Is this worthy of investigation and discussion?

Childwall C of E (Salisbury House) was noted for its 'strange goings on'. The caretaker in the '80's lived in the top floor of the building and on numerous occasions, he heard things 'moving' around.
The building was used as a Ministry of Pensions Hospital for wounded servicemen during the war.

The Bluecoat School, while I didn't go (my bro did), has the infamous subject of 'Peg Leg' who was a shot down in his plane in the war and crawled up to the building and passed away in the corridor. Peg Leg's Corridor as it always was known was a very very cold underground corridor at the best of times whether the story was true or not!
Hi Kev and Cadfael
I reckon that in a couple of schools I attended, Rose Lane and Quarry Bank, my ghost is still wandering looking for my lost GCE results.
Actually maybe the ghostly (or was that ghastly?) pupils of Rose Lane are wandering the aisles of Tesco's looking for their lost school.

There is said to be a ghost in Anfield jnrs, I knew two people who worked there during the evenings and they said say there would be strange knocks and bumps. - ( but I don't believe in ghosts)
My school of Heyworth Street had an apparition or ghost which appeared every morning at nine o,clock prompt at the gate.
Oh no that was our teacher Mrs Lovat or "love it" as we kids called her. Didn,t get the joke at the time

Isn't there a possibility of every school being haunted though?
It seems every school has a haunting
It's the same with theatres, castles, inns, & country houses. The one place where more people die than anywhere else (namely hospitals) never seems to attract the same 'hauntings.'
It is Accomplished
I've not come across any famous school ghosts in Liverpool so far, I'd love to find a Moaning Myrtle or Nearly Headless Nick haunting a local comp though.
I remember that people used to tell us that Hillfoot school was haunted but that was par for the course as it lay derelict for years and it wouldn't me nearly so much fun if there wasn't a ghost.

Does it have to be a certain age the builiding site to be haunted? I do think spirits run in a lot of places..
Hospitals when people die.. Had a ghost in me sisters room and mums room at their death.. They said they saw a man in the corner of the room.. ???? Different hospitals.. but the same experience...
I just said ... OKAY.. Go away whoever you are.. and then my loved ones seemed to be at peace...
Interesting reading that...I have always been interested in the possible hauntings in hospitals, but they don't seem to attract the same attention as the other places I mentioned. Like I said in an earlier post, the Seamen's Orphanage I live behind is apparently rife with 'sightings.'
It is Accomplished
It may well be a story, but it's a fairly long standing story - 20 years + to my knowledge. It's the corridor...now let me see. Enter the building from the main doorway, turn right past the Head's office and go down the staircase till the bottom. The door opens on to 'Peg Leg's corridor - it's that one.
