years ago I got a job at a group home here in the California town that I live in, after hearing many stories from other employees, witnessing the creepiness factor of the old mansion I moved to the graveyard shift and that is when everything changed.
This house was at another level with the paranormal entities openly showing what they were up to, during my training week I remember always being watched and the feeling always of having a "spider web" falling on me, this spider web feeling was something that you would experience every once in a while and we used to call it "going thru a ghost" as there was also a lot of static electricity appearing out of nowhere when this event happened.
most of the times there was this little ball of grey moving energy, something that I called "the campfire" as it would move (when it was static) the same way a fire does when a campfire's flames dance, this little entity or entity would watch you from the doorways and quickly move away when you approached, behaving more like a feral cat is the best way to describe its behavior.
This was a very creepy mansion, with red carpets, drapes, stained glass inside the house and mirrors in the ceiling of some rooms and if that was not a scary factor to begin with the events that used to take place there were outright from a scary Hollywood haunted house movie.
Many times, even during the day me and others witnessed things that defies explanations, a shadow forming in the corner of a wall rapidly expanding and traveling to the other end of the wall then disappearing into a blinding flash of light was one o the things that would happen often, doors would open without you noticing almost always when two people were having a conversation only to slam shut leaving everybody with their mouths open.
working overnight the activity seemed to peak and it used to go like a roller coaster having weeks of the usual things to then end up in a 3 day all out show for everyone to witness.
Most nights around 3 am I would sit and play a game on my phone, I could clearly see this white torso body shape thing appear in one of the reflections of the window, I knew it was watching me and it knew I was watching it yet as soon as i tried to look straight at it or even set a trap pointing my phone and pretending to be playing so that I could record it it would move away showing a funny intelligent side of the scary event.
I had always had nerves of steel for the paranormal so some nights I would completely shut off all lights of this somewhat enormous mansion and wander around looking to see if I could capture or connect with an entity, sometimes I did have right down creepy experiences but most of the time they waited it out so that they could strike when I least expected it, kind of like when i was actually busy doing something i needed to do.
i had a couple of overnight experiences with other people as we were supposed to have (2) workers but because of the paranormal stuff everybody seemed to quit in a week or less.
One night as I was looking through a medications record book a lady that was training with me froze in place while she was walking to the bathroom, when i lifted my head i could see thru the creepy stained glass the led to the entrance hall a man maybe about 7 feet tall standing there facing the other way and as soon as I ran to see who was there all i found was darkness and silence.
We could sleep sometimes while we had our night shift but this only led to strange dreams of being inside the place seeing people and things that were not there and in many occasions I seemed to have jumped from having a dream to actually opening my eyes and seeing somebody just walking by.
The kitchen seemed to have a life of its own as sometimes when you walked away every single cabinet door, drawers would be open defying laws of nature by happening in as little as 5 seconds, most night they entities would start by making a noise of what we could describe "someone dragging a chair" across the floor on the other side of the double doors that separated one of the living rooms/kitchen and the creepy entrance hall.
some of those experiences followed me home as I had a couple of events where I was not home and my roommate at the tie described hearing someone coming home, doing the same routine I would do then turn on the stairs light to go up and everything going completely silent.
This place became familiar the ghost/entities became familiar and I cant really describe the feeling but it was just like we all "got used to each other" and off course they would perform their feats, sometimes scaring the hell out of you by appearing or blowing in the back of your neck, but for me it became something normal, something that I experienced for many years, and when I finally left that place to move on to another job I know they missed me too, I had dreams of the house and entities waving at me, calling me to come back and no this was not terrifying, it was sad as I had a warm feeling when i had these dreams and above all I had sadness and nostalgia for leaving them.
I don't expect everybody to understand how you would become so attached to a place that for others it will shear terror, I did go back to visit the house a few times while it had been sold as it laid empty I walked thru its corridors one last time, and like I always told others (if I have had the money to buy that place I would of have done it in a second), the energy from these place and entities filled me with a feeling of joy and feeling kind of like I have filled an energetic missing part of me.
I wish the new people who moved into it a good relationship with its entities, and many many years of good energetic living as living with entities can be a bit complicated I know that these entities were good and they were maybe just trying to fill others with a bit of joy while they stayed their possible eternal stay at this little big haunted magical place.
