It was quiet. And dark. And peaceful. I’ve been sitting here doing homework.

But then.

Suddenly.

My printer made a noise.

But if I didn’t turn it on...

And no one else did...

THEN WHO WAS PRINT?

The ghosts in your room. Maybe don’t turn around

I was working out of a satellite office for a couple of months last year and the printer would randomly not print my shit if it was after 5 o’clock. My boss would come in after hours sometimes and he could print just fine, but me? Nope.

Back in my regular office, we’re right next to a cemetery. The phone will regularly ring and the caller ID will say “Line 1.” We’re a tiny, open floor plan office, and it’s clear that none of us are calling to pull a prank. It happens at least once a day, every day. We always say it’s a ghost.

About a month back, I kept hearing a soft knocking noise in the vicinity of my desk for two days straight. It sounded like someone very lightly knocking on solid wood. Sometimes it sounded like it was behind my chair, sometimes it sounded like it was just slightly in front of me to my left. No one sits behind me and my desk is made of metal. When you knock on it, it makes a telltale metallic clanging sound. Sometimes it sounded like it was IN my desk. I pulled out my drawers to see if something was in there like a mouse or something, even though I knew there wasn’t. The knocking was usually quiet enough that only I could hear it, but on the second day it was loud enough for my coworker to hear it from halfway across the room.

There’s other stuff that goes on like that all the time in that office. Every time something does, we just joke that it’s “the ghost.” I don't believe in ghosts, but if there IS something metaphysical hanging around my office, it doesn't seem to be malicious, just noisy. Heh.

Just imagine them. Getting closer. And closer. Seeing everything you do. Feeling your fear. Sometime soon, they’re going to reach out. And you’ll fall with them.

My dad prints stuff to his neighbors printers if they are networked without encryption or if the printer has its own wifi.

That is both hilarious and creepy.

Good thing my printer is set up for wired connections only.

Yeah well that’s what happens when you’re a MS in engineering, spent 30 years in a tech giant and gave too much time on your hands.
