Old Barlow Street School

The Story

The old school’s story assigns footsteps, cold patches and unexplained voices to a former custodian. HauntedPlaces also records a figure in an upstairs south-wing window and a window that supposedly refuses to remain shut. The building once hosted a staged Halloween attraction, but the custodian tale is separate folklore.
