"The Toilet Ghost"
"When going to college, I, like most of my friends, was broke...I tried job after job to meet the financial needs of my drinking habits, entertainment expenses and of course, rent. But I could never find a job that I liked, it was either too boring, didn't pay enough..blah, blah, blah.
One day, my friend told me of a job where you would care for mentally handicapped people who were discharged from the local mental hospital a while ago.
I had relatively, no experience with these types of people, but I was willing to take on anything at that point. The position that I was hired for was an overnight shift.
Basically, I would stay up all night, watch for emergencies with the clients, help them to the bathroom, and get them up in the mornings. Pretty easy work. I could even do my homework there.
One night, I was sitting in the kitchen studying for an exam and I fell asleep at the table.
I must have been sleeping pretty hard core, but I do know that I heard someone shuffling down the hall to the bathroom, stop by the kitchen, stare at me and then continue on their way.
I woke myself up and groggily stood, then made my way to the bathroom to check on the client. I was in a pretty good daze, but I remember stopping at the bathroom door and peering in...
It was dark, but I could see the shape of a man sitting on the toilet rocking back and forth. I cleared my throat and asked the 'man' if he needed any help.
As I asked the question, he looked up at me and gave me the spookiest stare!
I will never forget it, cold, vacant and slightly insane.
He was drooling and I could see that he was missing teeth through his lunatic grin.
I stared back at him and was horrified to realize that I didn't recognize him. There are only 5 residents in a house and this man was definitely not one of them.
I backed away from the door and started to shake and became cold. The man dropped his gaze and continued to rock back and forth on the toilet.
I turned and started down the hall to the bedrooms, turning on every light on my way down. I checked every room on that floor and everyone was in their beds, sound asleep. There was one guy who slept downstairs, but I just knew that he'd be in bed, fast asleep.
As I passed the bathroom, I forced myself to look in, and sure enough, the toilet was empty, there was no proof that anyone had been in there!
I raced downstairs, practically in tears from my fright, only to find that client was fast asleep, tucked into bed the same way I had left him, four hours earlier.
By this time, I am freaking out and ready to call it quits and just leave! But I stuck out my shift, with every light on in the house, and the television blaring.
In the morning, I told my supervisor what had happened, and I saw her face go white and she looked as I had felt that night.
She told me to explain what he looked like, and when I did, she went to the bookshelves and pulled out a huge folder.
In the folder, was the past history and medical files of a man named John who had lived there, but died of intestinal problems the year before.
He apparently was a rocker..especially on the toilet.
The past staff had problems getting him off the toilet in the middle of the night, because he liked it there.
As I looked at the picture next to the medical files, I recognized the same smile...toothless, drooling and slightly insane.
I wish I could say that I quit that job, but hey, the money was great!
(I just switched to a daytime shift!)"
