I had this pop up in my YouTube feed, I got to thinking, we have a few cops on this site and according to the comments in in this video from people who claim to be current or former cops, these paranormal events are common. So, to our cops and medics here, are paranormal events, especially at crash, murder or suicide scenes common? I spoke with a homicide detective here a few years ago, he had a lot of crime scene pics on his phone that he showed me, he said he's never seen or felt anything strange on the job. What's ARFCOM's experience?  Top TERRIFYING Paranormal Police Encounters: Scary Body Cam Footage |

I’m a retired firefighter/paramedic. I didn’t start having paranormal experiences until after I started treatments for PTSD. I will say full moons and summer nights are indeed a recipe for some wild shit. Also grief is powerful enough to kill an entire family, one person at a time. |

Quoted: I've worked in hospitals for almost 30 years, and never once have I experienced anything even remotely close to a paranormal event. No ghosts, no haunted rooms, or "spirits" floating by. Nothing. |

Town next over to where I worked would get 911 on calls occasionally from an old abandoned house, some times when they checked the exterior of the house they would note a light on upstairs, later on shift as they drove by they would notice that the light would be out. Heard a few stories about how a blue light would emit from the room while they drove by the house. No signs of entry let alone forced. The town where I worked you'd hear stories of shadows being seen as you'd take the patrol car in the cemetery. I never experienced anything. |

I think I remember many years ago here on ARF one of the cops said he 'd been called to a house at night where the owner or a neighbor said they saw someone in the house (Guy was older if I recall and lived alone, neighbors looked out for him. Anyway, if I'm remembering correctly, the cops got the guy out of the house and cleared and while they were standing outside with the owner / only occupant. One of the cops or all of them saw a young man inside the house walking from one of the rooms to the lounge (All the lights were still on), the cops ran into the house to get the guy but there was no one in there. |

One of my very first calls was a welfare check. This couple didn’t show up for church so someone from either the church or family called in the request. The house was way out in the country where we barely get any calls. I knock on the front door and no answer. I start walking around the exterior of the house. A side door that lead inside was standing open. There was a car parked right there also and its door was standing open. There was a box of ammo on the drivers seat. The little tray was pulled halfway out and some rounds were missing. I walk to the back of the house. There were two large glass doors allowing you to see into the living room on the right and a kitchen to the left. There were two people sitting on the sofa and the TV was on. From where I was I could only see the back of their heads. The female’s head was tilted down towards her lap. The male’s head was facing up towards the ceiling. Initially i’m thinking they fell asleep watching TV. But they didn’t respond when I knocked. The door was unlocked so opened it and started announcing myself. Still no response or movement. With the door open I could see them a little more clear and notice blood on the females shirt. And i think some on the sofa around the guy. I called for a second unit to head my way. I walked inside and around the couch. It was a pretty bad sight. Both had gunshot wounds to the head. The males hand was in his lap and holding a gun. It was later determined to be a murder/suicide. The husband shot his wife in the back of head. Then he sat next to her and shot himself through the mouth. Now for the spooky part. As I was standing there I heard what sounded someone ransacking another room. So I draw my Glock and move back the doorway where I entered and hold that hallway where the noise was coming from. The only way for this person to exit the house would be through me or one of the bedroom/bathroom window. I knew from walking around the exterior prior that there were only two screened in windows. When my back up unit arrived we started clearing the house. Down the hallway where I heard the noise, there was a bathroom and I think two bedrooms. I fully expected to find a living person, but nothing. We roped it off as a crime scene and all those units came and did their thing. To this day I wonder what the F that was. I was clearly hearing someone ransacking one area of a room. Then stomping to the other side of the room and ransacking something else. Ignoring my call outs.  |

The local hospital opens the room window whenever someone dies. My ex wife was an RN there and said bad things happen if they don’t. The older nurses were adamant about it. I’ve seen them do it but never asked further. I’ve known a couple of people that died alone in their closed homes with no ill effects I could see. Maybe it’s for the smell of evacuated bowels. |

Quoted: If paranormal stuff was actually real, the US government would've already weaponized it a long time ago. Always remember that. #1 How do you know they could weaponize it? #2 How do you know they haven't? Do you not see what's going on in the world right now? |

