I heard Footsteps
It was about 10 pm and I am working late merging 2 data bases. I hear someone wearing boots outside my office by where the Concession machines are.
Those darn Boiler Technicians like to sneak up on me when I am working late. So I go to the concession area to see who just got in from working late and there is no one there.
I check the parking lot and the back lot I am the only person at the plant.
The company I worked for at this time was started by the Founder (company named after him).
Another late night and I hear boots walking again. These aren’t light footsteps either. This person is not trying to be quiet at all.
Another late night and one of the Engineers and the Inventory guy and I are having a beer at a local watering hole and I ask them about Ivan (the Founder). I ask the Engineer if he was working for the Company when Ivan was still there. Did he wear Tech Jumpers and Work Boots. The Engineer was surprised by my question and said, yes Ivan wore the Tech Jumpers and Work boots. I then asked if Ivan died on site. And the Engineer said yes Ivan died on site. So, I told the Engineer and the Inventory guy about hearing Boots steps and not finding anyone at the site.
The next time the Engineer and I met the Inventory Guy didn’t show. The Engineer said he quit.
So I called the Inventory Guy and asked him why he quit. He said he was in late doing a Physical Inventory and he heard Boots, just as plain as day. He thought one of the Boiler Techs was playing a trick on him. But he looked all over and saw no one there. He said he went out to the lot and drove home. That the hair on the back of his neck was standing up. And that he is getting a new job.
We just hope he is not Ivan the terrible? :groovy:
I never believed in ghosts until my grandmother made her presence known. Funny how personal experiences can expand one’s range of perspectives. Brave blog…and a good one. Think I’ll kick back and watch for a spell…

I stop believing in ghosts when I grew into my teens. I thought it was one those things like santa claus that a person outgrows. I have never heard or seen a ghost. But there are certain movies that when I watch late at night gives me a creepy feeling when I am alone; like The Mouth of Madness, The Shining, and Paranormal Activity. But hearing heavy footstep at night when no one is at work would definitely creep out.
creepy ➡ 😯
Wow…That is pretty creepy…Sounds like one of my short stories. You need to call “Ghost Hunters” and have them come take a look. That show cracks me up…Every single thing they ask of the ghosts happens immediately. LOL…Good story, Roscoe… 8)
This reminds me of a movie theater I worked for back in the day. The projectionist died of a heart attack behind the candy stand one night. He was quite a character and was well known for pulling practical jokes on folks and making outrageously cantankerous statements at times. After he died we had a lot of spooky stuff happen around the theater.
I ended up replacing him as projectionist and I witnessed a lot of creepy stuff. I couldn’t help but laugh about it though since I knew being a ghost would have tickled him pink. Talk about the perfect situation to be playing jokes on people. Thinking about the possibility of him running around scaring a theater full of people made the job that much more enjoyable.
I had the crap scared out of me a couple of times. But I guess that’s just fare for the ride. 😉
Wow… that’s eerie!
This would almost make you believe in ghosts, wouldn’t it. Something like this hasn’t happened to me before, but I have had premonitions and other strange experiences.
