My ghost story from today

[Dr. Facebook Fever]

I'm sure a lot of people will think I'm crazy or just lying with this story. That would obviously be the first time that anyone has ever thought that here.

A friend of mine works at a local museum that has a legend surrounding it to be haunted by a housekeeper who hung herself in a spiral stairway many, many years ago. They tell storys of hearing a vacuum cleaner running in one particular room and when they open the door it stops and no one is there.

I actually got married in this building about 19 years ago and on the wedding video there is a part where you can clearly hear footsteps on a large staircase that leads into the main room where the wedding was but the wedding photo album shows pictures taken at that time by the photographer from completely different areas and no one else was walking around... plus no one in the video turns to look at who's coming down the stairs like they don't even hear it.

Fast forward to today. I'm hanging out with my friend in the prep room while she prepares a new item for showing. She needs a new pitcher of water for cleaning and asks me to go to the kitchen for it. So I head off. The kitchen is one floor below and the quickest access is the door to the spiral staircase right around the corner... it goes right down to the kitchen.

I open the door and about 5 feet in front on me is a woman hanging by a rope over the next section of stairs... facing the other direction, dressed in mostly white but wearing a black bonnet or head cover. I didn't panic or freak out. Immediately the storys came back to me.

I closed the door, went back into the prep room, set the pitcher down and told my friend I needed her to come downstairs with me because I'd seen something. She knows all about it so she did. She went first and there was nothing in the staircase... on the way down or on the way up.

She said it was the first sighting in weeks... not months or years but weeks.

Yes I know how crazy this sounds. I wasn't even going to share it but what the hell.

I'm not saying I believe whole-heartedly but I'm not a non-believer by any means. I've had other experiences that make me wonder too.

Call me insane or share your storys and beliefs.

But if this is the case, they should mention it.

You mentioned PETA before me... my repost.

I have a ghost story. You know when you take a really good poop and you look in the toilet and the poop is gone? Then you wipe and nothing shows on the TP?

I love ghost poops.

Seems like it would be a real damned if you do, damned if you don't proposition.

Bring a dog, dog freaks out, people object because it's cruel, or...

Bring a dog, dog has no reaction, oops.

Kind of hard to sell white noise voices when the dog is sitting in the most haunted spot in the building licking its balls.

Said he kept waking up feeling like someone was watching him or some shit. I crash down there all the time and I've never noticed anything.

I'd be interested to hear his take on this.

My bestest friend took a tour through an old "haunted" nursing home last summer and took pitcures whenever they thought they heard or felt something. It was all flash photography at night. There are several pics that have white orbs in them but that's all. No human shapes, shadows on the wall or "ghosts" just roundish white orbs. No reason for them to be there of course.

A phantom poo? I don't think so.

I havent spent the night since either. I dont know how to describe it. Just that felling that you are being watched. I can tell you this. The incident when the over head lights came crashing down at 4am in the garage for no reason at all. DIDNT HELP NONE!

Did you tell him you were at the top of the stairs all night in silence...watching...?

That being watched feeling is more freaky than actually seeing something imo. I've had that before. At least if you see something there's something tangible.
