The staff at the Bymyra day care center in Tromsø have been talking about the unusual occurrences at the children's facility for months. They've heard strange voices and had the feeling that someone is in the room with them.
They've also felt someone touching them, tousling their hair or grabbing at their hands.
"I don't dare stay in the day care center (called barnehagen in Norwegian) alone in the evening," one of the employees told local newspaper Nordlys.
"Several of us have been chased up and down the hall. It''s as if someone is following us."
The day care center is housed in a former nursing home. It plans to move to new quarters in September.
Until then, though, the workers and the children need to stay there, so they're calling in help. The leader of day care centers in the area, Anne Britt Johansdatter, says she's taking the staff concerns seriously.
"We're working on it," she said. "We've contacted a pastor. They have their own liturgy for such things."
Plans call for the pastor to visit the troubled day care center next week.
