A Person Asked Our Community To Share Their Creepiest Work Stories, And 30 Pandas Answered
Hey Pandas! For my first post on this platform, I wanted to know one thing... What's your creepiest work story? Did you see or maybe even hear a ghost? Dealt with an overly creepy customer? Did a coworker say or do something chilling that you can't seem to forget?
People in the comments were kind enough to share their own stories, and I must say I'm both impressed and chilled to the core.

Not creepy as in ghost but still creepy…. When I was 16 I was working at the grocery store as a bagger, it was policy to ask everyone with 2 or more bags if they need help out to the car. A guy comes through with 1 bag and a case of water, I asked assuming he'll say no. He said yes. Luckily the manager was the cashier so she pages for a boy to come to help this guy.
I go to my car after work at 10 pm and there is a note on my car that says “next time you help me out not (boy's name)” I was not allowed to walk to my car alone after that. To think that if the manager hadn’t thought it was weird and would've let me help this man to his car... she probably saved me.

I appreciate the concern commenters have for OP, but to shine some light on how this type of thing escalates: report him for what? Putting a note on a strangers car? Not a crime. Suggesting to a worker you prefer their service? Not a crime. Yes, this guy was a creeper, but being creepy isn’t illegal. He never crossed a legal line. Just a moral and decency line. So why is the knee-jerk reaction to report him? What if his legitimate (not likely but possible) reason was to ask her if she knew about Jehovah? See where I’m goin? Reporting anything he did is pointless. They authorities aren’t going to open a file and send out a surveillance team or do anything with the info. It’s not helpful. Changing the stores policy is, and that’s exactly what happened.

I was at work on a night shift at the movie theater. It was last (only one movie showing left) so it was pretty dead. I was helping a couple with their order of a large popcorn (with butter). While I was making the snack I hear this soft voice behind me ask "can I have a refill?" I turn to let the person know I'd be happy to help after I finish the order I was on only to find no one! Besides the people I was helping, the only other person around was my co-worker who was busy cleaning the hot foods area.
I finish the order and duck in back to take a minute to comprehend what happened. My other co-worker was on dishes and noticed I looked a bit frazzled. I told them what happened only for them to look freaked out. They told me they heard someone say "hi" to them a few days ago but saw no one around! Our manager walks in and asks us what's up so we both tell her our experiences. To which she casually responds with "oh yea this place is haunted. Yesterday I was ushering and saw an apparition in theater 5." We later learn another usher say the apparition was in another theater! Now we all are on the lookout for any signs of the spirit! We also warn newbies about the fella. :) At least it seems like we have a nice spirit!

I think most of the ghosts or spirits are benign. I have a couple friends that also have experience with ghosts. And I saw my neighbors father after he passed away. He came out on neighbors porch. Then a few days later I saw his obituary in the paper. So I was shocked that he'd died so suddenly. But in talking to my neighbor later I found out his Dad had been in the hospital for weeks before he died. So he was glad to know his Dad had come to see him.

This includes pet animal spirits as well. I've seen all kinds, most of them are just friendly and curious about current goings-on in the places they used to live. The last house we lived at, we heard that there used to be a pond in the backyard until the previous owners' dog drowned :( No further details. I kept seeing these white smudges out of the corners of my eyes, low-ish to the ground, and feeling that friendly curiosity. We later had the ducts cleaned, and what did they find? Tons of white dog hair. I haven't seen those white smudges since we moved. I also saw a curious orange cat checking out a relative when they were moving into a new apartment. My mother saw it too, even more clearly than I did. I see smudges and 'sense' things, but she saw a full apparition.

I work in a movie theater as well. My first week there I was cleaning an auditorium by myself. Our usual is to start from the top and work our way down. It's a smaller theater, so I did the opposite. We lift all the armrests up as we go as well. I get to the top and start heading down. I see a couple rows down, a couple seats with their armrests down. I think "huh, maybe I missed them. No biggie." I proceed down and see another row with a couple down. Now I'm like "ok, that's odd. again, no biggie". I get to the bottom row....ALL THE ARMRESTS ARE DOWN! Now, I had already heard that theater 9 was supposedly haunted by the guy who had a heart attack in there and *unalived*. I wasn't scared as I've had quite a few paranormal experiences but said aloud "ok, I see you're here. Glad to meet you." Went about my cleaning other theaters and told my MOD what happened only to have him tell me the same thing happened to him as well.

