Okay, this is awesome. It seems I work in a portal to hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. Really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had some fumes of some kind of fumes on our floor and one of the building engineers came up to tell us they had no idea what the hell it was or how it got there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, it helps that this guy was off the boat from Ireland, because his accent just made it better. The conversation somehow got around to ghosts and haunting. He informed us that the Hancock was one of the most haunted buildings in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engineers often work nights and in the empty spaces. He told us things other engineers and cleaning crews had seen and heard. Figures floating amongst cubicles, voices, toilets flushing for no apparent reason, a woman on a treadmill in the gym who completely vanished while the treadmill kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I started looking at stuff. Apparently the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey (no, I am completely serious), claimed to have been born on the 800 block of North Michigan in the spot where the Hancock was later built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was obsessed with architecture and the occult. He was convinced that the trapezoidal shape of the building made it an ideal doorway for evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if that sounds a bit like the plot for a movie, that’s because it is. That idea made its way to Harold Ramis and became “Ghostbusters”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
