The Graveyard Shift A Dark and Twisted True Story Subscribe!
Not in a million years did I ever think I'd be working the late-night shift at McDonald's. One
stormy night, Mike and I were working at a 3 a.m. I worked the drive-through, he prepared the food
back in the kitchen. Most of the time there were barely any customers that came through and the
ones that did were mostly cab drivers or police officers. Anyways, I was cleaning the counter when
the alert came in letting me know that there was someone at the speaker ready to order. "Welcome
to McDonald's. What can I get for you tonight?" I asked. All that came through my headset was heavy
breathing. I didn't think anything of it because sometimes we did get weird people that came
through. Mostly were teenagers pulling pranks. That kind of stuff was expected to happen on the
graveyard shift. I cleared my throat and repeated my question "Welcome to McDonald's. What can I
get for you tonight?" I asked. Again, nothing but heavy breathing. I went back in the kitchen
and told Mike that it was just another silly prankster trying to scare us. He just giggled,
shook his head, and continued making sandwiches. When I got back up front it was dead silent. I
just figured whoever it was had gotten tired of [ __ ] around with us and left. I felt
relieved. I just went back to my cleaning then the bell rang again "Welcome to McDonald's. What
can I get for you tonight?" I asked, but once again no voice just heavy breathing,
but this time it was much faster and heavier as if the person was having some sort of asthma attack.
Then I started to freak out because what if this was some elderly person having an actual asthma
attack and needed medical attention? I leaned out of my window to see if I could see anything,
but all I could see was an old scary-looking van with dark tinted windows and blinding headlights.
I yelled to Mike and asked him if he could go out and check to make sure the customer was OK.
At first he said HELL NO it was storming outside, but since he was about to take a cigarette break
anyway he decided that he would investigate the situation as he grabbed his jacket and headed
out. Then ALL OF A SUDDEN, I heard a loud scream coming from outside, as if someone was in pain and
it sounded like Mike. When I ran out to see what the issue was all I could see was the car speeding
off into the distance and there was no sign of Mike anywhere except for his hat that lay there
on the ground. That was the last time I saw him and no one has seen him since. Needless to say,
I put in my weeks notice to leave at the end of that same week. Subscribe and thanks for watching!