I've heard several adults, people I knew personally, swear they've seen ghosts and other unexplainable things. I've never experienced anything like that myself, but I'm not arrogant enough to say there couldn't possibly be anything to it. Maybe it's all in their heads. Maybe not. Science hasn't progressed to the point of being able to solve these mysteries unequivocally. Imagine someone trying to explain quantum mechanics to ancient Greek philosophers. They didn't have the foundation necessary to understand it yet. Maybe that's where we are with some of these unexplained phenomenon today.

I work in Regal Theaters, and I was very surprised to hear a little girl suddenly respond on the radio, "hello there". Three out of five of us heard it. I asked everyone else who had heard it but they deny it. Also we do have some ghost fiddling with our automatic paper dispenser. It's the one with the hand swipe.

I work for a new car dealer, and, like most, we have a system of who is up next. I was #1 in the rotation, and this old guy drives by slowly, then parks. I'm sitting next to the building, everyone else is across the way in chairs under the trees. The old guy walks over to the one female out on the block and says "I want you to sell me a car." She told him we have an order, and that I'm up. Nope, he wants her. I said go ahead. The dude crept on her the entire time. Always trailing and looking. We did not get in cars with people in 2020 (didn't start going again till about 6 weeks ago) to do test drives, but, he really, really wanted her to go with him. No. He crept on her the entire time at the desk, asking her about her life, where she lived, whether she had a boyfriend, stuff like that. Even asked her out.
After the sale, he kept calling her asking her out. She blocked his number, and HR ended up calling him. Nasty old man.

I work for the homicide detectives with my local sheriff's office. We have a headquarters building that has 2 floors, a basement, and "the penthouse" as I like to call it. You have to go up weird stairs, to get to an outside door to cross the roof to reach the 'penthouse'.
Most people don't even know it's there. It's where old files and all our cold case murder records are kept. The earliest one is from the 1920s, I think?
Every time I go up there to pull another cold case report, I see someone walking with me through the old fuel records and vacation records at the other end of the aisles to my right. There is no corridor on the far right of this space. There are only aisles off the lane I walk in, think like a hair comb. But I swear there is someone at the end of each of the aisles walking with me through the space. I tell everyone who will listen, but as I said, a lot of people don't even know we have a 'penthouse'. Not malicious at all, just there, keeping me company, while I search for reports on unsolved murders.

I wrk in a courthouse which was built in the 1880s. It is reported to be haunted. I'm afraid I've added to the spooky legacy. Whenever i see that the judge is working late at night, I stop by and run through the old courtroom as fast as I can ... lights off of course...his chamber is adjacent to that courtroom....and then scoot back out of the building asap. Sometimes spooky is just a middle-aged lady entertaining herself.

Years ago I was working at a horse breeding farm that had multiple barns. I was working alone in one of the remote locations on one bright, sunny day, mixing and preparing horse feed. The feed room was on one side of the center aisle in the middle of the 28-stall barn. I heard approaching footsteps on the aisleway, so I looked out and saw a man coming into the barn. He was wearing boots, and a western hat and had his hands in his pockets as he came in silhouetted by the sun. I turned to put down what I was mixing and asked "Hi, may I help you?" He was gone. I looked around outside, no footprints and no sign of him.
When I went to dinner that night, I told my friends about this guy. One of them said that a man who had been staying in the living quarters in that barn had been known to cash his paychecks and keep his money with him in his room. Someone had murdered and robbed him years ago and his ghost enters the barn occasionally to presumably either get his money or return to work. He gets as far as where his room was, then he vanishes. Apparently, his visits are usually the day after payday since that was the night he was murdered. Spooky, but, harmless.

Was painting a new house. I was working on the same detached garage all 3 times this happened. First I saw three carpenters leave for lunch. A guy I'm working for comments when they come back that they took a long lunch. Since only two guys come back I say, "Well maybe they took the other guy home." He looked confused and asks, "What other guy?". I said the third carpenter.
He's like "There are only two". So he asks them if they had more help in the morning. Nope, they didn't. Too bad because the guy was nice looking.
So later I'm working and out of the corner of my eye, I see a white figure go by behind me. Thinking it's the boss who always wore painter's white I turn to look where he's going. No one there. At the back of the garage working, the same thing happens, but passes by me on the left. I turn to look, but no one was there. So one real ghost, and one or two spirits. Not really creepy though.

I've studied the paranormal and psychology for 4 decades. Your peripheral vision knows no reality. Reality is this case being that ghosts don't exist it's been drilled into all of us since we were kids when we definitely could see them. So when we see a ghost out of our peripheral it's really there to see but we can't see it when we focus in on it.

