Hi all – fantastic thread!

So, my story comes from my father – a retired policeman in Northern Ireland. The story originates when he was working the night shift in a police station based in a sleepy little village in County Down. The police station was a former private residence and is a four story building – my dad would often refer to it as a huge dungeon of a place and I know it creeped him out. He isn’t a religious man or a believer in the paranormal. I have been in the station many times and it truly has a very creepy vibe. The basement was used for changing and locker rooms and general storage (cones / signage etc); the ground floor was the public face of the police station and had interview rooms along with a small kitchen to the rear; the first floor were offices and lastly the second (top) floor was the ‘rec’ room and had a pool table / dart board etc.

As was routine during quiet periods on night shift, the officers would take turn at sleeping for a few hours on the top floor of the station in the rec room. There were a row of chairs against the wall in this room and this was used a makeshift bed. Whoever was ‘sleeping’ would always have a police radio beside them at the time, while the other office remained on the ground floor undertaking paperwork (or drinking coffee). The only ghost story I ever heard and the only time my dad ever spoke of ghosts related to one night he was on night shift.

My dad was sleeping in the rec room, on his side along the chairs, he was facing the wall. He woke up at approximately 3am to the room being ‘horrendously cold’. He thought something was up with the heater in the room so went to turn to see what was wrong. He found himself ‘frozen’ in place, he describes it like paralysis. He said he lay there for what felt like a few minutes – fully awake but paralysed with freezing cold temperatures present – where he could see his breath. All of a sudden, the ambient temperature of the room returned normal and he was able to move – he swiftly bolted upright, exited the room and ran downstairs. He didn’t see anything, but knew something was present in the room with him.

After doing some research on the paranormal, in the presence of a poltergeist, sub-zero temperatures and temporary paralysis are often experienced!

that really sounds like sleep paralysis to me

Have to agree

I know somebody who I trust who told me this story. It is second hand but at least it is something.

So this person was on holidays on an island with a friend during the autumn. One night after they left their hotel to explore the island a bit more with their friend they got their dinner and headed off to explore. While they were exploring the weather changed and it got misty and foggy. (Classic )

At this point they were asking anybody who they met for directions back to their hotel. It turns out they were heading the wrong way in the end and they were walking along this road and all of the sudden this man with a dog came out of the fog ahead of them coming towards them. They were taking turns in asking people where to go and as there was only two of them, it was her friends turn. They walked past and about two minutes later she asked her friend "Why didn't you ask him?" she replied with "Who?" It turns out that the person I know saw the man and the dog and her friend did not. The man and the dog walked right past them so I do not think that her friend just did not see the ghost. Personally I believe the person who told me this.

I personally tried to find anything about the location or any ghost stories on that island but there was nothing. Think of it what you will.

For anyone looking to record video/sound at night, have you looked into an app on your phone? I few years ago I was experiencing sleep paralysis every night while staying in a friends family house. I was curious to hear if I was making noise during it as I was constantly trying to scream out for help while it was happening. Downloaded an app on my phone which turns on when any sound is made. It was actually fairly sensitive and it saves you having to listen or watch hours of footage of what might be nothing at all!

Any chance you know the name of it?
