This is a first attempt at building a web page on my own and I have a true ghost story to tell!
When the Target store where I work first opened, many strange things were happening. There were unexplained "cold spots" around the store and boxes and plastic cups sometimes jumped from the shelves with no explanation. Very spooky!
One day, after the store had been open for about two years, an unattended cash register began to ring up a sale for a "ghostly customer"! The register started clicking away, all by itself, totalling up "purchases" and entering the amount of the sale as just under $20 worth of items. Now this was unusual, but then it accepted the "amount tendered" as a $20 bill and the cash drawer opened all by itself. Nobody there to get the change, but we expected the money to magically float out of the drawer by that time!
I know this happened, because our Security cameras caught it on their tape. A special "screening" was held in the break room for all of us who has heard the story. Yes, you could see the items by name and price appearing on the screen and then the total, the amount tendered and the change due......and *gasp* the little boy in the checkout lane next to it who jumps in fright as the cash drawer opens! No other sales were made in the store that day with that amount or the same purchases....and, as far as we know, no other Target store had a sale on that day that matched the items! no explanation was possible for any of us... except our ghost!
As far as we know, our "spirit" is a friendly, slightly mischievous fellow and may be a remnant of the Civil War days.....many battles were fought in the area nearby. I don't know what to believe about the presence in our store but I know it did happen and strange things continue to happen periodically......sometimes to people I know wouldn't make up anything like this and who normally don't believe in ghosts!
Wishing you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
BOO!