When I was a teenager I worked at an old mansion built in 1857 that had been converted into a wedding reception venue. All the table decorations and supplies were kept in the attic, so we had to go up there frequently. There was an elevator to the attic, but it would only go up unless the call button was pressed on a lower floor. So you could take the elevator up but you had to take the narrow "servants' stairs" back down.
The first time I was in the attic by myself getting tablecloths, both of the lightbulbs suddenly shattered, leaving me in the dark. When I say I SHRIEKED, I mean you could probably have heard me throughout the whole house. I had to feel around to find the stairs and ran down them. I told one of the other staff what happened and they said "oh yeah, the house is haunted" which would have been good information to have before I went to the attic by myself!

Ghosts are real, whether or not you've ever seen any. For me, they aren't scary, just perplexing. Usually just rapping or footsteps, but occasionally a full or partial apparition. They don't seem harmful but are involved in whatever they do. I presume they are left over from a previous life and are focused in a slightly different dimension. I'm looking forward to my transition from this planet so I can find out much more--maybe I'll sign up for Ghost 101 in Heaven!

I think I already told the story on BP but it fits. I used to work at a tile shop and we had a basic-looking lady come in and ask for splatter-proof tiles. I was confused and asked her what type of splatter she meant. I asked if she meant oil, grease, or wine-like tiles for a frequently used kitchen. But she said it was for her basement. She needed tiles you can easily wipe clean without leaving any stains. Telling her most glazed tiles are easy to wipe she added that they can't be white. Being a good employee I showed her some of our tiles. She looked uncomfortable the entire time and kept looking around the store like she was looking for something.
All of her questions were really weird and oddly specific.
Being a horror movie enthusiast - I'm pretty sure she wanted to build a slaughter room. I told my boss about her but he said it's none of our business and I should forget about her. I never saw her ever again.

Not ghost creepy. Client creepy.
Came up to me at a work event and grabbed me around the neck. An arm comes up, clutches across my throat, cuts off my air. I'm scrabbling at him to get him to let go, it takes him about 10 seconds to clue in that I was freaking out and even then it didn't occur to him that he was CHOKING me.
Even when I saw him a few days later with bruises on my throat, nada. Oh, I told him and he apologized profusely, but it ended there.
Who's the creep? The boss who said that we'd have to determine the guy's intent before deciding whether the company would support me if I chose to press assault charges. What does intent matter when your customer just choked one of your staff?

My colleagues said I should include this story, it still creeps them out to this day.
We have this one kid that comes to our clinic every 8 weeks or so, his mother and little sister (maybe 5 or 6 years old) always come with him. Every test we did on him, she wanted to do as well. So we did a few (all not invasive) tests, all the while she giggling and telling her big brother not to worry, 'everything's easy.
After his last check-up, we said "see you soon!" to his little sister and she said, "no, you won't!". I asked 'You don't want to come anymore?' and she said, "It's not that! I'm just not going to be around anymore. "
She died a week before his next appointment was due. It was like she knew...

Context: Back in December 1989, my country went through a bloody popular revolution, the fall of the communist regime, and over 1,000 people were shot to death in the streets. One of the heat points in the city was the building that hosted the army headquarters.
Fast forward to 2004, I had just graduated and I got to work in that military complex, as a civilian. Didn't know many details about it. One day, during lunch break, this older colleague starts talking about what she had witnessed there, in 1989. The complex was the place of a horrible massacre. A group of anti-terrorist fighters came to the complex to help its defense, but they were mistakenly taken for attackers and butchered by the armed forces (it was nighttime). The confusion lasted for several days and everyone believed those were "people's enemies". Their bodies were left on the street. The press presented the case as a victory of the revolution. Somebody had profaned the dead bodies in a gruesome manner (one of the bodies had been beheaded).
She said that she was forced to come to work and pass by the decomposing bodies, on the blood-stained pavement, for about a week. She then showed us the bullet marks still visible on some trees nearby, and on the civilian flats on the other side of the road. Horrible.

