Ok here is my ghost story
A long time ago on a planet far far away, well on the edge of Hounslow Heath near Heathrow actually, I went looking for a job in the fashion business as the company I worked for in Cornwall closed down.
I got the job and started work, I hadn’t been there long when I lost my voice. It wouldn’t come back no matter what I tried I was little worried as my dad had just recovered from throat cancer a year before.
All went along nicely.
We made dresses for Harrods and Fenwick’s I worked with the designers and the buyers from the stores and sorted out their orders, generally involved in running the place working for the boss man.
One day I went into the stock room, to sort out some dresses to show the buyers. I was sliding dresses along the wracks when someone came and stood behind me and started sorting too, she put a hand on my shoulder and pulled dresses toward me for me to see. I said good choice and looked to see who my helper was. The room was empty except for me.
I went to the door and croakily asked the pressers outside who had been in the stock room. They said only I had gone in.
I thought some one was messing with me and just got on with it.
Later I was having coffee and trying to discuss the order with the boss.
He got very agitated and wanted me to see a doctor. I said I was fine ,but did he know if one of the managers was fooling with me, and told him about the stock room.
To my surprise his eyes filled with tears, One of the other managers took me out of the office and explained, that Christine his Partner had always chosen the stock, it was her job I was doing. She had died the previous month of throat cancer.
Next time I went to the stock room I said “Hi Christine what shall we pick today” and I always new the right ones to choose. My voice came back, and I went from strength to strength in my new job with my guiding hand never far away.
I had got the job even though not qualified in management. Never understood how I got it, my side had always been design.

I was chatting with some guys from the unit opposite ours one day and told them about it, they said she pops into theirs all the time choosing runway chairs and exhibition furniture just like when she was alive, they said they were so used to things being moved by her they took no notice.

I worked there until it was bought out by another company and closed down
