Potter's field

Facts :
  • Potter's Field is a place for the burial of unknown or indigent people.
  • Halloween is in 2 days.
With these facts in mind, how would you feel knowing that your office building sits right on a potter's field?

From wikipedia :
Toronto, Ontario had a Potter's Field at the corner of Yonge and Bloor Streets. The burial grounds were closed with some of the bodies moved to other cemeteries. Unknown number of bodies remained on the site when it was built over.

Today the grounds are part of the posh Yorkville district, and the site of an office tower. -- My office!

Spooky!!

  3. nagpaparamdam or incidents? there are a few - mostly in the women's washroom -- cubicles flushing with nobody around, sounds. we dismiss them as purely imagination or else nobody wants to go the washroom alone now.

    BTW, not a lot of my officemates know about this -- I only knew this to be true after researching.
