00:00:10,480 –> 00:00:12,720
Today’s story comes in from
Marjorie.

5
00:00:13,400 –> 00:00:17,280
When I was a CNA and working
night shift, I constantly saw

6
00:00:17,320 –> 00:00:21,200
shadows moving around the rooms,
little balls of light floating

7
00:00:21,200 –> 00:00:25,120
around, etcetera, and eventually
I kind of got used to him.

8
00:00:25,680 –> 00:00:28,840
But one night in particular, I
was walking down the halls

9
00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:33,060
quietly doing my checkins, just
checking to see if any of the

10
00:00:33,060 –> 00:00:36,180
elderly patients had fallen out
of bed, which occurred

11
00:00:36,340 –> 00:00:38,900
occasionally.
Sometimes they would forget that

12
00:00:38,900 –> 00:00:41,260
they needed a wheelchair or a
Walker to be able to go to the

13
00:00:41,260 –> 00:00:44,140
restroom.
But anyway, I’m walking quietly

14
00:00:44,140 –> 00:00:47,980
down these halls, listening and
peeking into rooms 1 by 1.

15
00:00:48,660 –> 00:00:54,300
And I remember this one room.
This one room for a patient will

16
00:00:54,300 –> 00:00:58,630
call her Sam.
Her son had requested that we

17
00:00:58,630 –> 00:01:01,670
kept the door open at all the
times unless we were providing

18
00:01:01,670 –> 00:01:05,670
care.
But this one night, the door was

19
00:01:05,670 –> 00:01:08,870
closed.
I open the door and I see the

20
00:01:08,870 –> 00:01:12,470
shadow of a man sitting in the
chair next to her.

21
00:01:13,070 –> 00:01:17,310
Now I assume it’s her son, but
it’s also 2:00 in the morning.

22
00:01:17,670 –> 00:01:20,150
I apologize.
And I shut the door again.

23
00:01:20,670 –> 00:01:24,830
After that incident, I get a
call from her room telling us

24
00:01:25,030 –> 00:01:29,070
like a page to go to her room.
I go to the room and sure

25
00:01:29,070 –> 00:01:31,110
enough, the man sitting in the
chair is not there.

26
00:01:31,510 –> 00:01:34,590
But then I get this really weird
gut feeling.

27
00:01:35,270 –> 00:01:38,550
I get this gut feeling to check
her vitals and sure enough, her

28
00:01:38,550 –> 00:01:42,190
blood pressure is dropping, her
heart rate is slowing down, and

29
00:01:42,190 –> 00:01:44,550
her oxygen levels are
ridiculously low.

30
00:01:44,590 –> 00:01:48,630
Call for codes, rush her to the
ER, and then I spend most of my

31
00:01:48,630 –> 00:01:51,670
time trying to figure out where
her son had gone because he was

32
00:01:51,670 –> 00:01:55,660
sitting in the room with her.
Or at least I thought we make

33
00:01:55,660 –> 00:01:59,020
the phone call to the emergency
contacts and I was surprised

34
00:01:59,020 –> 00:02:01,460
that he had answered the phone.
Hey, where are you?

35
00:02:01,460 –> 00:02:03,340
You were just here a couple
minutes ago.

36
00:02:03,660 –> 00:02:08,380
Your mom is not doing well.
He was very shocked and told me

37
00:02:08,380 –> 00:02:11,180
he hadn’t been at the hospital
all night, that he had planned

38
00:02:11,180 –> 00:02:14,700
to be there in the morning.
We were ushered to the ER.

39
00:02:14,700 –> 00:02:16,780
She ends up making it and
everything was fine.

40
00:02:17,300 –> 00:02:20,980
But her son was very concerned
about the idea that somebody

41
00:02:20,980 –> 00:02:24,930
else was in the room.
And I told everyone what I saw.

42
00:02:25,690 –> 00:02:28,570
My charge nurse pulled me aside
and said, I know what you saw.

43
00:02:29,170 –> 00:02:32,050
I’ve seen it too.
It’s a shadow figure.

44
00:02:32,610 –> 00:02:35,170
He comes in and out of rooms and
sits with patients.

45
00:02:35,690 –> 00:02:39,730
But when he’s seen and when he’s
acknowledged, that’s when the

46
00:02:39,730 –> 00:02:41,410
patients take a turn for the
worse.

47
00:02:42,210 –> 00:02:45,610
He might have been there to try
to take her life that night, but

48
00:02:45,610 –> 00:02:48,090
because you saw him, you saved
her.

49
00:02:49,010 –> 00:02:54,130
I know it’s eerie, this Grim
Reaper idea, this shadow figure

50
00:02:54,130 –> 00:02:59,650
who would come and take souls,
but there’s something knowing,

51
00:02:59,770 –> 00:03:04,770
something peaceful in knowing
that by me seeing him, he

52
00:03:04,770 –> 00:03:09,410
couldn’t do it that night.
I don’t know much about the the

53
00:03:09,410 –> 00:03:13,170
paranormal and I don’t really
look into it that much, but I

54
00:03:13,170 –> 00:03:16,610
know I’ve seen things and I’ve
heard stories and I think that

55
00:03:16,610 –> 00:03:21,250
maybe we are the guardian angels
that are meant to set and take

56
00:03:21,250 –> 00:03:26,650
him away until it is their time.
Thank you for sharing my story

57
00:03:27,170 –> 00:03:29,410
and I really enjoy Paranormal
Night Shift.

58
00:03:30,050 –> 00:03:33,410
Tell me what you think in the
comments about Shadow People and

59
00:03:33,410 –> 00:03:34,210
the Grim Reaper.
