Every town has that weird old place everyone thinks is haunted.
So, BuzzFeed decided to ask the good people of the BuzzFeed Community to tell about theirs. Here are their spooky responses:
1.”Marquette, Michigan. The Holy Family Orphanage. It opened in 1915 as a place for Native American children who were taken from their families to learn how to be ‘white.’ Later it became an orphanage run by (allegedly) abusive nuns. Rumor has it many of these children were beaten and some died from their injuries. There is a story of a little girl who died in a snowstorm, and the nuns put her body on display as a warning to the other children to listen to the nuns. The place was abandoned in the 1980s but has recently been revamped into an apartment complex. People who live there claim to hear children laughing or screaming, seeing figures in the windows of their apartment when no one is home, shadows of children running in hallways, etc.”
2.”My Upstate New York high school’s auditorium is allegedly haunted. The school was built in the 1960s and had a once-state-of-the-art auditorium. It was a cement floor that gradually sloped down, and had a huge ceiling kind of like the Sydney opera house. The story goes that when it was being built one of the workers, George, fell from the catwalk and died upon hitting the cement floor. As dramatic theater teenagers, we THRIVED on this story. Props were constantly moving, lights worked when they felt like it, mics went in and out, and you could hear footsteps in the seats from the stage when there wasn’t an audience. Rumor has it that if you go down to the local newspaper you can find the article that was written when George died.”

“He was never malicious and if the students acknowledged him like, ‘George please we need the prop back,’ he would oblige. Maybe he’s just lonely. The scariest thing that ever happened was when the musical director’s son was about three, he would go to rehearsals or I would babysit him. After a rehearsal, he was talking about how he saw George and there wasn’t a student named George, so I asked, “What does George look like?” and this 3-year-old who couldn’t POSSIBLY have known the myths about ghosts said, “George looks like water.” I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I can’t say I 100% believe in the afterlife but after that, I believe in George completely.
