Ghost at work

I work in an insurance office. It is located in a house. The owner of the company lived in the house for three years and when he bought a new house he decided to keep the old one and move the office there. My office is in what would have been the master bedroom. I share the office with a friend of mine. When we first moved the office to this house we brought in scented candles for our desk. My friend Heather and I would light the candles every day and they would almost immediatley go out. Finally we stopped trying. One day one of the other girls came upstairs from her office and asked if she could borrow a candle because she smoked and her lighter had died. I told her she could take mine if she wanted but it wouldn't stay lit. She took it to her office and it stayed lit the whole day. One day Heather was sitting at her desk on the phone and the desk slammed to the side like someone came up and shoved it. She went flying down the stairs screaming. Another day she was sitting at her desk and the folding closet door behind slammed open. Again she went flying down the stairs. When her and the secretary went back up the walked into the closet and it was freezing. Heather and I sit at our desks and we always feel someone poke us in the back. One day we were all sitting in the break area talking and the conversation lulled for a second and we heard it. We all looked at each other to see if we imagined it and we could tell be the looks on our faces that we hadn't. We heard children laughing and playing in the other room plain as day. After that we started taking our breaks in the main office sitting around the secretary's desk. Every once in a while we will all run away from the desk at the same time because our legs were suddenly freezing. One day we were sitting at the desk talking. There is a t.v. on the desk. I was sitting right next to the t.v. We stopped talking for a minute and we heard a voice yelling help. I looked at the t.v. to see if it was on and it wasn't. I looked at the other girls and they had heard it too. The next day we were all sitting at the desk taking a break and the power went out. No big deal right? We just sat there figuring there was a line down or the wind had blown just right and it would come back on soon. As we were waiting we heard my t.v. in my office upstairs. I went up to see how it could be on with no power and the power in my office was fine. The rest of the house was out. Shortly one of the agents came in and we asked him to go down to the basement and check the circuit breaker. They were all on the he switched the main breaker off and back on. When he did the copier turned on and my office went out. He did it again and the bathroom came on. He did it five times and finally all of the power was on. The copier was on the same switch as the computer yet the computer didn't come on when the copier did. We all have seperate phone lines and seperate numbers. One girls phone calls will come to another phone and vice versa. I mentioned the strange happenings to my boss who lived in the house. He is pretty much a no nonsense kind of person so I expected him to tell me not to be ridiculous. He said to me "Why do you think I moved out?" His wife wouldn't stay there at night by herself. He wouldn't tell me what they had experienced but he did tell me that they had heard the children playing in the livingroom. We all leave the office at the same time and lock the door. When we come back everyday my t.v. and radio are unplugged. The other day our secretary found her t.v. unplugged when we got there. Perhaps the most eerie thing of all is a note Heather hung on the wall as a joke. She wrote "If I die it's Joan's fault for letting the ghost get me." She hung it on the wall. We left together that night and when we came to our office the next morning the first thing I saw was the note. Scribbled at the bottom in scratchy letters was "Coming to get you Ha Ha Ha"