One of the fashion companies I used to work for in Los Angeles converted an old building into offices. They remodeled most of the front interior, but many of the back rooms were left untouched. When I first started there, I had absolutely no idea of the history of the building and would often work late by myself.
My desk was toward the front of the building but I often had to walk to the back to drop off paperwork for colleagues to review the following day. To get to their desk I had to walk by several of the barren rooms down a long dimly lit corridor. Every time I made this walk I'd feel uneasy, but this particular evening the hairs on the back of my neck stuck straight up and a chill ran down my spine. I felt as if someone or something was watching me, and even following close behind me. I didn't hear footsteps, but the floor began to creak very loudly. I booked it, practically throwing the papers on the desk.
When I made it back to mine, security was waiting to tell me it was time for me to leave so they could lock up the building. I told him what happened and he chuckled, "you don't know? This building is haunted. This used to be a mortuary and those back rooms were where they stored the dead bodies. Makes more sense why you stay late. There's a reason no one else does." I brought sage the next day and never stayed late again!

Worked in the penthouse in an older building. Our company had the entire floor and you needed a special key to get the elevator to open on the top floor after 5:00 p.m.. I was staying pretty late one night and saw the cleaning crew, who said good night when they left. I wasn't sure who else was working but I could hear file cabinets opening and closing and an office door now and then. Shortly after hearing other activity I was ready to go home. I walked the entire floor to say goodnight to whoever was still there. But, nobody was there. I didn't work late by myself after that night.

That's not what - or who - sage is for. It's not a cure-all for bad vibes. Also, what do people think that ghosts are going to do to them exactly? Let's say, hypothetically, that someone does want to haunt the morgue - literally just the place where their likely long-evacuated flesh prison is being chilled - and not, say, the house they lived in or the place where they died. What are they going to do to the still-living who pass through? Why do people assume that people become malicious as soon as they're dead? 😂

A long long time ago I worked as a field engineer in drilling operations in a South American country. The drilling rig was in the middle of nowhere in the jungle. I was working the night shift. One evening the local roughnecks working in the rig were telling us about strange things that happened in the area, and they mentioned that there were some nights when they could hear "the wailing woman" (la Llorona) crying by the nearby river.
For the people who don't know this myth, it's about the spirit of a woman who drowned her own baby in the river and keeps mourning her loss. I enjoyed listening to their stories but I didn't take them seriously. In general, in some regions of South America people can be very superstitious and believe in all sorts of crazy myths and legends. For me, they were just...stories.
Anyway, I had forgotten about all that when about a week later at around 3 am I was walking from the rig to the accommodation (which was a 5min walk) when suddenly I heard the most horrible wailing coming from far far away. The wailing evoked all sorts of feelings: pain, desperation, despair, anger. I can't quite describe how it was; it was just creepy and horrendous, a sound you don't want to hear ever again.
I was all alone, all was dark apart from the dim light that lighted the path between the rig and the accommodation... I just ran back to the rig pale as paper, totally freaked out. The roughnecks saw my face and asked me what happened and I told them what I heard. They said it must have been La Llorona and that the sound was indeed terrifying to hear. Some sat down to pray to send her soul to rest. I couldn't go to the accommodation on my own for some night afterward. I never heard the wailing again and none of my colleagues ever heard it. I still wonder what sound it was... an animal? It sounded pretty human to me.

My mom grew up right by the Mexico border (Del Rio Texas), she would tell us legends and myths and I loved them, still do, when ever we go somewhere I like to here the stories. The la Llorona name was rosa and she was a beautiful woman, and when her husband came back from working far away she found out he was cheating and that he was only coming back for the two children. She asked for one more picnic by the river with her children and he agreed. Rosa watched and decided if she could not have them no one can, and she drowned them. She felt instant regret and killed herself to go find them in heaven. But because she had killed someone (her kids) she is forever separated from them. (Her kids are in heaven while she is not allowed because she has blood on her conscience.)

I worked in a semi-new building a few years back, doing random office stuff. One event was someone calling my name directly behind me. Turn. No one there.
The second time was in the same room with others around and a k-cup came out of nowhere and hits me in the back of my leg. Ok, little frisky. I tell “it” to stop playing around.
And the third time I’m at a conference table with a door to my right and a table in front and a wall to my back. I’m standing at the table sorting some paper and felt a hand on my lower back like if you were to walk behind someone and do that so they don’t step back into you. I moved forward and said “sorry” if I blocked them and turn as I say it. No one there. I had the owner pull the security camera footage. That room as if had just happened and you see me standing there a mist man shape from inside the doorway and walk behind me. I step forward and turn to say sorry and it literally cloaks me and is gone. They started to believe when I did see or have things happen to me. I’m sensitive so I’m used to it. It’s starting again at my new job and already heard my name and felt “someone” touch my shoulder to get my attention.

