anyone ever see the ghost of a child?
Clark Kerr Campus was constructed in 1869 as the State Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind. It was used by the California Schools for the Deaf and Blind until 1980, when it was forced to relocate after the complex was declared seismically unsafe. Another issue which involving the closing of the Clark Kerr Campus as the Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind was the death of a mentally ill boy who wandered into the tunnels which run under the campus buildings. After the boy was missing for several weeks, many believed he was kidnapped until one cold winter day a campus nurse turned on the heating system in building 2 of the campus. She reported smelling a propane-like smell leading campus maintenance workers to believe there was a leak in the heating system of that building. When a maintenance worker went into the tunnel, he found the boy, hung from the ceiling of the tunnel. Officials believe the cause of death was strangulation. |
