View Full Version : Wooo00hhh Spooky !
A little while ago at the start of my night shift I was rummaging around in the office looking for some holiday forms when I found a key under a couple of A4 size books in a file tray. Thinking nothing of it I put the books back on top of the key and continued my search. 04.50am and I am updating the trailer movement database (as you do) when the very same key landed with a clatter on my desk. Understandably I sh#t myself and since then we have a few incidents of doors opening on their own and footsteps being heard in the office when no-one is walking around. I just wondered if anyone else had any similar spooky incidents at their work. :smt101

Not so much spooky as bloody scary.
Was walking up the stairs at work when I heard a wolf whistle come from reception.
Turn round to see a rather stereotypical builder type (Aircon Engineer as it turned out) looking at me and I'm not sure which of us was more freaked out.
Me being whistled at by a large hairy bloke or him realising that a pony tail didn't automatically = female and he just whistled a guy in public.

Apperently I did some work yesterday..........Scary!;) :D
Only last night, there were 3 LOUD bangs in quick succession, they sounded like they came from out back of the house. I checked, no-one there. So I chalked it down to the rabbit chasing it's own tail in the hutch just by the window (the lounge window was open a little - and rabbits chase their tails just like dogs, don't they?)
A while later, went to give my daughter a kiss, as I do every night :oops: as she's fast asleep. I turned around, and that's strange, the cupboard above her wadrobe is open, that's never open, I'll shut that whilst I'm here. It's too high for any of the kids to reach it, and I know jen didn't open it because there's nothing inside it (there never is, what with it being out of reach).
So I pushed it shut, and because it's a little tight (ooo-errr) didn't shut it the first time, so second time, gave it a bit of a shove, and BANG. Shut. Shut tightly for that matter. All parents reading this will be well aware of the "must get this done but REALLY don't want to wake her up" principal. But it got shut.
It was only as I walked away that I thought "bugger me, that's the EXACT same noise that we heard earlier!"
This morning, went into her room for a minitue to wake her up before I set off to work, turned around & looked at the cupboard. Guess what?
Nope, was still shut. Had you going though didn't I? :smt043

Ooooooooooooooooh... neat! :D oooooEEEEEEooooo...
Erm.. the file tray doesn't happen to have holes in it does it?... Is it one of the raised ones and is it on ur desk? The key, could have taken a little time to dislodge and drop through after you'd shifted things around.

No the key actually seemed to appear at ceiling height, I think it was the movement which caught my attention and by the time I saw what it was it bouncing on the desk
Awesome! :D
Set up a camcorder. :cool: Take a few photos with a camera too... U never know what might show up.
Have you managed to work out what the key opens - something maybe trying to tell you... something.

Nah, it was just a key off a fork lift or something similar, nothing special ,unless a ghostly fork lift driver is telling me to change the gas bottle or something ! I ,m going to work now actually....lets all hope and pray I make it safely home..........:shock: :shock:

Maybe someone used the fork lift to dump a heavy chest of gold bullion somewhere in the building then died and is trying to pass it onto you from beyond the grave?

The hospital I work in is built in about 1890 so I kinda expected spooky stuff to happen but I had worked in my ward for 2 years before I noticed anything.
I was night shift and we were packing up the ward to move to another one so ours could get done up. Me and one of the other nurses were in the day room cupboard boxing up stuff when she went through to answer a buzzer, heard her leave and thought no more about it. The doors into the day room were realy squeaky so you can hear people going in and out, I thought I heard footsteps and shouted to the other nurse "is that you back" no reply, when I went to look no one was there, so I continued packing, heard more footsteps, again checked no one was there, then a big bag of inco pads fell off the shelf and the tiolet flushed itself!! Needless to say I bolted out of the day room and wouldnt go back in there for the rest of the night.
The ward we got moved into was worse, all night taps would go on and off by themselves, buzzers would go off at empty beds and the bathroom lights would go on and off by themselves, by the time morning came most of us were nervous wrecks and no one would walk up the ward by themselves.
Hospitals and night shifts are brilliant for spooky stuff happening, most of it can be put down to the fact you are exhausted though:cool:
When i worked at woolworths we all said the stock room was haunted, boss never belived us until one night;
we were all downstairs, ready to go when you quite clearly heard footsteps go across the stock room-boss looked round, noted we were all there and decided that he had better believe what we had been saying!

My aunty lived in southport and her place was like something out of the poltergeist movie. My uncle unfortunately commit suicide in the late 70,s and I am not saying there is a connection but a lot of wierd stuff used to happen in that place after he died. All the classics really, covers being pulled off, objects flying through the air etc.. she put up with it for probably 20 yrs before moving on. She used to lose her temper and shout at whatever was going on and it would go quiet for a week or two then start up again.More guts than me whatever was going on.

