Haunted Daycare
by Children's Village 4

I worked at a local daycare by the name of Grant Road Day School for a number of years. I was always told there was a ghost of a little boy who apparently liked to join the children there at certain times like if it was dark outside, and there were still children waiting for their parents to pick them up he would come out to play and confuse the workers on how many children they actually had.

I used to think people were just saying that until one day my co-worker and her husband came to the center at night to set up the kindergarten room for the beginning of the new school year. Her husband was always the skeptic, but now he is a believer! It was late around 8 p.m., he was helping shampoo carpets and had come in from outside where he had seen a little boy who he had talked to but had not responded. The man came in to tell another co-worker that she had better watch her child because it was getting dark out, and that it was cold! The co-worker looked very puzzled and replied that she did not know what he was talking about. The man said that why would she let her child run outside when it was dark and getting cold. The man looked towards the door of the back room where the child stood looking at him. The co-worker replied that she had not brought her child to the center that day! As the man looked towards the door again, the child was now gone!

Years later after this incident, an alarm system was put in the center, available with video surveillance. One day the director called on of the co-workers to tell them they had something on tape! They had actually caught footage of the nursery door open very slowly, then close, without anyone being there due to it was about 3 a.m. All this happened without the alarm going off!
