A few weeks ago, my father officially rented an old video store, and in it's place built his own business there. This building is somewhat old, but no older than the 1980's. It has not been used for anything but a video store until recently when we got it.
It is somewhat small ; upon entry, you see to your right a small room, in front of you, a counter, a hallway of shelves, and a small room [that is our office]. To the left is a wide open space with a small room in the back and a bathroom/storage room built in the middle. There is also a storage room outside.
When we first moved in, I thought it was nice. It was big and roomy. But my feelings changed upon entering the bathroom. The bathroom is really two rooms joined: a small room with a big shelf on the wall and the bathroom is across from that.
I entered the bathroom. It was completely dark, and I'm not afraid of the dark by the way. I suddenly got this bad feeling; a mix of emotions. I felt sad and oppressed and hurt and afraid and angry all at the same time. The hairs stood up on my neck and arms, I felt some static [which I know is sometimes a sign of spirit activity]. I flipped on the lights, and some of the feelings left. I just had this feeling of pure evil in the room. There was this heavy, dark feeling looming in the room. Every time I turned around or looked somewhere else, I expected to see something or somebody staring at me. I got out of the bathroom immediatly. It's been six weeks, and the dark feeling has grown less oppressive. But it's still there, a little. I fear going in with the lights off.
I believe that I may have an explanation for the feelings. The room has a lock, and there was a special key for it. It is believed that the previous owner kept adult movies in this room. Now I have never heard of pornography movies giving off bad energy, but we also have a feeling that some of the videos may not have been "commercially bought", in other words, possibly made at somebody's home and given to him to use. Lots of fear and darkness is in this room. I get the chills going into it. In the bathroom, there are words "carved" into the walls. From what I can see, the words are "Du has" and I can't make out what else is there. Also, believe it or not, the word "Help" is carved above the lightswitch.
There have been other strange occurances. The front doors are heavy, REALLY heavy glass doors. You have to literally push to get through them. Well, I heard one slam and looked up to see it open a little more and slam again. The bells over the door rang twice. I jumped up and went around the store, looking to see who had come in. Sometimes kids come in and get away before you see them. I thought maybe it was the wind. The only thing was there were no cars anywhere near the building, no children anywhere, and no wind. I was alone at the time.
Also, another worker would back me up that we both heard something heavy crash to the floor. We work with heavy stuff, and we had a bunch of boxes laying around. We thought a box had toppled. Nothing. THere was nothing on the floors, nothing that made the noise. I thought maybe it was in the bathroom or the storage room, both of which share a wall next to where the sound occured; both were completely empty. Since then I have only heard two other things fall that did not.
I want to take our infared video camera up there and film a bit, see what there is. I have not gotten the chance yet, but I have this strange feeling like it's dangerous to be in there alone. I sometimes feel a tightening on my chest, energy changes in the room [there's lots of static in the bathroom and the room that's right outside the bathroom]. I will admit that we work with objects that attract and sometimes create lots of energy, heat, and static changes and charges, but this is just a different kind of static and energy, I think. It feels different, and it scares me.
THE END
