“At my old job, I worked with photographic film. A large portion of my job was spent in a large, mostly dark room. One night, it was only me and one other coworker…”
“I won’t explain the entire room layout, but there was a thin elevator that brought large rolls of film from the floor above us. The elevator had a sensor that triggered an alarm and stopped it from moving if you put something in it when the lid wasn’t down. Behind the elevator, on the other side of the opening, there was a chair, and across the room was a machine for exposing film strips. The distance between it and the elevator is about 20 feet.
I was sitting in the chair, waiting for an issue with production to be straightened out so we could continue with our work, and my coworker was working at the machine against the wall. Everything was dead silent, and then the alarm started going off. My coworker and I both jumped out of our skin.
She asked me if I messed with it, and I said no. I turned the alarm off. It’s a clean room environment, no bugs or dust to trigger the alarm. I worked there for five years, and it only happened that once. I never really felt comfortable in that room on night shift on my own, I always felt like something was watching.”
