Years ago I was a night shift security supervisor at the second largest shopping mall in the Chicago /Bloomingdale IL area. I can relate to some of your story but one thing that wasn't accurate is that mall security won't have access to the internal stores the internal stores are owned/leased by companies. If I was on patrol and I came across say an American Eagle store and the back door or the front gate was not locked we would have to call that particular stores key holder or manager to drive back into the mall. We would then also contact the Bloomingdale Police Department and when they all arrived we would then with the police and the store employee check the store to make sure that nobody was stealing anything resecure it and then they would clear the scene and we would continue on patrol. But in general not a bad little story. There's many times where I would be on patrol in that dark empty mall at night and I would have similar thoughts to what your story was about.. funny thing was if that happened to me in real life I wouldn't have quit like your protagonist I would have embraced it I would have became friends with the entity lol
@@CreepyStoriesJR Even though it's more cheesy than scary imo, I like the idea of the mall having good and bad entities instead of just ghosts and stuff
I've worked a lot of jobs on swing and graveyard shifts, including as a security guard. It's a time where a fertile imagination can drive you insane, and fighting that insanity is never easy. But the worst job, although I loved the work and the less crowded I-95, was driving an 18-wheeler. You see things nobody else would see. Sometimes it's beautiful, like a distant skyline, with lights. You know the city is still active in the small hours, but you go through a tunnel and find yourself bypassing the busy part. It's peaceful; even the static of CB channel 19 occasionally giving a blast from nearby truckers, but then you go a bit further. Nothing but darkness. No highway lights. No cars. Nothing but white lines flashing by. One night, travelling through Connecticut, I hit a route my directions had me exit onto, and even FM radio signals were mostly static. The lanes of each direction were separated by trees. I began to wish that my dispatcher had let me work local in Baltimore like I usually did, picking up loads at Lever Brothers in Dundalk and dropping them off at our terminal for the over-the-road drivers to pick up. I began feeling uneasy, but couldn't figure out any reason for it. Sometimes the feeling comes when there's a bad accident ahead. But again, no CB chatter broke the static, no emergency vehicles passed me. And this feeling wasn't like that anyway. Only a turn east on a route I can't remember (it was 1989: do you remember what that was like?? Neon was everywhere including rubber tubes for guys with spiked hair or mullets to fasten onto their sunglasses, bicycle shorts were a real thing, and music sucked) I began to breathe easier. Years would pass. Then I would learn how close I probably was to Dudleytown, a supposed haunted or cursed former town, claimed by woods. I know I had to have been off-route, but how'd that happen? Other creepy and tragic things happened. One night while approaching the Fort McHenry Tunnel from the south, where the interstate is elevated, I had a sickening, doom-like feeling in my gut. I slowed down, geared way down, and sure enough, blue lights were everywhere. I crept up and passed on the far right, and saw this car lying on its driver's side with the roof against the jersey wall. Toll cops were running along the wall, looking over it and down with their flashlights. Even driving a rig, I never thought that the north and south lanes were separate. I thought the concrete walls were what separated them. Not so: there's a big gap, and the driver had climbed out of her car through the passenger side window, climbed down to the wall, and then fallen 60-70 feet to an instant death. I did grow to finally hate night shit, which is responsible for a million horror stories, but none so horrible as real life. You've done a good job, though. I was keen to hear it all. I have no doubt that it has its roots in real life.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I couldn't do those kind of shifts because I fall asleep too easily and I always thought that people who have to drive at night for work should be paid more, at least. But if we put safety aside, it must be extremely fascinating to see things from such an unusual perspective
Imagine being a guard that's been used to all these creepy shit and working in that mall for years like these paranormal activity is just another tuesday, walking down the hallway while sipping a cup of coffee while being followed by mannequins
I turned, and then I heard it. Then I turned and then I saw it then I turned around and there it was then I turned and then I saw it. I ran and then I heard it. Then I turned around. And that's when I saw it. Suddenly I spun and then I heard what I saw
I saw what I heard and felt what I Knew as fear. My heart thundering in my chest I knew what I felt what I heard was a ghost from what i saw. Spinning around rapidly I heard it. Then I saw, felt and smelled the piss in my pants
In all fairness as a security guard; companies will hire anyone with a pulse and always need guards. Some of the smaller ones hire pretty fuckin quickly depending on where it is. AUS you can be in the door at your contract within a week.
Fr. Even companies that don't really specialize in security. I was 17, and my sister's friends asked me If I was looking for a job. Her mother ran a small hotel, and needed someone for 2 night shifts. Just hanging at the reception desk, and making sure people didn't try to get in the pool area, if drunk people make noise past 12pm, just call the cops. Said yes, her mother called me a few days later. Started the night after my interview. 2 night shift of sitting at the reception desk. Tought I was only getting those 2 shifts, but the boss ended up talking to me at the end of that 2nd shift like she would be trying to find me a spot somewhere. Fast foward a week, i'm now the kitchen dishwasher. Did that for 3 years, ended up becomming a cook. Quit during the pandemic, and now i'm working at an alluminium casting facility. Eyeing a woodmill job next 😂 But to think that I got my first rope in the job buisness being a "security" night watch is odd in some ways. But it seems like a good job to start up something in this world.
Great story but what my question is What did the janitor mean by you’ll figure it out or not, because clearly he didn’t figure it out whatever it is,”😭💀
Who wrote this??? I LOVE stories!!! I'm studying narratology and cultural anthropology, mainly myth, legends and folklore! This is really good, I was just wondering if anyone knows.
really enjoyed this video, great storytelling and it kept me on the edge of my seat! but honestly, I don't get why people would want to work as a nightguard in such an eerie place. I feel like it's just asking for trouble, right? like, what’s the draw?
this video was really engaging and well-made! i enjoyed the storytelling, but i can't help but wonder if some of the "rules" were a bit exaggerated for dramatic effect. i mean, it's a mall, not a haunted house, right?
OPTICAL ILLUSION ? UR GUARDIAN ANGEL HELPED U WT THAT "RULES N PAPER " F IT WERE NOT 4 THAT THEN DUNNO *** IT S ALSO GD THAT U JUST FOLLED THOSE RULES TILL THE REAL PERSON MANAGER KNOCKED ON THE DOOR. U WERE BRAVE ENAF TO DO THOSE ROUNDS AGAIN . DUTY CALLS
But it lowkey helps people get to sleep like it helps me alot bc when the story ends I can tell so then the silence puts me to sleep rather than another ad for a different video
Where do these writers live that security guards don't need training? You need multiple certificates and months of training to be a guard in Australia.
Not in the US. ARMED security you need certificates and such. But UNARMED security, nope. Pretty much need a clean record and a heart beat. At least that is the way it was the last time I did a security gig... decades ago. :)
Working night shift right now. 1am in a deserted parking lot having a smoke break... listening to this and looking all around... just in case...
I always felt safer with a lit cig in my hand when I worked alone at night 😂😂
Me too. It's now 1:56. The timing is just bad 😅
This narration gave me chills… i had goosebumps multiple times. Great story telling!!