I miss it to a degree. it just became normal.. was unpleasent when your friends would never stay over and i could never get anyone to feed the animals if we went away but there are down sides to everything. ;)
Yeah kinda know what you mean , I saw a couple of things at my aunties that defied logical description, but never felt anything malign was invoved, was just a bit bizzarre

Personally I don't really balieve in all that that ghostly type stuff, but I did get realyy spooked one night a long time ago.
During the 1st Gulf war I was in the RAF stationed in Germany, at RAF Wildenrath, and when the air war kicked off and we were all waiting for the ground war to start, the personnel office that I worked in went onto 24hrs manning as we were a CASUALTY REPORTING AND HANDLING CENTRE for any returning dead/injured.
I got shafted for a Friday nights shift in the office while everyone else was out on the P**S. There was a s**t load of videos to watch, so there I was at about 1 - 1.30am watching PREDATOR with my feet up on the desk at one of the more "TENSE" moments of the film when one the printers about 3 feet behind my head burst into life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I will say is that from that moment on I am of the opinion that adrenalin is brown, very smelly and eminates from your anus.:oops:
Wildenrath ? I was there from 80-84 in m.t. small world eh, wouldnt want to paint it though ! :p

Many years ago I was walking through town, as I was passing WH Smiths, the huge display window started to make a wobba wobba noise, and then exploded outwards, spraying me with tiny squares of glass. Everyone froze, nobody did anything. Totally unhurt, and kind of embarrased, I shook myself down and carried on. Later that night, I was walking home from the pub. I was crossing the small town car park, when some chav type came tearing round the corner in a volvo, it looked like he was trying to get it to drift. He lost control, heading straight towards me - I had to jump clear, he stuffed the volvo into several parked cars. What **** me up the most was waiting for the third event... which never came. (This was long before the movie 'Final Destination')
Not quite on topic but I'll tell my little story anyway.
First let me set the scene. I was in my early teens. In those days we played out on the streets without the need for our parents to worry what might happen to us. The doors to our houses were hardly ever locked.
So on to the story. All us kids were out playing. It was dark outside so it must have been winter time. My mum was in the house on her own and she was expecting me to be the first in. I came in via the back door as normal. Now if you were to stand at the front door of my house you would see through the hallway and into the kitchen, should that door be open, and all the way through the kitchen to the back door.
My mum was in the downstairs toilet to the side of the hallway. She heard the back door being opened and naturally called out and asked if it was me had come in. I don't really know why, but I decided not to answer. Again I heard my mum call my name, but again I did not answer back. Eventually my mum finished in the toilet and came out into the hallway. She must have looked through the hallway into the kitchen and seen the back door still wide open as I had left it when I came in. She did not see me because by this time I had hidden myself in the cupboard under he stairs in the kitchen. I lay in wait in my hiding place. My mum got to the the kitchen door and again called out my name. After not receiving a response she decided to go through the kitchen and close the back door.
As she passed the cupboard that I was hiding in I jumped out and shouted "Arghh" and grabbed her shoulders.
She just stood there and started screaming. She wouldn't stop screaming. I touched her again to try and reassure her that it was me but this made things worse. She screamed even louder and just wouldn't stop. I didn't know what to do. Nothing I did would make her stop screaming. In fact everything I could think of just made things worse and worse.
My neighbour heard the screaming and came bursting through the door and into the kitchen, well this had the desired result. She made one final ear piercing scream and fainted. My mum still hasn't forgiven me I think. She did however get her revenge.

Hehe last time I spooked my mum was accidental and I won't do it again.
Coming home about 3am from a heavy clubbing session in Camden (Must of been about 18) and coming up my drive I saw my mum by the front door dropping some trash into the bins (our whole familly are night owls and she's often out as late if not later than me).
I walk up expecting to say Morning, how was your night.
I get within arms reach when she lets out an ear piercing scream, spins round, and brains me with a big bag of rubbish which splits open covering me in stuff that by the smell, I really don't want to identify.
As I'm standing there in shock she bolts for the front door....and locks me out (If you double lock the front porch by pulling the handle up the key won't work)
Took me about 5 minutes of talking through the letter box to get her to come back out and let me in.
Moral of the story?
If your going to walk up behind someone at 3am in the morning at least take the black hood and gloves off so you don't look like a mugger.
.... She made one final ear piercing scream and fainted. My mum still hasn't forgiven me I think. She did however get her revenge.
How - we need to know :cool:

OK, here goes.
My mum used to cook her own jam. Part of this process involves boiling the jam and scraping off the scum that develops on the top. She used to scrape this off and put it on a plate next to the pan.
My sister and I came home from school to find my mum making was in the process of making more jam. She was not in the kitchen but the plate with this "scum" was. As quick as a flash my sister and I ate all the scum, then went into the front room to watch the TV.
A few minutes later my mother came rushing into the front room with utter panick wanting to know who had eaten the scum. Both my sister and I gave the automated answer of "not me". My mum said in a very convincing voice that the scum was posionous and that is why it is removed from the jam. She pointed out that this could lead to dire consequentes such as chronic stomach upset and even death. She asked again who had eaten the scum and both my sister and I stuck up our hands as quick as we could.
I am now convinced I am going to die a horrible death for eating the scum and my mother tells me that I need to drink salt water quickly to dilute the scum, I might then have a chance. She gave me a pint of water laced with plenty of salt and the invetibale happened. I was a sick as a dog. My sister viewing all of this then decided that death would be a prefered option to what she had just witnessed and refused to drink the water.
After I recovered from retching into the kitchen sink, I turned round to see my mum sitting at the table with tears of laughter pouring down her cheeks.
We have a human shaped shadow that crosses past our frosted kitchen door then the conservatory door, only there's a locked 6ft gate between the two. I thought it was my imagination, but my wife and daughter have seen it too.

Cool, how often does that happen then ?:smt087
I've seen it twice, Mrs Mogs more often. Not really scary, just odd. It doesn't set off the PIR light yet when we go to look we do.
Wow, thats a bit scary, good luck with that !
