Speaker: As we start tonight's episode.
Speaker: There's something unsettling about old schools.
Speaker: is because...
Speaker: They were once filled with sounds of hundreds of children.
Speaker: Voices that echo through the hallways.
Speaker: Footsteps.
Speaker: Racer crossed.
Speaker: polished wooden floors.
Speaker: Teachers.
Speaker: Calling names.
Speaker: School bills.
Speaker: Ringing.
Speaker: But...
Speaker: What happens?
Speaker: or the noises.
Speaker: Never truly leave.
Speaker: tonight.
Speaker: We're traveling into the mountains.
Speaker: of self.
Speaker: western colorado
Speaker: Just outside a quiet town.
Speaker: of Dolores
Speaker: to a lonely building.
Speaker: standing among fields
Speaker: and old cottonwood trees.
Speaker: a schoolhouse
Speaker: built more than a century ago.
Speaker: a place.
Speaker: were history.
Speaker: and legend.
Speaker: had become impossible to separate
Speaker: This is the story.
Speaker: of the haunted.
Speaker: Lebanon Schoolhouse.
Speaker: in 1907
Speaker: a one -room schoolhouse.
Speaker: was built for one tiny farming community.
Speaker: of Lebanon.
Speaker: just outside of Dolores.
Speaker: It wasn't just a place for education.
Speaker: It became the heart of the community.
Speaker: church services.
Speaker: holy celebrations.
Speaker: Tau meetings.
Speaker: School plays.
Speaker: Children gathered.
Speaker: We're almost every day.
Speaker: generations grew up
Speaker: inside those walls.
Speaker: before the school finally closed
Speaker: in 1963.
Speaker: Later.
Speaker: The building was restored.
Speaker: and they even operated it.
Speaker: for a time
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: as a bed and breakfast
Speaker: observing
Speaker: much of its original character.
Speaker: by old buildings.
Speaker: Remember.
Speaker: Or at least...
Speaker: That's what...
Speaker: the story say.
Speaker: Visitors began telling strange tales.
Speaker: Not terrifying at first.
Speaker: Just odd.
Speaker: late at night.
Speaker: when every guest had gone to bed
Speaker: they would hear
Speaker: children laughing
Speaker: Not outside.
Speaker: not down the road
Speaker: inside.
Speaker: Sometimes.
Speaker: Only one child.
Speaker: Sometimes.
Speaker: Many.
Speaker: The laughters.
Speaker: echoed
Speaker: through empty classrooms.
Speaker: before.
Speaker: disappearing.
Speaker: The instant someone opened a door.
Speaker: Some guess.
Speaker: searched every hallway
Speaker: Nothing.
Speaker: No one.
Speaker: Only silence.
Speaker: And yet.
Speaker: moments later.
Speaker: The laughter returns.
Speaker: from somewhere else.
Speaker: Reports of unexplained laughter.
Speaker: have become
Speaker: The school's best -known ghost stories.
Speaker: Then...
Speaker: came the footsteps.
Speaker: Slow.
Speaker: Measured.
Speaker: Heavy.
Speaker: Walking across.
Speaker: The second floor.
Speaker: even when there was no one else.
Speaker: or staying in the building.
Speaker: Step.
Speaker: Step.
Speaker: Stomp.
Speaker: That's all right.
Speaker: through an unseen teacher.
Speaker: still talk
Speaker: or I still walk between the desks.
Speaker: make him one last round
Speaker: checking homework
Speaker: Keeping order.
Speaker: Guess we'd climb the...
Speaker: staircase.
Speaker: flashlight shaking.
Speaker: only is defined.
Speaker: in an empty hallway
Speaker: With the footsteps.
Speaker: never seemed to stop.
Speaker: They simply moved.
Speaker: into the room behind them.
Speaker: one woman reportedly claimed
Speaker: She was awoke.
Speaker: in the middle of the night because someone whispered.
Speaker: Crap.
Speaker: Class is starting.
Speaker: She opened her eyes.
Speaker: Stand in the doorway.
Speaker: was a silhouette.
Speaker: of a person.
Speaker: Motionless.
Speaker: watching
Speaker: she reached for the bedside lamb.
Speaker: defigured.
Speaker: Vanished.
Speaker: the room
Speaker: was empty.
Speaker: The door.
Speaker: We're still closed.
Speaker: Paranormal Investigators
Speaker: Have long.
