Haunted
You guys, I'm totally not making this up, sometimes I really think that my office is Haunted.
Picture it: It was 5:00pm on a Tuesday night. Everyone in my department has left for the night, because they all come in earlier than me (I am LAZY and I can't get up early for the life of me). So I'm sitting at my desk, trying very hard to file my nails, eat half a box of Oreo cookies, and shop for Lifetime Movies starring Joanna Kerns on Amazon (don't judge me, you don't know me!) at the same time.
The Legal Department is next to ours. Their department is just three cubicles away from my desk. So I'm sitting at my desk, ordering my DVD's, when I hear what appears to be someone in the legal department typing furiously on their keyboard. And I swear to God, I heard a woman laugh. Funny, I thought to myself, I could have sworn that all the lawyers left a 4pm. But I wasn't weirded out at that point, because our head attorney, Cynthia, sometimes worked late.
I hear more typing. Someone clicking on the mouse.
A minute later, one of our Directors, Doug, came to my desk. The conversation went like this:
DOUG: Hey there, looks like it's just you and I left on this floor. Do you want a cupcake? They're left over from Shari's retirement party.
ME: Oh sure! (Takes cupcake, starts shoveling it in my mouth). By the way, you should ask Cynthia if she wants one, I think she's still here, I heard her typing away.
DOUG: Cynthia? No, can't be, she left this morning to Texas for a business trip.
ME: Really? Oh then it must be someone else.
DOUG: You really heard someone typing? The other Lawyers are also in Texas, they left yesterday before her.
ME: What? No, can't be, someone is there. Here, lets go see...
So we walk to the legal department, and there is NO ONE THERE. All the computers were off, and there was not a single piece of evidence that would indicate that anyone had been working the last few hours.
Weird, I thought to myself. My brain must have been playing a trick on me.
A few nights later, I was alone at the office again. It was around 5:00pm, and the lawyers were still in Texas. I was stealing candy from my boss's desk, when I heard someone typing in the legal department again. No, this can't be right, I thought to myself. All the lawyers were gone. They were all still in Texas. Even their secretaries and assistants all took the week off. I paused and listened. Someone was typing, and clicking on a mouse, I swear. I walked quickly to the legal department, and NO ONE IS THERE. NOT A SINGLE SOUL.
I haven't told anyone at work what happened, because I'm pretty positive that they'll think I'm crazy. Heck, I think I'm crazy. Surely, ghosts don't exists, right? I'm thinking that in my old age, my brain must be playing some tricks on me. Either that, or someone is sneaking into the legal department, banging on the keyboard and mouse, then quickly running away, I don't know.
All I know is, it is creepy as hell.
