This was spring semester, and it was warm.īostian: It smelled like chemicals, but the bodies were wrapped pretty tight. They were wrapped in plastic and they were there for about a month. It was not something you wanted to do in the dark.Īt first, there was a pile of bodies on the floor. I would try to wait until the sun came up to clean that room. Q: So did you just clean the classrooms and bathrooms at the school?īostian: No, the worst part was cleaning the dissection lab. I listened to “War and Peace” in about a month. I usually listened to books on tape to pass the time. Q: So what else about that place was creepy?īostian: Well, I would be cleaning the hallway and the elevator would suddenly come open, even though there was no one inside.
Q: Did you tell me once that you thought it was haunted?īostian: Well, there was a time when it was windy outside, and I swore it sounded like children screaming in the distance.īostian: No, A lot of weird things happen to you at two a.m.
The original building was built in 1905, and they’ve made a bunch of additions to it since then. It’s this old brick building in southwest Portland.
Q: So what did you do after the metalworking shop?īostian: I worked at this school for naturopathic medicine. You know, life is like vacuuming - you’re going along and everything is fine, when suddenly it shuts off and you realize you’ve run out of cord. The first vacuum I worked with, I called it Maud.
The sinks were covered in grease and the vacuum had a big magnet on the front to pick the metal shavings off the floor. When I applied, they told me “If you can speak English, lift five pounds, and pass a drug test, you’re hired.”īostian: They sent me to a metalworking shop. Q: What made you decide to get a job as a janitor?Īaron Bostian: I had left my job as a shipping clerk and was sick of getting up early in the morning, so I opened the newspaper to “J” and started looking.
