They wrote to the mayor of the municipality on May 23, reporting supernatural phenomena they claim to witness. A “ghost” is said to be responsible for strange noises, lights and shadows, but also illnesses.
On May 23, a letter arrived in the mailbox of the housing department of the town hall of Fontenay-aux-Roses in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. It mentions a request for “urgent relocation” of ten residents of a social housing block in the Blagis district. Nothing unusual and even less paranormal at the time. Until the reading of the reasoning.
The signatories, Le Parisien reveals, claim in this letter that their building is “haunted”. From the 1st to the 5th floor of a single stairwell, they claim to feel “a presence”, to see shadows and lights, to hear strange noises…
“All tenants affected by this incident can substantiate what they have seen, namely ghosts appearing in our flats and in the building,” the authors of the letter to City Hall argue. As a result, almost all families with their children are sick and affected by this”.
Souad, a resident whose son is in psychiatric treatment after a suicide attempt, defends this version: “I can be crazy, you can be crazy, but the whole building cannot be crazy”.
Another resident agrees with the existence of beings that some call ghosts and others call jinns, supernatural beings according to Islam. “In terms of my faith, I know things can happen. I am a Muslim. We believe in witchcraft,” he says.
Some even talk to an imam about it. Souad says the imam advised her to sprinkle salt on the threshold of her home to ward off paranormal phenomena, and to find comfort reading the Quran. (…) BFMTV
