The Story
Workers' accounts describe an unseen presence using the elevator, shifting chairs, opening drawers and slamming doors. Whispers, unexpected touches and the smell of cigar smoke accompany the disturbances. Some storytellers identify the presence with former mayor Thomas Doyle; the building was also investigated for television's Ghost Hunters.
