Hey Freaky Friends,
This is NOT a spooky story told around a campfire and not a legend. Infact, unless you are a member of a very select group, chances are you don't know about it. Here goes.
I am a student of Montclair State University in New Jersey, where last year I worked a a Desk Attendant in Russ Hall (dormitory). This happened in late August when the D.A.'s started working late at night. Something to note, we had security doors on the building, they locked at midnight and required a valid MSU ID to open it. This door is also quite loud when the mechinism activates.
This one night, I was working the 2am - 4am shift and at 2:30am was reading a book for a class of mine. This is when I heard the door pop and looked up. I saw it swing fully open and no one walked in. I went to the window to see if anyone accidently set it off, when I heard the second door into the building open. I watched that door swing open too.
To say I was frightened is not exacty right, I was fansinated. Until the door to the desk area opened. Then I though I was going to pass out. I stood there for a good five minutes staring at the door. Or that's what I thought. I came back to focus when I heard the door open again, this time with a body coming through. Now it was 3am. Since it was a co-worker I told him what had happened, he said that the door had opened on him too. I sat down, somewhat relieved. But not for long.
I tried to go back to reading when I heard a knocking coming from the back wall of the desk area. Behind this wall is the Admissions Office for our school. But it was 3 in the morning and that office didn't open for another 2 days. This happened all last year. And I am not the only one with strange occurances at that desk. All of the Attendants have had strange things happen to them.
This year the weirdness has reached a new level. I am no longer a D.A. but am a Resident Assistant in Russ Hall. In the basement there is a little hall that is closed off by a door, from the rest of the basement. This is to keep residents out of the generator room, catalog storage room, phone/hypnotic alien device/fire enuncator room and 2 storage closets. And as an R.A. I have to walk through there to make sure its empty.
Without fail, everytime I go in there, 1. its cold. Much colder than the rest of the basement, despite heaters. and 2. I hear the voice of past residents. Sometimes the voices are not so bad, but there are nights that terrify the living soul. Feb 6 was one of those nights. I was on my 8:00pm rounds when I entered the hall. It was colder than usual and I could hear screams. I had passed the lounge on the way by and since it was empty, I knew that it wasn't the hypnotic alien device. I continued walking when I heard heavy footsteps. (The basement is 2 floors under the resident rooms) And I heard him.
I don't know who he could be, but he terrorized the girls. I heard them groan when his footsteps came close. I tried "following" the sounds with my eyes. They were so heavy that a small metal tag and chain jumped with every step.
I bolted out of there and refuse to go back alone.
Well, those are my stories. I could right more, but this is enough for one posting. Merry Hauntings to all and to all a good fright!
