I worked in an old church as a admin aide that had been reconfigured to make senior living quarters. It was really lovely and unique, had been the site of many weddings in it's church days. And funerals. Many deaths of the seniors who lived there during their end days. But it had a bright sunny solarium full of flowers and trees, an art studio, workout room, etc. Lovely spot and I enjoyed it there. Then I unexpectedly had to work a few overnight shifts after the sudden death of our overnight person, who worked alone watching over the entire building, 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. We all took turns working this shift for several months until a new person was hired, and I hated it. I'm not an overnight person. And it is creepy at night. Several times throughout the night we were required to check all floors and the large underground garage. The first two floors had professional offices ( a long hallway with nothing but closed doors and a bathroom at the end of it, same floor the workout room was on). I hated this three times a night wander through the deadly quiet and empty floors and garage. I would start at the top floor, where residents took up the top four floors, and walk each floor, checking common rooms, solarium, studio, TV room, laundries, public restrooms (each floor had one, I don't know why) and such. A few times I did encounter 'interesting' moments with residents, but that's a different story. The lower floors were accessible ONLY by elevator at night (all outside entries locked for security), opening onto the empty hallway of doors and then admin floor, then empty garage. One night around 3 a.m. I go to the business floor, walk through making sure doors are locked, workout room is unoccupied, check the bathroom, laundry room and turn to walk back to the elevator. In the middle of the hallway, between me and the elevator (my only means of escape) a bright blue yoga ball has rolled out the closed door of the workout room, that I had just closed a moment before. I can see that door is now open and that ball is still rolling. We are talking less that two minutes prior I had stepped into this completely open room (no hidden spots) flipped the lights on, looked about, closed the door and locked it. I stood at one end of this empty hallway of closed doors (except now the workout room door is wide open) and I think I died. My heart is hammering, my brain is screaming, I want OUT and RIGHT NOW. And I hear the elevator start up, going up to a resident floor. I'm stuck and I'm dead. The ball is still moving slightly and I can't breathe or move, utterly terrified. There is a hidden exit, rarely used, that goes directly into a darkened stairwell to the garage, a just as terrifying prospect at 3 a.m. since it has no lights and goes to the spot I'm the most scared of at this hour. The ball keeps moving, the elevator is gone, and I decide I'm going into the dark stairwell and garage rather than meet whatever tossed that ball and opened the door. I move quietly two steps to the right, open the laundry door, watching the ball intensely, and step in. I'm really really trapped now, I pull out my cell phone and call 911, telling them there is someone on a closed and locked floor, I'm trapped and I'm going into the garage. They say "please stay on the line with us, we're sending someone. Can you stay where you are?" I'm not staying, I can barely breathe or speak. I open the door to the black stairwell and you can hear the wind coming up from the garage, it's pitch black with a slight glow (no lights but from the streetlights barely showing) and I step quietly and quickly into the stairwell. I hear laughter behind me and now I'm running full speed down the stairs, around the dumpster, past the work trucks and full tilt the entire city block length of the building to the other end. I reach the gate that closes access to the garage and hit the button to open the gate. "C'mon, c'mon!" I'm about to exit this terrifying garage where homeless occasionally gather to dig in dumpsters, urinate, etc and catapult myself into the middle of a downtown area in a city at 3 a.m. 911 is saying "Please don't go outside! Stay on the line, someone is coming!" No and no. I can smell cigarette smoke, I know there is someone also in the garage and that damn gate is going slow....slow...slow....the minute it clears about 15 inches I drop and roll under the gate. I stand up and hit my button to close the gate again and walk up to the front entrance of the building, trying to breathe. I hear a siren. I open the front door with my keys, and stand with my nose pressed against the glass, talking to 911 and waiting for help. Across the street a guy in a hoodie on a bicycle stops to watch me, having witnessed the drop and roll and dash to the door. He's a sign of life to me, even if a 3 a.m. dumpster creeper. He hollers: "You okay??" and I give a thumbs up and point to the phone, where 911 informs me help is a minute away. Officers arrive and I ask them to proceed quietly as to not alarm the residents, at least one is up (the elevator that was called when I was on the office floor). I tell them what is happening, sounding histrionic and paranoid as hell, but adamant. They don't want to go into the elevator and take my keys to open the floors from the outside. A K9 unit arrives. I'm left alone, still plastered against the front door, and now I have no keys. I'm trying to decide to call the boss. Then all hell breaks loose, the dog is barking, officers are yelling "On the ground!" and other commands. Another unit arrives and they run around the building. Three cop cars now. So, one of the offices had indeed had someone in it, the person leasing the office. She was having a bad time with her spouse, decided to go out drinking/drugging and picked up some random guy somewhere. Decides to use her office for a fling but fails to inform us she's on the premises WELL after business hours (3 a.m., remember?). So they are doing the deed when I come through to check security, and rattle their doorknob and freak them the fuck out. As I go down the hall they pop the door and sneak across the hall to the workout room (literally right across) and roll the yoga ball out, to see if I shoot it, not knowing if I have a gun or now (WTF? But, drunk logic). I step into laundry, call 911 and they laugh and go back to doing the deed. I assure 911 that the offices are all empty (they were supposed to tell us if they were there after hours for exactly this reason!) and so when officers checking the building find the outside door left unlocked (more drunk logic and dangerous as hell considering our location) and then unlock offices until they encounter two drunks doing dirty deeds somewhere they shouldn't be, they get doggie love and guns pointed at them to round out their wild night. I wait till end of shift to tell boss what happened. Residents had no idea so that was great. Tenant had her lease terminated immediately. There were more things that happened at that place, but that is the one where I think I died in that hallway with the yoga ball, seriously terrified. There was the creepy guy who would call in the middle of the night with "Are your toenails painted pink tonight, lovey?" and other odd/scary/weird stuff. The door that slammed for no known reasons at 2 a.m EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. The sounds of whispering that drive you crazy trying to figure out where they are coming from because weird acoustics. Hated, hated, hated the overnight shift and told them no more after about two months. I've never been more scared on a job.

