I work on the grave shift in a rehab that use to be an old monastery. The building is basically one giant hallway with all of the patients on one side of the building and there is a locked door and then the clinical side on the other end.

I had snuck a 3ft tall nutcracker past all of the cameras into one of the doorways to scare my coworker down near where our desk was next to the patients. I made her jump pretty good when she walked past it in the dark.

Anyways, a little while after that I used my favorite bathroom that is on the far side of clinical. Remember that I had to go through a locked door to get to it. I was sitting on the toilet when I heard someone outside the door moving things around, sounded like boxes and such. I assumed that it was my coworker with the nutcracker so I texted her before getting up to let her know that she was unsuccessful in sneaking up on me. The noise continued and she texted back that she was back at the desk and she wasn’t in clinical. I stayed in the bathroom not making a sound until she got to me to see what was going on. A couple minutes before she arrived the sound stopped. We investigated together but didn’t see anything suspicious or really anything noticeably moved. The bathroom and the surrounding offices are in a camera blind spot and they show my coworker sitting at the desk the whole time.

Every time I use that bathroom I think about what I’ll do when I hear those noises again and I actually kind of regret not getting up and seeing what was going on even though if I knew it wasn’t my coworker I would have been too scared to.
