Ghost Story
My dad does electrician/ construction/ building maintenance works at various locations. Last night, he happened to have a shift doing maintenance at a ShopRite. Only five people were there: the ShopRite manager, a janitor, my dad, and two others in his team, who shall be called T and D.

Apparently, they have this machinery/ electric room in there that's got this Xtreme Lock, which keeps the door Xtremely Shut at all times. In the middle of the night, however, the door just opened by itself.

Then it closed itself, almost immediately. In front of their eyes.

They freaked out. The manager ran outside in panic and started calling everyone he knew. The guys in my dad's team did the same, and my dad called my mom. I'm not sure what kind of a lock or a door they have in ShopRite, but judging from the level of panic, the incidence must have been quite creepy.

One of the people the manager called was the former manager or some sort, who told them someone died in that room three years ago. Another person advised that if there's a ghost in there, they have a way of confirming it: call out to the ghost, record the sound, and you'll hear the voice on the casette even if you didn't hear it during the recording process. (^^;;;;)

So T got out his tape recorder, called out "hello! Anyone in there!?? Who is it!?" or somesuch, and they all listened to the recording. And they all heard a faint, eerie "iiiiiit's meeee..." on the tape.

T freaked out even more, saying he was going to copy the tape and send it to everyone. Then something happened, and everything on the tape got deleted somehow. D: More panic ensued. They asked my dad, the calmest one of the bunch, to go inside the room and sit in there alone for five minutes. He did just that, and nothing happened.

You wonder if the lock was broken... that's unlikely, since they couldn't get the door to open (without unlocking it properly) no matter how hard they tried.

I don't know about the others who were there, but my family agrees that things like this are good for spicing up one's work life. :)
