Ghosts were seen in the library. Women wearing wedding dresses were seen appearing and disappearing in the daylight in the meeting room. File cabinets opened and closed by themselves. One of the elevator operators claimed he saw some people disappear as soon as they entered the elevator. Odd sounds were heard in the long corridors. Doors locked by themselves with no explanation. One of the councilmen was locked in his office and could not open the door. From his room, he said he could hear something like voices that seemed to talk in an incomprehensible language.
Journalist tookm interest in the story and reported on it. A babalorixa, a candomble priest said the hauntings were a result of the souls of slaves that had been tortured in the area centuries before.
