Zigzag Man & awesomeme6969, You are both wrong I grew up in Belchertown, awesomeme6969 you worked at the newer state school located across the street from chestnut hill and behind the new police station. while all locals like myself knew that The Old State School that was located away from that site atop a hill down the street that runs by lord Jeff (and new stop & shop) past Dana hill after the 1 car underpass. The old state school was in fact burnt down by the fire department in a fire exercise that you did have right zigzagman you just had the location wrong. I knew members of the fire department and YES THE OLD STATE SCHOOL WAS BURNED DOWN BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT in what they claimed to be am exercise. Also they figured it was a good way to put an end to ghost hunters visiting the place. Although I would not be surprised if it was done to hide the horrific history of the place as well. I'm sure they did not want people to come out of there with pictures of the shackles in the basement.
