So, we have something REALLY weird going on!
Going back through the ages of Maslands, we had an employee called Percy Thomas Gale - dear old Percy. Percy worked with us for about 20 years and died circa 1985. Percy loved it with us at Maslands, a compositor back in the days of letterpress. We've often wondered if, after his death, Percy decided to come back and stay around the comforting aroma of fresh ink and paper.
Over the years we have experienced several 'anomolies' which we have always tried to explain with fact and logic - power surges, drafts, practical jokes! To name a few occurences - normally during late and night shifts or early starts - the photocopier has lit up and the scanner moved across as if taking a copy, but the power to the machine is not on. The 'lunchtime' football has been kicked across repro overnight. A team members loose tea change was stacked into neat orderly piles. I myself have sat at my desk on an overnight shift and listened to the doors swing and bang below me, as if someone had entered the repro department, only to check CCTV and see the only other member of staff stood loading his press. Doors have swung open vigorously before they have been touched. There have been loud bangs on the delivery entrance as if a driver is waiting with a load, only to discover no-one there and nothing showing on our CCTV when checked. Most frequently mentioned is the sight of someone walking across the mezzanine only when you look up, no-one is there (very recently mentioned by a recent temp worker, covering a night shift, who had no idea of our spooky happenings!). There is a general feel, when all is quiet, that you are not alone.
So you're probably thinking we're all mad, falling for the supernatural hype!! However, when an employee forgot to clock out yesterday, they asked if we could check CCTV to log the time they left. Not a problem... Just can't explain what else Tash saw on the CCTV!!
Now we really are all very rational people, but we're stumped! IS THIS PERCY?! (bottom right frame, click to zoom)
