Ok there is someone opening and closing desk drawers across the hall

[texas1928]

and when I go and look no one is there. I am the only one in the building. It is really starting to freak me out.

[shawcomm]

1. Good grief! Where do you work?

That's creepy...

:scared:

[texas1928]

3. The thing is this building is not that old.

but the worst thing is when it comes time for me to leave I have to enter a pitch black hallway and the lights are at the end near the exit door.

[Sperk]

4. that's awful! How can they make you do that? Is there any security in the

building? Call someone on your cell phone (assuming you have one) and stay on the line with them until you are safely in your car.

Then tell your boss to put some lights in! Jeesh!

[texas1928]

7. Oh there are lights but they are turned off by the cleaning crew.

They left at 8:30. So I get to leave in the dark. And there are no security here. So I am alone.

[Skink]

2. Poltergeist.....

Much better thatn Coultergeist.

[Amfortas]

5. Get out now....

right now I say! run , flee .....

[Left Is Write]

6. Oh, I think I'd be beyond freaked out by now!

Are you SURE no one else is there?

[texas1928]

8. Yep been through the building 5 times now.

no one here but little old me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. How about a flashlight?

I'd be getting out of there, pronto! But then I'm a timid female, not a big brave male...Is is maybe an earthquake? Do you have those in Texas? Go home, please, and let us know when you are safely there, OK?

:scared:

[texas1928]

10. I can not leave work til my shift is up.

But I am home now. And no it was not an earthquake. The guy who usually works the late shift and I have been hearing noises since we started our new jobs and started being the only ones in the building after 8 PM. Some of the Management have been asking if we have heard strange noises or not. ONe lady was working in her cubicle one morning early and heard someone typing in the next cubicle. When she would look the typing would stop and no one was there. as soon as she would turn around the typing would start again.

[hickman1937]

11. I wonder what the building was built on top of.

Some people just never leave home.

[texas1928]

12. We have talked about it and we think we know who it is.

He was a man who was at work everyday, from early in the morning til late at night. and He was very dedicated. He had a stroke and as soon as the doctor released him he was back at work. He died on a Saturday. He was at work that Friday and was fine, he just died in his sleep. We think it is him. because his desk was back in the area where the ladies heard the typing, before they remodeled and put in the cubicles.

[hickman1937]

16. Then leave him be.

I was raised very old time, very conservative Catholic, and when anyone talked about ghosts, it was laughed off, then sign of the cross, then dropped. The Irish knew something, they just wanted to leave it lie. Not pass it on in the new world.:shrug:

[texas1928]

17. I am not going to bother it.

It is just letting us know that it is still there. Whatever or whomever it may be. I am working so, I do not have time to socialize with it.

[texas1928]

13. Well on a side note,

This area was once open plains. We are not but about a days ride on a horse to the Palo Duro Canyon, and that was a Comanche and Comanchero hiding place. A lot of people were murdered out on the plains at that time. SO you never know.

[Tom Kitten]

14. maybe

it was the clerk working on a story about the murders out on the plains...Maybe he always dreamt of being a reporter and now knows the facts to the stories, eh???

[texas1928]

15. You never know.

But when Lubbock was that young it was not out where my work is at. The area where my work is was not built up til the 60's and 70's.

[BikeWriter]

18. That's interesting. I've been writing a western book. Most of it occurs...

...in San Antonio and in El Paso.

[texas1928]

19. Two Texas cities with some interesting history

are you going ot publish it?

[BikeWriter]

20. That depends on if and when I finish it and the reception it gets...

...My biker book would probably be easier to self-publish and sell at bike shops and runs. The western and the Sword and Sorcerer ones may sell to one of the paperback publishers.

[texas1928]

21. Well let me know

I read a lot of westerns.

[BikeWriter]

22. I do, too. Louis L'Amour's Sackett series are probably my favorites...

...If I think about it I may send you some sample pages of my western or post them on here.

[texas1928]

23. I nearly have a complete collection of Louis L'Amour.

My favorites of his are the Sacketts, The Lonesome Gods, Bendigo Shafter, and the Chick Bowdrie short stories. My Bendigo Shafter has to be replaced. It fell apart on me I have read it so much.

[BikeWriter]

24. I have a large walk in closet full of boxes of books, mostly paperbacks...

...Many of them are westerns. :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. So you're writing about San Antonio and El Paso?

Is it fiction or non? And historical? I'd be interested especially if it's non-fiction. Though I do enjoy well-written historical fiction. Inquiring minds would like to know! Thanks...

[BikeWriter]

26. It is fiction, but I do research it for accuracy. I plan to go to both...

...areas and confer with local historical societies before completion of the book. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Very cool indeed!

Now do let us all know when (not if!) you're published! I'd love to have a first edition autographed!

:toast:

[BikeWriter]

29. Thank you. Ma'am. :-)

[sundog]

28. haunted license plate maybe?
