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. She was so
  depressed that she drowned herself. Motorists
  have seen her on the side of the road totally
  soaked and asking for a ride but when their backs
  would be turned she'd disappear .a few police
  officers have seen the woman Wallingford -
  Yankee Silversmith Inn - This restaurant used to
  be an inn back in the 1800's. rumor has it that a
  man committed suicide in one of the rooms. after
  being changed into an eating establishment\
  banquet hall, the staff have seen a ghost walking
  up and down the stairs after a late night, around
  1230 or 1, when all the guests have left. there
  is also a feeling of someone behind you as you
  walk up the stairs. the final piece of evidence
  is there is a picture of a white ghostly image in
  the brochure for the hall. no member of
  management can explain this.
