can hear women sobbing from the building and unearthly voices coming up out of the filled up shaft. That is still visible at its top. I have heard both many times through the years walking past that building and have seen what looks like a wavy mist as if some spirits are moving from the old shaft to the building. Some folks said they have seen someone peer out of the building at them and can feel a presence like they are being touched or stared at.
