One 'you heard it here first story' could be about a local artist who was discovered painting amazing murals in an abandoned building. Nobody knew about this artist before, but someone who explored the building shared the story. Another could be a small family - run bakery that has a secret recipe for the most delicious cinnamon rolls. A customer found out and shared the 'you heard it here first' story.
Sure. There was a rumor that a very famous actor was going to star in a low - budget indie movie just for the love of the script. It was first heard from someone on the movie set crew. Another story was about a singer who was secretly recording a new album in a small studio in a remote location. A local who recognized the singer told the story.
I heard about a woman in a bookstore. She was sitting on the floor browsing through books. A customer came over and asked if she could recommend a book. She said, 'I don't work here, but I can tell you that I really liked this one.' And she showed the customer the book she was reading. They ended up having a long conversation about books.
One really scary story is about a person who was in a decrepit mansion that was open for tours. People assumed they were a guide. They were asked to lead the way into the attic. The attic was known for its paranormal activity. When they said they didn't work there, the group got pushy. As they entered the attic, cold spots hit them and they heard blood - curdling screams. The person was so scared that they pushed through the group and ran out of the mansion as fast as they could.
One really scary 'I don't work here' horror story is when a woman was in a big, old hotel. She was constantly mistaken for a maid. When she finally made it to the elevator to leave, it stopped at a floor she didn't select. The doors opened to a long, dark hallway. She heard screams coming from the rooms, but when she tried to tell the front desk (who also thought she worked there), they just brushed her off. It was a nightmare.
There was this story of two people who were childhood friends. They grew up together, played together every day. But it wasn't until they were in high school that they realized their feelings for each other were more than just friendship. They had their first date at the local fair, and it was a magical experience for them. They are still together today, supporting each other through life's ups and downs.
Yes, I've heard some rumors. But most of them are just unsubstantiated tales. People like to create spooky stories around big hotels, and the First World Hotel might be one of those targets. Maybe it's because of its large size and the many guests it has had over the years, which gives fertile ground for such ghostly tales to spread.
A friend told me about his first kiss. He was at a friend's party. He and the girl he liked were in a closet during a game of 'Seven Minutes in Heaven'. They were so nervous that when they finally kissed, he accidentally bit her lip a little. She yelped and then they both started laughing hysterically. It was really embarrassing for him at the time but makes for a great story now. There was also a story about two people on a Ferris wheel. They were about to kiss when the Ferris wheel stopped suddenly. They were left hanging there, mid - kiss, for what felt like forever until it started moving again.
A friend of mine went on a first date ice skating. He thought he was a great skater but as soon as he got on the ice, he slipped and fell flat on his face right in front of his date. His date was really nice about it though and they ended up having a great time laughing about it.
I once heard a story about a person's first time skydiving. They were terrified at first but when they jumped out of the plane, they felt an indescribable sense of freedom. The view from above was breathtaking, and it changed their perspective on taking risks.
