Not Everyone Left Woolworths

This is my first time so every one be gentle.

I once worked at a Woolworths' store, in Ilford anyone from the area will know where it once was and there was a lot of strange going-ons happening there.

I will only go into detail about the two things that happened to me, as everything else is second-hand information and I might not get it down right. My first experience was as I was sitting in the break room drinking a can of Coke.

I placed my drink on the table to continue to read my book. About five minutes later I went to pick up my drink only to see it spinning slowly on the table by itself. There was no way any thing normal like wind was doing this and to be frank, I'm sure wind cannot make a half full can spin!

The second and most freaky advent that happened to me was as I was working in the Cafe prepping up sandwiches to sell to the Woolworth customers.

I had just finish making up four of them ready to be cut in half and placed in their boxes when I reached for bread knife I noticed that, like the can a couple of months before, it was spinning! I called out to my boss to come over and have a look as I wanted a witness like I had for the can, just to prove to myself that I was not going mad. When she ran over and asked why I shouted for her, the knife stopped... Blade first, pointing at me!

My boss missed the spinning knife but she had no problems believing me, as she said my face went white as a sheet. After that I had to sit at the back of the Cafe as far from the knife as I could for about half an hour before I could compose myself.

As I said, these are not the only things that happened in that store, but they are the ones directly seen by me. The only other thing was as me and a friend who was locking the store up got the signing out book so the night team could go, we both heard someone working at one of the shelves. When we went to tell them to get their stuff ready to go, no one was there.

We checked with the guys waiting for us to get the book but everyone was accounted for, and it did not end there. As I was waiting to be picked up, I had my headphones on so could not hear anything when I noticed my friend had returned. I took of my headphones to ask why he was back, to get my answer before I even asked it... The store alarm had been set off, the motion alarms that were set at shoulder height.

I have some more stuff that I was told happened in the store. Some sighting, others strange smells or noises but all second or third hand information.

Whatever the truth, I believe that someone or something is still there and has not left the store when we closed and locked the store for the final time.
