Freaky Friday - Overland Learning Center

Each Friday we will have a look at the stories and experiences that have been related to us over the years that are amongst our personal favourites. These will include Crypto, Ghosts, Hauntings, UFO's, and other strange events that may be considered Fortean, from in around the Toronto, Canada area .... and since they are from our own personal files will likely not be found elsewhere on the web .... enjoy!

Overland Learning Center - Don Mills, Ontario, Canada

While finalizing plans for a ghost research class to be held at Overland Learning Center, a staff member approached me about ongoing activity at this location.

Overland Learning Center is near Lawrence and Don Mills and was originally a school. It was converted to adult education and esl in 1989. Originally the building housed Kindergarten and up at this time I'm not certain how old the top class was. There was also a daycare on the premises.

Activity seems to be that of a very young child. Near the front office is a blackboard with chalk. Chalky hand-prints have been found on the hallway floor and pamphlets have been left in disarray. Activity typically happens over a weekend or when the building is not in use for a long period of time. Staff members return to find the hallway a mess with fliers the witness describes it as 'fliers covering the entire floor'.

No children are in the building these days. Occasionally a child will accompany an adult to an esl class but the class is held in a different wing of the building and the child would never be unsupervised.

On one occasion, staff was on strike and entered the building to use the washrooms. Chalk marks were found in the front hall when they entered the building.

Legend suggests that a child died in that location when it was still an elementary school. Confirmation of this has not been obtained.

Witnesses report there are no malevolent acts or feeling associated with these events and staff are comfortable working on the premises at all times. No apparitional activity has been reported.

The witness began working at Overland in 1991. He recalls that the site supervisor has documentation of hand-prints on papers; in fact has the original paper! This report will be updated after an on-site visit to the center.

Our thanks to Robin Bellamy and the witnesses for this report.
