The new intern locked themselves in the supply closet and blamed ghosts

I’m 31F and work in a pretty normal corporate office. Yesterday, our new summer intern, 19M, decided to organize the supply closet. Sounds innocent enough… except an hour later, we hear muffled banging and faint shouting.

Turns out he had locked himself inside. Our supply closet has one of those push-button locks on the inside of the knob, you literally have to push it to lock, and turn it to open.

We finally get him out, and instead of laughing it off or admitting he messed up, he goes on this whole dramatic rant about feeling a presence and how something shut the door on him and that the knob wouldn’t turn because the ghost wanted him to stay.

He was dead serious. He even started asking if anyone had died in the office before and if we had ever felt cold air on our necks.

It was awkward enough, but then he sent an email to the entire team warning us to be careful in the closet and offering to sage the space on his lunch break.

Our manager told him to drop it, but now half the office is whispering about it, and the other half is mad they can’t get to supplies without him making ghost noises in the hall.

I genuinely don’t care what he believes in, but blaming imaginary ghosts instead of just saying he locked himself in is the most ridiculous and unprofessional thing I’ve seen in a while.
