When I got out of the Army I took a job as a Security Officer at the Exeter Job Corps. The Job Corps is a place run by the state where young people ages 16 to 25 can go for their High School diploma, GED and vocational training. The Jobs Corps offered competitive wages, a great benefits package and gave troubled kids a second chance at doing something with their lives. What they failed to mention was the Exeter Job Corps was one of the most haunted places in Rhode Island and one of the scariest places I have ever worked.
The Exeter Job Corps was first known as The Ladd School. The Ladd School was built in 1907 for adolescents who were mentally challenged, had a mental or physical disorder or were socially and/or morally troubled. Students were taught factory and farm work until they were considered rehabilitated enough to be put back into society. The school became over-crowded and under-staffed; it became less like an educational facility and became more like a disciplinary school. The school was under investigation for abuse, neglect and there was also suspected murders that took place. In 1994, the school was closed for good. Several years later the Ladd School was rebuilt and turned into the Exeter Job Corps.
I started working for the Job Corps as a security officer in 2005. My job as a security officer was to make sure the students stayed on campus and during the night time, patrol the facility to make sure the buildings were locked. Talking to the students they informed me that the campus was haunted and that strange things happened at the Job Corps. I was told that new students who moved into the dormitory would wake up with scratches on them. Students have heard voices that were whispering, talking, and even screaming. Some students claim to have been touched or grabbed when nobody else was around to do so. New to the facility, I assumed the students were trying to tease me so I paid
