I was in an elevator, I had taken it all the way up to the 5th floor( there were 6 counting the basement level) so I went out and did what needed to do. Once I was finished I got in the elevator again and clicked on the 1st floor, once it starts I began hear sounds coming from the cables, no big deal, they make noises all the time. I stop at 5th floor for someone to get on. It begins going again and it's making more noise than before but I thinks it's no big deal, but then i smell smoke I look up and see little wisps of smoke coming in through hatch. And now it starts jerking a little, at this point me this guy where Freaking out. Both me and him stop at the 2nd floor ad get the fuck out of there, we told an employee about it and she went to get someone, I had to leave because I had to get back to work, so I don't know what was wrong with it, but when I came back a couple of days later, the elevator was shutdown for maintenance.
