The LIFT

The ghost

By Sharvesh SharveshPublished about a year ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a high-rise building that was known for its grand architecture and advanced technology. The building had state-of-the-art elevators that were operated by a complex computer system. The elevators were said to be so fast that one could reach the top floor in a matter of seconds. However, there was one elevator that was different from the rest. The residents of the building referred to it as the "haunted lift".

People would often avoid using the haunted lift because of the strange things that happened in it. The elevator would suddenly stop between floors, the lights would flicker, and eerie noises could be heard coming from the speakers. Many people reported seeing a ghostly figure standing in the corner of the lift, and some even claimed to have felt cold hands touching their shoulder. The residents of the building were so afraid of the haunted lift that they stopped using it altogether.

One day, a young man named Alex decided to move into the building. He was intrigued by the stories he had heard about the haunted lift, and wanted to see if they were true. On his first day in the building, he decided to take the haunted lift to the top floor. The moment he stepped inside, the lift doors closed, and the elevator started to move. Suddenly, the lights flickered and the lift came to a stop between two floors. The air became icy cold, and Alex felt a cold hand touch his shoulder.

He turned around to see a ghostly figure standing in the corner of the lift. The ghostly figure had a pale face and long hair, and it was staring directly at Alex with its glowing eyes. Alex was so frightened that he couldn't move. The ghostly figure started to move towards him, and Alex felt its cold breath on his face. Suddenly, the lift started to move again, and the ghostly figure disappeared.

The next day, Alex decided to go to the building's security office to report what had happened. The security guard listened to his story, but he didn't believe him. The guard told Alex that the haunted lift was just a myth, and that there was no such thing as ghosts. However, Alex was convinced that what he had seen was real, and he decided to investigate the matter further.

He started to ask the other residents of the building about the haunted lift. He discovered that there had been a young woman who lived in the building many years ago. She had been working late one night and was on her way home when the lift stopped between floors. The woman was trapped in the lift for hours, and she eventually died of starvation. It was said that her ghost still haunts the lift to this day.

Alex decided to conduct his own investigation. He went to the top floor and entered the haunted lift. The moment he stepped inside, the lift doors closed, and the elevator started to move. This time, however, Alex was prepared. He had brought a camera with him, and he started to take pictures of the ghostly figure. The moment the ghostly figure appeared, Alex snapped a photo. The next day, he had the photo developed, and to his surprise, the ghostly figure was clearly visible in the picture.

Alex showed the photo to the security guard, who was shocked by what he saw. The guard called in a team of paranormal investigators, who confirmed that the haunted lift was indeed haunted. The investigators discovered that the ghostly figure was the young woman who had died in the lift many years ago. They believed that her spirit was still trapped in the lift, and that she was trying to find her way home.

The building management decided to take action, and they hired a team of ghost hunters
