Welcome to paranormal night

4
00:00:07,760 –> 00:00:10,840
Paranormal story is told here.
Let’s jump right into it.
5
00:00:11,080 –> 00:00:14,520
This story comes from TJ in
Alabama, he says.
6
00:00:14,520 –> 00:00:16,960
I’m a correctional officer and
the thing that a lot of people
7
00:00:16,960 –> 00:00:20,480
don’t understand about
corrections is that term life
8
00:00:20,800 –> 00:00:24,000
without the possibility of
parole or they’re not going to
9
00:00:24,000 –> 00:00:26,600
face the electric chair or
anything like that.
10
00:00:27,060 –> 00:00:29,900
I know they will live in the
prison for the rest of their
11
00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:31,900
life.
I worked maximum security for
12
00:00:31,900 –> 00:00:34,540
years.
I had a use of force go wrong
13
00:00:34,540 –> 00:00:36,460
and I had to get moved for a
little bit.
14
00:00:36,820 –> 00:00:40,140
Call it administrative
punishment on my part, put me in
15
00:00:40,140 –> 00:00:42,900
the medical wing, which is
basically babysitting a whole
16
00:00:42,900 –> 00:00:46,300
bunch of people who are sick or
hurt with inside the prison.
17
00:00:46,620 –> 00:00:49,300
Other than a couple little
hiccups, it was definitely a lot
18
00:00:49,300 –> 00:00:52,500
more relaxed than I was used to
working in maximum security.
19
00:00:52,970 –> 00:00:55,530
Now I’ve been told and been
warned before, you don’t ever
20
00:00:55,530 –> 00:00:58,730
really want to read what people
are in there for because you’ll
21
00:00:58,730 –> 00:01:02,010
start acting different towards
them once you know their crimes.
22
00:01:02,450 –> 00:01:05,129
But it was late one night and I
was kind of bored and started
23
00:01:05,129 –> 00:01:07,650
going through the cards to see
what people’s charges were.
24
00:01:07,930 –> 00:01:11,250
I came across one card for this
old man who has been in medical
25
00:01:11,250 –> 00:01:15,250
for the last 20 years basically,
and I Google searched what he
26
00:01:15,250 –> 00:01:18,210
was there for.
Crimes were absolutely heinous.
27
00:01:18,620 –> 00:01:21,300
He had begin of the life without
the possibility of parole and
28
00:01:21,300 –> 00:01:24,100
had been locked up for the
better half of 50 years.
29
00:01:24,380 –> 00:01:27,300
And even now in his older age,
he was still cold hearted.
30
00:01:27,300 –> 00:01:30,340
He was dangerous, he was
absolutely horrible to deal
31
00:01:30,340 –> 00:01:33,340
with, he was rude to the nurses
and he was always aggressive and
32
00:01:33,340 –> 00:01:35,420
violent.
How come I hadn’t heard about
33
00:01:35,420 –> 00:01:37,380
this guy?
I’d work Max forever.
34
00:01:37,860 –> 00:01:40,420
Let me get to the paranormal
part because all of this is
35
00:01:40,420 –> 00:01:43,980
neither here or there.
Just wanted to set the tone for
36
00:01:43,980 –> 00:01:47,300
how cold this guy was.
He didn’t like guards, he didn’t
37
00:01:47,300 –> 00:01:50,010
like anybody and he was
aggressive and mean.
38
00:01:50,170 –> 00:01:51,930
That’s what I need you to
understand.
39
00:01:51,930 –> 00:01:57,330
As I’m doing my rounds, I hear
him screaming, screaming like
40
00:01:57,530 –> 00:02:01,330
something horrible is happening
in his cell, Very cautious.
41
00:02:01,330 –> 00:02:04,890
But when I go to his cell, I see
him bald, in the corner, fetal
42
00:02:04,890 –> 00:02:08,690
position, crying.
This is a hard and cold blooded
43
00:02:08,690 –> 00:02:12,010
person and he’s sitting there
crying like a baby.
44
00:02:12,170 –> 00:02:15,330
Grab the staff nurse and open
the door and he says they’ve
45
00:02:15,330 –> 00:02:17,730
come for me.
It’s finally my time.
46
00:02:18,170 –> 00:02:21,730
Teammates play a lot of games
with guards and nurses, so I
47
00:02:21,730 –> 00:02:24,130
assume it’s some kind of play.
He’s just trying to get
48
00:02:24,130 –> 00:02:27,490
something out of this.
Once the nurse checks him, we
49
00:02:27,490 –> 00:02:30,370
shut the door.
But all night, all night he
50
00:02:30,370 –> 00:02:35,050
cries and screams, crying, as if
something is coming after him.
51
00:02:35,210 –> 00:02:39,410
The more checks we do, the more
I realize something is truly,
52
00:02:39,770 –> 00:02:42,570
truly bothering this man.
About 3:00 o’clock in the
53
00:02:42,570 –> 00:02:44,890
morning, he knocks on his cell
door and asks for me to come
54
00:02:44,890 –> 00:02:47,140
over.
And he asked me to do something
55
00:02:47,140 –> 00:02:50,540
that I’ve never been asked to.
I’m not a very religious or
56
00:02:50,540 –> 00:02:53,700
spiritual man, but this man
looks me in the eyes and says,
57
00:02:53,700 –> 00:02:56,700
please pray with me.
It’s the only way to get them to
58
00:02:56,700 –> 00:02:59,820
go away.
I hadn’t been to church in years
59
00:02:59,820 –> 00:03:03,260
myself, but I did my best, our
Father who art in heaven.
60
00:03:03,980 –> 00:03:05,900
He finally went to sleep the
rest of the night.
61
00:03:06,140 –> 00:03:08,740
No more problems.
I did my checks the rest of the
62
00:03:08,740 –> 00:03:11,700
night like anything else.
No more problems out of him or
63
00:03:11,700 –> 00:03:14,180
anyone else.
Breakfast comes early in the
64
00:03:14,180 –> 00:03:17,580
prison system, so 4:30 in the
morning, the breakfast carts
65
00:03:17,580 –> 00:03:20,380
there open a cell and he’s not
responsive.
66
00:03:21,180 –> 00:03:24,740
I call his name a couple of
times and realize I don’t think
67
00:03:24,740 –> 00:03:27,700
he’s sleeping anymore.
When I rolled him over, surely
68
00:03:27,700 –> 00:03:31,260
enough, he had passed.
But I’ll never forget the look
69
00:03:31,260 –> 00:03:35,620
in his eyes and the look on his
face of pure and utter terror.
70
00:03:36,380 –> 00:03:40,300
Whatever he had done in his past
had finally come and collected
71
00:03:40,300 –> 00:03:40,940
its toll.
