Oooooo YES here we go.
Okay so I used to work at the Royal BC Museum and worked night shifts, I would usually be stationed on the third floor for the cleaning - this was the old town on one side and First Peoples on the other side. I would often smell a cigar being smoked, and it wasn't part of any exhibits. I would often hear a mans voice say "The doctor is in" - Doctor Helmcken was the Pioneer doctor in Victoria BC where I live, and his house is still on the grounds - Ill go more into that later.
As well, I would often see a man in a white coat walk through the galleries - keep in mind, I am the ONLY person on this floor, its night shift, and I am alone, the rest of the team is on Second and Main floor. I was cleaning the Old Town once listening to Slayer on top volume in my headphones, I heard a little girl say "Hi, my name is Sarah!" which obviously is NOT in any of their songs. I had a phone call from my mom once, and I answered her while I was using the backpack Vac - which is super loud so again I had headphones in. She stopped me mid conversation and was like, who is calling your name? And Im like oh, what okay. So I turn off the vac and take the headphones out and yell out "Hello?" and I waited and heard nothing. So I put the headphones back in and my mom was FREAKING THE FUCK OUT yelling at me "Who the FUCK is that?! They are growling your name!" like, my FULL LEGAL NAME. No one called me by my full name. No one ever calls me by my full name.
So back to Helmcken House and the doctor! I had a call once that they thought they had rats or mice in there dead in traps so I had to go and clear them. But because Helmcken house is so old and historic security had to escort me, so I was going with my buddy who was security and we got inside the house in the foyer and he was like aight, so you need to check all the rooms and be careful on the attic stairs because they are narrow yadda yadda, and im like??? are you not coming with me??? and he was like "Absolutely not. They dont pay me enough to hangout with the doctor." and im like okay pussy whatever. So I do my rounds and check all the rooms downstairs, make my way up to the second floor and then the attic and Im looking for the traps and there is nothing there but it TOTALLY does smell like something died in there (lol). So I cant find anything and go to leave down the other set of stairs from the ones I came up and I heard someone RUNNING FULL SPEED behind me and almost broke my fucking ankle running down to the foyer and the guard was outside of the house. I was like what the FUCK that is not cool I almost killed myself running down the stairs dont fuck with me like that. He started to laugh nervously and said "Did you try to leave down the other set of stairs?" and I was like "yeah dummy????" and he said "I knew it. Everyone who tries to go down those stairs gets chased and we dont know why". So that was the LAST fucking time I went into Helmcken house.
Also attached to the Museum is the Mungo Martin House - which is first peoples and a traditional longhouse. The Chief of the tribe had past way before I started work there and they had it closed due to respect to the community, so once they had reached the end of their mourning process for the tribe they had me go in to do a quick once over of the house so they could hold a ceremony. That was spooky because you could see shadows moving around the edges of the fire room, but it was a super beautiful place and really tranquil.
I have like, SO many more stories but this is all i can muster up right now

So with this link ^^ I obviously have lived here all my life minus moving and coming back, but I've experienced WEIRD ASS THINGS at all these places. Ross Bay Cemetery has a really neat history to it, thats where I like to go for picnics :)
Also edited for links if anyone is interested!
