Mormonism And The Paranormal: Are LDS Folk Afraid Of Ghosts?

These days, Marlene Murray dabbles in paranormal investigation. But in 1999, she was a regular hard-working supervisor for Amerigo, Inc. One Saturday, she was working on payroll alone after midnight when she heard the adding machine in the secretary’s office start to run and spit out paper. She thought little of it — they were always jimmy-rigging things to get them working and figured it had just gone haywire. She flipped its switch on then off, and it stopped. Exactly five minutes later, it started again, and again she flipped the switch on, then off. When it happened a third time, she was annoyed. She flipped the machine over to take out its batteries, but there were none in the machine. She followed the cord from the machine to the floor and — you’ve guessed it — it wasn’t plugged in. Marlene says she paused for just a beat and then, without thinking, called out into the empty room, “Stop that right now. I won’t put up with it.”

She finished payroll without further incident but did a bit of soul-searching and questioning her sanity for the remainder of the weekend. The next Monday, she told the secretary, Grandma Claudia, about the experience. Without the least bit of hesitation, Grandma Claudia told her it was just the little boy who haunted that floor and how he was a bit of a prankster. There was no fear, no guile, just a matter-of-fact acknowledgment. She went on to tell Marlene that there was a woman on the upper floor who was particular about things being moved, and a “grumpy old man” in the basement. She should run from him, she was told.
