I had a ghost experience mid-day, after a good night sleep, no booze or drugs involved. My buddy and I were cleaning an office attached to a huge warehouse on a Saturday morning. When we arrived every electrical device in the place was on. Coffee machine, computers, lights.. EVERYTHING. I called the office manager to make sure that there wasn't anyone working that day and he said no. I asked how they could have left everything on in the office.. He said they must have been in a hurry to leave on Friday. No biggie, we started cleaning.
My buddy went to one side of the office, I started working on the other. About 20 mins later I felt someone just staring at me from behind. Figuring it was my buddy being lazy, I said "get your ass back to work". No response. I said "Dude, seriously.. Get back to cleaning.." No response. I turned around to give him shit, and there was nobody there. This happened 2x more times before I went to see my buddy and ask him if the same thing happened to him. Just as i was rounding the corner to where he was, I heard him say "Dude, quit trying to scare me and get back to work". I explained to him what happened, and we both got scared and figured someone might be in there with us.
We went out to the warehouse to grab a couple of pipes (make us feel tougher at least!) and while we were out there we saw a figure moving upstairs on the third floor through a window.
My buddy ran up one stairway, I ran up the other.. We were pumped on adrenaline and fixing to beat some ass. We get to the top of the stairs, whip open the doors... And there was nobody up there. (3rd floor was vacant, just wide open space.. no cubicles or anything.. No hiding spaces basically..) We looked out the window to the ground floor of the warehouse, and saw a dark shadow moving out into the boxes.
We hauled ass downstairs yelling, smacking things with the pipes to try and scare the thing (person??) away.. We searched the entire warehouse (alarm was on while we cleaned, so nobody could have left without setting it off) and found nothing. We were so freaked out we finished cleaning the place in record time and then promptly quit.
6 Months later we were talking to the owner of the company, and told him what happened. He started lauging and said "So you met the ghost"
We said "WTF???" He said that while they were building the warehouse a construction worker fell from the roof and died. He has been there ever since.
At that point we were VERY happy we quit. I guess the ghost had seen us there for so many Saturdays he figured it was time to introduce himself.. Bad idea..
