I worked in a former nursing dorm and of course there were rumours of suicide ghosts. One night a bunch of us were working really late and a couple of us went to the back of the building, where we hardly ever go when working late. We heard a loud racket, and talked about the suicide rumour. Never thought much of it though, figured it was some kind of A/C noise.
A few weeks later, I worked the late night shift, the only person in a three story building that was all locked up. I went to leave at 1am, and had to use the elevator as the stairwell was locked up. I went to push the button but stopped just short because something felt weird, I just pointed at it for a second and ding, the doors opened.
Nobody who had sent it up would have been able to get out of the building before I saw them, they would have to go out the south entrance down a long hall. I get to the bottom and there's nobody. I walk very quickly out to the parking lot and mine is the only car there.
This is 100% true, no embellishment whatsoever.
