"About 2015 I worked at the airport here in Amarillo and our break room was on the old side, it used to be part of the old air base.

One day I was the last one there working late and had nothing to do so I was sitting there running out the last 20 minutes of my time. It was silent.

All of the sudden I heard footsteps coming down the hall, so I got up to see who was there and nobody.

At that exact moment, I heard the clear sound of a glass bottle being opened by a metal bottle opener!

I turned around clocked out and left!

What does the land remember here?
