I've been a Castle Of Spirits fan for a very long time,
and can't
think of a better place to share this story.
It is completely true,
and it freaked me out so badly that it stayed on my mind for days
after it happened.
I work the night shift at JFK airport terminal 3. Two weeks ago I was
working down by one of the gates and had to use the restroom. Now
everyone has a "spot" as we all say, that they are comfortable in,
because it's cleaner and less to never used by the public. But
because my business could not wait any longer, I opted on going to
the ladies room above the gate area by a Samuel Adams bar.
I've never
been up there, and noticed as I went in that it was even cleaner, and
warmer than my "spot" (at night the AC in the terminal reminds you of
a winter day) so I decided this should be on my list of comfy places
also.
While touching up my makeup a bit in the mirror before using the
toilet, I heard a low moan as if someone was in pain, and it sounded
as though it was coming from one of the stalls on the end. So, being
the silly individual that I am, I start chuckling quietly to myself.
Don't ask why, I just thought it was funny is all.
So, I head to the first stall on my left; there's three on the left,
three on the right when you walk in, and noticed all of them were
wide open and empty. I was the only one in the bathroom!
Like I
said before, I really had to go, so I put it out my mind. Thought
maybe I was hearing things.
The moan got a little bit more louder
now. I stood in the stall for a moment and thought of all the things
that can make a noise like that, and I came up with old plumbing. I
struggled with that for another moment because this noise sounded
like a person in pain, not old pipes or bad plumbing, it was a human
sound. And as I settled my mind to just go with the bad pipe answer,
the moan got so loud that it now filled the entire bathroom to the
point that I could not pinpoint the location from which it was
coming from.
That was it for me, I didn't want to be in there another
second and high tailed it out of there.
But, I was still very desperate to relieve myself, and it would take
five minutes to walk to another bathroom, five minutes I could NOT
spare, and this one was right there...but I'm afraid to go back in!
So, I sucked it up and went back in. Stood at the door for a minute,
no sounds. Did my business super quick and as I'm washing my
hands...the moaning starts up again, this time I nearly peeled out my
skin because the sound was right next to my ear! Instead of flying
out of there in horror, I got mad at being frightened so badly and
let out a few choice words letting this spirit (yes I finally got that
in there was haunted) know that I don't care what their problem was,
but I hated them scaring me that way.
As I turned to storm out, I
heard one long, low pitiful wail that made my skin crawl, then
weeping. Because this weeping sound seemed as though it was coming
towards me fast, I flung open the door and broke into a run. I ran
half the steps that took me back down to the gates and jumped the rest
(about 10). When I hit the bottom, my friend, a security guard looked
up at me in concern. He rushed over wanting to know what happened,
and when I was done telling him. He said that I was the sixth female
that night to run out of that bathroom. Two passengers, a cleaning
lady, the female security guard who he relieved, and a TSA federal
officer.
That was my first and last time up there. I went home the
next morning and the incident stayed on my mind to the point that I
went to bed with it being the last thing ON MY MIND days after! |
