This was 3 years ago. I was a police officer in a small town for a short time and two weeks after I started I was called by my chief and told there was a dead body and that would be good training. I ran home changed into my 30 lbs of gear and headed over to the scene. I pulled up and my chief walked me around to the back of the house. We could see a foot motionless in the hallway. Ran around to the front and drilled out the lock and immediately could smell death. Went inside and saw him laying on the floor. He had been there for a month. After opening all the windows and me dry heaving a bit we waited for the the coroner to show up and remove him. After we searched the home for guns, drugs and anything illegal/legal that needed to be removed. I was in the basement searching through some boxes and out of the corner of my eye I could see the holo black shape of a person blocking out the sunlight coming in through the window. It looked like they were turned to the side looking over there right shoulder. As I turned to talk thinking it was chief they disappeared in front of me. I said “ nope” and left the house finding the chief outside waiting for me. I never told anyone I worked with for fear of having to retake my physiological test or be stair up fired.
