Did It Really Happen Or Was It Just Suggestion? Imagine the situation. You´re a radio presenter working for a not very famous radio station. You work at night, and the radio station can´t afford a sound technician, so you have to do both jobs. That means that you´re the only person in the building at that time. This was the work routine of a radio presenter who went through a very scary situation. Since she started to work in that building, she used to hear the noise made for the lifts , as if they were moving. This was an imposible situation because there wasn´t anybody but her in the building. She tried to ignore it, thinking that maybe it was her imagination. Additionally, when she was in the middle of her programme, she claims that she could hear clearly, quick footsteps approaching the studio door. She had to make an enormous effort to control herself and not to shout in the middle of her programme. As well as that, she assures to have seen the figure of what appeared to be a child, a very hazy figure. She only could distinguish his arms and shoulders, but this child talked to her and she could barely understand him. This situation began to drive her crazy, and she got really anxious. She didn´t know what to think about it. All the events aforementioned happened to her on a regular basis, so you can imagine how worried she was. Her life was becoming a complete mess. It wasn´t until she had a conversation wit some workmates, that she found out that everybody working there had lived experiences very similar to hers. In the end, she got a job offer from another company and had no doubts in accepting it. Even today, more than fifteen years later, when she talks about that situation her voice is trembling, and she assures that she wouldn´t enter that building again for the world. My question is, how would you react if something like that happened to you?

Imagine this situation. You´re a radio talk show host working for a less famous radio station. You work at night, and the radio station can´t afford a sound technician, so you have to do both jobs. That means that you´re the only person in the building at that time. This was the work routine of a radio presenter who went through a very scary situation.
Since she started to work in that building, she used to hear noise made by the lifts , as if they were moving. This was an imposible situation because there was nobody but her in the building. She tried to ignore it, thinking that maybe it was her imagination.
Additionally, when she was in the middle of her program, she claimed that she could hear clearly, quick footsteps approaching the studio door. She had to make an enormous effort to control herself and not to shout in the middle of her program (or programme, British version).
In addition, she affirms to have seen a very hazy figure of what appeared to be a child. She could only distinguish his arms and shoulders, and this child talked to her, but she could barely understand him.
This situation began to drive her crazy, and she got really anxious. She didn´t know what to think about it.
All the aforementioned events happened to her on a regular basis, so you can imagine how worried she was. Her life was becoming a complete mess.
It wasn´t until she had a conversation with some co-workers, that she found out that everybody working there had experiences very similar to hers. (You can actually say "...had had experiences similar to hers." It looks weird, but I'm 95% sure it is correct too)
In the end, she got a job offer from another company and had no trouble accepting it. Even today, more than fifteen years later, when she talks about that situation her voice is trembles, and she insists that she wouldn´t enter that building again for the world.
My question is, how would you react if something like that happened to you?

 

 

Awesome entry. Very spooky and just-in-time for Halloween! ;)   

I probably wouldn't enter without some ghost gear (spectrometer, magnetometer, camera)!

Workmates is perfect, maybe in the USA they don't use it. Co-worker is also correct as is colleague.

 

Very enjoyable to read. If it had happened to me, I would not have went back there.