Tell us all about... *whiplash*
The Janitor: The rules
The Guard: The rules?
The Demon: The rules
Your voice is perfect for horror. This was so chilling!
Glad you think so!
Creepy! My stomach would drop too upon hearing the phrase "What janitor?"
😂😂😂 I guessed it
@@munandstar
Just in time at 2:30 am while I'm trying to sleep, wowsers!
My post is the scariest
Maybe you'll not be able to sleep after this one
Same here brother
What country?
Yoo it’s 2:31 for me😭 we on the same bull shit ay
Great plot twist, seems the Janitor was a guardian angel of sorts.
❤
Or maybe he was part of the "game"
You need to watch more movies. The “plot twist” was a cliche I could smell from a mile away.
@@wiltmarlonelao Well, I didn’t try to hide the fact that the janitor wasn’t really human, it was more of a revelation than a plot twist.
@@CreepyStoriesJR Even though it's more cheesy than scary imo, I like the idea of the mall having good and bad entities instead of just ghosts and stuff
I listen to these stories a lot and none scare me much anymore but this one had my heart racing

I wonder wht happens if he just stayed in the Security room until morning
Apparently all the rules were just “mind ya business and there be no problem.”
As a mall manager myself, my security staff always has creepy stories to tell. I personally have one too.
Imagine being a guard that's been used to all these creepy shit and working in that mall for years like these paranormal activity is just another tuesday, walking down the hallway while sipping a cup of coffee while being followed by mannequins
You do such a good job! Even tone, no blasts of sound or volume. Perfect for dozing off to 😊!!! Thank you ☺️!!!
♥️♥️♥️😊
I turned, and then I heard it.
Then I turned and then I saw it then I turned around and there it was then I turned and then I saw it. I ran and then I heard it.

