Not unusual. Building alarms go off. It happens.

But this one was different. The monitoring system is set up to call when the microphones pick up sound inside the building. They called to let us know the mics had been triggered.

By a girl. Laughing. For about ten minutes. Nobody was scheduled to be there that night.

We work in this building year-round, building sets, designing new scenes, making it worse for you. We know every sound it makes. We know when something’s off.

A security guard who does walkthroughs won’t go into the basement anymore. Separate people, different years, have seen figures moving past the second floor windows when the building was locked up.

We’re not saying it’s haunted. We’re just saying the security company doesn’t usually call us to chat about laughing.
