The Story of the Man Who Had Spatulas For Hands. I've heard of this yarn.
One time I was working in the highway gas booth, so much weird shit went on on nightshifts, but I can hardly remember any of it now.
Anyway, this one stands out in my mind cause it was the most paranormal:
>in the booth, about 3:30 am
>quiet as a church
>the guy I'm manning the booth with is inside the main building fucking around, or smoking, or napping, or whatever it was that he did
>start to drift off myself, been a rough week for sleep
>have a dream where I can see someone walking across the lot from the truck stop to the booth
>snap awake and lift head as he arrives, literally in real life too
There was no noise to this whole thing, guy didn't say a word, couldn't hear footsteps or anything through the closed booth.
Animal instincts I guess
Oh, and one time I pumped for a van full of creepy, smiley, suited up Mormons, they unnerved me with their smiles and soft voices and tried to offer me a business card/pamphlet for their cult in lieu of a tip.

Not paranormal, but strange still
This happened a few years ago when I was in the Army at Fort Bliss. There's some stupid shit called staff duty where you play secretary for the battalion for 24 hrs. It's gay, but kinda comfy at night when all there is to do is browse the Internet. Anyway.

>>17585970
Literally the worst greentext I have ever read in both content and execution.
Work night shift for DOT in a rural area. Lots of spoopy stuff happens in the middle of nowhere on country roads. Weird noises, car lights coming towards us, never pass us but theres no roads/gates/etc for them to have turned on before reaching us, shadows in brush moving
>>17587168
fuck off, that was a cool story.
okay, some of the posts were oddly short and fucked with the timing, but the story itself was cool.
So this happened a while ago
>Be me, 19
>Working at a shitty pizza place
>Pretty late at night
>¨Pissed because I didn't wanted third shift that week
>Cheer up a little because my friend who also worked there offered me a ride
>My friend was heating some leftover pizza for us and the one girl that also got third shift
>We start to eat and friend starts to spit shit about the charlie charlie game
>Girl says we should play it
>We get a paper sheet and two pencils from the office
>Friend starts
"Charlie Charlie, are you here?"
>Pencil fucking moves
>I shit a brick
>Girl also gets scared
>Friend gets excited
"Charlie Charlie, are the five of us alone here?"
(Counting "it" and our manager that was locked in the office)
>We keep asking it stuff
>Start to hear things in the back of the store/place
>"Must be my imagination" I think
>She hears it too
>Says it's a mouse, so we grab some brooms to try and chase it away
>Friend leaves some trays piled up with only dough in them
>She stays in the lobby in case someone comes to the store/place
>After 10 minutes of searching, we don't see anything, then...
>Something heavy falls over back at the front of the store/place
>We rush over there and find the piled up trays and a shit ton of sauce on the floor
>Look at friend and we both look at girl
>"What the fuck did you guys do back there?"
>"Dafuq did YOU do here?"
>Stay quiet and clean up
>We felt like we were watched for like 2 hours
After a while we broke the pencils and burned down the paper sheet we played with.
Got a couple. Not really paranormal or spooky at all, but I guess I'll share anyways.
1st story. Actually kind of fuinny.
>Be Me
>Work at gas station
>Outside Having smoke because place is really slow at night.
>Hear yelling to my side
>Motorcyclist is yelling at a car in front of him.
Circle in pic related is the spot he was standing.
>He gets off bike and starts walking towards car.
>Car takes right turn and drives along the red path in pic related.
>chuckle to myself, head inside
>a couple minutes later, back out for another smoke. I know, I have a problem.
>Same car and bike drive past along blue line in pic.
>Cyclist yelling
"Stop Now! That cost me ten dollars!"
>I still wonder, What the hell did the car driver do?
2nd story. Still not paranormal but still pretty scary
>Outside smoking... again
>Hear what sounds like gunshots
>Can't be more than a half mile away
>Distinctly here 2 different calibers
>Couple rounds of one, than a couple rounds of the other, than the first one again
>Finish ciggarrette, go inside
>Talk to coworker
>"There's either a shootout going on, or someone's shooting off fireworks."
"Well were i nthe middle of Fort Peirce, What do you think it is.
>Was probably some niggers shooting at each other.
>work in a mixed-sex mental health unit for adults
>unit is small 'minimum security', in that residents are free to leave their rooms whenever they please
>the doors are automated too
>no one is classified as "dangerous"
The next part will contain some vague details so as not to break any privacy laws (we really do respect our residents) but the key events are exactly how they happened. I do believe the incident report omitted certain things, however
>receive resident who is of an age that suggests they won't be alive too much longer
>this person had a record of committing violent crime
>had attempted to murder their spouse once, but instead of facing prison, ended up at a psychiatric ward for many years
>Transferred to us to live out the rest of their days
>Resident is confined to a wheelchair and was quite an endearing character, but due to the specifics of their condition, had the potential for petulant outbursts if desires were not met
The hospital grounds are beautiful in summer, but early in the year things get pretty bleak - people tend to die during this period a lot more frequently- and as expected, we lost 2 residents in January of 2014.
>aforementioned resident is a bit sad to have find out two of their 'friends' had died.
>wants to take over looking after the chickens one of them kept
>"okay, sure! we're sure they'll (the chickens) appreciate you looking after them!"
>cue two weeks of taking the resident in question out to visit and feed them, etc...
>resident eventually gets fed up of this and one colleague mentions the resident was a bit hostile towards the chickens and threw their feed all over them.
Over the following night, the wire to the chicken enclosure was ripped open the entire vertical length of the cage and the chickens were "mashed to shit".
Now, I'd finished before all this had been discovered, and was heading home for breakfast when I got a call asking me if I could return
>anon, there's been an incident, blah blah blah
cont.
>return back to work to find a lot of activity around the garden
Naturally, I ask what the hell happened, and no one really had any answer except for
>"we found what looks like a blood stain on Anon Residents door....and that's about it..." where the exact words
Colleague then gives me The Look: He's implying something, but won't say it. The resident is wheelchair-bound and can't even move the chair.
Ultimately, the report was written up as vandalism. Police were called, but there was not much they could do. The resident never spoke about the chickens again. We think they did it, but we just don't know how, kek
This was horrible.
>I was a Freshman in college. My mother picked me up from the dorms and we were driving down south through Florida's butthole.
>It was very late night and we needed gas.
>We see a sign for gas and we exit the small, shitty highway we were on.
>We drive a good few miles down this completely dark road to the gas station, like 4 miles, out of sight of the highway.
>The gas station is closed, lights still on so people can pump their own gas.
>The rest of the area around us is absolutely completely black. Dark tall slash pine forests at night. No houses. No moon. No cars and people.
>Darkness.
>We get out and the smell was really unexpected and confusing.
>It was the unmistakable smell of rotting, dead flesh.
>I rode my bike by roadkill before and the smell is usually contained around a small area downwind.
>This was different.
>The smell of of death was strong. Extremely intense and it was everywhere.
>Whatever it was there was a lot of it. Like in the woods like big chunks of flesh was spread all over the forest rotting and decomposing.
>Putting it all together, the smell of death, the isolation, the darkness, we both start to panic.
>Animal-like fear of the possible danger we were in was bone chilling.
>It was bizarre and intense; if we didn't get gas we would run out and be stuck in the middle of the dark nowhere with the looming smell of death haunting us.
>Was is dead animals? Dead people? Was this dimly lit gas station in the middle of darkness and nowhere a trap?
>We pumped as much gas as we could stand and got the fuck in the car and peeled out of there.
>The drive back to the highway we were trying to explain to ourselves what happened and what was going on.
It's a horrible memory. Maybe the reason why we both aren't dead is because there was two of us. The intensity of the smell of rotting flesh is still not explainable to me. There would have to be dozens of bodies rotting out in the woods nearby that place to smell that bad.
>>17588275
maybe this
Its been 6 years since I told the story here on /x/ and its been 8 years since the incident happened. I get the same debunking theories but none of them really puts my mind at ease as to what actually happened.
>18 years old
>party one saturday night
>i am designated driver
>leave party some time around 2 or 3 am
>have two friends with me. One is sick from drinking too much in my passenger seat and the other is in the back seat

