Middle Point School Ghost Hunts
Haunted Rooms America welcomes you to the historic 1885 Middle Point School, in Middle Point Ohio.
Investigate one of Ohio’s most haunted locations together with the Haunted Rooms America team. With a potentially dark past and once a seminary there are many possible things that could be going bump in the night!
Step into the eerie world of Middle Point School in Van Wert County, Ohio. Founded in 1885 as the Western Ohio Normal School, this historic building has gone through numerous transformations, including a significant remodel in 1932 that saw the removal of its third story.
The school became part of the Ridge Township School District in 1952 and has long since closed its doors. Today, it stands as a chilling reminder of the past, filled with dark history and unsettling paranormal activity.
Location History
Middle Point School, also known as the Middle Point Normal School and the Union School, has a murky past. Research into its history is challenging due to the various names it has been known by.
The east annex was added in 1930, and in 1932, the building underwent a complete remodel, which included the removal of the third story. Despite its educational purpose, the building now echoes with the whispers of its mysterious past.
With crime rates in Middle Point higher than the national average, some speculate that the school’s haunted reputation is linked to dark deeds and tragic events.
The Paranormal
Visitors to Middle Point School have reported a range of eerie phenomena:
- Voices and Phantom Footsteps: Echoing through the empty hallways, these sounds suggest that the spirits of the past are still present.
- Shadow Figures and Creepers: Particularly on the second floor, these apparitions have startled many who dare to enter.
- Bouncing Ball in the Auditorium: The sound of a ball bouncing in the empty auditorium adds to the unsettling atmosphere.
- Basement Activity: The basement is the most active area, with numerous reports of phantom footsteps and disembodied voices.
Our investigation in June 2020 captured several unexplained phenomena. While no shadow figures or creepers were confirmed—possibly due to the presence of bats—the evidence of voices, footsteps, and the sound of a ball bouncing suggests that something otherworldly lingers within the school’s walls.

Reviews
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.
My son and I had a truly unforgettable experience at the Rock Island Roadhouse. The team that ran this event were all very knowledgeable of the history of the location as well as all of the equipment that they use. There were I think around 50 people total that attended and they broke us out into 4 separate groups. The first 4 hours of the night that were spent in the group setting taking turns with each team member didn't have much activity going on, however, once we were able to explore on our own the last 2 hours, we had some AMAZING activity! We even picked up what sounded like two whispering words in response to our questions! I highly recommend this group!
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
My dad, my sister-in-law, and I stayed at The Metropolitan for a paranormal investigation, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of history — but what made our stay exceptional was the incredible staff, Julie and Venita. These two amazing women went above and beyond the entire time we were there. They walked us through all the investigation equipment, helped guide us throughout the night, and made us feel completely comfortable and right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch — from the snacks and drinks they provided to the delicious hot chocolate they made for us during our late-night exploring. Their kindness, patience, and passion for what they do turned our stay into something truly special. If you’re looking for a place filled with charm, comfort, and staff who genuinely care, The Metropolitan Hotel is the perfect choice. Our overnight stay exceeded every expectation. Highly recommend! I wouldn't want anyone else to tour with!! 👻✨🍫
