I was wondering if anyone could help me with finding more information about the ghost of a little boy who has been haunting the children and staff who work at the Madison Meriter Hospital Childcare Center off Mound St. (address I think is 756)? If you have information about this or have stories please do share. Or, if you have better explanation for the occurrences please feel free to give advice.
I have a very good friend who worked at the Childcare Resource Center for nearly eight years. It is used as a daycare center for Meriter Hospital employee’s children from ages zero till they start kindergarten and she was a teacher there in the infant room for several years as well as the toddler room. She was often the person who worked the later shift and ended up closing the building at the end of the night. She explained that she would close all the classroom doors and turn off lights just to turn around and find them on again leaving her feeling horrified. Loud slamming noises were also common when she was alone as well as child’s motion sensor toys going off for no reason. This all could be flukes of an old building but other employees had it happen too and these are all adult women. Once, she left nearly frantic in tears because of what was happening.
Also, the thing that I find the most disturbing and candid it that she also said that during her years there, she witnessed may children of varying ages point to the corner of the room and say, “Bobby…it’s bobby,” or simply “Bobby.” She said others saw this too and children years apart from each other did the same thing and acted like they were looking at something or someone, always with the name Bobby.
So many employees saw this behavior and witnessed the feeling of being watched and lights turning on and off as well as door reopening with no one there that they tried to look in to the history of the building. This is where I need help. They heard it used to be a school for troubled children. I have found no proof of this. Also, they had a bachelorette party for one of their co-workers and had a psychic there who they asked about this “Bobby” and were told it was the ghost of a little boy who died while attending school there due to some type of physical violence at home. She also said he wasn’t trying to scare them and just wanted to play with the other children.
Once again, I know this is still happening even though she no longer works there because she is a nurse at the hospital now and still keeps in touch with the children and the other teachers. Please share if you have information or maybe similar stories of children experiencing ghostly presences.
