Woo yay for this QOTW!
In case you didn't guess from the subject heading, I'm pretty into the supernatural, and believe in ghosts and stuff. Therefore, I have two stories, creepy to me, probably not so much to anyone else. Oh well, here goes:

1) Last year sometime, I went with two friends to the cinema, deciding we'd see Ghost Rider. We were there about an hour early, so when we finally went up to the screen, we were still completely alone. It was the screen at the end of the empty corridor on the top floor that we had to go in, and it was typically creepy, right down to a spooky hum in the background, there wasn't even a person to take our tickets. Being the brave young souls we were (notice the "were"), we walked into the screen. As we walk in, all three of us see at least one black figure somewhere in the screen. We all ran out the screen screaming, and waited until someone else went into the screen. The creepy part is, when we went back in, there was only us and the people we followed in, no black figures...

2) Don't worry this isn't as long as the last one. Sometimes when I'm sitting at the computer, a silver washing bowl will fall off the tumble dryer behind me. I've often blamed this on the fact that the tumble dryer was on at the time, and the vibrations pushed it off. But it has fallen off when the tumble dryer was off, and I think I even saw someone walk behind me and push it off once, but no one I live with was close enough to have been able to move it and get that far away in time. So, I don't know what to think, hence it being rather unexplained...

Length? Yeah, I don't even know the joke, so I'm just apologizing :)

Black figure in the screen
In cinemas, the screen isn't placed flat against the wall, there's a large opening behind the screen where the left, centre and right hand speakers sit. It's quite possible a member of staff went behind the screen to investigate the spooky hum.

Hmm...
That makes sense actually, I just like convincing myself that something scary happened :P.

Well let's be honest
your version is more entertaining!

if it was manchester printworks...
Then it was probably me....

I worked as a projectionist and was always botching up the surround sound which lead to low humming noises.

We had black uniforms.
