Posttown Elementary School Ghost Hunts
Welcome to the infamous, Postttown Elemetary School, in Middletown Ohio.
Dare to join Haunted Rooms America for a spine-chilling adventure at Poasttown Elementary School in Middletown, Ohio. This notoriously haunted location has driven even seasoned investigators to flee in terror, leaving their gear behind until daylight.
The school’s eerie corridors are believed to be haunted by the spirits of past students and victims of nearby tragic train wrecks. Are you brave enough to uncover the secrets that lie within its haunted halls?
Location History
Poasttown, an unincorporated community founded in 1818 by Peter Post, developed into a bustling area with the arrival of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad.
In 1937, Poasttown Elementary School was constructed near the railroad tracks, replacing an old one-room schoolhouse. The school served the community until it closed in the 1990s.
Despite no recorded deaths within the school, its haunted reputation is tied to two devastating train wrecks near the site in 1895 and 1910.
The latter accident, one of Ohio’s worst, resulted in 36 fatalities and numerous injuries, with the school’s grounds being used as a makeshift hospital during the aftermath.
The Paranormal
Poasttown Elementary School is a hotbed of paranormal activity. Visitors have reported a range of eerie phenomena, including:
- Sounds of Laughter and Whistling: The laughter and whistling of a little girl have been frequently reported, echoing through the empty halls.
- Unseen Touches: Many visitors have felt the unnerving sensation of being touched by unseen entities.
- Shadow Figures: Shadowy apparitions of children have been seen darting around corners and down corridors.
- Noises: The sounds of desks dragging across the floor, doors slamming, and disembodied footsteps are common occurrences.
- EMF Anomalies: Paranormal investigators have documented frequent EMF spikes and anomalies.
- EVPs: Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) and other unexplained recordings have been captured, adding to the evidence of hauntings.
One particularly well-known spirit is that of a little girl, believed to have died in a fall within the school. Named ‘Sarah’ or ‘Cheryl-Ann’ by investigators, her giggles and shadowy figure are often reported.
Other paranormal claims include mysterious voices, footsteps, and the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.
The Whismans, who own and live in the school, have corroborated many of these encounters, further cementing the school’s haunted status.

Paulina and her staff were amazing. The location and experience was superb. Cannot wait to see them again!
My friend and I purchased the VIP tickets for overnight experience at Belle Grove Plantation. While it was cool to be able to explore the house and grounds, the actual ghost hunt got a little boring, especially as it got later. There wasn't a formal check in or introduction and our guide read the information about the location from her notes and did not encourage the guests to interact with the equipment. She talked to the spirits and allowed us to take turns with the Estes machine but it was mostly us sitting around listening to her. We were all ready for bed by midnight. Lovely location and the room itself was beautiful. I do wish breakfast was included. Overall a neat experience but I wish it was a little more exciting and interactive.
My daughter and I booked a Haunted Rooms tour at the Rawlins, Wy Historical Prison. It was so much fun! The haunted rooms teams was amazing, they were knowledgeable with their paranormal investigation equipment. They were attentive yet also allowed us the opportunity to explore and investigate on our own as well. We got some awesome evidence. I was hit in the shoulder by a cabinet that was closed, but swung open with force. Scared the heck out of me, and the Haunted Rooms team member wasn’t able to debunk it because the cabinet door doesn’t move, even when unlatched. My daughter had her hair pulled. We had a cat ball with us that lit up on its own when we asked a spirit to touch it. We had 3 very intelligent conversations with spirits and used a spirit box with these conversations. It was seriously so much fun. I’ve always been a believer in the ability to communicate and connect with spirits, but to witness it personally without being able to debunk anything we experienced made this tour amazing. I look forward to booking again and I’m taking my son this time too.
We just completed the WY. Frontier Prison tour. We had a blast! Loved how they let you roam freely at the end of the night. Also, the use of their equipment & the snacks and refreshments provided are an added perk. Would highly recommend!
Just did a tour at battleship North Carolina and the night can’t be beat. Most definitely one of the most haunted places in NC.
My husband and I just toured the USS North Carolina Battleship this past Saturday. We had an AMAZING experience! Immediately booked another tour for the Bellamy Mansion and ordered paranormal equipment to use. Can’t wait til the next haunt!!!
We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
