Summary
An old workplace begins to empty.
The staff are moved out, the corridors fall quiet, and the night shift is left behind.
Then the building starts to change.
This deeply atmospheric listener account follows Carole, whose ordinary night-shift role in a former mail-order company building became something far stranger after most of the workforce relocated. With only a handful of people left inside the vast old offices, unexplained activity began to surface: objects moving, taps turning on by themselves, footsteps in empty corridors, phone calls from disconnected rooms, and the repeated appearance of a blonde-haired woman seen by more than one witness.
As Carole, the caretaker Darren, and other members of staff begin comparing their experiences, a darker pattern emerges — one involving a basement no one wanted to visit, a faceless figure in the toilets, strange clicking sounds in the depths of the building, and a black mass moving through corridors where no one else should have been.
Blending workplace haunting, witness testimony, poltergeist-like activity and the eerie atmosphere of a building slowly being abandoned, this episode explores what happens when ordinary people are left alone with something they can’t explain — and whether some places only reveal themselves once the noise of everyday life has finally gone.
