I like to get into work at about 7.30am, before everyone
else is in the building. I work in a GP surgery and I unlock,
turn off the alarm and go into my office. I don't start
work immediately, I make some breakfast, check my emails,
and before starting my work, one thing I've liked to do for
some time now is visit my fave ghostly websites (obviously
COS is one) and cut and paste some stories onto Word for
Windows so that I can read them in my lunch break or when
things get quiet and won't be using the Internet!
I've always thought how unscary it is coming into work so
early, even when it's still dark. I'd never had a spooky
feeling before, and I am easily spooked! (Probably all the
ghost stories I read). Well, that all changed at the end
of last week.
It was all okay until I came upstairs to my
office. The building is set out so that you go through
Reception, up some stairs, and to a landing. From that
landing, you can see downstairs and there are two light
fittings with huge dangling light shades hanging from the
lower ceiling.
This particular morning last week, I was doing my usual cut-and-pasting of ghost stories, and then I
went out of my office door meaning to make a cup of tea in
the kitchen next door. When I came out of my office
though, I stopped dead. I was definitely all alone in the
building, I hadn't turned on the radio, yet I could
distinctly hear voices, I couldn't make out any words and
it was for a split second, but then I noticed that the
light shades that hung from the ceiling downstairs were
swaying. They are well away from any window, and although
they do sway when people stir up air walking by, I had only
come out of my door and stopped, I hadn't walked anywhere
at all! I was pretty spooked, and spent the rest of the
time until people started arriving for work inside my
office with the door shut. Nothing else happened until
this morning.
This morning, I couldn't resist and began trying to cut-and-
paste again (I just love everyone's stories) and I went
into one website. I did the usual procedure, but when I
looked, nothing had been pasted on the page in front of
me. I tried again and again, and then suddenly the
computer said there was an 'illegal error' and threw me
right out of the Net. I went in again, and the same thing
happened. I then tried COS, and the same thing happened.
When I did manage to cut-and-paste, nothing came up on the
screen again! It sounds like nothing much, but I've been
working here for eight months and it's only in the last
week or so that things like this have happened, and most
seem to be centred around me using these ghostly sites.
This morning, my transcriber was turned on and sitting on
my desk next to me as it usually is, and suddenly it began
to make a strange noise, as if there was some kind of
static interference, my mobile is not here with me as it is
broken, and there is nothing else that could have
interfered with the transcriber, and it has never ever
happened before!
I am now no longer going to visit or cut-and-paste ghost
stories at work as I am completely spooked now. I live
alone, and don't want anything following me home! Perhaps
this is all a coincidence and just a series events that can
be explained away... but my intuition says that something
is a bit weird! I will stick to reading these ghost
stories in Internet cafes in future, no more cut-and-
pasting at work! I hope that telling this tale and not
visiting these sites at work any more will please whatever
it is that didn't seem to like it!?
I always worried my total fascination with things
paranormal would encourage something to happen. And
believe me, I don't want that! I'd rather abandon my
interest in all this and stay well away from ghostly
experiences of my own!!
