(ECNS) -- Creepy shadows at night seen at an abandoned workshop near a graveyard in eastern China's Wenzhou city fueled rumors that the building was haunted, though a police investigation found it was actually a secretive prostitution den.
A 58-yearsold local from Wushiling village, Wenku town was the first to notice scary white shadows dangling in the windows at night.
Several other farmers who passed the supposedly deserted facility also thought they saw strange happenings at night. During the day, the door and windows were all closed.
Local police started to investigate possible activities. Usually, two women would enter the room at around 7pm while a man driving a motor tricycle would deliver some men there later.
On June 9, local police nabbed five prostitution suspects at the site. A man, who was recently laid off work, has been charged with organizing the ring and detained. The other four suspects have been put under administrative detention.
