I'm part production, part maintenance at a factory. None of the shifts are working this weekend so I had to go back in (I usually work 7am-3pm) to do end of the week preventative maintenance on one of our extruders in a department we call SOD (Small Order Department). It's way in the back of the building. The only entrance to the department is a big sliding door. It opens like a garage door but much faster. To open the door there are two black cords (one outside the department and one inside) hanging from the ceiling you pull on, then there's like a 10 second delay to allow forklifts and such to enter/exit before it automatically closes again. You have to give the cord a pretty sharp tug to operate it.
I went back in at 8pm. I'm the only person there, 2nd shift only worked a half shift and left at 7pm so all the lights are off. I turn only a few lights on, enough that I can see my way to back to SOD, and the radio. The lights for SOD are in the department, though. I'm walking back to SOD singing along with the radio when, and I'm still like 20 feet away from the pull cord, the door just opens. I've been doing this job for nearly 6 years and I've never seen or even heard of the door opening by itself. I froze for a second staring into the dark room before I 180'd and sprinted the fuck out of there back to my car.
So now I'm home, still freaked out, with all my lights on and just as I was pulling into my driveway I realized I left the lights and radio on at work and I'm still in my work clothes, but I ain't going back there until Monday when our shift starts. I called my boss but he didn't answer so I left him a voicemail to call me whenever. I've heard coworkers mention the SOD ghost before but I always assumed it was just an inside joke.

So, yeah, I think I finally encountered (sort of) a ghost and I ran like a bitch.

Probably something like an electrical surge or a wiring problem.

Maybe, but like I said I've never seen it or no ones ever said they've seen it. Either way I'm not going back to find out.

Does this open automatically or purely manual?

If any system wired into it, this is not a ghost.

Just got off the phone with my boss. He's fine with me not going back in, he said him and his backup are going in Sunday to do stuff anyway so he'll power everything down.

Then he told me about a time a long time ago when he and 3 others were working a Saturday in the main warehouse. They were all at lunch in the break room when the safety shower alarm sounded for a quick second, like someone accidentally tripped it then shut it off. The four of them looked at each other all confused because they didn't think anyone else was at work. My boss went to investigate. He checked all the main floor's safety showers and they were all dry. He then went into SOD where no one was working so the lights weren't on. Before he could check the shower he heard a bucket fall up on the second floor of the department. He said chills ran through his whole body and he hightailed it back to the lunch room and nonchalantly convinced the others just to call it a day and go home.

My instance could have been a weird electric malfunction but I'm convinced it wasn't. Y'all can make fun of me if you like, but fuck was that scary.

I would have left too, the fact that your boss has experienced things before adds to the possibility of the place being haunted

On Monday I plan to ask some others about the SOD ghost. I know at least 3 people that have mentioned it before.

I only left my street shoes and shorts. I had my wallet, keys, and cellphone on me when I went out onto the floor

I saw a screaming woman phase into a wall once, you think I ran out of the room? Just go back and bust on her ghost booty.

I mean

Seems like a nice ghost.

Literally opened the door for you.

Maybe you should accept the kindness.

Or it was trying to lure me into a trap.
