This is the building where I work. It was built between 1901 and 1908, starting as the city's Technical School and Public Library and eventually becoming the main building for the Faculy of Humanities and Social Sciences. And we have two ghosts! Apparently, when the building was a Public Library in the 30s, one male librarian was having an "illicit" affair with a female librarian. I guess by "illicit" they mean adultery but who knows...anyways, the male librarian felt very guilty about it until he couldn't stand it anymore and committed suicide. The female librarian, upon finding her lover's corpse, committed suicide too. What a shame they didn't tell me how. But I imagine him hanging himself from a ceiling beam and she jumping from the third floor landing to the basement. Through the stairs, just where there is the lift nowadays. That would explain why the lift is always out of order. Now they say her shadow can be seen at the canteen in the basement and his footsteps can be heard late at night on the third floor. That's all right, then if they stay where they are. I am based on the 4th floor and my internet radio is always playing quite loud.


Este es el edificio donde trabajo. Se construyo entre el 1901 y el 1908, siendo en un principio la Escuela Tecnica de la ciudad y Biblioteca Publica. Anios despues, se convirtio en el edificio principal de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales. Y tenemos dos fantasmas! Segun me han dicho esta maniana, cuando el edificio era una biblioteca en los anios 30, un bibliotecario tuvo un affair "ilicito" con una bibliotecaria. Supongo que con 'ilicito' quieren decir 'adulterio', aunque nunca se sabe... el problema es que el bibliotecario se sentia terriblemente culpable. Tanto, que un dia no pudo soportar mas su 'gran pecado' y se suicido. Al encontrar el cadaver de su amante, la bibliotecaria, desesperada, tambien se suicido. Lastima que no digan como. Yo me lo imagino a el colgado de una viga en el tercer piso y a ella saltando por el hueco de la escalera desde el tercer piso hasta el sotano. En ese hueco justo donde ahora tenemos el ascensor. Eso explicaria que el ascensor se nos estropee cada semana. Dicen que la sombra de la bibliotecaria se ve a veces en la cantina del sotano. Y que los pasos del bibliotecario resuenan en el tercer piso cada noche. Y a mi me parece muy bien mientras se queden donde estan. Yo estoy en el cuarto piso y siempre tengo la radio de internet a maximo volumen.
