The Brazilian president moved out of his residence because... he's afraid of ghosts.

Brazilian President Michel Temer announced last week that he, his wife, and son would be moving out of the presidential residence because it was believed to have "negative energies" that were causing him sleepless nights.

According to the British newspaper Independent, Brazilian President Michel Temer announced that he and his family will be moving out of the Alvorada presidential palace because it is believed to be haunted.

Mr. Temer and his wife, Marcela Temer, along with their seven-year-old son, will move into the residence designated for the Brazilian vice president. This is where his family lived when he was vice president.

“I felt something strange. I couldn’t sleep well from the very first night there. The energy there wasn’t good,” Temer said in an interview with the Brazilian magazine Veja.

“Marcela feels the same way. Only my son Michelzinho likes it. He’s always running and jumping around.”

Temer also said that he and his wife had wondered if there were ghosts in the presidential residence, built in 1958. According to Globo, Marcela even called in a sorcerer to perform a ritual to驱赶 “evil spirits,” but without success.

Temer was formerly the vice president of Brazil. He became president after former President Dilma Rousseff was impeached last August for violating budget laws.
