What's the weirdest thing you ever experienced? Mine was when I was working for a company that sandblasted. We were taking the lead paint off the was in a mental institution (Creedmoor) In NY. Wel it was getting towrd dusk and we had to shut the lights off and lock it up. Well we did then we go out to the truck and see light from an upper room window. Ok A few of us went up their creepy place to start with so always went in twos. These candles are set upin a pentagram lit. Ok weird, in what we called a strong room with a serious metal door on it. Blow them out, lock the door and leave. No one is supposed to be in the building but us. Go out to the truck hear a freaking screeching metal sound and look up the window is glowing again. OK WTF! Go up the door is bent in half Alost and the candles are re lit. Call security and just get the hell out of there. Most of us refused to go back and finish that job. Rellt freaking weird especilly in a mental institute!
Mine would have to be the experience I had in 2011. The Saturday morning hours after thanksgiving, roughly 0200.
I was working security on an old state mental hospital turned military training site. Myself and my supervisor were doing our nightly patrols of the roughly 85 buildings. It was a dead weekend for training so we had to do interior checks too. Well one of the building, building 11 was 4 stories, 3 above, one below ground. So we entered the main foray, then headed up to the top floor, worked our way thru the rooms ones by one, locking all the doors behind us.
The basement is a wide open room, with an emergency staircase on the opposite corner. There’s was nothing but a steel folding chair in this room. And it was right next to the main stair case, up against the wall, folded out as if one was going to use it. We locked the main stair case door and walked the roughly 100 feet or so to the emergency stair case, the only other entry/exit to this basement. We went out and no later than my hand lifting off the door knob after locking it behind us, there was a very loud bang as something hit the stairway door. We tired to go back in, but the door would only open so far like it was blocked by something.
So we called it in, the camera operator switched to that camera as the two of us re-entered the main stairway and proceeded to the basement, guns drawn of course. What we found shocked the **** out of us.
The steel chair that was previously leaning against the wall by the main staircase was now bent and Jammed against the door to the emergency stair case!!
Naturally, we thought someone just have been in the building. We then did a room by room search while the camera operator watched the 9 cameras on this building that showed the inside and all four sides exterior plus the roof. Nothing was found.
Well about an hour later, the camera operator calls us to the office. He had been replaying the video footage. No one had entered or exited that building except for us in 3 days time. But what he found I still can’t explain.
One of the 9 cameras is inside the basement, above the main stair case and points to the door of the emergency staircase. He played it back, it showed us walking across the basement to the emergency stair case door, exiting and closing the door. But it also showed that steel chair, rapidly sliding across the floor until about 20 feet away when the chair lifted from the floor and appeared to be thrown into the door!
