It's Official! We have a ghost!

I'm not inclined to spread hoaxes, but this one was too weird to pass up.

Yesterday, my co-worker came rushing down the hallway all flustered and read faced. She'd been all alone in the back room working on a project when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She turned and saw a figure of a woman in a white wedding type dress descending the steps into the room, and then it just vanished. She would not go back into the room the rest of the day.

I don't know what she actually saw to make her think it was a ghost, but I know some people who swear to have encountered ghosts before (Heather!). This person was not the type to make up a story like that, so I gotta believe that she believes what she saw.

Now that's not the official confirmation part.

Last night, after everyone had gone home except the janitor, the President of the company and his brother were talking to each other about the story that my co-worker had told. Skeptical, they went into the room and started looking around for something that might have cast a reflection or made her think that there was a ghost. While they were looking, someone began rattling the outside door (next to the staircase). Thinking they'd accidentally locked the janitor out of the building, they rushed to the door and pushed it open. Nobody was there. The Janitor was in the front of the building at the time. This story was confirmed by all three participants.

So, it looks as if we've picked up a hitchhiking ghost just in time for the new year. I don't care what anyone says, I know that's good luck. As poor as this company has been doing the last couple of years with the downturned economy, it just goes to show us that our spirit is alive and well and rattling the doors of opportunity.

Looking forward to 2006. May you all have a Happy New Year.