So.... five nights at Freddy's meets mall cop.
I would love to see Five Nights at Freddy’s starring Paul Blart.
That's a convenience store, not a mall.
Did anyone else think of weeping angels
Another great story. Thank you for sharing 🙂👍💖
I love the sound effects. Nice one! 👍
These creepy rule stories that always happen in night shift is ❤❤❤ because I also usually work night shifts. 😊💀👻
Oh wow!
What rules have you got?
@Verethill18 do not sleep at work which I usually break hahahhahaha 😅😆

I loved the Story, Doc U just keep Getting Better All the Time. Thx for the Ride ✌️💙
Im listening to this every night, please keep on posting 😂
This story hits the spot!
For sure, you wrote a good story and the narrator did a good job reading it to us. Very nice all around.
Very interesting story, author, keep up the good work!
dr. rules to follow stories and absolutely nothing else under absolutely no circumstances whatsoever at any time ever, wicked.
The ambient in your videos is the most disturbing I have ever heard through years of binging horror content
Love it
My blood ran cold, my blood ran cold, my blood ran cold
Bro's a cold blooded animal, a reptile.
Man this one is so good , listened to it while trying to sleep .
If I was him I would of stayed in the office after my first sweep 🤣
I was hoping something would go wrong even after following the rules, like the ghost would slip through the door of the security office.

Lmao this guys stomach is somewhere in his feet after all that dropping
I sent this story to the Fears to Fathom game developer team, hope they make a game from it.
This was so good! Just subscribed🤝
Sounds like Night at The Museum but more sinister 💀👌
We need to send RUclips ghost hunters there to record footages
It's a made up story
Thank you for scaring the absolute sh*t out of me! I really needed that!
That was good. A little bit of Twilight Zone Mannequin moving.
turns out the janitor was just an OOOOPTICAL ILUUUUUSSSION..... wut ?
ruclips.net/video/9TNcvfTPX0g/видео.htmlsi=XXv5qwVHeAgxxYmK
😅
This is really great. I really like it. I just wanted to know how you do it. Like do you have an app or? I’m just curious.
Wish this story made sense, would have been creepy
From Poland greetings
You have a great voice!
why would this mall ever need a night security guard? great story otherwise.
Kids, robbers, vandals etc.
Wow the audio book spinoff series for fnaf is pretty good eh
I’ll take a job like this.
boy this was scary
First one was FNAF 😂
Those are some easy rules tbh if you had a timer and a habit of checking watch at certain areas
Oh i forgot to add maybe some headphones for music
1:48Am working hotel night security about to start the video
So what was the janitor doing while shit was hitting the fan in the halls
Good ❤
Absolutely terryfying?
Are all your security guard stories linked going by the opening …?
Ah yes, just in time for bed!
I have recently narrated a couple of very disturbing true stories
@@NightmaresEcho1 just gave you a sub, now I get to watch your channel grow 👍
If I hear another Strange rule story again, I'll die a happy man 👍
Why this feel like finaf creepy pasta
Only one awake listening to scary stories. Great times. Just your voice isn't scary 😉😅
BEWARE! Dont read further bc stupid spoilers
I heard this one on another channel
Mfs always wanna not just follow the rules and live a long peaceful life
I enjoyed this creepy story!👍 Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤
Five night with Fredward
Don't look at them but if they move gtfo 😅 excuse me? if I see them move that means I was looking. I quit
Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is literally fnaf
Cool story and well read. Three double ad breaks though.
This story skips rules #2 & #7 ..
Rune #2 is to not look directly at mannequins after 12AM, and leave immediately if they move.
@GoodOleDFT How do you know it to be rule#2? If it's not in the story at all?
@jayceec3539 Pay more attention.
First
OPTICAL ILLUSION ? UR GUARDIAN ANGEL HELPED U WT THAT "RULES N PAPER " F IT WERE NOT 4 THAT THEN DUNNO *** IT S ALSO GD THAT U JUST FOLLED THOSE RULES TILL THE REAL PERSON MANAGER KNOCKED ON THE DOOR. U WERE BRAVE ENAF TO DO THOSE ROUNDS AGAIN . DUTY CALLS
Can I give you some critique?
Are these stories true?????
Fun story, shit ad break placement.
I had a recent very disturbing scary experience that i just posted to my chnl
mall? so why do i stare at this little shit gas station u got here
do better and put a fake mall atleast moron
ENOUGH WITH THE RULES' PASTAS
No! More Rules!
Life is all about rules mannnn
No we need more
No we don't.
So maybe listen to the others not the ones you're not into... what a concept
Why do you add two minutes of nothing at the end on every video? No credits or anything just end it XD
But it lowkey helps people get to sleep like it helps me alot bc when the story ends I can tell so then the silence puts me to sleep rather than another ad for a different video

He was already a security guard, but unemployed.
Also, I don't really think they care much about CV, when you're applying to work in "demon" hotel/motel/mall etc...
@@borisruzicic3049
You mean to tell me the mall has not one janitor?
I would had made friends with the ghost and the demons
Dude
That was an easy job, why quit?
Bro keep the bass nobody does that bro that’s absurd tired of these light voice freaks 😂
