Hi all, here's an update on my work situation. It has been quiet for a while but things have started happening again.
FIrstly, the phones are completely haywire. They keep being fixed (by professionals) but only days later they'll start playing up again. By playing up, I mean people will get calls from empty rooms. Or, I will get a call from reception but when I call back to ask what they want (because I couldn't answer it when it rang) they sound baffled and say they didn't call me.
Now, we seem to be having more sightings of the actual entity/apparition too. When I first started there, I saw the tail end of what I thought was a person, but when I rounded the corner after her (we think it's female) there was no one there. One colleague had previously reported seeing another colleague walk into one of the side rooms. She needed to ask her something so she followed her in, only to find the room was empty.
All of that was happening prior to our big renovations and then it all came to a head in one week and ended spectacularly with "Mudgate". If you're not familiar with this story, it should be a few threads down called "More goings on at my haunted workplace."
After that, things went completely silent and have been that way for weeks.
However, as I said, the phones have started playing up again, and yesterday I was told that another person (reliable, sceptical type) also recently saw their colleague in that same side room and went in to speak to her. Again, when she went in, she was shocked to find the room was empty.
The weird thing there is that both times, the person seen in the room was mistaken for one of our actual colleagues who is very much alive!
Also people have been reporting that things are being moved around. They'll leave some equipment somewhere and they'll go back in moments later to find that it's in a different place.
Things are also breaking at an alarming rate. A big, crucial piece of equipment broke down last week. The following day, the balustrade on the main staircase fell apart. Yesterday something a colleague and I were both using literally fell apart in my colleague's hands (and this is quite new equipment). Almost every day something breaks or malfunctions. I've never worked anywhere with so many problems. I know it's an old building but we keep having things replaced and fixed and STILL things keep breaking - I wouldn't believe it at all if I hadn't witnessed it myself.
There are probably lots of other things that I've missed out because when things happen there, it's ridiculous. I can't keep count of how many things happen just in one day.
I'll leave it there for now and keep you updated if anything else happens...
