  1. I am the person who experienced these event back in the late 1960s. I had keys so I could clean, and my friend and I would often just hang out there, chilling. The most chilling part was learning my friend had a very similar experience not being able to open, shove, kick, etc. the door open, but he had the experience with a different door.
    The sound of walking upstairs was louder than normal, I could hear it go up the stairs and across the sanctuary, yet no one was there.
    Strange to find my experiences noted here.
