In summary, a packaging firm in Auckland, New Zealand has called in five ministers from different denominations to bless its premises due to fears of it being haunted. However, some speculate that the reported ghost sightings and unexplained incidents could just be a result of superstition and seasonal illnesses. The decision to bring in spiritual help is seen as both a practical and respectful move.
