As everyone here most likely knows, I get into work super early and I'm the first one here every day, so I unlock the gate to the yard, unlock the doors, disarm the alarm system, turn on the lights and compressor, and so on. Well it was Tuesday morning this week and when I first got here I had to use the bathroom as soon as I got here, so all I had done was unlocked the front door, disarmed the alarm, and turned on the lights in the entry way. The bathroom isn't far away from the front door, and two things about the front door is, it slams pretty loudly when someone comes in (spring loaded) and when the alarm is disarmed, the keypad will 'chirp' audibly when the door opens, which when it's quiet in here, you can hear it a fair distance away from the front door and you can easily hear it from the bathroom, even with the door closed.
So, I'm in the bathroom and even though I didn't hear anyone come in the building, I heard footsteps and a light switch getting flipped on. Then a few minutes after that, I heard someone popping open a can of soda. I figured it was just my boss coming in early which 2 or 3 times a year he does if he can't sleep. I didn't think anything about it except to hurry my ass up and get out of the bathroom. So I finish up and head into the back of the shop where the washroom is to change into my work boots and turn on the air compressor. I didn't see him anywhere so I just assumed he went upstairs to where our offices are. So to make it look like I was extra busy I turned on the waterjet since there was a job still in process that had a long runtime. Firing the machine up takes a little while so I was down there getting the machine going for about 15 minutes give or take. After it's fired up and running, I go back towards the front of the shop and turn on the rest of the shop lights and then finally head upstairs. No boss anywhere to be found. So I go back downstairs and look out front and his vehicle isn't there. Weird I thought but maybe he parked out back. So I go back to the back of the shop and look out in the yard and there nothing there either. Now I'm thinking that maybe someone wandered into the building looking to steal stuff thinking the building was unlocked an empty (since I was in the bathroom they wouldn't have known anyone was here). So I look through the whole shop twice and nothing looks out of place and looking outside up and down the street, there's nobody to be seen.
Now at this point I'm borderline worried. I go upstairs again and check in then far back storage area in case someone was hiding up there. Again, nothing. So I go over to the computer that has the security camera system on it. I go back and look at all the cameras pointing at the street and near the two unlocked entrances. The only thing that tripped the cameras was me. Both when I was coming to work and again when I went outside to look if someone was here. Now I'm REALLY creeped out. There have always been weird sounds and happenings here and I'm not the only one that's heard them. Usually when someone is here alone, you can sometimes here things falling onto the floor, sounds like doors opening and closing, just really creepy stuff to hear when you know that you're alone in the building.
This was BY FAR the creepiest instance of this happening to me here and I cannot explain what I heard, especially since the cameras all prove that I was the only one here.

Anything you had before their test came out was just the flu.
