What to do…

Haunted Wallingford Wallingford - an old gas station - a gas station was built over the foundation of a house that burned down. It was later shut down due to some paranormal activities. For instance, two girls went in there to use the bathroom when suddenly they heard banging on the door and on the wall behind them. And it was so loud and hard, the mirror in their was shaking. Other encounters and sightings have also been reported. Wallingford - Moses Y. Beach Grade School - At night, the neighbors of the school sometimes say they hear music and see the lights of the gym on. The police would go and investigate only to walk into the school and find that the music and the lights have been turned off abruptly. Some people, believe that the prom or homecoming was supposed to be the night of the tornado that destroyed the high school that was there before the elementary school. you can hear doors close and loud footprints behind you, rolling carts down the hallways, drawers opening and closing, and computers have powered up by themselves before. One encounter seen by the school janitor was of a young girl sitting in the corner of the gymnasium crying and pointing at the bleachers saying, "Look at the lady in white by the coat rack. She's crying." (There is no coat rack in the gymnasium, by the way.) Back in the earlier days of the school, a child fell through the roof of the building. Also, after a tragic event, the school was used as a morgue. Wallingford - Shell Station on Center - Once a hotel that had a fire, killing most of the people inside. Then the Shell gas Station was built in its place. It is now out of business because of hauntings occurring in the station. These hauntings scared away not only the customers, but the workers too. Neighbors have also claimed to see lights in the building at night. Wallingford - Tilcon - haunted by a man killed while working at the plant workers report machines turning on by themselves, lanterns carried with no one there, see him standing on the catwalks, smell smoke around them while no one is there, feeling like someone is watching you, strobes of lights have been spotted floating around. Wallingford - Tilcon of ct. quarry - employees report a man walks around plant reported to be a worker who was beheaded by the train in the early 30's...he can be seen walking the plant and he turns on and off equipment he turns off the plant lights in the middle of shifts, you can see his flashlights beams on buildings, he calls employees names this is an active haunting with reports even up until last month 2002 Wallingford - Whirlwind Road - Lady in White back in the 1930's a woman was left at the alter on her wedding day.
