— The demolition of a centuries-old orphanage in Newfoundland is raising a curious question for people who once worked in the building — what will become of the ghost rumoured to haunt its halls? “I hope that spirit is now at peace,” said Lorraine Michael, the interim NDP leader for Newfoundland and Labrador. The Belvedere Orphanage is in the process of being torn down in St. John’s following years of abandonment and an extensive fire in April. She stayed in the convent portion of the building and admits to hearing some strange sounds she couldn’t easily explain. “It consisted of walking noises, somebody walking, and always on the top floor of the building,” she said.
