Eisenhower Elementary

Florida · United States · School

When the renovation was announced in 2000, the night caretakers began hearing banging and seeing a small boy in a baseball uniform run past. Several would.

In 2000 this school at Clearwater, Florida was to undergo major interior renovations.

Once the plans were announced, the night caretakers began reporting banging in the empty building, and a small boy in a baseball uniform running past them.

It escalated to the point that a number of them would not work the night shift at all, which is a real consequence rather than a story: a school district had a staffing problem.

A tape recorder was brought in.

The timing is the part worth noting. Reports beginning when a building is about to be altered, and concentrating during the works, is a well recognised pattern in this field, and it has been observed often enough to have a name. What causes it is another question. Building work also produces noise, dust, air movement, and changes to how sound travels through a structure.

The school is in use.
