Haunted Stories From Security

University Attempted Suicide

worked on one the university campuses. in one of the blocs (not going to say which one, but its above a carpark Brisbane peeps holla) there is a bathroom over in the same area on every floor. Except one (no its not floor 13, that'd be cliche and retarded) according to the older guards that particular bathroom has been the site of many attempted student suicides, mainly slashed wrists. It got to the point that if a call to security came from that building, we'd also send a guy straight from the office with the larger first aid kit.

Sure enough I spent six months there and got to experience one of these cutting events. The student was a foreigner and when we received the call for emergency assistance during the middle of the day, the guy was on the ground outside the bathroom bleeding and all he kept saying was that it "all became too much". The guard that had worked there for 30 years says they all say damn near the same thing.

Brisbane, Australia people should know this place, New.

Okay, so this place is like premium haunted ground in Brisbane, its got lots of ghost tales and all over blown. We had the site sub-contracted to us. Its on a internal, so you go in to the creepy place, turn off the alarm, walk around to make sure it hasn't been magically ransacked and the alarm not activating. Did I mention there's a basement? because it sure as fuck has a creepy basement and because who ever wrote up the job has a sick sense of humour, you have to exit out of that basement and reset the alarm at the basement exit panel. Which is at the end of a flight of stairs in pitch blackness because God is dead in the land of Security.

Any who, one night I was on the run and doing the internal, after the first few nights of doing it the creepiness goes away and it becomes just a normal part of the job. As I was exiting via the stair case I noticed a shadow, that wasn't my shadow quickly whirling round in the most frantic manner because I thought I was about to get my head caved in I found nothing, but the shadow, the shadow was still there, went away with the light from my torch of course, shadow followed me all the way to the exit. Fuck that place.

We get payed extra to do this place.

Now this one is a weird one, because it seems to be a mixture of Security Guard laziness and superstition rolled into one. There's a building in the CBD thats meant to be haunted. All the guards that go there are meant to do a internal but never do, instead you're taught to go in, switch off the alarm, fuck around on the ground floor (never go up past floor 2). Switch on the alarm and say "Good night" to the alarm. Now if you do not say good night. You better believe that alarm is going to be going off ever 2 hours on different floors. Never go up to investigate, just go in, reset alarm, remember to wish the building a good night and leave.

One guard didn't though, this was told to me by the former Patrol Manager for Chubb Security. He went up to the 7th floor to investigate the alarm. Which was a cafeteria (? if memory serves me correctly) the Police responded to shots fired (bare in mind back until 2005 most patrol security in Australia carried guns and a few still do) in the building a few minutes after he'd radioed that he was going in to investigate. The report the Manager (now a Co-Worker of mine) received reported he believed he was being attacked by a assailant, the guy fired six shots into mostly the wall and swears there was someone there. Police scoured the place and couldn't find anyone.

Edit: Wow I didn't expect this to be so popular, this was my first post to Imgur, you guys are amazing.
