Don't be afraid. Lock the doors. Turn out the lights. Inclimb into bed. It's time for

a hillbilly. Dead time. Stories. History is said to repeat itself, but in some places,

history never dies. This seems to be especially true in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The city has

enough haunted locations in lore to keep even the most avid paranormal enthusiasts occupied

for several hours a month. From the Ada Witch to San Fritz Folly to the Grand Rapids

Library, there is no end to the spooky stories. Today we will talk about maybe the most haunted

location in Grand Rapids. The Michigan Bell Telephone Building. Many people who have worked

visited or studied in the Grand Rapids Michigan Bell Building have long acknowledged that

things are not quite right on the second floor. Some have reported the distinct feeling

of being watched as they walk through empty hallways. Of a presence, malevolent and unseen,

that causes the temperature and rooms to plummet, open and close doors, play with light switches

and even move ceiling tiles. One employee was walking to the elevator at the end of his

day when he noticed a young woman he had never seen before standing on the stairs. He

stopped and was just about to ask her who she was when she vanished into thin air.

Rumor has it that workers in the Michigan Bell Building have grown so uncomfortable on

the second story that the telephone company has vacated the entire floor. While no one

ever hits the number 2 button on the elevator anymore, there has been more than one instance

when the elevator stops there anyway. The doorway opens and for several tense moments,

person on the elevator stares into the darkened hallway before the door closes again. Some

witnesses claim to have caught a glimpse of a terrorist-tricken woman running from an

unseen assailant just before the door slides shut. Some have frantically opened the door

to assist a woman, only to find the hallway deserted and death like quiet.
