I once had a job where I worked at night on my own in an old renovated building that had been used as a morgue during the second world war. The odd member of staff would say to me on occasion ' I don't know how you can do that.
It did get to me after a while. The creepiest place for me wasn't the basement where the bodies had once been kept but upstairs in the attic where the creche was. I'd have to set the alarm system before leaving and there was always somewhere I'd have to go to close a door or window. When the creche showed up my heart would sink. There was always a quiet hissing noise from the air conditioner or something and shelves of toys and dolls
It was an old building and there was always the odd noise or two as well.
I eventually left but they wanted me back so I had a chat with the manager, not about the creepiness though. I just said I'd come back if I could change my hours and come in with the morning staff. It worked out fine after that. I think once you get the creeps, that's it!
