We had this one old guy who liked to walk the halls of the facility at night. He was always so quiet. One night, I went into a resident's room and I started to hear soft whistling. I couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from. As I was leaving the room, I saw slight movement out of the corner of my eye. It was that resident, standing between the open door and the wall. He just stood there, softly whistling. Scared the holy crap out of me. It wasn't his room, so I took his hand and walked him back to his room. Took me several minutes to get my heart rate back to a normal beat.
