The historic townhall of Newham has become the centre of attention as reports of paranormal activity and eerie encounters have surfaced, leaving residents both intrigued and unsettled. The haunted townhall has sparked a flurry of speculation about the supernatural and captivated the imagination of locals. Several eyewitnesses have come forward, describing chilling experiences and unexplained phenomena that have unfolded within the townhall's aged walls. Reports range from disembodied whispers and inexplicable cold drafts to the sighting of apparitions and the mysterious movement of objects. One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, recounted their spine-tingling encounter. "I was walking past the townhall late at night when I saw a flickering light from one of the upper windows," they said. "Curiosity got the best of me, so I went closer to investigate. Suddenly, I heard the distinct sound of footsteps echoing through the empty hallway, but when I looked, there was no one there." Others have reported strange occurrences during official townhall meetings, with documents mysteriously disappearing or reappearing in different locations. Some attendees have claimed to feel an eerie presence or experienced an inexplicable feeling of being watched. I have delved into the history of the townhall in an attempt to shed light on the origins of these supernatural happenings. The town hall was built over a century ago and has witnessed significant historical events. There have been rumours of a tragic incident that occurred within these walls, but concrete evidence is scarce.
I ventured to ask Local officer Foster, about these claims but he refused to see me :(
For now, locals eagerly await further developments and brace themselves for potential encounters with the unexplained within the hallowed halls of the townhall, where history and the supernatural seem to intertwine.
