Halloweens Approaching. Do you have a scarey story to tell?
In my county we didnt have a regular Juvenile Facility, they would house them in our Court House on the top floor. Every day during the weekday the Court House was open, of course, but would close at 5:00 pm. When the last person left the building they would always check to make sure all the doors were locked. But we had to have officers on duty 24/7 at the Juvenile Detention Center. I worked there for alot of years, the place all ways gave me the creeps. I'll try to explain the layout the best way i can.
It wasnt a big facility, we only housed 7 Juveniles at a time. At each end of the top floor, there were 2 spiral stairwells that both went down into different court rooms. Both, if you opened the doors leading into the stairwells, it was like looking down into a dark hole, the stairs spiralled almost straight down, both were cold and full of spider webs, they looked like something that came out of a horror film. They obviously hadnt been used in years.
One of the stair wells were located in the kitchen, and in the kitchen if your standing at the sink, right behind you were 5 cells that we kept the juveniles in, to the right of the 5th cell was the other door leading down one of the spiral stairwells. The other Stairwell was located at the other end where we had to go to do drug test when the kids were brought in. I would never go back there because it felt like someone was watching me.
One night one of the local Deputys brought in a kid, after we got him booked in an put in his cell for the night, he and i were standing there talking about how creepy the place was, I told him i thought it was haunted, thinking he would laugh at me and think i was crazy, he proceded to tell me that he had worked there a long time ago, but when he worked there it was only 1 officer to a shift, not 2 like it was when i was there. He said he was sitting in the Day Room one night, where the kids would watch t.v, Juveniles had gone to bed, and he happened to look towards the hall that leads into the kitchen where the juveniles were, and saw the Ghost of a little boy walking into the day room, looking down as he walked, and when the little boy looked up and saw the Deputy standing there, he turned around slowly, and walked back towards the kitchen. I asked him if he could tell what kind of clothes the little boy was wearing, time frame? He said late 1800's. Well that certainly wasnt something i wanted to hear, knowing i had to stay there all night!
Few weeks go by, didnt see any Ghost, but i had a few taps on the shoulder, only to turn around and no one would be there.
One night while working the night shift, myself and a male co-worker had got theJuveniles put to bed for the night, like i usually did, i would pull on the cell doors to make sure they were all locked. So i go down to the Day Room, after they are all asleep, to watch some T.V. Im sitting there for several hours, listening for any noice from the Juveniles. 3am rolls around, i hear foot steps walking up the hall coming into the Day Room, Im thinking its my co-worker as im listening to these footsteps. Then the foot steps stop! I have my back to the hall way, my chair facing the T.V. and after it stops walking it catches my attention, im thinking, "well hes standing behind me watching t.v" then i hear something bounce on the floor infront of me, like it was trying to get my attention! Im looking i cant find anything! My heart started to beat fast! I heard it bounce, what ever it was but i couldnt find it! I knew then that it was not my co-worker! Little did i know he was over in the corner in another chair behind me sleeping! I was so scared i couldnt even turn around to see what it was! Never have i ever been that scared in my life! I can still feel what ever it is standing behind me, then all of a sudden my co-worker starts to snore, and when he did, i guess he scared what ever it was and it started to RUN back up the hall towards the kitchen! I could hear every foot step as it was running on the old creeky floor. So i wake up my co-worker and tell him what just happened, he gets up and we both walk up towards the kitchen, the juveniles are all sound asleep, all the cells are locked. What was it? Who was it?!
The next day, when the other shift came in to releave us, i had told them all what happened, this place gave them the creeps too. They said "why didnt you turn around to see what it was Trish?"I couldnt! Its like my whole body froze up from fear! I couldnt move! I hope i never experience anything like that ever again!
They've since built a new building for the Juveniles. The top floor of the Court House is only an office for the Probation Officers. But i know its haunted. Theres something there, i just dont know what it is. I've often wondered if what ever it was, did it come from one of the creepy stairwells?....