In regards to the night shift worker with the nonverbal clients, I’ve worked in two houses like that before. At one of the houses, one of my clients kept waking up and laughing at night, I always assumed she was playing with one of her stuffed animals and popped over to her room, requesting she try and get a bit of sleep before her day program. She did and I went back to cleaning. I was in the laundry room, where I could see nearly all of the client’s rooms out the door. I saw something from the corner of my eye and looked over, thinking it was the same client up for the bathroom. It was not. It was a girl in a long nightgown, standing in the corner of the hall between two client’s rooms. I called the other third shifter and stayed in the living room for the rest of the night, folding laundry. I told my manager the next morning and she was like ‘yeah that’s weird.’ Another time I was working in the same house, logging temperature of the freezer in the pantry when I heard a loud and low growl behind me. I wouldn’t go in that room for weeks. At the same house, I was finished with my work on a different day, one of the clients had motion activated lights in his room and bathroom. They kept coming on. But he was asleep. I manually switched his bedroom light off, but the bathroom light kept turning on and the door kept starting to close. I finally got mad and walked over to it to turn off the light again and was like ‘I don’t bother you, quit bothering me and my guys.’ There was a huff that blew my hair and everything stopped. I stopped working nights there.

There's a guy in my neighbourhood who likes to walk around after dark and stand in the bushes, watching people walk past. No one knows why, but everyone knows about him and as far as we know, he's never done anything to anyone. He just stands there and stares.

Maybe it’s his version of neighborhood watch. Only those in the neighborhood are aware of him so if anyone strange comes to rob or hurt people at night then he would be a surprise for them

I was manager at a movie theater for several years. Being the last one out at after close is creepy. Walking through pitch black auditoriums with just a flash light is creepy as hell. I always kept thinking I'd shine the light onto some apparition just standing silently in the empty theater. Creeps me out just thinking about it.

