In 1868, Moses Yale Beach, founder of the Associated Press, gave land to the city of Wallingford on the condition that it only be used for educational purposes. Two years later, Wallingford High School was built. In 1878, a tornado ripped through the region and reduced the school to rubble. The North Main Street School took its place. In 1941, the North Main Street School was torn down to make way for the present day Moses Y. Beach Elementary School.
Although the current school was built in 1941, the ghosts of its predecessors seem to have permanently moved into Moses Y. Beach and continue to haunt its halls. Tragedy occupies the land no matter what building stands on it. Rumor has it that a student once fell to his death through the roof of Wallingford High School, the first school erected there. A few years later, a rare tornado ripped through the school on what may have been prom night. When a new school was built in its place, the auditorium was used as a morgue during a town disaster.
The tragedies of the school’s past now invisibly haunt its present. CreepyConnecticut.net reports that the police have often received calls from the neighbors complaining of what sounds like a party inside the school with voices and loud music. When the police arrive, they hear the noise and see lights and shadows under the doors, but when they open the doors the building goes dark and silent. Students and faculty have also reported a wide variety of everyday spooks inside the school, from electronics being turned on and off to voices coming from empty, locked rooms to full-bodied apparitions. Even one of the school’s historic artifacts appears to be evidence of the school’s haunted past. In an 1878 photo of the first school hanging in the current school’s office, a ghost appears to be standing along the roof’s edge with his back turned and his hands in his pockets.
It is soo strange to report that since Ive started going on Vampire Rave objects in my house are moving on there own.Coincidence.Maybe my spiritual side had been a little dormant for awhile.Maybe now I feel more awakened.Once again I ask if it's my energy doing this or a spirit? I am not seeing the objects move.I am just finding them in odd places where they don't belong like on the coffee pot,or my pillow. Last night at 1:30 Am I awoke to a crash.I went into the living room and my curtain rod was o the groung, curtain off the rod and the rod apart in 2 pieces criss crossed over each other lying on the ground.I wasn't scared rather excited wondering if it could be the spirit of my mother who passed in2000. Either way I have been giving extra thanks and offerings lately to the elements and my guides. I came home from work today to find pieces of my Chess board in the sink! I'll keep you posted on the activity.
