When I was the security guard for a five story building, it was very boring until things slowly started happening to me late at night while doing my rounds. First it was simple things like the elevator going up and down by itself, with no one around, and shadows appearing on the walls.
Then I was told to start patroling the basement as well, in this basement was a storage room with a four inch dead bolt. I went in to check the closet in the room, and lock it up for the night when all of a sudden.. BAM! I hear the door shut behind me, I rush to it flicking my extending shock rod as I went, but before I could even test my rod to make it was working..I noticed that the dead bolt was locked! This is a key entry only dead bolt, I was STUCK!
I was stuck in this room for two hours tell the next shift came on duty.
There is NO way to debunk it, it was a dead bolt, no way it could have locked automaticly or by mechanical failure. The door was a heavy steel door which would not close by itself, and this was a basement with no draft to cause it to close. I will NEVER enter that room again.
That's freaky!
I take it you were the only one on duty at that time?
Did you have a cell phone to call out? Or any phone?
No I only carried a emergency alert button, which summoned the police. Since I wasnt sure if it was a intruder or not, I didnt press it. I also carried a shock wand, which is a collapsable rod with a tazzer at its tip. This is often used for cattle, however works just as good for personal defense. Other then that, I carried the keys to the doors, this place used a master key for all apartments but separate keys for all security doors.
Geez. That must have been the longest two hours of your life. 😮 I have deadbolts on my home doors and you have to lock them with a key. There is no way they could bolt by themselves.
That is definitely freaky. How'd the next person on shift know to check you there?? I wonder what was going through their mind when they first arrived and couldn't find you right away. I totally feel for you getting locked in a room on your own like that.
That room was added to our rounds. Believe me if I thought he wasnt going to check in, I would of defintly pressed the button.lol