The nature of my business (under normal circumstances) calls for occasional all-nighters in the office. Having worked in a number of high-rises over the years, the buildings themselves make all sorts of unsettling creaks, groans, clunks, pops and snaps as they sway in the wind. Even surrounded by other buildings in the heart of big cities, it can be a little creepy to be the only one on the floor when night time lighting programs kick in and to go out of the building in the small hours and have the streets be almost totally deserted.

[@tahakumonsonoa6026]

Not overly creepy, but was a little upsetting in the moment. Was security assigned to an apartment building partially devastated by fire. Some apartments remained intact, and still had property in them, but no power/water, etc, had been evacuated, so, security to watch over the place. Was sitting on a big rock outside , night shift, starting to eat my lunch, when I turned to see a bobcat. Not the biggest wild cat in nature, but, for an unarmed and unaware security guard, it was enough to make me sprint a few steps away. Bastard cat scarfed my tuna sammich, sniffed the rest of my lunch, and wandered off.

Years ago I had a job videotaping the inside of an old, closed luxury hotel in my town. It had been THE place to go for dining, big band music and dancing, the real nightclub life, and probably a little other entertainment, as well. We would be taping everything on every floor, most likely for a prospective buyer. I'd have a helper, Decker, a young woman with whom I secretly shared a mutual crush, but being married, alas... Decker was good at her job, and she was a responsible professional and good witness to our documentation. The shoot was long, but really simple. We just went from the basement (horror movie set, no props required...) to the top of the old air raid warning siren on the roof... using battery lights to show the condition of every floor, a few rooms, toilets, and anything special. For instance, on about the 4th or 5th floor, a suite room door was open and inside, it looked like "Trainspotting." It was a shooting parlour for local addicts. There was graffiti - some written in feces and a sink had been turned into a small "campfire," so I give 'em high marks for fire safety. But we were worried they were around, even though there was never a trace of anyone even hiding in closets ot anything. Later, with it getting dark and our job complete, we wrapped out and headed for the barn. That job was over. About a month later the video company we had done the shoot for got paid and a note to call the law firm commissioning the job. The lawyer said the camera crew had done a very good job, but they wanted to make sure we were OK. "What do you mean, OK?" our boss asked. The lawyer on the phone said that they could clearly see the people watching us from the shadows and just at the edge of our battery light's beam. We had seen nothing... and we were there. It didn't make sense, and it still doesn't. But it's all on tape.

I used to be a night shift custodial worker at a very large hospital. Hospitals are already spooky, but when you're there at night, alone and most of the lights are off, it gets creepy. I worked in two areas that did not house patient rooms so I was 99% of the time alone with no one around and I had to turn lights on in order to go in and clean. Idk how many times I thought I saw someone disappear around a corner or see someone go down a hallway and when I find one of the nurses at their stations and ask who's here, they tell me no one is here. A lot of the areas I was in required key card access, and again, there were no patient rooms here.

Once when I was I think 5, I went to a high school with my mom (she was the only one home so I had to go with). She is a dyslexia teacher so she has a small room and it was at night, when I went out of the room and saw a shadowy figure and so I ran back in and was so freaked out, but when I exited it was gone.

While I was working for a local mining company, I was working a midnight shift. I usually went down the shaft at about 02:30 am just to check and refill all the machines oil and diesel levels. Just as I arrived at the 1st machine I heard a loud laugh. Which was weird because I'd go in alone while the rest slept. I noped out of their when I heard a screaching about 20min after. And then I heard fast paced footsteps as if someone was running. I noped out of there ASAP. Told security when comms was back in range.

The guide behind me heard the same thing and at the same spot and we both went and grilled out boss about is as pranks like this were common in the past.
