In 2025, when the last vintage shop finally moved into the renovated Seaholm Power Plant, something peculiar happened. The building, which hadn't generated electricity in decades, began mysteriously powering itself.
The hipsters drinking artisanal coffee in what used to be the turbine hall swore their phones charged faster there. The yoga studio in the old boiler room claimed their students achieved enlightenment twice as quickly. Even the resident ghost - a former power plant worker from the 1950s - seemed more energetic than usual.
But here's the twist: every time an electrician came to investigate the source of this mysterious power, all their instruments showed the building was completely off the grid. The more energy people felt, the less electricity the building actually used.
Some say it's the residual energy of decades of power generation. Others claim it's the collective creative energy of all the artists and entrepreneurs who now occupy the space. The ghost just smiles and adjusts his vintage hard hat, knowing that sometimes the most powerful things are the ones that don't need power at all.
