Haunted Melmore School

After a larger, new improved school opened earlier this year, the decision was made to tear down the old Melmore school, located in the small village of Melmore, Ohio. This school has always been known as haunted, but with talk of the school's destruction, old stories and new flourished around the small community. One spirit in particular, a young girl, seemingly to be approximately nine or ten years of age, makes her presence known. Her apparition has been seen by students, teachers and the village since early 1900's. It is a mystery on how she died or who she was. Some say she's been seen in the windows late at night. Others have commented on her ghostly appearance in the halls and on the stairs. Many people of the community fought against the destruction, to no avail. Many flocked to the school at night, for the few weeks before the demolition, hoping to get her spirit on film or tape, or just hoping she would make an appearance. She never showed. Now the school is no longer there, and a new fire station will take it's place. Will she linger on and haunt the fire house or will she roam the streets of Melmore? We will have to wait and see.

Hope they find and picture if it seen again. I haven't seen a ghost in my personal life, but I have heard so many stories, I hope they document it, since there are sophistacted cameras and recording equipment.

Actually, a couple different groups of paramormal investigaters took pictures. There were orbs on their film, her image itself wasn't captured, though. An old ribbon with a vine wrapped through it floated from nowhere to the floor. Thanks for commenting !

I think what scares me the most is that i live in melmore and my daughter went to the same school untill they demolished it,and sent all the students to the high school, I have only lived here for about maby 2 years now and i havet yet seen or herd anything out of the ordinary, The only scary thing that has me freeked out is that my 3 year old( my youngest) told me that there was a lady that was holding a mop that walks threw her room when she is upstairs playing, i asked her what this lady looks like and all she will tell me is that she is holding a mop and sometimes she stops and looks at her and then walks away and is gone, I dont know if its the active imagination of my 3 year old or if its something completely different but its kinda scary, Some of the Rumors that i have herd about this "little girl" is that she died while walking to school across Honey creek bridge one winter and she fell in an drowned and now her spirit haunts the school because thats what she remembers how safe she felt! Now i dont know if this is true but My daughters and i Pick flowers and take them to the bridge ( which can be seen by my house) and toss them into the creek as a memorial of such because if this story is true then i dont want a little girls spirit to be alone, We even Gave her a name " Lilly" Eand Hopefully If "Lilly" is there her spirit will soon find the light so she can be at rest and be warm and safe again!
