The NPP News reports that shock, sorrow and sickness in the stomach griped a group of journalists who ventured into the darkness of a chamber said to be used for torture in the Castle. Located deep inside the seat of government, the dark cells of the labyrinthine pit which eats deep into the bowels of the earth in the Castle created an eerie feeling among the journalists, most of who talked of the chilling effect of the experience of merely going through the chamber.
So frightened were the journalists that none of them gathered the courage to get to the bottom of the pit, which grew darker and more chilling as one went through it.
From the deepest point in the chamber, not even the sharpest noise or most agonising cry of the tortured can be heard by those outside.
The entry point is a nondescript room covered on all sides with smooth white tiles, which according to Castle sources, facilitates the washing of blood stains resulting from the inhumane acts diabolically and cruelly carried out in the chamber.
“My goodness. How wicked can man be against his fellow man? Merely putting a human being down there is enough to kill his spirit and create a lasting psychological problem for him or her,” said a journalist who went through the “traumatic experience of exploring the hellish chamber.”
The discovery of the torture chamber was the result of an adventure by the journalists who were part of journalists conducted round the Castle by the chief of Staff and Minister of Presidential Affairs, Mr Jake O. Obetsebi-Lamptey.
