The Joelma Building- Brazil

 The Joelma Building- Brazil

This place, located in Brazil is not only haunted by the 486 people who died in a fire, but also by the 13 people who died in the elevator. Hold up- before I continue this story, why don't you comment down which country's story I must write next!


    The fire which had broken out in the year 1971, had managed to kill many people. The fire is said to have been started by an over heated air-conditioning system. Within 20 minutes, the entire building was engulfed in flames. Since there were no emergency exits, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the building, most of the people couldn't escape.

    The fire fighters had arrived, but not with proper equipment and their ladders could reach only till the 15th floor in the 25 story building. They tried to rescue the people on the higher floors using helicopters but failed. It was then, when 13 of the survivors had decided to use the lift, even though it wasn't advisable to do so. The lift had stopped halfway and the 13 of them had unfortunately died in the fire.


The bodies were never recognized by anyone and were buried in anonymous graves. It is said that their spirits had never been able to leave this world. The graveyard in which they're buried in, is haunted by their spirits. The security guard of the place had heard the screams of people coming from inside the graves. After he had poured water in the graves, the screams had stopped coming. Ever since that happened, people have started offering glasses of water to the graves instead of flowers.

    The building is till haunted by the souls of the people who died in the fire. The cars parked outside the building start all by themselves. The elevator stops working when people are inside of it. The strangest of all, the fire alarm goes of almost everyday at the same time when the fire had started many years ago.
