My story begins....it was a cold dark, foggy night...OK, i shall stop and be sensible now.
The building i work in was built in the 1870's, it has most of the original foundations intact, since being built it has always been used as an engineering site, through WW2 it was used to make army supplies as were most factory sites. Walking around the building is like going back in time, old war bunkers and steps below the windows that were used for snipers, the place is steeped in history.
Throughout the years many people have reported strange goings on, the usual noises and shadows that scare people witless when they are on their own.
One man who still works there today has been filling me in on the happenings, he is a well respected man with reputation for not being someone who tells tales, the experience he had was kept to himself for quite awhile, he was worried about the reaction he was going to get, so here is his story....
The gentleman concerned was working a late shift in the winter, he started his shift at 5pm as usual nothing strange or out of place happened in the first few hours. An hour before the end of the shift it was his responsibility to go around the factory and make sure all the lights were switched off in the offices, as he walked the corridor to the main office he said he felt like you do if you know someone is standing near you, as he turned he saw nothing and thought no more about it, he came out of the office turned the lights off and began walking down the corridor.....he then told me as he came to opening the door he turned to face the wall to the left hand side and saw a man walk through it.
I have to admit myself I'm a believer in ghosts and spirits, but i really thought he was winding me up, until i saw the look on his face and told me the rest of the story. The corridor that he was walking down didn't originally exist, about 5 years before this incident renovation had taken place, just a wall an a door existed, and as some of you might have guessed, the door used to be in the same place where the gentleman saw the man walk through .....spooky.
I have to admit it is a strange place to work at night, i like to walk about on my own, dare myself to go into the darkest places, usually to be scared half to death by the lads i work with....but there have been occasions that have given me abit of a fright for example, I'm the only female there at night, to get to the ladies toilets you have to go through a separate building, one that none of the chaps i work with would have to go through...and before you say anything, they wouldn't dare follow me i wear steel toe capped boots muhahahaha....anyway, i have been in the toilets and have heard the door, to me it sounds like its opening, and there isn't a sound of footsteps like there would be, its a mental grid floor, so there would be sound..... but i could have an overactive imagination.....if it was just that i could believe that option..but, i have stood with 3 other lads i work with and we have all been witness to machines turning on by themselves, this...thankfully doesn't happen very often and of course there could be a perfectly reasonable explanation, all machines have gremlins, faulty wiring etc, but these machines are serviced on regular occasions and nothing has ever been found to be wrong..so mystery still not solved.
Last, but not least, 4 years ago a gruesome murder happened there, I'm not detailing it as gruesome for wow factor, to me it was an appalling crime and fortunately the culprits were found.
As most work places they have a shutdown over the Christmas period, like always 4 years ago my work place done the same, hired in some security to look after the place.....first mistake, after the holidays were over everyone returned back to work as normal, 2 days into the working week news reports on the radio told of a body that had been found in a nearby field, the body had been shot, stabbed then to try and cover their tracks they tried to burn the body...not nice i know. Investigations into the murder took place, whilst they were looking around the surrounding area a small partially burnt piece of paper was found, the piece of paper contained on it a last name and partial company name with a medical symbol on it.
It was traced back to where i work, the piece of paper was a yearly medical letter that's sent out to employees.....i hope I'm not boring you with this but i felt it was important to include.
OK, so it was traced back to my place of work..fast forward....they searched the medical room we have and low and behold after spraying their magic liquid and turning off the light, blood was found to be everywhere, floor to ceiling...they had tried to conceal and clean up, but not a great deal, it turned out to be the security guard they had hired for the shutdown and a friend of his, lured the man there..personal disagreement, and done what they done.
The events after this have been a lil worrying, objects have been seen to move in the medical room, its no wonder why everyone has high blood pressure when they go in there, it has a some what un-natural feeling, but that's all i have felt, others have said they feel really cold...but is this because its fresh in your mind of what happened there? or could this spirit still be dwelling in the med room? I'm not experienced enough to take the challenge on of trying to contact the spirit (if present) besides...im a wussy.
It would not surprise me at all if there was a restless soul about, such a violent end.
Well thats all folks *looks up* omg are you still awake.