Medic. I was working a call. Sick kid. Long term illness. I had take him to the hospital a dozen times, I was on a first name basis with the mom. We get called for his normal sickness (had some copper deficiency disease) and we start packing him up. The wind shifted and blew cold air in the house. It was summer. It was like 85 degrees that night. The wind felt like it was 40 degrees. I look down at my monitor and see him convert into a asystole. His mom felt it too and she immediately began crying. I have also stood in rooms that felt off. Kevorkians office. Even though I support assisted suicide, it felt like a gloomy office. A room that a guy was tortured and killed in. I felt the room was sizing me up. Sounds weird, but it is what I felt. |

This reminds me of an account of an American airman I read in a book called flyboys. He was killed by the Japanese on the island of Chichi Jima after his plane crashed in the waters nearby. His older brother had been in the military too, the army I think, and his mother blamed the older brother for the younger’s death. The parents and older brother drank themselves to death in the coming years as I recall. |
| 20+ year LEO and never encountered anything paranormal. But I did enjoy listening to Art Bell when working midnight shifts. Also as a side note, some of those videos in OP’s post are completely fake (hotel security guard and screams from a room) or voices/sounds have been added after the fact like in the Watts video. I believe the only legit noise on the body cams was a giggling noise in a closet and that is believed to have been a doll and the child on top of the stairs was a friends daughter who was at the house when the police came by. The rest of the sounds have supposedly been added after the fact and made a life of their own and reposted so many times over you can’t tell which is the actual unedited body cam footage. |

A guy I was at the Academy with had paranormal experience later while on duty. His account was published in a Wisconsin ghost stories book. Never knew him to make anything up. I believe that what he said happened was what he experienced. I believe if you have a closed mine you don’t see. Don’t want to see. |
| I never experienced anything unusual while on scene or in my rig. But I swear to everything holy, the resuscitation room at Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit is 100% haunted. And not in a scary sense, but almost comforting?? Like the children know that I tried my best. |

My Dad who was a police officer back in the day used to tell a story about a Lenexa KS cemetery. The cemetery had a business of some kind(funeral home maybe) or a church on the property. They would get late night alarm calls and show up. He said that they would arrive and find a door unlocked. Quietly enter and hear a woman crying farther back in the building. As they would proceed into the building the crying would stop. They would search the entire building and find nothing. This apparently happened a few times over a 15-20 year period in the 80s/90s. |

Nothing. Me too. Worked as a Respiratory therapist for 32 years. I never saw anything but I've been with patients that saw dead family members or Jesus before they crossed over. |

My Wife is a Paramedic. She has been there when people move-on. She has held their hands, assured them of whatever they wanted to hear, even listened to a few confessions but she told me she has never seen anything she can’t explain at the moment of death. She is quick to clarify that doesn’t mean something doesn’t happen, she just hasn’t seen it. |

I've spent most of my career as a patrol officer on night shift. A few years back I worked a suicide, 25yo woman killed herself. Her 4yo daughter had died of cancer recently. I knew them fairly well because the father of the child had regularly abused the mother and we had arrested him on several occasions. She had finally left him about the time the daughter was diagnosed with cancer. About a week after working the suicide I'm parked in a parking lot at 3am, i hear laugter and look around, in my rear view mirror I see plain as day a woman in a blue dress holding the hand of a little girl who was wearing a white dress. They were about 30 yards behind my patrol car walking towards a playground. Weird for sure at that time of night but nothing crazy. I decided I was going to check on them, make sure they didn't need anything so I put my car in drive and turn around and there is no one there. No footprints in the dew, nothing. Thinking back to it the girl and woman looked like the mother and child. That's the one and only weird experience I have had, I don't park in that parking lot anymore because every time I do I think about it. |

My wife worked the preop/post op orthopedic hall. It was also used as the overflow ward. She said there was one room where none of the staff liked to enter. She said it was a very heavy atmosphere. Many of the patients who were wheeled into that room passed. She worked 3rds mostly, the rooms were always very lightly lit. Every so often the room lights would turn on as in all of the lights. Or the door would slam. The bed table would crash into the wall as if someone had shoved it. She said several times she would be walking down the hall and clearly hear talking but couldn't make out what was being said. Upon entering the room she would find it empty. She made the nurses promise that if she was ever admitted to never put her into that room. |
