Est. 1970 · Nursing Home Conversion · Private School Operation
Bromley Brooke School originated as a private nursing facility constructed by a man for his ailing mother. The building was designed specifically to provide in-home medical care during her final years. After the mother's death prior to the facility's completion, the builder chose to sell the property rather than continue operating a nursing home.
The facility was subsequently acquired and converted into a boarding school for secondary-level students. The structure's original nursing home design was adapted to accommodate dormitory, classroom, and administrative functions. The school continues to operate as an active educational institution.
The paranormal phenomena at Bromley Brooke School manifest through multiple distinct entities and manifestation types. A child apparition—described as a young boy—is reported moving through school hallways, specifically turning lights on and off as if playing. The apparition is described as solid and three-dimensional, moving with apparent purpose through the corridors.
A second apparition is reported in the dormitory facilities: a woman described as pregnant, seen in sleeping quarters. The figure is reported as distinctive due to her obvious gravid state, suggesting either a significant historical event (maternal death or trauma) or residual haunting tied to pregnancy and childbirth.
Environmental anomalies involve the air-conditioning systems: unexplained malfunctions, temperature fluctuations, and equipment behavior inconsistent with mechanical operation. Whether these represent genuine paranormal phenomena or ordinary system malfunctions remains undocumented.
Students have reported incidents of possession—temporary personality changes, altered behavior, speaking in atypical voices—though these accounts lack systematic documentation. The phenomena collectively suggest either multiple residual hauntings or intelligent entities manifesting through various behavioral expressions.

Deatsville, AL
Marbury High School in Deatsville, Autauga County, Alabama is an active public high school serving grades 9-12. In 1966, a cheerleading accident during a pyramid maneuver at the school's football field resulted in the death of a student, Sandy Vinson. A 2005 Andalusia Star-News investigation concluded that the accompanying ghost legend was an urban legend, though the accident itself was verified as real.
Englewood, CO
The one-room Cherry Creek Schoolhouse was built in 1874 and served the Cherry Creek School District No. 19 until consolidation forced its closure in 1951. The building sat on Parker Road before being relocated to the Cherry Creek High School campus in 1969, where it was restored as a museum classroom. It is one of Colorado's surviving examples of late 19th-century frontier school architecture.
Denver, CO
Dora Moore ECE-8 School opened in 1890 as Corona School, making it Denver's oldest continually operating school building. The school was renamed in 1929 (or 1939 by some accounts) to honor Dora Moore, who served as principal for 35 years and significantly shaped Denver's public education system. Notable alumni include actor Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and former First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. The building is listed on the National Historic Registry.
