We were doing a wiring and telecomunications job in the attic of the wharehouse, which also serves as The University of Alabama at Birmingham's (UAB) print shop, graphic design, and art departments.
The building is over 100 years old, with throwbacks, antique features, and forgotten features throughout.
For example some of the "origional" wiring is still in place though not used, in one part of the basement there are two seperate out house style restrooms with "White only, and "Black only" on them.
I was working there with several other guys and we all had strange experiences, several times a coworker would come into the room to ask what I needed, saying that I had called for them!
I had several "Happenings" while I worked up there alone, To
make a long story short I heard voices, kind of like a radio played at low volume and kind of off station, though I could make out
that it was someone talking instead of music.
I heard foot steps, several times that folowed me down hallways,
and came from rooms that I knew positivly no one was in them.
I heard footsteps walk down the hallway I was working next to and then stop right at the corner, when I leaned over to look down the hallway of course no one was there.
And the most disturbing thing was when I was packing up to go home for the day I was walking down a long isle in the main attic area, when I noticed footsteps folowing me, figuring they would stop when I stoped like they had earlier I stoped.
They didn't!
So I went to walking,QUICKLY.
I walked all the way through the attic with the footsteps following close behind, rounded the corner and ran smack into a cold spot!
And I mean COLD!
I could see my breath in front of my face, just like that kid in the
"Sixth sense", and might I mention it was late May and there wasn't any airconditioning run in the attic.
I dropped the ladder I was carrying, my toolbag, the blueprints,
My tool pouch, and the box of devices I was carrying and didn't stop running till I hit the parking lot.
Later I talked to the mainteneance guys and they had wondered amongst themselves how long it would take for us to see a spook
having heard, felt, "them" for years.
Haven't been back since.
