I worked as a CNA at an assisted living facility with a memory care unit. The facility was only a couple of years old when I started, but many co-workers claimed that it was haunted. I've seen black shadows, the elevator came down in the middle of the night with no one there, the door alarms would sometimes go off on doors that we never used, but my strangest personal experience was the time that I heard music that disappeared when I left a certain location.
I was working the night shift. There are only 3 people on duty during night shift; a CNA on the assisted living side (me), a CNA in the memory care unit, and a nurse. The CNA that is assigned to the memory care unit isn't allowed to leave the unit unattended.
The nurse and I were sitting in a tv area on the assisted living side. All of a sudden I heard loud old fashioned music in the distance. I asked the nurse if he heard it too, and he had this weird look on his face but he nodded his head yes. I thought that either he thought I was crazy and didn't hear the music or he was playing a prank on me.
I thought that a resident had their tv on too loud, so I went into the direction of where I thought the music was coming from, but the closer I got, the more it faded until I couldn't hear it anymore. I went in every possible direction looking for the cause of this music, and everywhere I went, it disappeared. After I realized that I would never find out where it was coming from, I had to sit in the sitting area (where it was loudest) and ignore it until it stopped. It lasted a few hours.
I could tell that the nurse I was with couldn't hear the music because he kept asking if it was coming from here or there, he didn't seem interested in the situation but tried to help me find the cause and he was acting weird. After a while it was apparent that he wasn't playing a joke on me because he was with me the whole time. There's no way he could have made the music disappear like that. Besides, I'm sure he would have told me by now if he had something to do with it, isn't that part of the fun of pranking someone?
