A couple of weeks ago I went into my doctor’s office for our seasonal check up. Of course, because I a known “Fort Lauderdalian” due to PBS, Comcast and local papers I’m known as also the “ghost guy”. Which I often would be questioned about new cases or investigations that I’m doing at the present. This time the visit was different, the employees on the staff was a bit on edge. It was just a feeling that I got upon signing in for my visit.
I sat in the examining room and waited for the doctor. When she came in we went over what I was there for which is to see if I had any issues before doing my seasonal labs. She then mentioned that I was the perfect person to ask about something that has been happening in her medical office. These occurrences have been happening before, but now additional “creepy things” are now taking place.
It was known of a employee who passed away about 5 years ago, was blames for unusual noises and in the front end desk area. That was always a running joke amoungst the employees that have been there for years. The doctor confided with me the “noises” have increased dramatically and now is affecting their communication system in the office.
I asked about any recent deaths of employees and found out that another employee had passed away. He had left the office only 3 months prior and worked for a different doctor and had gotten a heart attack and die at his home. I was in shock when I learned who it was, because I knew this man and had joked and had serious conversations with him. I was sadden and then intrigued by the occurrences.
On several occasions when employee were alone in the office, either early morning or late evening, in the bathroom, while doing their business, something was jiggling the handles while they were in there. Of course the ladies that worked there would shout out, “I’m in here”. Upon exiting and checking the office they found out they were alone. This had happened to more than 2 employees at this very busy office.
The next is baffling due to what the entity is able to do. Late at night, when either the doctor or a single employee is in the office, the conference room phone would pick up and dial the blood lab phone and leave a message. The message was not of a voice, but of a sound. The sound of a heavy binder slamming to the floor or desk could be heard only seconds after the extension’s answering service would start. Then it would hang up.
The doctor showed me what would have to happen for this to occur. How the phone would have to be picked up or extension button depressed. Then dial the extension, wait for a ring, then the answering system, and then the slam with hang up. Whew, I thought, this was something that I have to witness myself. She told me that they did have the message, but the employees got so creeped out by hearing this slamming sound that they erased the message, only after the whole staff got a chance to hear it. This event happened more than once and the noises of a binder slamming happened to the doctor as she worked in her personal office. She went to the conference room to see what binder might have fallen. None could be found.
My doctor wants me to conduct an investigation into these occurrences. We both believe that it might be ex-employee/employees that could be doing this haunt. Although not considered a malevolent spirit, the events seem very practical joke like.
This case will be different for me due to that I know the employees that died that worked for this office. I might get some unusual EVP’s due to this and look forward to seeing what we will get. I’ll share them with you, my blog readers, about what the outcome of the investigation, when everything is in and gone over.
