Job Corps Haunting

ECCJC History

Okay from what I understand is that before this was a job corps, it used to be a army military base for a few years back in 1942, known as Camp Breckinridge. Before it was a military base though, farmers used to reside here before getting kicked off the land by the government (which is still an ongoing legal battle today). They also held german P.O.Ws as well at this camp. I know someone who is a medium and she said that she feels many spirits here on campus. They're not really active during daylight though. I live in the 900s dorms and I haven't experienced anything crazy. Mind you, I am a bit of a skeptic but i find the paranormal to be fascinating.

Friends and I used a ghost app called "sgk1" to help spirits communicate with us through a built-in radio. Most of the time we'd hear nothing but static but sometimes we hear words VERY CLEARLY. We helped a spirit named David get to the other side. He said he had committed suicide and right before he left he said "give me a takeoff" so clear and precise. Everyone in the group heard it. They also claim to see a misty figure to be david. I didn't see it (I'm still a little bit skeptic so my 3rd eye isn't really open up yet).
