Naturally, he was a bit alarmed and concerned, so he pulled his truck to the side of the road to get out and help her. One night he was driving down a winding road through the forest on the way to San Francisco, and in his headlights he saw a woman on the road, barefoot and waiving her arms for help. At the time, he was a commercial raft guide and also had friends in the Bay Area, so he went back and forth often for errands and stuff. Kinda similar story (not me, but my dad): During the late 70s, Nevada City (CA) and the surrounding areas had a big drug crisis, mostly meth and pot, and my dad had already been living there for a while in the house he had built a few years before (he wasn't involved in any drug making or selling). Maybe there's a logical explanation for it (elevator malfunction, etc) but it was really damn freaky since the place was generally kinda creepy and night and there had been some other weird things. We stared for a bit longer before simultaneously looking at each other and saying "what the fuck dude!?" The next day we ask a couple of the other guys about it and one of the guys said the same thing happened to him in the middle of the night when he was by himself, he said he almost shit himself. The doors usually close after 5 seconds or so, but we stared at it for a good 20-30 seconds or so before they closed and the elevator returned back to the lobby. We both keep staring completely still and silent and it becomes really fucking creepy as time goes on and the doors don't shut, as if something is standing in doorway blocking the sensor. Nobody is there, no-one pushed the button, nothing. We stare like a deer in headlights completely motionless at the doors as they open. I can't explain how much I didn't want those doors to open. We're both in the lobby about 15 feet away from the elevator and we give each other the hardest "WTF" stare ever. It made sense until all of a sudden we see it stop at our floor and we hear the door ding. So although it's weird, we just figure someone must still be in the building and called it from a different floor. The other guy looks at the cameras and there's nothing at all, no-one in the elevator either. The whole building is all offices so really there is nobody in the building past 5-6pm besides us, so we thought it was a bit strange. Well anyway, one of the nights I was working the overnight shift and it was just me and another dude (doing cleaning, maintenance etc) when we hear the elevator start running at probably like 3:30 in the morning. There was a camera at the front entrance downstairs, another at the elevator entrance, and one inside the elevator, all of which could be viewed from the front desk of the studio so when people arrived you would buzz them in, wait until you saw them enter the elevator and then you would have to push the button for the studio floor to bring the elevator up. Anyway, it was on an upper floor of a building and due to the amount of expensive equipment inside, you could not access that floor by elevator without someone letting you up, the button for that floor was locked out so you couldn't press it from inside the elevator. I used to intern in a recording studio in NYC years ago where it was technically open 24/7, meaning there was always someone there whether clients were in or not. >!insert spoiler here!< Other subreddits you might like: some Mod posts Serious posts Megathread Breaking news Unfilter Please use spoiler tags to hide spoilers.
