Welcome to Paranormal Nightshift! Join us as we delve into the eerie and mysterious world of the supernatural. In today’s episode, titled “I Need to Go Home,” we hear a spine-tingling account from a travel nurse in Tennessee. The nurse recounts her experiences working the graveyard shift at an assisted living facility, where strange occurrences are anything but ordinary.
As a travel nurse, she’s used to a nomadic lifestyle, but her latest assignment takes a haunting turn. The assisted living facility she works at operates with strict visiting hours, yet late-night visitors aren’t uncommon. The facility’s aging patients often attempt to wander, necessitating cautious oversight. However, a technical glitch throws everything into disarray, causing all the doors to become unlocked. To ensure security, visitors now need to check in and out manually.
During her solo shift, she spots an elderly man with a walker making his way to the exit. The nurse politely tries to ensure his safety and follows protocol, insisting on verifying his identity. The man is insistent, stating that he needs to go home. Frustration mounts as they engage in a tense exchange, but before her eyes, the man vanishes, leaving her bewildered and alone.
Her colleagues return, and she relates the bizarre encounter, leading to the discovery that the man who visited had the same name as a deceased patient. The nurse’s search for answers continues as she reviews security footage, only to be met with skepticism from security personnel who claim she was speaking to thin air. Despite their disbelief, the nurse remains resolute in her account, convinced that she engaged in a genuine conversation with an otherworldly visitor.
Tales of ghostly encounters during night shifts are common, yet this story carries an unexpected sweetness. The nurse believes that the apparition was none other than Mr. Patterson himself, peacefully acknowledging his time to “go home.” Join us on this haunting journey into the unknown as we explore the boundaries between our world and the beyond.

Oh my God.
Welcome to Paranormal Night.

00:00:03,520 –> 00:00:06,840
Shift your home for all things
that go bump in the night and
3
00:00:06,840 –> 00:00:10,520
your fan story is told here.
Today’s story is called I Need
4
00:00:10,520 –> 00:00:13,560
to Go Home and Comes from Evelyn
in Tennessee.
5
00:00:14,040 –> 00:00:17,720
It’s weird being a travel nurse.
I’m never in one spot too long
6
00:00:17,720 –> 00:00:20,440
and it doesn’t feel like I ever
really have a place to call
7
00:00:20,440 –> 00:00:23,000
home.
But the money’s good and you
8
00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:24,720
know, the travel’s kind of nice
as well.
9
00:00:25,120 –> 00:00:28,200
I took a gig in Tennessee
working at an assisted living
10
00:00:28,200 –> 00:00:33,080
facility, but it was graveyard
shift 6P to 6A and it wasn’t
11
00:00:33,080 –> 00:00:37,360
uncommon for us to have visitors
stay after, even though visiting
12
00:00:37,360 –> 00:00:40,720
hours was over at six and the
doors automatically locked.
13
00:00:41,040 –> 00:00:43,480
It wasn’t uncommon for us to
have to let people out
14
00:00:43,680 –> 00:00:46,920
throughout the night, but being
it was an assisted living
15
00:00:46,920 –> 00:00:50,120
facility, we had to be pretty
cautious about who we let in and
16
00:00:50,120 –> 00:00:54,000
out because a lot of the times
our patients would try to find
17
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:56,890
their way out.
Earlier that day we had a
18
00:00:56,890 –> 00:00:59,730
situation where the power went
out and all the doors are put on
19
00:00:59,730 –> 00:01:03,170
timing locks with a key card,
but the power somehow messed
20
00:01:03,170 –> 00:01:04,930
them up so everything was
unlocked.
21
00:01:05,290 –> 00:01:07,650
So in order for people to come
and go, they had to check out
22
00:01:07,650 –> 00:01:10,610
with us.
After about 8:00 in the evening,
23
00:01:10,970 –> 00:01:14,210
we figured most of the visitors
had already left and my
24
00:01:14,210 –> 00:01:17,290
colleagues decided to go take a
lunch break, leaving me to be
25
00:01:17,290 –> 00:01:20,410
the only one at the desk.
