Law Enforcement's Tales of the Paranormal

Oct. 31, 2018
Stories told and submitted by law enforcement officers willing to share their paranormal experiences from a UFO sighting, cryptid, ghosts, to haunting sounds from a basement.

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.

Reporting a Sighting
