She Works In A Care Home From The 19th Century, And Here Are Some Of The Creepy Things She Has Experienced
Can you imagine being interviewed for a job at a care home and being told that the building is haunted during the interview?
That’s what happened to one woman who accepted the job as a caretaker for multiple residents in a supposedly haunted home from the 19th century.
“Most of our residents are receiving palliative care, and unfortunately, the inevitable happens,” she explained. “Residents pass pretty frequently, so it makes sense that a building like this would be haunted.”
Despite the notion that the place was haunted, she accepted the job. She soon learned that one of the scariest and sketchiest spots in the building is the cellar, where all of their protective gear and equipment is located.
She tried to avoid the cellar as much as possible but was forced to go down there while working a night shift.
She describes the cellar as damp, cold, and “horribly quiet.” While she was looking for the equipment, she heard some strange noises.
She grabbed what she needed and ran out of there as soon as possible. When she told a coworker about this experience, they weren’t surprised, as everyone who had been down there agreed it had a spooky vibe to it.
The cellar also has some dark history. In the building’s earlier years, there was a tunnel in the cellar that connected to a church down the road.
During those days, employees would use the tunnels to transport departed bodies from the care facility to the church.

Although the tunnel is no longer being used, employees cannot shake the uneasiness they feel every time they enter the cellar.
After working in the home for a while, she recently found out that it would be closing down for financial reasons.
Residents have slowly been transferred to different places, and the population went from about 20 to 8 patients.
Recently while working a night shift, she only had to take care of three residents. It was a very quiet and laid-back evening.
Two out of the three residents were in one corridor, while the other one was in a different part of the house, near some of the vacant rooms.
While checking on everyone, she noticed that the two who shared a corridor were fine. But when going to visit the other resident, she noticed a shadow standing by the door.
Although she was freaked out, she made sure her resident was alright. By the time she was finished, the shadow was gone.
When she turned on the lights, she noticed that there weren’t any objects laying around to create such a shadow. She carried on, and things were alright, or so she thought!
Later in the evening, while going to check on the lone resident once again, a door to an empty room swung open.
She rushed to check on her resident to distract herself from the surprising incident, and when she went back into the hallway, the door was closed.
To make things even more strange, she did note that there was someone else working that night but that he couldn’t have caused any of these things because he works on an entirely different floor.
“I’m sure if it [the home] is haunted, the spirits are of the residents who’ve sadly passed away here and mean no harm, but scary nevertheless,” she added.
Do you think you could work in a place that everyone says is haunted?