I must have been maybe 16 or 17 and worked at a very well-known wing & sports bar. I had a very outdated phone and was complaining about it to one of our managers at the time, who was in his maybe mid-50s. He offered to give me his old phone that he just upgraded from. I thought it was such a nice gesture and he explained that I reminded him a lot of his daughter when she was my age. So sweet, right? The next day he gives it to me and told me he made sure to wipe it clean. I go home that night to set it up and put all my photos on it, and noticed that there were a few photos and a video left on it. They were all of his private parts. I immediately showed my mom and she told me I had to tell the big boss man at work.
I went to work the next day and he asked if I liked the phone and all its features. I turned and walked straight over to the General Manager and gave him the phone and told him what happened. He sent me home so I thought I was in trouble. Obviously, I wasn't the one who was and the perv was fired and the police were called. I remind you of your daughter? Okay, I hope you enjoy jail for the rest of your life.

When I was working in the field, there were times when I had to work overtime on the weekend, all alone in the administration office.

I worked for criminal attorneys for 22 years. I have many stories. But the creepiest story I can remember is about a young man who came in to see one of our biggest criminal attorneys.
I put him in a conference room and shut the door. I went back to my desk which had a window in front of it that looks straight out onto the conference room. One minute I looked up and I met eyes with that guy and I have never felt something so creepy in my entire life. It was he was off. The attorney came out and met with him and left, after I told the attorney what I felt. And he said well you have every right to feel that way because he murdered three people and he is out on appeal.

Make him a glass of milk with sugar in it and charge him $100. Don't ever let creeps unsettle you, they feed off that. If you can't get them into trouble for being nasty, act as if they didn't bother you, whether you scream at him or treat his request as completely normal, do not give him the satisfaction of power by looking shaken.

When she was working late into the night, she was getting ready to pack up when she saw a colleague. they talked for a while and she left down the staircase since there was only one staircase, and the lift was out of order.

I worked in an old courthouse for a while. We had our department records in the basement. No one wanted to go to the basement by themselves, as many people believed it to be haunted. (It was primarily used for storage.) It mostly didn't bother me, but there was one part of the basement that always made me feel uncomfortable.
After I left that job, some courthouse employees rediscovered the city gallows, which had been stored in that part of the basement.

I used to work for the local historical society in the basement of the oldest building in the city (Boise, Idaho). There was literally a bunch of stuff from Indian burial grounds all over the place. It was purported to be haunted. There were rooms that still had calendars on the walls from the early 80s, and looked straight out of a horror movie. Did I ever see anything spooky?
Nope! Not a thing!
Then I get a job at an insurance company in a brand new building and suddenly there are weird things all over. One conference room, in particular, is famous amongst the night crew because you'll always come around the corner to see a girl/woman going into it, but then there's no one inside when you get there. Automatic lights don't even turn on.
My theory is that all the electronics and sensors and such are creating EMFs that confuse the mind (as seen in lab tests), but deep down I like to think there's actually a haunting going on.

Could be both. Hear me out; Ghost are supposed to be souls, right? Well, if a soul really exists, its basically pure EM energy. Energy like that could be interacting with the EMF in complex wireless tech. In essense, a high EMF zone could be allowing the "ghost" to have a bit more substance than usual, making then a bit more observable.

First job besides babysitting. For 6 weeks, I was sitting at the reception desk at a private club. I was 15, and the co-worker I interacted with the most was a 73-year-old Irish man. One day, he asks what I like in school. I tell him I love biology, all animals, and the diversity and adaptations of living beings fascinate me. He answers something I don't quite understand, I think he's asking for an example, so I tell him it started with a book on dinosaurs I had when I was 6. He answers very sharply about fossils being fake. I don't understand what he means, I tell him, no no, I have some at home, and I've seen some at the museum. He starts rambling about how the world is 4000 years old, and anyone with a shred of intelligence should know that, and that fossils were put on the earth as a test of one's faith. As he unfurled all of this on me, he was becoming more and more red in the face, and he moved in quite close to me, and I was really shaken up, I thought for sure he'd slap me. He stormed off outside and I took refuge at the back of the bistro with the waitress. Also creepy at that place: a 35-year-old cook who would wait for me on the sidewalk to forcefully hug me every day as I walked back to the metro. And the fact that as a "woman" (girl), I wasn't allowed in the study and lounge rooms. I'd pop in as often as I could to tidy the newspapers, it was my excuse just because that rule irked me...

