I learned something interesting today that I thought I would share with my horror buddies: I currently work in a haunted building. I just started an internship with Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority in down town Tuscaloosa. We are in the old city hall in downtown Tuscaloosa, and even though I knew that the building was 70+ years old from day 1 working there, I had not really dwelt on it... until today.
Climbing on the elevator with my boss for the first time (we usually use the stairs, but we were moving some heavy stuff), I noticed a "B" button. I asked my boss if the building had a basement, and she replies, nonchalantly, "Oh yeah. It's pretty creepy though. There are jail cells from when this building was the city hall."
WOAH. Hold up? Creepy jail cells in an old creaky creepy building that is connected to the old creaky creepy Bama Theater? Someone call Ghost Adventures (IT'S A GHOST, BRO!) Apparently the basement is now filled with the theater's storage (creepy props, costumes, etc) and the jail cells are just chilling down there. So I had to ask my boss if there were ghost stories, and she said that people get creeped out and there are randomly slamming doors all over the building (I will now be a nervous wreck every time I go to work). I bet there are all sorts of creepy stories, as the building has been used for all sorts of things. I will find out more, and if I can get into the basement (my boss said I could venture the next time someone has to go down there) I will get a picture and share it.
oh, and on a side note, tomorrow we are going through stuff in what was formerly known as the "drug closet." Oh, yes, the REINFORCED steel doored closet where the police used to store drugs from drug busts. And probably other evidence. Like murder weapons....

I would love a ghost adventures Tuscaloosa and I would so volunteer to go with them on their lockdown although I may not be swoll enough to join the team.
