Rumors that one of our elevators is haunted...?

Question

The building I live in on my college campus used to have a pool on the roof (it's ten stories tall), and some chairs and stuff. It was built in the '70s, and I'm sure things like that were nice back then. But in the early '90s, a few kids, about the time finals rolled around, jumped off and killed themselves, and they closed the roof off and fenced the edges.

We have two elevators and now there are rumors going around that the one on the left is haunted. It has a tendency to go to the 9th floor by itself, and stick there with the doors wide open. When I get on it by myself, to go down to the first floor, the doors will start to close and then open again, one more time, as if letting another person onto the elevator with me. Also, two girls who don't even know each other have both said that when you ride it to the tenth floor (which is the co-ed floor and where the study lounge, entertainment lounge, laundry facility, etc are located), the little screen where the floor number registers says "HELP". Not entirely certain whether to believe that one or not, but now it's got me freaked out, and I'm afraid to ride that elevator by myself lol. Should I be worried?

Answer 1

Someone is playing with your gullibility. If you are really interested, investigate it yourself. Opinions aren't proof.

Answer 2

As a lift safety inspector I can tell you that this kind of problem happens all over the world. It isn't ghosts or Jesus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It's simply the electronic controls playing up because of poor design or malfunction.

Why do people ascribe a supernatural explanation to things they don't underdstand? I think we know the answer to that, don't we?

Answer 3

It's just a lie or trick.

Answer 4

Demons work for Satan and if they think ppl think it's haunted they will show up to make ppl fear.  They will cause weird happenings like that too.  And they hang around in places where death has occurred. Accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord.  He alone protects us from them.  He alone can send them away.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life."

Answer 5

It's all in the mind.  In reality, whatever has occurred on that elevator is due to nothing more than a mere slight malfunction - no such thing as ghosts or hauntings.  As I said, it's all in the mind.  

Answer 6

I wouldn't be.. not worried anyways. Maybe a little creeped out. But now I wanna ride it to see if the 10th floor really says "help"!!