This is, sadly, common military mentality. I'm a military brat, born and raised in the lifestyle, and dated a few military folk. The sexism, mysoginy, and, sadly, assaults are all too common. In Canada there has been a lot of it coming to the surface and being exposed. Top ranking officers losing their ranks, position and pension because of past sexual assaults coming to light. Word to the wise: DO NOT DATE MILITARY PERSONEL (read: Men) UNLESS THEY ARE ACTIVELY SEEING A THERAPIST. No, I'm not kidding. This is coming from myself AND my vet partner who sees therapists monthly. There is so much s**t and abuse that happens in the daily military life, and that's not counting on PTSD or conflict born trauma.

I used to work at a school pictures place. I usually got in 1st in the morning. Always hit the bathroom first, then made coffee, fed the fish, etc. Sometimes I would hear a photographer come in while I was in the bathroom. Well, apparently while we were closed over Christmas a woman died in the field next to our building. Walking home from the bar, passed out, and froze. Didn't know this until after the "incidents". In the bathroom and hear someone walking down the hall. They stop in front of the bathroom then move away. When I got out, nobody was in the building. The door was locked. Questioned everyone, then searched the building to make sure no intruders. Life goes on. The next day in the bathroom, this time I actually see the shadow of someone coming up to the bathroom door and see the door handle jiggle. Announced I'd be out in a minute. Once again, nobody was in the building. Coworkers thought it was great, starting leaving notes around that said "Boo". After having to search this big half-empty building twice for people hiding I just announced "I wish you would knock it off. Every time you show up I have to search the building for intruders, and that scares me a lot more than you do!" Never happened again.

Got 2. Let's go from scary-creepy and then plain creepy customer. 1. Was working at a historical center for a religious order doing archives and museum things for them. The center is located in the old convent (4th floor). The guides there refused to do the closing because they thought the doll display and the corridor for artifacts was scary at the end of the day. Being the new guy there, I accept to do the closing (you do it alone)... and it's eerie. The corridor is called "The Red Corridor" because the room at the end of it has a red light passing through under the door and a shadow moves back and forth. I went in to see what's what, it's just the sun hitting red curtains and the air ventilation moving it. Still, the museum part is creepy too... lots of places to hide, lots of artifacts/objects belonging to deceased nuns, and the dolls! I can swear their eyes were following me around and some guides heard the sound when closing (I did too, but quite sure it was the plumbing). Oh! And the painting of the founder looks exactly like Vigo in Ghostbusters 2. 2. Bad creepy. Was working at another museum as a guide and there was a free part that anyone can see. There was a homeless man that comes and goes all the time. We were told they were welcome since it's a good place to keep warm during winter and protect from the rain. But this guy, who was OK during 2 weeks, started showing creepy behavior towards our female guides. Blowing kisses, flirting, and kind of stalking one in particular. The day he was banned from the museum, he was caught in the chapel part of the museum masturbating to the Virgin Mary and when asked to leave, he tried to wipe his hands on someone. Creepy disgusting.

While I was still at the university I was working in one underground museum (under an active orthodox church). The museum represented an old Roman Necropolis which is creepy enough for the beginning of the story. I had to go all alone at the beginning of the day and at the end to turn off the lights, check all of the graves for any forgotten items, and so on.
As an active church, almost every day we had different church services, but the awful ones were when they had to serve a burial service.
I was with a group of tourists at the end of our walk through the underground cemetery and the finish point is just below the altar of the church. Then all of a sudden a burial service for a young teen started and everyone in the church started crying out loud. It was terrifying to hear other children crying for their friends. Not a ghost story but I still got shivers all over my body when I think about this memory.
In another story, I was left all alone at the reception desk of the museum (again underground) when a very old lady came, dressed all in black, and came down the stairs. She looked very desperate and a little bit freaky. Thank God, my colleague returned a minute after she entered the museum and saw me standing still so she started talking with the old lady. I sat down on the chair and then she turned to me, caressed my cheek, and whispered "My son died". I was frozen.

I worked in a call center for a large satellite TV provider (not DISH, the other one that has since been bought by a major cell phone provider) handling technical support calls. The group I was in and helped launch handled people who called in more than 6 times in 30 days, so it was a lot of TLC for most calls. Some people, however, just wanted someone to talk to or refused to order pay-per-views through the website or other methods. One evening, a gentleman (used loosely) called to order some... adult content. After verifying the caller and account, I placed the order for him and asked him to mute his TV and turn the channel to make sure it was working. He told me it was, and I closed the call. We were not permitted to hang up on customers, even if the call had ended and the customer didn't hang up. This guy... well... he set the phone next to himself and started... enjoying his movie.

