GHOSTS... THE CACHE IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 10TH...YOUR CORDS MAY

Montie Townsend, the store's assistant manager, said he first
encountered the ghosts after he went to work for the company almost
five years ago. "When I first came to work here, we'd unload a
truck and stack the tires in the back. The next day, the stack
would be knocked over," Townsend said. "... Finally, I spoke to
them and told them to quit knocking over the tires or else. They
didn't do it again." Townsend said almost all of the company's 15
employees have had some sort of an encounter, from hearing
footsteps behind them to seeing shadows move out of the corners of
their eyes. "One day, I saw a person walking by, counting his
change. He was wearing a gray uniform like the Westinghouse
elevator repair people used to wear. ... He walked into the break
room like he was going to get a Coke, and I went to see if he
needed any help finding anything," Townsend said. "But nobody was
there." The three-story building was constructed in the 1920s, and
Townsend knows of at least one death inside its walls - an elevator
repairman who fell down the length of the elevator shaft. "At one
point, I think they brought in some people to check the building
out, and they said there were several presences here, seven or
eight different entities. I thought, ‘Pshaw, right.' But then, I
saw the guy with the change." Amarillo Globe-News 2005
