One of girls reported that she heard something in the early morning when others haven’t arrived at office and she was on her own. She thought it was a big rat, which doesn’t seem very convincing at all. Too solve the problem, we started our brainstorm about what it could have been. The agreement soon has been reached to which probably sounds a bit spooky. It was a ghost floating in the air watching us.Well, I guess that the history of this office has to be introduced here so as to understand the situation and their guessing. This office long time ago was used as a doctor’s surgery by a doctor who died for reason remains unknown. One of my colleagues had her surgery in one of the offices here many many years ago. It is not hard to link a place like this to whatever the spirit things could be involved.

When I started this job, I was told that my old admin office was the spookiest one among all, strange shape, deeply tucked in the end of corridor, narrow doorway but big tummy in the middle and a big sliding filing compactus can hide thousands files and another a few people. I spent 8 months in there feeling quite happy and peaceful although the air conditioning never worked properly or as what I had hoped it could. I never had felt isolated or scared in the past. On the contrary, I felt quite cool.

Recently I constantly got headache when I was working in front office, which is the frantic end of the whole office. People coming and going, taking calls pleasant or unpleasant, exploring possibilities or say no on the phone, complaining that they had too much to do, what they couldn’t manage or what they felt not fair to offer. It is not a quiet place when everybody wants to have their says. Sometimes I felt hard to breathe and I desperately need fresh air.

When that happens, I darked out for 5 minutes, went back to my old place where hasn’t got new admin person coming yet, and stayed there for a while. The cool air really cooled me down and my headache, amazingly, went away. I never would like to admit that my headache was caused by stress or tension because I didn’t really feel it, but now I started to realise that physical problem do reflect what’s going through your mind.

So, to some extend, I don’t feel fearful toward the guessing of “ghost floating in this office”. At least, if there were really ghosts exist in this place, they didn’t do any harm to me. I feel that the bigger ghosts probably exist in people’s minds. The sins and the evil side of all their thoughts can be much worse than a dead people’s soul who hasn’t found a peaceful place to rest.
