4 Horrifying Experiences of Former Police Officers - Mr. Nightmare · Crime and Horror

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Police officers have always gotten a bad rap for their
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: authority over us, which is very often abused. However, the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: police are the first ones to get called into action
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: whenever trouble arises, and they'll no doubt see some disturbing stuff.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Here are four haunting stories of former police officers. Number four.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I was a cop for 30 years. I retired at
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the age of 50, so of course I had some
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: weird calls. But I'll never forget the night that me
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and my partner Steve were called to respond to a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: domestic abuse report. The call was made by a neighbor.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: These calls were never really a big deal. They usually
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: gave us something to do during the night. Not that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I enjoy dealing with couples fighting and all that stuff.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So we arrived at the house. I still vividly remember
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the address, and I remember the door was left wide open.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The second we stepped inside, the strong scent of marijuana
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: filled our lungs. It was everywhere. Not just marijuana, though.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: There was a strong smell of chemicals, which we assumed
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was either meth or cocaine. We made our presence known
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: by asking for the couple to come out into sight.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: A thump from the upstairs gave away their position. Steve
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: had his hand on his holster, ready to pull his gun.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But me? I wasn't nervous yet. Steve told me to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: move quietly up the stairs. We normally listen to each other,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: so I humored his paranoia. There were three doors, two
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: open and one closed. The closed door led in the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: direction where the thud in the ceiling was. I banged
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: on the door before swinging it open myself. The smell
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was the first thing we noticed. Then the body. The
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: body was very obviously rotted. We knew even in the dark.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: We pulled our guns. Steve turned on the light. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: told him to scan that room while I scanned the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: rest of the house. I was shaking all over now.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I hated my job at that moment. I wanted to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: run back to the car and leave, for I was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: sure I could die at any moment. I found my
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: hand to be stuck on the doorknob until I finally
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: had the balls to turn it and push the door
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: open with force. I turned the light on, but there
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was nobody inside. It was a disturbingly tiny room. No
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: windows and no furniture, except for a dirty old cot.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Steve suddenly screamed, and I rushed across the hall to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: see what was going on. There was some shirtless guy
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: laying flat above one of the dressers in the room.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We had him at gunpoint, yelling at him to come down,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: when something grabbed my ankle and tried to pull me
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to the floor. There was a hand coming from under
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the bed. I stomped on the arm with my other
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: foot and pulled out a frail, trashy-looking woman who was
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: obviously baked. I cuffed her and Steve cuffed the man.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We were on our way outside with the two crazies
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: screaming at us, but we had one final surprise coming.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Some psycho from upstairs started screaming, charging at us down
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the stairs with a knife raised in the air. Steve
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: reacted just fast enough to save my ass by two seconds,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: shooting the guy dead. This was a crack house. Somehow
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: none of the neighbors could smell anything suspicious. The dead
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: woman on the bed was killed by the man of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the two we caught, who admitted to killing her due
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to lack of payment. The man was sentenced to life
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: without parole. The woman was sentenced to 30 years. Steve
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: says he never felt bad about what he did. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: says he just rid the world of one more piece
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of trash. Number three. Myself and a buddy on my
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: squad responded to an alarm. The incident location was an
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: old office type building that had been converted to a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: doctor's office. There was a pharmacy attached to it as well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Our dispatch received a motion signal from an upstairs office.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: The key holder arrives on the scene and we go
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in to secure the building. The stairs were locked behind
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a door that, of course, the keyholder didn't have a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: key to, so we took the elevator up to the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: second floor. The elevator opens to a pitch black hallway,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: except for one overhead light at the end of the hall.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: We start checking the doors, and so far, all are secured.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We get to the last office, and sure enough, the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: door is unlocked. We make entry and observe it to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: be an unused office. The door opened to a sizable
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: waiting room and reception area, There were about 10 or
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: 12 exam rooms, all cleared with no hiccups. We exit
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the office, and immediately, something seems off. That's when I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: realize the overhead light at our end of the hallway
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that was on before had been turned off. It was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: replaced by another light over at the elevators. I look
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: at my squadmate, and he's completely white. I ask him
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: what's wrong, and he says, Weren't all those doors we
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: just checked closed and locked? I tell him, Yeah, so?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: My buddy says, well now they're all standing open. Sure enough,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all the offices down the hallway we had just checked
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: were now standing open. The pucker factor sinks in at
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this point, so we start clearing and securing offices. We
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: finish the last office, and on our way out, just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: before we turn the corner to get into the waiting area,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the main door just slams shut. Then our radios start
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: going nuts with some kind of static feedback. Now I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just want to get the hell out of there We
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: get back in the elevator and head down to the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: first floor in hopes to make contact with the keyholder again. However,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the keyholder is nowhere to be found. I contact dispatch
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and request a callback number for the keyholder so I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: can advise him of what we found. Dispatch states that
