About this listen

Broughton School in South Park, Pennsylvania is an abandoned building with a history that stretches far beyond classrooms and chalkboards. The history of the land is tied to education, unrest, and conflict dating all the way back to the Whiskey Rebellion of the 1700s and continuing to the 2000s when the most recent school closed. Paranormal reports at Broughton School are heavily tied to its years as a place of learning. Investigators and visitors alike report children’s voices and laughter echoing through empty hallways. Some have heard a little girl giggle and softly say, “Hello?” Others describe hearing “psst” whispered as they pass classroom doors. EVPs range from unsettling commands like “get out” to strangely emotional pleas of “don’t leave.” Objects shifting on their own and doors slamming—sometimes in direct response to people talking about them—add to the growing sense that something is actively listening. What’s especially intriguing is that while the land has a violent past tied to rebellion and labor unrest, no specific spirits from those eras have been identified. Could they be manifesting as shadow figures, disembodied voices, or something else?
