Ooh, haunting stories.
Mine probably has, by Kittish's definitions, a "Haunt". You only notice after closing time, when everything but the gutter lights we never turn off has been shut off, and the gate has been shut and locked. The atmosphere is a little creepier with those off, maybe it's just that it's an arcade and you're used to it being loud, bright, and crowded, and now it's quiet, dark, and you're alone, but I've seen things, and felt things a little outside the normal.
For example, a couple of occassions I was stranded there until almost midnight due to a co-worker forgetting to leave me the closing key ((this was before I became ASM)), and I'd already shut everything down for the night, and was merrily playing on my DS, when I noticed out of the corner of my eye what looked like someone moving. I went to check it out, and I was the only living soul in the place. I also got that weird feeling down the back of your spine you get when something is a little off in the atmosphere. But nothing more specific.
And I'm not the only one who's felt it. I've had my coworkers tell me they've noticed it too.
