I work in a small mountain resort made up of semi private cabins. There’s about 30 cabins in all spaced out enough to feel like you’re alone in the mountains. I’ve had paranormal experiences in two of the cabins at this point, and while it’s nothing super crazy, yesterday left me feeling really spooked. This experience takes place in cabin number 30.
About 3 weeks ago I was deep cleaning cabin 30, so I was in this cabin for my entire shift. I was listening to a funny show on low volume, and over my earphones I heard what sounded like someone walking on the front deck. I opened the door and nothing was there. Keep in mind, I have worked here for awhile and can recognize any normal noises vs when someone is coming to the door. I chalked it up to my show and continued cleaning. I unplugged a nearby lamp, wrapped the cord around it and put it securely on to a table. I walked across the cabin then turned back towards the lamp to see the lamp cord unravelled and swinging off the side of the table, not a gentle swing as if it had unraveled somehow, like fully swinging with force. I froze for a second because I made sure it was in the center of the table secured, I don’t know how it could have slipped off and started swinging the way it was. Nothing else happened for the remainder of the day.
Cut to yesterday, I’m back in cabin 30 doing a regular clean. Again I’m listening to a show, completely forgot about the experience from the last time I cleaned the cabin. I’m wiping down the kitchen when I catch movement from my peripherals, so I turn around but there’s nothing there. I’m thinking it must have been a fly or something, I don’t know. I turn back towards the kitchen and start getting a very eerie feeling like I’m being watched. I’m a veteran in the feeling of being watched unfortunately (I lived in a very haunted house growing up, another story for another time). There is a light on the ceiling a little behind where I’m standing, and as I’m trying to ignore the feeling, suddenly a large shadow is cast next to me from the kitchen light on to the counter to the left of me. When I tell you I whipped around so fast thinking someone came in and I didn’t hear due to my earphones, only to find the cabin… empty.
I was so startled, my heart was racing and I once again just froze because what the heck. The shadow was clear as day cast directly next to me, I genuinely thought a maintenance worker had come in the rooms or something but it was just me. I left the room to get fresh air where I proceeded to have a mini freak out. I had to finish the cabin as someone was checking in so I went back in and just said out loud “I’m just here to clean and I’m almost done. Please just let me finish without any issues”. Did I feel insane? Yes. Did anything else happen? No, but I sped the rest of the way through.
Now when I go back in tomorrow I’ve gotten permission from my manager to sage the cabin. Any advice on how I should cleanse whatever bad juju is in there for my mental well-being. I’ve never done a sage cleanse but I will refuse to go back in there if I don’t.
