One of the more "odd" holidays throughout the year brings children house-to-house in the quest for treats. Cable television channels hold their paranormal marathons, zombie shows crawl across our screens, and horror movie fans anxiously await the next jump scare.
To celebrate Halloween this year, Officer.com called out for law enforcement to share their paranormal experiences. These tales are collected below in five parts. Some have requested to be kept anonymous.
Enjoy! Stay safe and have a Happy Halloween.

Sometimes you'll find something you weren't looking for. Especially if you're doing security - alone - on the graveyard shift - in a haunted government building.

After missing without a trace for three days, one missing person appears suddenly, on a bridge, curled up ... and angry.
