As y'all know, it's now the time when businesses are updating computers to Win 11 before support for 10 ends. My place of work was no different, and last Thursday we were instructed to leave our computers logged in overnight so tech could run updates.
I came in Tuesday and noticed that the moving Weeping Angel background was back on my desktop. I'd had it on two years ago, because the image periodically changes and the angel goes from hiding her face in her hands to moving closer, to snarling at the screen. I figured the update had reverted some things, and frankly I was getting a little bored of my Xenomorph and Predator playing pool background, so I left it up.
The person who had my office before me was into Feng Shui, so there are some mirrors they left behind that I've never removed. Frankly, I still don't know how I want to decorate since it's a church and I'm pretty sure my collection of Xenomorph figures will be vetoed by at least one pastor. So it's kinda between states.
Well, last Thursday night, the building caretaker was walking through after dark. The lights were out, it was quiet. He happened to look into my office, where the newly updated computer had resurrected the Weeping Angel.
Except he didn't look at my computer screen. He looked in the mirror and saw the Angel in the mirror move. According to him, he said 'oh hell no' and noped TF out.
This week, he came up to me and told me about seeing the moving Angel in my office. He said he was half convinced the church was haunted or something.
So I inadvertently traumatized a caretaker.
I honestly thought my background wouldn't change, but I guess some quirk of the update process caused it to revert. I now feel really bad that I never realized I turned my office into a horror movie set with a background and some old mirrors.
TLDR: Set up a Weeping Angel house of horrors in my office by accident.
