Granada City Hall, located in the Plaza del Carmen, is a place of great historical and political importance, but it is also home to a mystery that has baffled many of its employees over the years. Although its facade and spaces do not convey the typical feeling of unease associated with the paranormal, the unexplainable events that occurred within its walls have cemented a series of comments in which it is described as a point where the supernatural manifests itself in unexpected ways.
One of the most disturbing episodes was recounted by a former advisor, who personally experienced a disturbing event that he has not forgotten. According to him, one afternoon, as night fell and the town hall rooms began to empty, he was preparing to leave his office. The silence of the day which was ending was abruptly broken when he heard a deafening noiseright in the hallway I had to go through. At first he thought it was a worker in difficulty, but he soon realized that the sound was much more frightening: he described it as a heartbreaking human lamenta desperate cry that echoed through the empty building. “It was like someone was asking for help with all their might,” said the councilman, whose skin gave him goosebumps as he remembered that moment.
Fearing the worst and feeling a strange cold who seemed to follow him, the advisor moved cautiously towards the main door. When he arrived, visibly upset, he recounted what had happened to two local police officers who were on duty. The response he received was disconcerting: the officers smiled and said calmly: “Don’t worry, it’s the ghost, but he doesn’t do anything.” Not only did this answer not reassure him, but it increased his concern, because it indicated that others had already had similar experiences in the same place.
The truth is that the testimonies about this alleged ghost are not isolated cases. Over the years, several municipal employees have reported encountering the unexplainable. One official, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that on several occasions he had seen what he described as a blurry silhouette, which crosses the corridors in fractions of a second. “It’s like you see something out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn around it’s no longer the case. “It moves quickly, like it’s gliding through the air.” he commented, convinced that what he saw was not a simple optical illusion. The figure, according to several accounts, seems to appear out of nowhere, diffuse, as if it were part of a blurry photo.
Vigilant presences
Another testimony, also that of a worker who prefers to keep his identity secret, reports that on several occasions, while carrying out maintenance work in the building, he felt a presence watching him. “I can’t describe it well,” he confessed, “but I felt like someone was behind me, looking at me. I turned around, but there was no one. Sometimes , he even thought he heard footsteps in the distance, but the corridor was empty. This feeling of not being alone is terrifying. » Despite insistence, it has never been possible to obtain a convincing explanation for these phenomena.
Some of the oldest employees of the Town Hall accepted these facts with resignation, considering their presence as part of daily life at the town hall. “It’s something that’s there, it doesn’t bother you,” says a worker who has been in the building for more than two decades. But for newcomers, encounters can be unsettling. “I remember my first year working here,” one worker said. “One day I went to bed late and when I was almost alone, I started hearing whispers. At first I thought it was the wind, but none of the windows were open. The noise came from the corridors. It was so real that I stood still, waiting for someone to appear, but nothing happened. “I ran away without looking back.”
Despite the strange nature of these phenomena, the Granada town hall continues to function normally, its daily activity must not be modified. No images have been recorded, no clear evidence of what is happening within its walls and it has not been possible to carry out a thorough investigation of the site, which has contributed to doubts about the veracity of the stories. However, those who experienced these episodes assure that there is no doubt: something or someone continues to live in the rooms of the Town Hall, a presence which, although silent most of the time, leaves its mark at unexpected moments.
For now, this “ghost” remains a mysterious figure, presenting itself only to those lucky enough – or unlucky enough – to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, leaving behind a mixture of awe and fear in all. those who witnessed it. inexplicable.
