I'm sure one of the trains I commute on is haunted. I keep seeing a black cat in the last carriage. Either that or I am haunted by a black cat...

At my old College I did summer work and had to go through one of the newly purchased buildings that was going to be converted to offices. The college was in a small town and modified existing 200 year old queen anne style residences for dorms, etc. Some the buildings had been left by donors and many had colorful stories. I was going through this beautiful empty house, all wooden grand staircases and paneled walls, crown molding and silk wallpaper. I'd come down the stairs when I thought I heard someone behind me. Nothing. Then I heard what sounded like the rustling of skirts, like a ball gown, and saw...something, coming down the stairs from the top, but it disappeared by the next landing. Never found out if there was a story attached to that house. One of the other converted dorms had a little tower with a widow's walk, with the story that the owner was a ship captain and his wife watched his ship go down in a storm on the lake from the walk, so she hung herself in the tower.

My last two houses have been heavily haunted, but as for work-related...when doing time as a bagger in grocery, there was a poltergeist in the parking-lot. We named him George. He was pretty cool actually, he'd play with us. You could put a shopping cart in the middle of an isle, back off to either end and ask him to roll it to a specific person. Usually, after a minute or two the cart would start creeping toward the correct person. He did like rattling toilet stall doors as well, though.

I've decided to name my buddy-ghost Roam, since he loves to walk up and down all the hallways when I'm up front. I was ignoring him at work on Sunday when he was doing that. So as I'm busy ignoring(or at least attempting to)him roaming around the hallway, I hear the footsteps stop. I looked at my cameras and see my dark little buddy standing behind a door one of the cameras was pointed at. As soon as I paid attention he wandered off of camera range and started walking around again. Evidently he doesn't like being ignored.

About an hour before I got off work I headed to the restroom(making sure not to look down his hallway) After I got done washing my hands I turned to leave. As I do so I can see in the mirror a dark figure walking behind me. I have never moved so fast in my life. The only other time he's made his presence known physically(other than the camera stuff) is when I was ignoring him again and something slammed into the outside window. Everyone I told said 'Oh it was a bird' A bird could not have hit the window that hard and been concious and the very least. I ran outside and there was no dead/unconcious birds anywhere. Nothing in the hedges. There were also no birds ANYWHERE in the sky or surrounding area. Roam does NOT like to be ignored.
