How can a priest who had no children (because he was a priest) be your great great grandfather? That doesn’t make any sense.

Walked through there years ago. It was unsettling. Felt like I was followed and bloody water came out of the bathroom sink and toilet. Several unexplained deaths happened on the campus.

This place is really haunted. Went through there years ago. In the bathroom faucets turned on by themselves. These were older style faucets that were not electronic, toilet flushed itself and again older toilet that needed to be flushed manually. Blood red water from the sink.

I saw Patrick sitting on the grass in front of the school, Patrick is my Great Great Grandfather and so I was excited to see this! The story that I've been told is that Father Louis attempted to shoot Father Patrick in a fit of anger during mass, I've been asking my Grandmother for more about the story though because I'm interested in what she knows. What I've been told for sure though is that the ghost is most likely Father Louis angry that he was held in a mental hospital and died in it. (Sorry I can't remember more)
