Mystery Monday: Forkland Community Center

Paranormal investigators have confirmed what many people in Boyle County suspected. That the old Forkland Community Center is haunted.
It has been standing since 1927, but the community center isn't rumored to have become haunted until decades later.
Investigators believe the former school is home to at least three ghosts.
"We're in the basement area where they've had a lot of claims," Jeff Sanford said.
Kentucky Paranormal's Jeff Sanford has been collecting evidence for the past year. Each time he and his partners return, it's a different experience.
"When they were renovating the place, tools would just disappear within a matter of minutes," Sanford said.
On one occasion, he says his colleague was in the basement talking to the spirits.
"'Can you touch me, talk to me,' she even said 'scratch me.' Sometimes in the paranormal world you get what you ask for," Sanford said.
Sanford says she was not only scratched, but enough to bleed.
Upstairs, in the old gym, many claim to hear balls bouncing when no one's around. Others say they've heard children running, laughing and standing in the library.

"He said like hi to her and she just vanished right before his eyes," Sanford said.
"That's what we're here for to get that evidence, but when you see something like that, it just even now, it gives ya chills," said another Kentucky Paranormal investigator.
Investigators with Kentucky Paranormal believe there's much more to collect at the historical building and say they'll continue as long as they're welcome.
The Forkland Community Center plans to team up with Kentucky Paranormal to offer overnight tours in the near future.
