The historic building had always been home to stories of strange sightings and unexplained phenomena, but it wasn't until the recent works started that the activity began again in earnest.

"It's been a lot of activity over here, but the recent few days, I'm seeing myself," said Bellard.

The strange occurrences, which range from equipment activating on its own to staff hearing the sounds of a judge's gavel in the courtroom when there is nobody else there, seem to happen the most in rooms that are either undergoing renovation or where renovation will soon be starting."Last week we had a flood up on 206, which is two floors above me now, and it flooded that room, the clerk of courts offices from one end to the other," said Bellard.

"No rhyme or reason of why it did it. We've got plumbers over here to come look at it, and they ran cameras through all the lines and nothing. There's nothing that can happen."

"Nothing that made any sense."

It later turned out that the flooding coincided with the original location of the jail toilets.

"We don't have an explanation yet as to why it did what it did," said Bellard.

"There's nothing. So, we're hoping to find out more, you know, but we haven't."
