Should I be worried about my safety?

Question

Ok I am a university student and I have a part time job in a old library that used to be an old freight engine repair shop in teh 1800s where many ppl have died of accidents. I am a skeptic but I think I saw a ghost while catolouging in a room alone. An old radio in the room turns on the jazz CD that is in the radio when it is umpluggged and has no batteries. I get up to turn it off and just when i am about it back down in my chiar it turns back on again. it always waits till i walk all the way across the room. also something leans on the back of my chair and breathes in my ear when i am sitting catalouging things. the chair is im the middle of the room so i would see if it were a person doing it and it isnt. It tips my chair back as if it were leaning on the back of my chair. It feels peacefull. Also I can see someone in overalls that disapears into thin air and looks like it is talking to some invisible being and is not aware of me and says it is looking for his wrench.

Answer 1

Tell him he's dead and to go into the light.

Answer 2

No, you should not be worried about your safety.

I agree with psi on this one completly. This all sounds a little to much like a book. It should be easy to prove there are ghosts there if this stuff is happening.

If these ghosts are from the 1800, I dont see why they would be interested in Jazz. I would think they would try to slip a ragtime 78 speed record into the CD player.

Answer 3

I wouldn't worry.  Just let them have their muisic.  The rest sound like a residual haunting.  If the breathing in your ear bothers you just tell them you are working and to go away.

It is most likely the same one who is turning on the music.

Answer 4

WOW!! Very creepy!! Are you alone all the time? I'd sure let him listen to his music. I'd get kinda upset about the chair though. Let him know you don't appreciate that ..or breathing in your ear. Tell him to STOP! Tell him if he wants to stay there he needs to act appropriately ..ie..BEHAVE! If he behaves..and it doesn't bother you...then ok. But if it doesn't behave or if it scares you..I'd get someone who knows about these things to come and try to get him to leave.

Answer 5

I think it would be interesting to see if you couldn't strike up a conversation with the spirit that hangs out around your chair.

Apparently they can see us, but it would be interesting to know how it is that we appear to them.

Are were translucent?

Are we solid as we see ourselves?

If they were aware of both World Wars?

If they eat?

If they are stuck, what is causing them to stay?

Answer 6

u r very brave. in ur place  i wud  have quit the  job immediately. but  since  u dont  get  bad  vibes,i  guess  they dont  have  any  malintent . but 2 b on the  safer side,  recite the lords prayer(  very protective.). and stay safe.

Answer 7

That's not paranormal activity. That's a creepy janitor messing about with you. Yes.. I would be concerned about your safety. See if you can carry a can of Mace with you every time you  go there from now on.

Answer 8

It can be frightening....but he wont hurt you...when the music comes on, take notice of if it has any words in it....maybe hes trying to tell you something, it can be very hard for them to try and communicate when they cannt be seen (properly) and cannt talk...sounds like hes trying to get your attention...Id get so frustrated, that id start throwing things at people..lol...

Answer 9

It doesn't sound like the type of haunting that puts an individual in danger. Most likely the spirit you're sensing is just going about his daily business and is interested in you as much as you are in him.

As always, if you're very curious about the individual or want to contact him, research the figure you see carefully, talk to others around you. Find out if anyone else has seen/heard/experienced the same situations.

If it's something that bothers you or makes you feel uncomfortable, you can consider ignoring it. Contrary to popular belief, if you persistently shut your mind to a peaceful haunting often it will just stop appearing to you.

Incidentally, I used to work in a library with a special collection. The owner of the books i was working with used to smoke a pipe religiously. Every now and then I'd smell fresh pipe smoke and the books would move when I wasn't looking. And, sometimes there would be tapping on the shelves where I'd removed books to look at. But, the previous owner was known as a ginormous grump, especially about his books.

Answer 10

not to worry, someone on the otherside is just interested in what you are doing.  the overall guy is probably talking to his guide, who remains not able to be seen with the human eye.  if he is always looking for his wrench, then it may be an implant.  something that remains there, playing over and  over again.  like  a movie that gets stuck at one spot.

