Time and Temperature Building, Portland
The Time and Temperature Building in Portland, Maine, is considered one of the city's most haunted buildings, primarily known for a ghost with "fire engine red" hair. Also known as 477 Congress Street, the skyscraper has a reputation for strange activity, with sightings of the ghost often centered around the building's elevators. The most common paranormal story associated with the Time and Temperature Building involves a woman with vibrant red hair. According to the legend, the ghost frequently rides the building's elevators, and when she occupies a car, no one else can use that elevator. A psychic medium investigating the building noted that the bank of three elevators seemed to have a mind of its own and sensed the presence of a woman with red hair. The woman has also been seen walking in a hallway. One person reported seeing her and noted that she did not make eye contact before disappearing. The same psychic medium suggested the woman's name might be "Rose". While the red-haired woman is the most famous spirit, employees and others who have worked in the building have reported additional strange activity. According to some who worked for the Portland Symphony Orchestra, which once had offices in the building, weird and unexplained things happened frequently. Another video exploring Portland's haunted sites notes that the Time and Temperature Building is a prime location for paranormal activity due to its history.
