Haunted Grocery Store

This is a story that didn't really happen to me, but it still is interesting. My family used to own a store about two or three years ago. It has two floors, the grocery store part, and the floor with the apartments, and of course the basement. I guess I should say it had three floors! The store was very old, and many people owned it before we did.

There was this one family that owned it a long time ago. The father of that family loved to hang around in the store, and he and one of his sons died. The other son and his wife moved away, and a different set of owners moved in. Finally, we owned the store, and we started to notice very odd things.

At night, when the store closed and we all counted the money we earned that day, we would hear the beep sound that goes off whenever someone walks in the store by itself. This would happen only sometimes. But my uncle would be in the store by himself real late at night and would stay in his office. He would hear the beep sound as if someone came in, but he didn't hear the doors open, and there wouldn't be anyone like an intruder around.

He also said that sometimes, while counting the money, he would feel like someone is behind him staring at him. This would make him feel uncomfortable and he would quickly go upstairs to the second floor to his apartment. I even heard the beeper go off myself, even during the day.

Now, one time, my uncle asked my grandfather to go down to the basement and get him something from there. The basement is real big and dark and there are a lot of rooms down there that have no doors. The basement had a very uncomfortable feel to it. Anyways, my grandfather went down there and he heard someone walking.

He ran out of there real quick. He ran up the stairs, and pushed out the door. He told my uncle that he will never go down there to get something for him again. Another time, my uncle was going through the basement, and he found some real old photos that didn't belong to us. He took them out, and we looked at them kind of like it was history of the store. They obviously belonged to previous store owners.

I'm not sure if this is such evidence that the store was haunted, but I think it was. I mean, two people died there for crying out loud. But who knows, maybe the reason the beeper was going off was because it was broken, and maybe the basement had an uncomfortable feel to it just because of anxiety we would have whenever we would go down. But I have no idea how to explain the footsteps down in the basement. I guess we'll never know, because we don't have that store anymore. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my story!
