Workers at a marijuana dispensary in Oregon suspect that they may be sharing their space with a spirit after security cameras captured some eerie activity at the pot shop. The weirdness reportedly first began this summer when 'Five Zero Trees' employee Andy Gomez noticed that a tip jar seemingly slid across a perfectly flat counter on its own while he was 'budtending' a few feet away. "As it happened," he recalled, "I kind of felt like someone was standing next to me."
Another piece of security footage shows objects in a pen holder being rattled by an unseen force. Lest one suspect that the incidents captured on video are simply shenanigans on the part of the pot shop in order to generate some publicity around Halloween, that seems fairly unlikely as the general manager of the site says that, since they are a cannabis shop, such trickery with the security footage would actually be illegal. As such, GM Samantha Davidson stressed, "those are state-certified videos."
If the pot shop truly is haunted, Davidson offered a theory as to who the spirit may be. She noted that, in the early 1900's, the building which houses the dispensary served as a pharmacy. As such, she mused that "I feel like it's the pharmacist, because he likes to organize things" and expressed hope that, if that is the case, that the ghost is "happy we're here."
