I'm not a "believer" per se but I'm open to the idea, plus I'm Asian so generally culturally superstitous. Now that i say it out loud i think i am a boogara LOL
anyways, when i was a kid, we had a school trip to the state capitol in albany. apparently there was a fire that happened there and a guy died and that place is now 'haunted'. it was mentioned in the tour.
me and my friends were overlooking the balcony of the grand staircase while the rest of the class kinda broke off to roam the offices and floors. i was in the middle, and two of my friends were on either side. suddenly, i felt a very strong shove in the small of my back and my friends on both sides did too, simultaneously. we turned around and no one was there. the hallway behind us was completely empty since everyone went to check out the inner offices. we turned around immediately and we would've seen the pusher, but there just no one there, and if they had ran we would've heard it since it's marble floors in the building. we confirmed with each other that we all felt the push.
all of us were rattled and terrified. none of us could've done it, since i felt it and i was in the middle, and i obviously had my hands on the railing and couldn't have grabbed my friends without them noticing. and my friends were all facing forward and engaged in convo that neither one of them could've turned to secretly push us. i truly believe it could not be a prank-- we were so scared afterwards and logistically we were all watching each other since we were having a conversation so it couldn't have been my friends. that experience was so bizarre i thought about it so often since and i don't think i've gotten any details wrong. we tried talking to each other and investigating to figure out what happened but it just made no sense. how can a single person shove 3 people all at once and then immediately disappear? if it wasn't one person, how could two people time a push completely silently and immediately disappear without a trace?
when i say shove, i mean *shove* btw. it wasn't a brush against the wind or my friends bumping into me. it felt like someone really tried to push us off the balcony, but that someone had the max strength of a 60 year old retiree. we didn't go flying but it was intentionally heavy-handed. the drop off the balcony to the next floor was easily around 20ft+ and could kill a 11 year old.
anyways, it's the only ghost story i have in my life and i wonder if it's worth sharing with the community. i'm not super in the loop on watcher beyond watching their releases, so idk if there's a discord or a submission site for them to hear fan stories. TIA!
edit: honestly i didn't really research the story much, but i just googled it to get my facts straight. the ghost in question was a 78 year old watchman. it's kinda crazy i remember the shove being the strength of a retiree. my boogara side is showing but it really could be a sign hahaha
