#9: But Why Spoons?
A nurse working at a senior care home noticed a strange pattern. Residents with dementia had started hoarding spoons. Not forks. Not knives. Only spoons. At first, it seemed like a harmless quirk. But soon, staff noticed every resident telling the same eerie story. They all believed that the spoons kept something away—something dark that came at night.
What made this unsettling was the shared details among people who didn’t communicate with one another. One resident even carved symbols into their spoon and insisted it was protection. When the staff researched the location, they discovered the home had been built on the site of a hospital destroyed in a massive fire decades ago. Whether coincidence or collective memory, the spoon hoarding hasn’t stopped. To this day, no one really knows what it means, but the night shift nurses swear the building still holds a strange energy.
