Ghost at work...

[jhbroge]

Hello everyone!

This is my first post here. I have had a personal experience at a previous job in a town outside of Pittsburgh PA back in 2000. When I started there I was told by a two co-workers who live near the job that the building was once a machine shop in the 80's. They told me of an accident that killed a man when the over-head crane he was operating lost its grip and dropped a huge slab of steel on top of the man killing him instantly. They continued to tell me that since the accident 2 other business's have moved in and out of the building within 20 years. Strange things have been reported to happen during the third shift. I admit I was a skeptic and dismissed it as fatigue people were experiencing.

One night, we all finished up early and were hanging out in the break room which was a small site trailer with an office in it. I needed to use the restroom so I exited the break room, and started walking down the warehouse toward the main office where the bathroom is in, which is a bunch of larger trailers put together and placed along the back wall of the building. I noticed a man on top of the office kneeled down staring at me and not moving at all. I stopped in my tracks and asked the man who he was and what he was doing. When he gave no answer I walked backwards keeping him in site and yelled at the break room for my boss to come out. As he walked out, I was still looking at the man who has not moved an inch. I said theres a man on top of the office and would not come down. As I looked back up I watched him disappear like smoke. I has totally stunned. I has no clue it was a ghost, because I always thought a ghost would be see through like everyone says. This one was totally solid and looked so real! Anyway, my boss told me all the doors in the warehouse are locked and no one could have came in let alone get on top of the office without falling through the roof! So we did a walk through and found nothing. He then told me of a similar encounter he had a few months earlier while he was closing shop. I had a new outlook on ghosts given to me from that day on as well as a fascination with the supernatural. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen!

I have an interesting workplace story to share with you....

I will call this.....The Ghost in Plant B.

I work for a company that has enjoyed tremendous growth in the twenty years that I have been there. In 1995, they purchased a vacant warehouse that was adjacent to the main building. They started to move some of the machines into the facility to take the burden off of the main plant.

The department that I worked in was the first to go into the new building. I work the night shift, so once they got everything in place, I was the only one working in this huge building by myself at night.

Two weeks later, there was a terrible accident that occured when they were trying to unload a machine from a parent company. One of my co-workers was asked to help the maintenance crew being that they were short handed. They were trying to unload a machine from a flatbed trailor when a support strap broke, and all of the weight of the machine shifted to my co-workers side, who I will call (Tommy), and killed him instantly.

After a week of greiving, we all tried to get back to work. The maintenance crew moved the machine that Tommy had ran for years into the new building. This is when everything started happening.

I was all alone in this huge building at night. Any noises that were made should be by myself, but I would hear things that told me that I was not the only person working in the building. Once Plant B got going, there were more people working over there. The machine that Tommy ran would start running by itself. It did this several times. The maintenance crew had that machine torn apart and put back together again, but could not find an explanation as to why this machine would start up on it's own.

By this time, the night shift had grown to about ten people in the new building. One night the night operator of the same machine that Tommy's brother ran was slapped hard on his back. When he turned around, there was nobody there. Several people that work over there would see things moving out of the corner of their eye. When they would turn around, nothing was there.

I have witnessed the microwave starting on it's own as I walk past it for lunch break. The thing that really got my attention was when I was working late one night. I was alone in the building. This is about eight years after the accident. I took a break to go to the bathroom, and when I opened the door to go back to my area, Tommy was fully manifested standing right behind the machine that killed him staring at me. It scared the nuts out of me. He only hung around for a few seconds, and dissapeared.

My paranormal work encounter....

My co-worker died a few years back and odd things happened after her death. Every day when she was alive she would come to work at the same time 1pm and sit in the back of the office. She would do secretary jobs: answering phones, filing, and adding things up on her calculator and etc.

The week after she died we all sadden by the lost. We were all very close to her and we didn’t move things around near her desk in fact it was just hard to walk by it. Odd things started to happen every day around 1pm the light over her old desk would shine brighter than any other light. It would never do that before 1pm and would suddenly dim around 5pm [around the time she left the office]. Another odd thing was I would walk pass her desk and her calculator was always on and TOTALED!!! When I asked my co-workers if they were at her desk adding things up everyone said they didn’t touch anything.

For approx a month and a half the same thing would happen, the light would shine bright over her desk at 1pm and her calculator would be totaled. One day it just stopped.....it's almost like in death she was still trying to make deadlines.

Oh and the day after she died...I was in bed at night and was sleeping. Suddenly I woke up and sat up in bed. I felt like there was someone in my apartment. I got out of bed and slowly approached my living room and I had the sense of my co-worker was there.

While all this was going on we at work would say to our deceased coworker out loud "well good afternoon Jane! Still working huh?" we all picture Jane in Heaven working in God's office being his secretary...
