The spooky story of how an unseen entity followed The Muttons into an elevator
Everyone has a horror story at work. This 1 time in the office, I split my pants right down the middle of the inseam and spent the balance of the day walking around looking like the baby's head was crowning. It was an alarming day for everyone in the neighbourhood.
Some people, however, have literal horror stories at work, starring things that go crash-land in the night. Or, in the example of Justin Ang – host of Muttons In The Morning along with longtime radio partner Vernon A, over at Grade 95 – get shuffling in the morning.

"I don't have that many stories because I've been generally lucky, in that sense. But our good friend Vernon can run into. He's got 'the centre'," said Justin, during our Firm Party For ii conversation – a CNA Lifestyle podcast recorded in the greatly professional company of my cats while snacking on char siew and roast pork.
I've never had a colleague who could point out the paranormal, I thought to myself, but I did once piece of work with someone who let me apply his 35-per-cent discount privileges at Mr Porter. That was pretty useful.

"There was i morning time, we were walking from the carpark to the studio. Nosotros were just walking, taking our time, as usual," said Justin, recounting an incident that happened about 13 or 14 years ago. "And he was similar, 'Walk faster, walk faster,'"
"I was like, 'Why?'
'Walk faster, walk faster.'"
The two bottle blond buddies picked up the pace and made it into the lift. Vernon stayed quiet the unabridged ride up. When the door finally, 'ding-ed' open, Vernon continued to rush Justin away to the radio studio.
"'Quick, walk faster, walk faster.'"
When they finally fabricated it inside, Justin had to ask what on earth was going on. Vernon then casually replied: "Ah… There was someone behind u.s.a.. But I didn't want to tell you until we got to the studio."
"I was like, 'What?! What exercise you mean there was someone behind the states?!'" said Justin. "Apparently, at that place was someone walking behind us the whole time until we got into the studio."
But why didn't the "someone" follow them into the studio? "I don't know," said Justin, laughing at the spooky memory. "Maybe this spirit respected the [on-air sign]."
Perchance the visitor didn't have the security ID card to beep in, I offered. Ghostly plans foiled yet once more by the skilful people at Mediacorp's security counter.
That was the closest he's come to experiencing the creepy, said Justin. Just Vernon with "the eye" hasn't been so fortunate.
"The scariest story that he e'er told me was before I even knew him. He was in the basement studios – they were the scariest. One day, he was just putting on his headphones and the music was playing. He was singing aloud to Level 42 or something. Then he heard [in a soft voice], 'How-do-you-do…'"
It was not Adele checking in from the outside.

According to Justin, Vernon's first thought was that someone was playing a prank on him using the talkback button from a connecting studio. So he got upwards and investigated, just like those doomed characters practise in horror movies when they say out loud: "Hello? Is anybody there? This isn't funny. My swain'southward in a football game squad and he'll be back whatsoever infinitesimal at present!" You know, just before the cat jumps out.
Of class, Vernon discovered no 1 was effectually. And went back to piece of work similar the Employee of the Month that he is.
"At that time, they had to arrange their own CDs – this was mode back," said Justin. "He had arranged his CDs [in a stack] for the adjacent hour. He turned around, turned on the mic, spoke. He turned dorsum – and all the CDs were back on the shelf."
Chills ran up my spine as Justin told the story. I might take spilled a piddling prosecco on my couch.
"And and then he was similar, 'I'grand done for the solar day', took off his headphones and walked out of the building," said Justin. "Similar, with an hour of his shift to go!"
While Justin has been spared the gifts of his friend Vernon, in that location is something else that made his blood run cold at the old Caldecott campus nosotros both spent many years in: Automated toilet lights that plow off on their own.

"When you lot practise your thing, you don't movement – and the lights would become off! And it's at night, and you're on the toilet level alone," he said, laughing. "You're just waving your artillery like an idiot while your poo is coming out, only to go the light to come on!"
If, dearest reader, you can relate to the terror that accompanies long toilet breaks in automated lighting, Justin's colleague has hacked the system.
"She really took her [employee security] laissez passer and she threw it at the light sensor! She was then panicked, she didn't know what to do," said Justin, laughing. "And it worked! The light came dorsum on!"
