We have done 5 of the most haunted schools in the U.S.A but as many of you asked for a part
2 we stepped it up and looked at some of the creepiest abandoned and allegedly haunted
schools from around the world.
5) Salesian School This abandoned school located in Goshen New
York was originally built between 1834 and 1864.
It was intended to be a private mansion but after it was built the owner David Haight
died and the building was converted into a Catholic boarding school.
In 1964 a mysterious death of a 9-year-old student by the name of Paul caused a bit of
a stir at the school.
The boy was attending a summer camp there with 120 other boys.
While there he stayed on the third floor which was located right next to the school's roof,
the kids would go up there to play with model airplanes.
Paul was found dead face down behind the school.
When police investigated the death they only got very minimal information out of the staff
who claimed the boy slipped and fell off the roof.
The police found this a bit odd as the boy's body was discovered too far from
the building therefore this indicated that he didn't die by falling off the roof.
Some inconsistencies came up during the boys autopsy, the original autopsy had claimed
that the boy died at about 7am but when the police got an independent one performed it
had showed that the boy died at midnight. His cause of death was ruled as a result of a
cracked skull.
The staff at the school refused to be interviewed by the police and the students have stayed silent.
The police have continued to investigate the case but it hasn't been easy, a fire broke
out during the 1970s which erased all records of the boy.
The case still remains very mysterious.
As of today local residents of Goshen are trying to decide on what to do with the abandoned
building some have asked that it be converted into something for the community but others
want it destroyed completely.
Paranormal investigators who have been brave enough to enter the building are certain that pauls spirit
still remains wandering around the school.
4) Halcyon Hall Also known as bennet college this womens college
was founded in 1890, located in Millbrook New York the five story building has 200 rooms
and 2 basements.
Major studies there included art, fashion design, music, child development and many
others.
By the 1970s due to schools opening in the local area the college struggled to survive
and ended up shutting down.
The building now remains in a terrible state, during a cold winter a water pipe burst which
lead to major flooding causing damage to the structure of the building leading
to the ceiling collapsing.
As for paranormal occurrences there isn't many but explorers who have entered the building
have described some creepy disturbances.
People have describe seeing doors close on their own and hearing footsteps and the sounds
of people playing.
Paranormal groups who have explored the school claim the places with the most paranormal
activity are the attic and basement some have claimed seeing ghostly figures wandering around
in the attic.
The school was planned to be demolished in 2012 but it is still standing and it is extremely
damaged.
3) Iraq School There is little information about this case
there have been different sources that claim this school is located in Iraq others say
Afghanistan and some say India.
A group of teenagers decided to explore an abandoned school and film their experience
while in there they come across the normal chalkboards and school equipment.
They then catch a creepy sighting on tape, a shadowy figure can be seen walking towards
them.
After the video hit the internet it caught traction and got the name "The Headless Ghost"
most people in the comment section believe the video if legitimate, one commenter even
claimed the ghost can be heard speaking in Latin saying "They tortured me.. now it's
time to torture you...
help me.
The boys didn't realise the sighting until
after they reviewed the footage, some have argued that it could be glare from the window
or it could simply be fake.
2) Anderlecht veterinary school Located in Brussels Belgium this school is
also known as the lab of horrors, the building was originally constructed in the 20th century
and was then turned into a school in 1969.
The school remained open until 1990.
The school was used as a veterinarian practice and since it has been abandoned countless
animals have been left in jars in the empty building.
Inside the building remains pickled kittens, dogs, pigs heads and many more disturbing
artifacts.
Also in the building various medical equipment and blood can been seen scattered around.
the site has become a hot spot for paranormal investigators most which go to explore have
reported paranormal activity taking place.
Paranormal researches have described hearing animal noises and footsteps, this could easily
be explained by paranoia for being in such a creepy atmosphere.
As of 2014 the building was under construction and all the pickled animals and objects had
been removed so all you paranormal explorers may have missed your chance.
1) St Joesphs Seminary Abandoned and believed to be haunted St Joesph's
Seminary catholic school has a haunting past.
Located in Upholland, Lancashire U.K. it originally opened in 1883 but then closed in 1992.
After it closed some disturbing allegations started to spread about the happens at the
school.
Allegations came up which stated that priests would sexually abuse students at the school.
The school was broken into two sections one was a minor seminary and one was a major seminary.
The minor held boys aged 11 to 18 who were keen to become a priest.
The major held men aged 18 - 24.
In the 1960's a report was released about the junior section it described the schools
traditional teachings and also explained that some of the priests may have been allowed to abuse
the children also in 2004 a different case came up involving alleged abuse between a
priest and a student.
After 109 years of being open the school closed, the abandoned building still remains.
Religious statues still remain standing on the exterior while in interior is lonely and
deserted.
Some furniture remains such as bed frames and one rogue record player which lays in
a hall.
Just due to its cruel past many believe the school is haunted.
The building is extremely difficult to enter as cameras and a security guard guards it but one person
managed to gain access after many times of trying.
A person who goes by the name of Mars Lander explored the building, they didn't describe
any paranormal activity but managed to capture many pictures.
