considered to be wrong for people with mental disorders to marry or
date or have children. they would sneak to each other in the night and
leave love notes and whisper to each other through windows. it's said
that during the night, you can see them run between their dormitories.

one remains open, and another building has been converted into a teen

park, you can see the ghosts out roaming between the buildings. even
walking through that place in the daylight is enough to give you the
shivers, windows will break, doors slam open and shut, you can hear
screaming and crying and moaning near the men's sleeping quarters, and
the tunnel system that runs below the state schools often has lights
flickering on and off, although power to the buildings was cut off

Trail Inn - A soldier in his late
teens/early 20's from the Revolutionary or Civil war likes to play

elevator at Pope John is certainly very creepy. The fifth floor, which

it will some times take you up to the fifth floor and the doors will
open, staying like that for a short time. However, if you pray while
this is happening, it will stop and take you to your destination. The
elevator also tends to open by itself on every floor when no one is in
it or has pressed the buttton. This is a well known story in this
school and most people avoid that elevator at all costs.

cover, I saw a large, very distinct vessel moving across the horizon.

seemed to vanish.

spirit within the walls of the old French opera house. The building

the children who participate in the theatrical productions. Her
apparition is seen during every production by 1 or more participants in
the plays, floating above the lighting on the stage with a red eye. She
also has appeared to few students when they sit in the purple painted
chair that she died in. Sometimes when one of actors/actresses sit in
the chair before a performance, bad luck comes about to them during
their performance. So next time you are there, watch out because she
has her eye on you!!! - June 2005

here, is yes she did die in a fire here when the building was still
known as French's Opera House. She is said to "live" in the fly loft,
above the lighting instruments above the stage. There is a purple chair
in the audience, on the right hand side near the stage. Flowers are
placed there before performances...if the flowers are not in full
bloom, she will mess around with the lights during the performances.
She is, for the most part, a friendly spirit, although she does like to

had light coming from under the door until the door was opened,

One time there was a person reflected in the window, standing next to
the projector, but no one was there. Someone had keys on a clip hanging
from their pocket at hip level, and these keys somehow came unclipped,
flipped around, and clipped on a wire, while this person was standing
there. A little while later, they realized they were missing and after
searching everywhere, found them hanging on this knee level wire.
(There are at least 15 keys on this key ring, so you would have heard
them if they fell off.) Another time the light upstairs was shut off,
and the only way to get up there is if you have a key, someone with a
key turned it back on, and then 5 minutes later when they went
upstairs, the light was off again. The lights upstairs are always kept
on.

ceiling and was found dead in the seats of the auditorium by a
professor the next day. Tommy still haunts the area above the
auditorium, which has long been sealed up and used for storage. He is
mischievous for the most part, making noises, moving things, and
causing unexplainable problems in the theater. Technicians working on
tall ladders swear they can feel Tommy putting a pressure on their
backs. They claim that it is Tommy trying to prevent any one else from
falling. December 2003 correction:The
actual story is this: It was in the '70's when it happened, and the boy
that fell wasn't a child, he was a teenager.The boy that died was named
Tommy. Tommy and few other kids had been drinking and they snuck into
the auditorium. They were fooling around, jumping on seats, rolling
around on the stage, etc. When the kids where getting ready to leave,
but they couldn't find Tommy. They figured that he had left and so they
left. The next morning my dad got a call saying that his friend Tommy
had fallen through the ceiling of the auditorium. He had fallen head
first onto the floor and died on impact.

South Attleboro - St. Stephen's Cemetery -
A great deal of strange occurrences happen at St. Stevens. There is a
gravestone with the last name Dousette by the big iron cross that used
to glow green. Scientists came into the graveyard to figure out why it
glowed green, and could come up with any answer. They eventually turned
the stone a little out of place and the stone turned red for several
days, then stopped glowing. If you take the name apart, Dousette, you
can make "do you see it." If you drive into St. Stephens graveyard, the
first thing that you will see is a big iron cross (that looks creepy).

go over the small hill and are facing the woods, flash your lights

High School - Reports of cries for help
in the bathroom in the old building of a kid who died in the that room.
People reported that they see his ghost and hear him moaning. - November 2003 update/correction: It was a girl that
committed suicide in the downstairs bathroom in 7 building. It's
rumored that there are still bloodstains on the walls that maintenance
couldn't get out. So it’s permanently locked. Supposedly people still
hear her in there.
