one particular co-worker regularly had close encounters.
01:39The storyteller themselves only saw the shadow man once in the front entrance and both they and the
01:46figure froze in place. One evening while cleaning the corridor near the living rooms. The storyteller
01:52and this co-worker were venting about things that had been bothering them. The spirits in the home
01:58seemed to dislike negativity. Suddenly all the living rooms began making loud noises simultaneously.
02:06The storyteller felt bold enough to tell the spirits to be quiet and when they stopped talking
02:10the noise lessened. But as soon as their conversation started again the noises picked up once more.
02:17The co-worker then mentioned the shadow man was standing right behind the storyteller
02:20though they didn't look to confirm it. Other strange incidents happened often. There was the time a voice
02:28shouted help me in an empty corridor filled with sleeping residents. On another occasion cutlery banged
02:36loudly in the kitchen after dark. Scaring the storyteller so much they refused to enter the
02:41kitchen at night. The staff also reported seeing people sitting in chairs just out of the corner of
02:47their eyes. But when they looked directly no one was there. Whistling sounds would come so close
02:53that it felt wrong. Forcing the staff to pretend they didn't hear it. The home was full of unsettling
03:00noises and eerie moments that kept the night workers on edge. One of the most frightening nights happened
03:07when the storyteller and a co-worker were assisting a resident together. Suddenly the storyteller began
03:14hearing loud banging noises that their co-worker couldn't hear. At first the co-worker dismissed it
03:22as an overactive imagination. But as the banging grew louder the storyteller suggested someone might be
03:29trying to break in. They both looked out the front window toward the main entrance but saw no one.
03:34Later as they passed the bathroom where the glowing faceless woman had been seen before
03:39the bathroom door suddenly started banging violently and shaking. Alarmed they ran down the corridor
03:47knowing the door alarms meant no resident could be inside. The source of the noise remained a mystery.
03:53On another night after completing hourly checks the two staff members heard a woman's voice repeatedly
04:00whispering help me along the corridor. They checked all the rooms but all the residents were asleep
04:06and the voice was unrecognizable. That night neither left the other's side.
04:13The storyteller eventually left the care home about three months ago but can return at any time.
04:19They remain haunted by their experiences. Especially the way the spirits seem to know their name
04:25and often targeted night staff. Even now the fear and mystery of that place linger strongly in their mind.
