Employees at a city-centre electronics shop in Mendoza, Argentina, claim they are being tormented by spine-chilling incidents that 'make your skin crawl' – including barefoot 'child-sized' footprints and handprints mysteriously materialising on newly cleaned floors.
Unexplained Phenomena Intensify
Workers at the appliance retailer, situated in central Mendoza, reported to the Mendoza Post that the supernatural activity has intensified over recent weeks, leaving them unable to dismiss what is happening. The team revealed that the ghostly episodes started as a string of peculiar yet seemingly explainable occurrences – unusual sounds from the back area, the occasional mysterious mark appearing where it should not.
Then came distinct impressions resembling wet marks from small feet and diminutive hands, scattered across the shop floor each morning, despite the premises being thoroughly cleaned at closing time.
'We thought, let's document it – we took photos, we checked the cameras to see what was happening,' one member of staff revealed. A colleague added: 'It gives you a weird feeling, like there's something else here.'
Security Cameras Fail to Capture Intruders
Significantly, the shop's security system reportedly never activated, and the CCTV footage revealed 'no one in, no one passing', yet the mysterious marks continued appearing by opening hours. What truly unnerved the workforce was the form and dimensions of these marks.
'When we close, we clean, we wash the floor,' an employee told the Mendoza Post. 'When we arrive in the morning, there are footprints like barefoot children's feet in different parts of the store.' Alongside those were tiny palm prints, occasionally arranged in a manner that implied someone – or something – had been moving close to the floor.
'It's like they'd been crawling through the shop,' another member of staff observed. The sequence, they maintain, has developed into an odd pattern: the evening cleanup removes all traces, and the morning unveils fresh ones in different locations.
'It gives you an unsettling feeling,' said a warehouse employee. 'Initially, we assumed the sounds were drifting in from adjacent businesses. Now... we're uncertain.'
Poltergeist Activity Reported
At the rear, where cartons of blenders and televisions are piled tall, the team reports thuds, scuffles, and the occasional crash, even when only one person is working in isolation. 'There are noises, activity,' one mentioned. 'We believed it might be from neighbouring stores, but now we're doubtful.'
As intrigue transformed into unease, the staff delved into the location's past – and claimed they discovered a haunting reflection of bygone days. Prior to becoming an appliance retailer, the junction of Calle España and General Paz was home to humble single-storey dwellings and thriving tenements, according to the employees' investigation.
Nearby, the railway stretched, and the district bustled with immigrant households pursuing fresh opportunities. Previously, the spot would have witnessed youngsters darting about from sunrise to sunset. This has left the store's personnel questioning whether yesterday's footprints are somehow leaving their mark on the present day.