>i ask him if I could use his bathroom since I got a pretty long drive back(about 30-40 minute drive)
>he says no cause he snuck out
>he points to his garage
>i start walking towards the garage
>i can hear my friend behind me following
>i go to the side of the garage and I see my friend walk around the front to wait for me i guess
>motion detector sets off front garage light
>as i am pissing, i see the silhouette(light behind him) of my friend peeking back and forth from the corner of the garage
>he is peeking his head in and out of view from that corner and giggling
>i ask him why he is being gay as im pissin but he keeps doing it and is giggling
>i finish up. As im zipping up and walking over i see he stopped
>as im walking i ask again why he was doing what he was doing
>hes not there
>figure he crawled back into his window since it was only about 5 steps away from the garage
>next morning i ask him why he was watching me piss over facebook
>he tells me he went inside as i was walking to the garage
Even after 8 years i can remember this experience like it happened yesterday. Although i was into paranormal shit at that age, i was not expecting nor was i anticipating anything strange to happen that night.
I have another story if anyone is interested

Go on...
I used to work the graveyard shift at a mental health facility. Nothing spoopy ever happened. After I finished med count I'd sit and read Lovecraft between room checks hoping for some weirdness, trying to psyche myself out.... but nothing.
I did used to scare the shit out of the chick that worked in the women's area, though.
I remember we had a new guy and it was his first time working the overnight... We had this one client that was always goofing around, well that dude hid in one of the unlocked unoccupied rooms and when the new dude walked by, he popped out and says "I'm gonna fuck you" in a really aggressive whisper. New dude hid in the tech station. Brilliant.
>>17589465
Oh, and during room checks I walked in on dudes beating off a few times. That's kinda spoopy, I guess.
>>17587869
The story was shit.
>guy with attempted murder charges working as an armed security guard