Answer 11

if you don't get uneasy/ malicious feelings you're probably ok... i feel like if they were mad or dangerous they would certianly let you know.... on the other hand some say all spirits are bad and even the nice ones are just tricking you.... really it all depends on what you believe and your own comfort levels.  if you can stand it i think it'd be pretty neat to hang around and see what happens. i personally haven't got the guts, haha, but if you do you'll have some pretty cool stories to tell i'm sure. also they say spirits are attracted to certian people or certian people are more perceptive- so even if you got out of there chances are it could just be you! .... or it could be a strong place in and of it self. sorry for all the double sided convo- good luck!

i agree with twilite- when something happens in my family's victorian house and it makes us uneasy, as soon as we ask it to stop, it stops... but i've never noticed anything as strong as what you describe

Answer 12

I guess they are peaceful spirits trapped there for some reasons, probably black people judging for the Jazz music they like.

Answer 13

Nah. If there were something threatening there you'd feel it. That feels peaceful gives me a very big clue that he's just there with the building. He likes Jazz, obviously, and I think he just likes to lean on your chair and watch you work.

but no, you're not in danger. You'd feel it. He's harmless. :)

Answer 14

First. I have to say that your story is a little too text book to not be seriously questioned. No personal safety does not sound like an issue in this case. Making up stories can only hurt your character and reputation not affect your safety.

On the huge assumption that even parts of this story are true I give this answer.

1. An old radio would not have the ability to play a CD.

2. Have you attempted just removing the CD ?

3. Feeling temperature and air (breezes) is highly

     subjective and you could be imagining this.

4. If the chair actually tips back then this is recordable on

    video and would offer evidence of the event.

5. If you can hear what the person is saying it should be

    possible to record the words (tape recorder) to establish

    that you are hearing with your ears not with your mind

6. The link below will help you locate an investigative

    group. Every group that exist is looking for evidence as

    strong as what you are claiming is taking place.  

Psi

Answer 15

I don't think you have anything to worry about, but if you do, I would suggest praying whenever you encounter these types of phenomena.

Answer 16

You will be ok. He sounds like he won't cause you any harm. let the music play. Obviously they like jazz music.

Answer 17

No, It may not even know you are there.

This is what is called a Residual Haunting, A residual haunting is a playback of a past event.

Just sit back & watch them. Residual's are neat and interesting to watch.

Answer 18

I love it when a skeptic finally sees something...and admits it!!!!  Hey good for you, that was a bold step for you to relay your experience here.

You may have what is known as a residual haunting there in the library.  They don't know or do they care that you are there.  They will never interact with you for that reason.  They just go about in death doing what they did in life.  Its what some call an imprint.

You are not in any danger.  They should be a source of interest for you and possibly others to watch and make notes.  You can even video and audio tape the events where the activity is best.

Good luck to you...and have a blast with it.

Answer 19

who knows?

(a) try to "clean" that space using some specific procedures

(ex.: <>http://healing.about.com/od/tools/ig/Hea... or <>http://healing.about.com/od/empathic> or <>...)http://www.newspiritservices.com/entity>...

(b) ask a priest to come with you for seeing the space of the old library and to "clean" it up by different entities

(c) ask somebody to stay with you for a while and check what will happened

Answer 20

Nothing to worry about.

I grew up in a haunted house.

Just treat them with respect and you will be fine.

If you make them mad at you; then you have something to worry about.

Answer 21

While I belief in the existence of the spirits of the deceased, I do not belief that they have "leave" to come and a hunt places. That is not how God's "Plan of Salvation" works.   I would ignore what you seem to be imagining and not give heed to those thoughts in your mind.   You will be protected by God's grace and he would not let you or any other of his children be unwillingly influenced by the deceased.

Now, if you are actively seeking out contact with the deceased, this is a different story.

Answer 22

He does not sound dangerous, a little mischievious or playful maybe.... The first thing I would do is ask him his name. He will answer you in thoughts, acknowledge  him, he is probably lonely.  If he gets to be too much, you can ask him to step back.

Answer 23

No you have nothing to worry about.You're either imagining it,someone is playing tricks or you have seen ghosts.The other possibility,if you are indeed a skeptic.You are making it up.