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the keyholder was still en route to us and was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: advising an ETA of 5 minutes. I advise dispatch that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we had already been out with the keyholder. Dispatch requests
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I give them a call. I call dispatch, and she
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: tells me that there is no way we were out
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with the keyholder. She states that the alarm company had
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: only just made contact with one. Eventually, the real keyholder
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: arrives on the scene, and I ask her about the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: man that had led us in the building. She asked
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: me to describe him, so I did. She states that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: sounds like one of the doctors that used to lease
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the office on the second floor at the end of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the hall. She then states that he had committed suicide
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: at his summer home several days ago. Number 2. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: was responding to a call in the village. A resident
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was reporting noises coming from one of the abandoned buildings
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: from across the street, most likely trespassing. I arrived and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: began my search in the building. It used to be
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a two-story convenience store. Now it was completely stripped empty,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: except for the parts attached to the floor, like the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: counter and shelves. The lights didn't work in there either.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I checked every small aisle for anyone to possibly be
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: hiding in, and then I did the same thing upstairs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It was completely empty. On my way back into my car,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I looked back at the building and saw somebody at
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the window on the second floor. It was a woman
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: with long gray hair down past her shoulders. She was
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: no doubt looking down at me with a wide smile
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: on her face. I hurried back inside, making it upstairs
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in no more than ten seconds, but the window was clear.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: There was nobody in sight. I checked all three aisles
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: at least ten times. I checked behind the counter. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: checked the bathroom. It was clear. I was a little nervous,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: so I left again, thinking my mind was fooling me.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I looked back at the window, and there she was again.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: The same mockingly disturbing smile on her face. I went
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: back up there again, this time running around all three
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: aisles trying to find this woman. I was about to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: give it up once more and leave for good when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I noticed something in my peripheral vision. It was on
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the ceiling. A dark shade of black latched onto the ceiling.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I shined my light up there, and there she was.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That crazed woman looked at me, still with a horrifying
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: smile on her face as she held onto two hook-like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: objects in the ceiling with her hands. while her feet
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: were pushed up against the tile to gain support. She
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: laughed like a freak all the way down to the station.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she had some kind of mental
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: disability or not. It seemed like she was just toying
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with me, but not at all in a good way.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: She stared me down through the mirror the whole ride.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: In all my years of being a police officer in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Floyd County, Georgia, I had only experienced two horrifying situations.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'll share with you the worst of the two. It
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was a slow night, and I was patrolling the dirt
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: roads in my cruiser. At this particular spot, there were
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: tiny woods on both sides of the road. And then
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it all started. I spotted somebody jumping into the woods
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on the left. I only saw half of them, though.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They were gone so quickly. I pulled up closer and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: shined a spotlight into the woods. I didn't see them. Unfortunately,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it was kind of my job to check on things
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like this. So I hesitantly stepped out from the car
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and began searching. In a moment like this, I was
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: so ready to pull my gun, as I was actually terrified.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And then, the cliched snap of a branch from behind
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a tree almost made me want to run back to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the car, but I instead did my job and called
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: for them to come out. Someone wearing a mask stepped
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: out from the tree. I told them to raise their arms,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: take off their mask, and come to me slowly. They
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: raised their hands, but they didn't remove the mask. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: tried to demonstrate my authority by yelling this time, ordering
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: them to take it off. They looked as if they
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: were about to take it off, when suddenly, he or
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: she looked to their left, and then back at me.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I heard footsteps coming from my right. I drew my gun.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I yelled as loud as I could for everybody to
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: come out with their hands up. You may be thinking, why? Well,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: if you were in this position, in this setting, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: would have been shitting yourself just like I was. Another
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: person wearing a mask walked over. This one holding an axe.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I had my gun locked on him. But suddenly, footsteps
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: started coming from all directions. I looked around, and I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was surrounded. There were at least ten strangers wearing masks,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: surrounding me almost in a circle, with only an opening
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: behind me. Half of them were armed with axes and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the like. I stood there, I stood there, gun raised,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: but not even aimed at anything at this point. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: felt like I was going to throw up. One of them,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure which... finally broke the silence, telling me
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in a muffled, deep voice, Go away. My heart dropped
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: as he said this, in a way that I knew
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I was going to live. I turned and ran for
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the car, driving down the road half a mile, all
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: while calling for backup. As you would guess, the whole
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: group was gone from the woods when a search squad arrived.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I have a theory on this, however. I believe that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: what I witnessed was some kind of fucked up secret
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: society that was planning on trapping an innocent passerby, and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I think that whoever jumped into the woods as I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was passing recognized my car as a police car and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: tried to hide. Had I not been a police officer,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I believe they would have stopped me, led me to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the woods, and done whatever this group does for its
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: sick kicks. Thank you.