At the corner of my eye I see an
26
00:01:20,410 –> 00:01:22,970
elderly man with a Walker
heading towards the door.
27
00:01:23,170 –> 00:01:24,210
Sir.
Sir.
28
00:01:24,210 –> 00:01:25,830
Excuse me.
Can I help you?
29
00:01:26,750 –> 00:01:30,190
I I need to go home is what the
man said.
30
00:01:30,830 –> 00:01:33,470
I said, Sir, I I I have to check
you.
31
00:01:33,510 –> 00:01:36,550
You know that I have to check to
make sure that you’re not a
32
00:01:36,550 –> 00:01:39,190
patient here.
You don’t understand.
33
00:01:39,270 –> 00:01:42,550
I need to go home, Sir.
I I understand that.
34
00:01:42,550 –> 00:01:44,710
But I have to check.
I need to check the visiting
35
00:01:44,710 –> 00:01:46,670
log.
It’s all for safety, Sir.
36
00:01:46,670 –> 00:01:49,190
I’m sorry if it’s an
inconvenience, but I have to
37
00:01:49,190 –> 00:01:51,710
check.
Man became agitated with me.
38
00:01:51,710 –> 00:01:55,690
You’re wasting your time.
It’s time for me to go, Sir.
39
00:01:55,690 –> 00:01:57,970
I I understand.
But please, please just sit
40
00:01:57,970 –> 00:02:00,450
here.
Let me go check the log and make
41
00:02:00,450 –> 00:02:02,370
sure that everything is safe,
OK?
42
00:02:02,370 –> 00:02:05,330
Please tell me your name, Sir,
so that I can check the visitor
43
00:02:05,330 –> 00:02:08,850
log.
My name is Pat Patterson.
44
00:02:09,250 –> 00:02:12,330
I don’t have anything here under
your name, Sir.
45
00:02:12,330 –> 00:02:16,090
Did you go visit Mr. Patterson?
Mr. Patterson in Room 4.
46
00:02:16,090 –> 00:02:18,930
Is that who you visited?
Man continued to tell me I was
47
00:02:18,930 –> 00:02:21,330
wasting my time.
He put his hand on the door.
48
00:02:21,330 –> 00:02:24,430
And why I tried to stop him.
He just vanished, just
49
00:02:24,430 –> 00:02:27,590
disappeared in the thin air.
By this time all of my other
50
00:02:27,590 –> 00:02:30,430
nurses had started to come back
and they asked me what was going
51
00:02:30,430 –> 00:02:32,310
on.
I said there was a man who came
52
00:02:32,310 –> 00:02:35,310
to visit Mr. Patterson and he
and he just disappeared.
53
00:02:35,710 –> 00:02:38,270
Course, the two of them looked
at me like I was crazy when I
54
00:02:38,270 –> 00:02:40,150
explained to him that he just
disappeared.
55
00:02:40,470 –> 00:02:44,190
But we went into Mr. Patterson’s
room and surely enough he had
56
00:02:44,190 –> 00:02:47,190
passed in his sleep.
I still don’t understand what I
57
00:02:47,190 –> 00:02:51,270
saw, but there was a man at the
door trying to get out that
58
00:02:51,270 –> 00:02:55,160
looked just like Mr. Patterson
and then he disappeared.
59
00:02:55,520 –> 00:02:59,040
I asked security to check the CC
footage and of course they told
60
00:02:59,040 –> 00:03:00,760
me that I was just talking to
myself.
61
00:03:01,240 –> 00:03:04,760
But how am I having a whole
conversation with somebody for
62
00:03:04,760 –> 00:03:08,160
upwards of 5 minutes talking to
myself?
63
00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:11,840
None of that made sense to me.
You hear all the ghost stories
64
00:03:11,840 –> 00:03:14,440
about working night shift, but
this one was kind of sweet to
65
00:03:14,440 –> 00:03:17,360
me.
Mr. Patterson just understood it
66
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:18,720
was time for him to go home.
