Creepy Encounters I Had While Cleaning Up After Crime Scenes
A True Horror Story from My Time as a Crime Scene Cleaner I’ve cleaned up blood that’s soaked through old pine floors. I’ve scraped bits of brain tissue off tile, and carried mattresses that sloshed when you moved them. Working in crime scene cleanup isn’t for those with weak stomachs but honestly, it’s not the gore that sticks with you. It’s everything that comes after. The quiet. The strange little moments you can’t explain. People ask me about creepy encounters I’ve had on the job, and over the years, there’ve been plenty. But three of them still keep me awake sometimes. They weren’t the most gruesome scenes, not the worst I’ve seen by a long shot but they were the ones that made me feel something watching from the dark corners. Something that never really left.
