Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast

You are here Home  > Historical Buildings >  Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast

A school in its olden days, this building stood empty for three decades before it was renovated into an inn. During the time it was empty, it became known as a hot spot for haunts. TV’s Ghost Hunters has caught an image of ghost children running down a hall; shadow figures and a ghost nurse have been reported as well. The rooms are named after longtime teachers at the old school, and many guests have reported strange occurrences such as ghostly children who crawl into bed with them and disturbances with electrical equipment.

    1. My sister visited there last night. She had my little nephew who is almost 2 years old with her. He had stopped at the bottom stairs and began talking to a little boy named charlie and was asking his mom what charlie was doing. My sister said he spoke with this little boy for a while and even said bye to him when they left.. But when they got home, my nephew stopped at the front door and began to invite the little boy inside and refused to go inside for a moment as he said “come in charlie”, but soon came in as if the little boy had came in.

    2. back in 93 -94 a bunch of us spent the night in there before it became a b&b, it was one weird night but one i still remember to this day. i was 15-16 then. i remember an old rocking chair that gave me the creeps. has anyone heard or seen the dog he is normally not to far from a little boy? i would love to go back now that it is a b&b and see what might still be around maybe stay more than just the night. my friends were scared so we didn’t stay the weekend like we first started to do.

      • We did one back in 14, I know it was sold not long ago after one of the inn keepers passed. We have tried to get back in touch with the gentleman who was still living but no such luck.

    3. I don’t know about this old school but I have searched a lot about it and these comments are saying they have been seeing paranormal activity about a little boy and a dog? I’m not sure what’s all happening but I’m curious I want to investigate this situation in this old school
