The place where I work is supposedly haunted by a ghost. He is a very friendly spirit who likes to play tricks on our staff. I have never seen him although I think I have felt his presence a few times. Our TVs will turn on by themselves inexplicably. In the ballroom, he has supposedly rearranged tables, dumped tables over, etc. Whenever something odd happens everyone blames"Bob". I told the other staff members that I thought they were nuts. I always figured that he stayed away from me since I am a Christian and I have God's light around me. That sounds pretty out-there, I am sure, but I honestly think it has "protected" me from the shenanigans until I have been able to accept that this "spirit" is not bad. Just before Christmas, I was turning on the house speaker system when my phone rang from across the bar. The caller id showed that it was the main number for our facility. There were only a few people working that afternoon -- non of which are pranksters. This happened maybe three times in a row. I went through the building to make sure no phones were astray, quizzed my fellow workers and nobody had been attempting to call me. I am certain this was not a trick. I simply grinned and wished our "Bob" a Merry Christmas and thanked him for not attempting to scare the crud out of me. I told him that he his to keep away when I am there alone after hours because I don't want to have a heart attack.

By the way, I have spoken to a friend of Bob's who assured me that he was very kind and respectful of women. He said that Bob was a real jokester. This guy is a paranormal "hunter" and could tell you stories about hauntings that would scare you. The oddest thing though, he asked me to describe what I had experienced, if I could describe what I had seen. I told him that I had not specifically seen anything, but that I felt like someone of fairly large stature was standing near me at times. He showed me a picture of Bob (when he was alive) and he looked amazingly familiar, not in a spooky way, but a I-think-I-know-you kind of way. Very odd, call it eerie, I don't know. I always tell people that "Bob" and I have an agreement. I won't call the chaplain for an exorcism if he doesn't bug me.
