The Bethel Park Schoolhouse was built in 1905 as the Bethel Park High School. In 1917 the schoolhouse became a vocational school and then turned into a grade school in 1934 for the Bethel Park Township. The school eventually closed its doors in 1976 and was used for storage until the Bethel Park Historical Society took it over.
The BP schoolhouse has a museum, within its walls, that honors the Coal Miners from the Coverdale and Mollenauer mines as well as the local veterans. All these artifacts and memorabilia belonged to one of the Coal Miners and/or local veterans. These items are displayed in the museum for the public to view but what souls are still attached to their personal items, care to find out…..
When arriving to school at the Bethel Park Schoolhouse, you will be welcomed by ghostly children laughing, disembodied voices echoing through the hallways and classroom. You may even encounter a few naughty ghostly children while going from classroom to classroom.
People are known to see a shadow resembling a woman in the meeting room. Various EVP’s have been caught of students doing mathematical problems. People also have seen an apparition sitting in the trolley right outside the schoolhouse.
So grab your notebook and a pencil, the haunted class has begun…..