Anyway... I have a late night because I also teach classes to the inmates. Substance Abuse, Family Ties (how to properly have relationships and sever toxic ones), Changing Offender Behavior, and many many more. One night I was in between classes and the unit. My office was at the moment empty as it was held as a reserve for any inmates that tested positive for COVID and would be quarantined. So literally it's just me. Not another *living* soul around. A fellow officer had her office right next to mine. I heard a loud coughing fit. It made me jump because I thought she had gone home because it wasn't her late night. I got up to make sure she was ok (the walls were put up after the prison was built to make more offices so paper thin) and yall, her door was locked and the office was dark. She was not there. Also, there was absolutely no way she could've snuck out in the 5 seconds it took me to go from my office to hers, plus she would've had to pass in front of my picture window. Crazy.

Okay, so, my place of work is known locally for having a spirit roaming the halls. We've even had a team of paranormal investigators come around and conduct an investigation of the place once. I thought it was just some stunt for publicity for a while until I experienced something myself. I'm a server, but sometimes if I want to work overtime I'll stay after the customers leave and help clean up the place. One day I was doing exactly that, and it was around midnight. I was taking a laundry bag of tablecloths and linens upstairs to get washed. As I was going up the stairs, I heard footsteps around the corner in the office. I assumed it was one of the managers doing some work up there. I knocked on the closed door to gain permission to access, but no one answered. I opened the door and nobody was there. I was creeped out, obviously. I set the bag down by the desk and turned to leave. The door to the stairs was shut. When I tried to open said door, it felt like someone was holding the handle still on the other side. I tugged for a while until finally the doorknob turned and I was let out. I more or less sprinted downstairs, but when I first turned to go down the stairs, I saw a glimpse of a man standing in the doorway. I left immediately after.

After being out with the flu for three days, I showed up to work at a middle school early to catch up. The AED alarm was going off so I put my things down and followed the voices I heard. As part of the response team, I grabbed the AED and got to the emergency first, which was an unresponsive man face down in a tractor-trailer which had cages to hold animals for a petting zoo. A colleague and I flipped the man over who had clearly died hours earlier. On my knees, I rubbed my eyes as my colleague closed the deceased man's eyes and said "I'm so sorry, sir." I looked up and a miniature horse was staring at me no less than a foot from my face. I never lost eye contact with it as I backed away and directed the EMT (who was a former student of mine) to the emergency. I then went inside, washed my hands thoroughly, and worked the day until I could go home and comprehend what happened.

At his very best, Ron was two tacos short. I didn't know him at all. I worked in Training, he in Fulfillment. In the four years I'd worked there, Ron and I had never exchanged more than a single word: "hi" or "hey" or "g'night" (with two exceptions). When a supervisor from Corporate sent me the thank-you gift of an enormous popcorn tin, I put it in the break room with a loud note: "EAT ME." That same day, Ron stomped to my desk and yelled, "You nasty girl! You're disgusting! I took that popcorn and threw it in the dumpster!" -- 😳 (No idea how he knew it was mine.) A few months later, I had an emergency hysterectomy and was in the hospital for four days. My family was there most of every day; my best friend was with me for several hours; my former girlfriend brought flowers with this card tucked in: "YOU LUCKY BITCH." 😂 I neither needed nor expected to see anyone else. The second night after surgery, I was falling asleep to Jeopardy! when I heard stompy footsteps and a jovial male voice: "Hey, Kim! Stopped bleeding yet?" The curtain was pulled back and there stood Ron. Stupid grin plastered on his face. He came over to the bed and put. his. hand. on. my. stomach. and yelled, "How ya feelin'? Came to check up on you!" It was indescribably creepy and so very gross. And I was powerless. I turned my head away and he started chattering. Then - du miracle! My nurse walked in. Her name was Terry and I'll never forget her. She assessed the situation at once. She read him the riot act and threatened to call security if he didn't leave immediately. She was my heroine.

Well, our forestry department must be haunted or cursed, because at least once a month I get a chainsaw that had the mixed fuel magically turn into plain gas. No one has ever put the wrong fuel in, they have no idea what happened. (two strokes need a mix of gas and oil, otherwise they don't get the proper lubrication and the piston/cylinder will overheat and lock up. It's junk at that point.)

