Yates Elementary in Schenectady

No list of haunted places is complete without ghost children creating mischief in a haunted school. At Yates, students report seeing children enter a mysterious locked door with a hidden staircase. Legend says the abandoned classroom was behind the door, but when a teacher was informed and investigated, no children were ever found that had entered the room. The room, according to the stories, was used to teach disabled students and was locked to keep them from leaving. Other stories mention ghosts in the bathroom and strange children’s laughter on the grounds.
