The Faculty There is a faculty at a Spanish university, that is especially scary at night. During the daytime all is perfectly normal, but at night it all changes. Almost all the cleaners have had inexplicable experiences. One of them was cleaning a particular office with the door open. All of a sudden, the door was closed as if somebody had slammed it. She approached the door, opened it again and kept working. No sooner had she begun working, than the door was slammed again. She ran towards the door, opened it but there wasn't anybody there. Another cleaner claimed that somebody had called out her name, and when she went to the place where the voice had come from, she saw nobody. One night, at approximately 2 am, a guard was on the ground floor when he heard a terrible noise. It was as if somebody had dropped a heavy object. Even though he was scared, he managed to get to the room where the sound had been made. He entered the room but there was nobody there, and the room was perfectly neat. Many workers are used to all this phenomena, but there are others, especially guards, who have asked their bosses not to be sent to work there.

Almost perfect. Congratulations! "Phenomena" is plural so you would say "these" rather than "this".

The Faculty

There is a faculty, at a Spanish university, that <em>(I just suggest the first, extra, comma to make it clearer that 'that' refers to 'faculty' and not to 'university')</em> is especially scary at night. During the daytime all is perfectly normal, but at night it all changes. Almost all the cleaners have had inexplicable experiences. One of them was cleaning a particular office with the door open. All of a sudden, the door was closed <em>(prefer active voice to passive voice)</em> as if somebody had slammed it. She approached the door, opened it again and kept resumed working. No sooner had she begun working, than the door was slammed shut again. She ran towards the door, opened it but there wasn't anybody was nobody <em>(my preference is to express in positive form - without 'not', using the antonym where possible)</em> there. Another cleaner claimed that somebody/someone had called out her name, and when she went to the place where whence the voice had come from, she saw nobody. One night, at approximately 2 am, a guard was on the ground floor when he heard a terrible terrific/terrifying/resounding noise. It was as if somebody had dropped a heavy object. Even though he was scared, he managed to get to the room where from which <em>(another way if you don't like 'whence')</em> the sound had come been made. He entered the room but there was nobody there, and the room was perfectly in order/undisturbed/neat and tidy. Many workers are used to all these phenomena/this phenomenon, but there are others, especially guards, who have asked their bosses not to be sent send them <em>(active voice again)</em> to work there.

 

<em>Most of the highlights are only suggestions, not corrections - 'this/these' is the only real mistake</em>
