Happy #3FPFactFriday! Today is brought to you by 🐝! The Salesian School for Boys in Goshen, NY was built in the 1930s and still stands, albeit condemned, to this very day. However if you decide to visit, you won’t be able to help but wonder if the fencing keeping people out of the abandoned school isn’t keeping the secrets of something far more haunting in. On August 9, 1964 a little boy that was attending the school somehow made his way up onto the roof of the school in the middle of the night, barefoot and clad only in pajamas. It is from the roof he tumbled 36ft to his death. The case of how this happened still remains unsolved to this very day. Although the boy’s death was ruled accidental by the county coroner at the time, many speculate that the little boy may have been purposely thrown off the roof resulting in his death. In 2003, the case was reopened when it was noticed that details about the boy’s death were strange. In order for the little boy to have fallen from the roof he had to get over a 4 foot tall concrete barricade all by himself, which police now believe is very unlikely. Where the little boy’s body was discovered was also deemed too far away from the building to be the result of an accidental fall. There was also a discrepancy upon the time of death which was now believed to be several hours earlier than what was originally reported. Is it possible that this boy’s demise wasn’t the result of an accident but actually a heinous murder by a school bully that was covered up by the administration? Many believe this may be the case, including police. Mysteriously enough a fire that happened on the school property in the 1970s destroyed all the information on what students were enrolled at the time of the boy’s death leaving police unable to investigate further. Or has it? Visitors to the school grounds bordering the fenced in building claim to see the apparition of a boy wandering past the windows of the school. There are stories of a ghostly figure appearing on the roof at night and faint whispers hanging in the Summer air.
