Central Point Elementary

Oregon · USA · Haunted site

The school was rebuilt in 1908. A caretaker on the late shift heard children laughing behind him and turned to an empty corridor.

The school at Central Point, Oregon was rebuilt in 1908, and the reason usually given is a fire in which teachers and pupils died.

No record of such a fire has been found, and a school fire with multiple deaths in Oregon in that period would be extensively documented, so the claim should be treated with caution. School buildings of that era were replaced for many reasons, including a single small fire, growth, or simply age.

What is reported is gentle. A caretaker working the late shift heard what sounded like children laughing. He turned to look and the corridor was empty. He carried on walking.

That response, carrying on rather than fleeing, is characteristic of accounts from people who work in a building every day, and it is one of the reasons caretakers are the most frequently quoted witnesses in this entire archive.

The school is in use.
