Sounds interesting - pray tell!

Take it with the contents of a salt mine, but the employees at a Blockbuster blamed the fae when, with increasing frequency over the course of several months, objects -- keys, dvd's, backpacks, paperwork, etc -- would vanish, usually when the store had no customers in it, and only be found hours later up in the ceiling, under shelves, or behind locked doors that no one but the manager had the keys to. A girl I know who worked there swore that she turned her back for an instant, then turned back around to discover a stack of dvd's gone. They were found later in the bottom drawer of a locked file cabinet behind the locked office door -- and she didn't have a key to either the drawer or the door. There was some suspicion at first that it might be a poltergeist, but one worker who happened to believe in faeries did something or other to appease them and the activity stopped.

Personally, I think it's a silly story, but an interesting one.

In fact, I once had an obnoxious customer attempt to put a curse on me because the bookstore I worked in at the time did not have a certain book in stock. I got him to go away by cursing him in turn with an old Greek curse that, as I understand it, takes any curse put on you and throws it back at the person who cast it on you.

Oh, do you mind telling me which one? I've been interested in a lot of the ancient greek superstitions and magiks for a while now (My Greek Grandmother taught me some basics on warding off evil eyes but was unable to pass on much of her knowledge before the alzeimers(sp?) got to her)

I'd understand why you wouldn't post it publically but if you could PM me it'd be appreciated

Poltergeist or Faerie - or made-up - it makes a great story
Thanks!

....maybe the manager knew of this belief, and...hmmm, nah, it was magic....

The fae can be dangerous things...
