Thought we might all have a little fun here.....Especially the Swing Shift and Grave Yard Shift people. --- We've all worked some pretty crummy posts in our day as security officers but what was the post or site that stands out as being the one where strange things happened. {Unexplained noises, lights, voices, movement....that sort of thing} Now I'm no believer in ghosts or that crazy stuff but I've worked a few sites where I did feel the hair on my neck stand up.
around 1989 - 1990 Still a senior in High School I worked for Wells Fargo Security {A real Rag-Tag Outfit compared to todays standards} anyway I was asigned to a company that manufactured recycling trailers that haul....you guessed it recycables. I mainly sat watch in the lobby at the receptionist's desk unless I was on rounds which was every hour. I worked the site from 4pm to Mid-Night. The site consisted of a main office, Various Shops, Storage areas, a trucking yard, and scrap yard. The Patrol was 16 Key Hits in various areas through out the facility....An average round took about 20 minutes.
The office usually was quiet and only had 2 key hits than off to the fabricating shop which was 6 80 foot garage bays full of metal, tools, trailers, grease and what not for 5 Hits and for some reason I always felt like I was being watched why I can't tell but rumor had it that Old Man Kyle as he was known liked to work late hours...this was an employee who suffered a massive heart attack in the shop back in the 70's and died in the shop..The Shop was dark at night except a few night lights. Than outside to the yard...for 6 more hits. The Yard backed up to a densley wooded area that was fenced but had more holes than bad swiss cheese - The wooded area I found out later was a cemetery from decades back and had since grown over. And of course the closest house was miles away. The yard is where things got intresting......Between the woods which surrounded 3/4 of the property the metal from the trailer doors wood bang and creak on windy nights. The three final hits were in the employee parking and break areas. On numerous rounds especially after 10pm I'd find the main gate open and un-locked, lights on in the break room that I know were off on my last pass. An occassional toliet flush would be herd.
One Night I came across a newspaper in the break room dated October 1974. Never saw any fiqures or ghostly voices on my watch but my relief re-canted how he found a lunch pail one night with a name on the top......K.Cramer with what looked to be pretty fresh lunch remains. I blew it off fiquring he was pulling my leg. Quite some time later....about 5 years or so the company went defunct and shut down. The building was demolished however Newspaper articles published about strange happenings at the site continued through the mid-90's --- Today the site remains an open field which I've seen frosted over even during the summer months.....Hmmmmmmmmmm

What's you're wierdest site ????