Speaker: been fascinated by the
Speaker: by...
Speaker: abandoned schools.
Speaker: Children.
Speaker: leave behind a minstress.
Speaker: emotional energy.
Speaker: years of memories.
Speaker: Laughter.
Speaker: Fear.
Speaker: Joy.
Speaker: loneliness.
Speaker: Some believe.
Speaker: those emotions imprint themselves.
Speaker: upon a place
Speaker: Like fingerprints.
Speaker: pressed forever into the old wood
Speaker: and brick.
Speaker: Whoever you believe that or not...
Speaker: the Lebanon schoolhouse.
Speaker: certainly inspires.
Speaker: the imagination.
Speaker: its original classrooms.
Speaker: Aged hardwood floors.
Speaker: Antique.
Speaker: chalkboards.
Speaker: and isolated location.
Speaker: create an atmosphere.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: that may
Speaker: many visitors.
Speaker: described as eerie and warm.
Speaker: before the ghost stories begin.
Speaker: Now.
Speaker: Let me tell you about one of the creepiest local legends.
Speaker: It says...
Speaker: Few entered the schoolhouse alone.
Speaker: just before midnight.
Speaker: and quietly write your own name across the old chalkboard.
Speaker: you'll hear another piece of chalk.
Speaker: writing behind you.
Speaker: not loudly
Speaker: Just enough.
Speaker: to make your heart stop.
Speaker: When you finally turn around.
Speaker: The chalkboard is empty.
Speaker: except
Speaker: for one word.
Speaker: Present.
Speaker: No one knows.
Speaker: who's
Speaker: supportedly answers the roll call
Speaker: No one has ever proven the legend.
Speaker: but according to local storytellers,
Speaker: those who hear it
Speaker: He ever forgot the sound.
Speaker: Oh, they're tells.
Speaker: Claims on stormy nights
Speaker: the old
Speaker: Playground.
Speaker: becomes alive.
Speaker: The swings move without wind
Speaker: and invisible children.
Speaker: run across the yard
Speaker: a miracle round.
Speaker: turns.
Speaker: and turns.
Speaker: ever so slowly.
Speaker: Though.
Speaker: No one was there to push it.
Speaker: If you listen carefully...
Speaker: You'll hear a teacher's voice calling.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: Line up everybody.
Speaker: then silence.
Speaker: But of course...
Speaker: There's another explanation.
Speaker: Old buildings settle.
Speaker: what expands.
Speaker: Word.
Speaker: Whistles through the forbidden cracks.
Speaker: Our minds filled the blanks.
Speaker: especially in places.
Speaker: where history lingers
Speaker: the Lebanon schoolhouse.
Speaker: Because...
Speaker: has no
Speaker: Documenting record.
Speaker: of the tragic events.
Speaker: often found behind famous hauntings.
Speaker: It's those stories.
Speaker: are best understood.
Speaker: as local folk were.
Speaker: pressed from visitor.
Speaker: to visit her.
Speaker: to visit her.
Speaker: over the years.
Speaker: Still.
Speaker: if he ever finds it himself.
Speaker: driving the quiet back roads of Dolores.
Speaker: and the sun begins to disappear.
Speaker: behind the San Juan Mountains.
Speaker: you might notice a lonely schoolhouse.
Speaker: standing
Speaker: in the fated light.
Speaker: Its windows dark.
Speaker: its halls.
Speaker: Silent.
Speaker: Or...
Speaker: Perhaps.
Speaker: Not quite.
Speaker: Silent.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: If the stories are true,
Speaker: The final bell.
Speaker: never rain.
Speaker: And somewhere...
Speaker: inside.
Speaker: class
Speaker: is still in session.
Speaker: You know, I'm
Speaker: I'm hoping that...
Speaker: Um...
Speaker: I get into this place because I want to see some of these things happening.
Speaker: And it's going to be really cool if I do get into this.
Speaker: so
Speaker: I'm crossing my fingers.
Speaker: and get a hold of someone that...
Speaker: well let me
Speaker: do an investigation.
Speaker: I really would love to do it.
Speaker: And...
Speaker: I'm hoping...
Speaker: that.
Speaker: It all.
Speaker: The facts are true.
Speaker: If you enjoyed tonight's
Speaker: journey into colorado's
Speaker: haunted history and folklore.
Speaker: remember this
Speaker: sometimes serious places.