My workplace has a toilet ghost in the ladies' room in one particular cabin. Boss says it's the drainpipes because the house is old and the toilets are in the basement. But drainpipes don't flush the toilet by themselves or ask "hmmmmm?" in a loud moaning voice the moment you enter the cabin with a drain unclogging tool. She only ever speaks to me, my co-workers never met her. Of course we call her Myrtle.

I was 5 when m' grandfather purchased a beautiful lake house. Many, many times I'd hear glasses tinkling, people murmuring, laughter in it's greatroom/ sunroom which had a good-sized bar in it.. I'd frequently see a man in one o' it's bedrooms- he'd a notched collar, priest-like attire. He'd just turn & look at me when I was nearby. None o' these experiences frightened me in any way. When I was older I learned that the property was owned by the Catholic dioceses in the late 1800s. It had also been owned by a man who trained animals for the movie industry in the 1930s. He'd built the great room to entertain guests. Mind you, I was 5, non-catholic, & m' grandparents weren't big drinkers.

Creepy client story for me. I (a 26 year old male at the time) work at a game store (like billiards and stuff for game rooms), and I was helping this lady (probably late 40's to early 50's) shop for a pool cue. This lady was coming in close to me (during COVID) and was saying things like "I'd like you to teach me how to play pool". And before she left, she asked for my name so that I could be the sales rep that would help her out in the future. The commission I got for that sale did not make it worth feeling like cougar bait.

At his very best, Ron was two tacos short. I didn't know him at all. I worked in Training, he in Fulfillment. In the four years I'd worked there, Ron and I had never exchanged more than a single word: "hi" or "hey" or "g'night" (with two exceptions). When a supervisor from Corporate sent me the thank-you gift of an enormous popcorn tin, I put it in the break room with a loud note: "EAT ME." That same day, Ron stomped to my desk and yelled, "You nasty girl! You're disgusting! I took that popcorn and threw it in the dumpster!" -- 😳 (No idea how he knew it was mine.) A few months later, I had an emergency hysterectomy and was in the hospital for four days. My family was there most of every day; my best friend was with me for several hours; my former girlfriend brought flowers with this card tucked in: "YOU LUCKY BITCH." 😂 I neither needed nor expected to see anyone else. The second night after surgery, I was falling asleep to Jeopardy! when I heard stompy footsteps and a jovial male voice: "Hey, Kim! Stopped bleeding yet?" The curtain was pulled back and there stood Ron. Stupid grin plastered on his face. He came over to the bed and put. his. hand. on. my. stomach. and yelled, "How ya feelin'? Came to check up on you!" It was indescribably creepy and so very gross. And I was powerless. I turned my head away and he started chattering. Then - du miracle! My nurse walked in. Her name was Terry and I'll never forget her. She assessed the situation at once. She read him the riot act and threatened to call security if he didn't leave immediately. She was my heroine. I wish I'd had a tape recorder. But christ . . . what a ghastly creep.

I used to work in a building that was meant to be haunted by the ghost of a bus driver who had been killed on the site when it was a bus terminal. I never saw anything remotely ghostly, but the ghost liked to bring me pens - some mornings there would be a dozen or more on my desk and everyone else had none. (OK, so there's probably a perfectly good, non-spooky explanation, but I like to imagine the ghost carefully carrying pens one by one to my desk every night!)

I work as a mechanic for the city and my specialty is two stroke engines, chainsaws, trimmers and the like. Well, our forestry department must be haunted or cursed, because at least once a month I get a chainsaw that had the mixed fuel magically turn into plain gas. No one has ever put the wrong fuel in, they have no idea what happened. (two strokes need a mix of gas and oil, otherwise they don't get the proper lubrication and the piston/cylinder will overheat and lock up. It's junk at that point.)

One time I stayed at a air bnb and it was super creepy. Me and my brother went into the basement to explore. All of the furniture was pushed against the walls except for a child’s decorative chair sitting in middle of the room. Spray painted on the wall was measurements of the house. On one corner of the map was the word ‘trap’ . Needless to say I didn’t go near that spot.

I worked as a cashier at a grocery store, and while I was checking customers groceries I heard someone whisper my name. I had just recently been diagnosed with bipolar, so my first thought was "Great. Now I'm hearing voices?" Then later on when we were leveling the aisles during closing, a few other cashiers mention that they heard their names being whispered earlier in the day. I never mentioned it to anyone. The next thing I thought was "Yes! I'm not crazy!" Lol Still really creepy..
