The County Offices Building, Rock Springs

Wyoming · USA · Haunted site

A deputy working alone at night turned around to find an old man in a blue bathrobe and blue slippers standing in front of him.

The county offices at Rock Springs, Wyoming produce most of their reports at night, when a single deputy is on duty in an otherwise empty building: making copies, writing up reports, or sitting with a cup of coffee.

The usual account is movement at the edge of vision, figures glimpsed sideways in a building the deputy knows to be empty. That is the sort of thing anyone dismisses, and he did.

He went back to his reports. Then he turned round.

Standing in front of him was an old man in a blue bathrobe and blue slippers.

The clothing is what makes this account. A figure in period dress is what people expect and what people describe. A man in a dressing gown and slippers is somebody who was in the middle of an ordinary evening, and the deputy's description of it is specific down to the colour.

He looked up at the deputy. The rest of the account belongs to whoever was on shift that night.
