Weehawken firefighter has a 32 floor Florida condo tower all to himself

Johnny finds all this stuff so you don't have to.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a ginormous condo tower of hundreds of units all to yourself? Weehawken firefighter Victor Vangelakos can tell you what it's like. Vangelakos purchased a condo unit in the 32 story Oasis Condominiums in Fort Myers Florida. He planned on using it for vacations until he retired in a few years and then was going to live full time there. Just one issue, no other sales in his high rise went through and a few pending sales were even transferred to a second 32 story Oasis unit right next door. Vangelakos and his family are all alone as the bank for whatever reason refuses to transfer his purchase to the second high rise.

What are some of the eerie happenings you deal with when you have an entire building to yourself?

* During the day the silence is deafening.
* At night, the family sometimes hears people on the grounds or even inside the building itself
* Late one night somebody banged on their door

There are a few more strange things to get used to in such solitude but you'll have to read the rest of the Vangelakos' story here.
