SUMMARY: Old Plantation house, unsure of exact background or history. On MNCPPC property. Currently the head office of the company I work for. While working late there I heard noises come from the basement. I thought it was mice or something but I went down to investigate. I saw an amorphous, translucent, dark blob slowly moving across the floor away from me. I have also heard "breathing" sounds coming from a sealed chimney. Co-workers have had similar experiences and have heard noises and steps coming from the attic where old files and boxes are stored. No one wants to be the last to leave or to work late. We are moving into a new office, so this house will be vacant. It is on MNCPPC property in the 8000 block of Snouffer School Road. You may be considered a trespasser if you go onto the site so check in with the MNCPPC before going onto the site. Very bucolic location just inside Gaithersburg sprawl. Others claim to have seen shapes and odd lights on the grounds around the old plantation though I have not experienced this.
