Working on a Bank Holiday...

Working all day in a building that is close to a hundred years old does not do great things for my imagination.

Having locked up a few minutes late thanks to some people desperate to read every last thing of the displays, I went around doing the usual - flipping the lights and knocking off the computers.  It was while I was cashing up that something caught my eye on the security system.  In one of the rooms there was a shimmering light, constantly moving.  Earlier I'd already caught something in the corner of the little shop as I saw rolls of map slide across the floor.  Wondering if someone was hiding there I'd gone to explore to find nothing.  So when I saw this light I kept and eye on it for a few minutes thinking it was my imagination.  But no it kept shimmering.

So I cashed up, put it safely in the safe before returning downstairs and entering the room next to it.  When I'm in there I hear the unmistakable sound of furniture scraping against wood.  As if someone has pushed a wooden chair across the floor.  I froze.  Took a couple of minutes to get a grip on myself then walked around into the darkened room.  It was still, quiet and everything in place but the light was on.  I'd definitely turned it off when I'd turned off the projector.  At any rate it wasn't moving like it had been on the camera.

I swear that that place is haunted!  Especially considering listening to the video all day seems to have burnt an auditory pattern on my brain and it's literally all I can hear on loop...



In other news, the City was celebrating the Battle of Neville's Cross.  I was made aware of this when a horse dressed in a elaborate blanket trotted passed with a knight in full chain mail armor on it's back.  The weird thing was that his leader on foot came in in all of his dress asking for someone that I've never heard of and all I could do was look at him in a bemused sense.  However, during my lunch hour I went and took pictures whilst listening to the amusing characters talk about bow and arrows and watch them start a mini attack on one another.
