    In the 80s i worked for a haulage company that was sited in a hanger on a lonely old air base,it was a deserted place , large and wutheing when the wind blew , each night before he finished the boss parked each lorry in the old hanger in order of deprture time , the first out went in last so as they were nearer the door .

    At 4.30 am one snowy wintery morning i turned up at the big old dark green hanger doors and struggled in the cold and wet to unlock the creaky door that lead through the bigger door into the expanse of darkness that was the hanger , just behind the door was a small wooden drivers room where we kept a kettle etc and our notes , i flicked on the dim light filled the kettle and made my way to the cab to do my tacho etc before opening the big doors and moving out .

    In the glow of my small cab light aided by the dull glare of the rest room light i began filling in my charts , i had the cab door open and felt the presence of someone ducking under my cab door , " morning " i chanted as you do , no reply .

    i thought it was a miserable old driver whos truck was behind mine , i thought no more of it , i went into the rest room made my tea , and shouted to ask if "Eric " the miserable sod wanted one , no reply .

    i opened the big sliding doors and cursed the miserable sod for not helping as it was a heavy old door and it was customary for people to help each other .

    At this moment i heard a low moan , i made my way down the old hanger looking for Eric fearing the worst , i could'nt find him - i wondered if he had gone back out , but no one had passed me and i had distinctly heard a moan from inside the hanger , i searched high and low for Eric and was beginning to fear the worst .

    Then another driver " Steve " turned up , i told him what had gone on , he looked at me and said ," oh , you have just encountered old Frank , the ghost ".

    Now i am not one to fall for fairy storys and i told him as much , he just rolled his eyes and went to make a tea .

    Over the year i was there i encountered similar things a lot , in the end the gateman who had been there since it was a RAF base told me he knew well the story of old Frank , apparantly he was a stores man who came in each morning at a quarter to five , one night he discovered his wife with another man , he said nothing , came into the hanger at his usual time and hung himself from a cross beam .

    i still don't believe in ghosts but that was a earie place to work !.

    Do you have any unexplained storys .
