Belchertown State School
: "Doors unlocked and propped open slam shut and lock. Running footsteps, screams and cries can be heard throughout the building. Temperatures fluctuate between extremes in a matter of minutes. There is also a part of the property near the woods that surrounds the school where nothing grows. There are now no trespassing signs around the property."
State School
: "the state school used to be a mental institution that often had very unfair and cruel treatment to it''s inhabitants. there''s an old story of how two people, who were not mentally retarded, but only had low intelligence, fell very deeply in love, but were kept away from each other because back then, it was 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. there are many ghosts haunting the state schools, and up until a few years ago, 3 of the buildings were used as elementary schools. now only one remains open, and another building has been converted into a teen center with a skate park outside. at night, if you sneak into the skate 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 years ago. the swings on the playground will swing when no ones in them, and just walking near the place, gives you a very sick feeling."
Tadgell Primary school (made on state school grounds)
: "Mirrors vibrate and fall off walls. Blood trails found in cellar bathrooms. Odd feelings come over you when you set foot in there. Feelings of being watched in class. Things like pencils move around. Stall doors slam shut and lock in all bathrooms. Pictures and other things fall off walls. Papers hung are found on the floors, looking like they had been ripped off the wall. Woods on the edge of school grounds are haunted by the ghost of a man. ::This is an ACTUAL school, still open and running, only for another year though. For first and second grade."
