1,168 Comments for Salesian School

The school closed because of the decline in interest in the priesthood. This school was a Junior Seminary for those who were thinking about becoming priests. I was there in 76 and 77.

At our Salesian school the nuns said they throw medals of Mary Help of Christians on property that they need. Supposedly, thats how they ended up with the 20 acres we are on in NJ since the twenties.

I am a teacher at a Salesian school and want to know why the school was closed. What beautiful details and property! Its upsetting to see it abandoned.

The fate of the Salesian school is really sad. In the mid0seventies, when I was 12, my father died and my family thought it would be good for my eight year old brother and I to spend the Summers there helping the priests take care of the horses. We had fun and it kept our minds off of our family situation. I wish I had a least a brick from the school.

Byberry still has some soap here and there aswell.

Wow ! The soap is still there!

InSaNeBoY yea there no spray paint there but in tha bulidin u'll see lots of nazi sings

ok im 15 and i went to this scholl because friends said it was haunted , well in this room i found out for my self it really was!!

Not only do I absolutly LOVE the picture, I love the description. "Pillow carnage." the only thing that would have topped that might have been pillow innards...heehee...well done!

He just wants to play inside with the other little boys...

as soon as i saw this pic i just knew it wud float psycadellic ones boat!

I would think that before they either renovate or demolish the building, they'd do something about those books and films. Like maybe an auction of some sort that would generate some sort of funding towards something.

Searching for spirits at school

Goshen - It's Friday night at Moon Doze Cafe, where Lloyd Rajcoomar and three of his investigators are sitting at a circular table, drawing customer attention away from Molly Hamilton and the karaoke equipment she and a lanky, bearded man have just finished setting up.
"Hey, whattya guys want to sing, "Ghostbusters?" '' says Hamilton, while strutting past the men.
Rajcoomar and the others smile politely, then turn to business.
Rajcoomar pulls out a clear blue plastic folder containing news stories, photographs and several business cards that say "Paranormal Investigation."
He hands over one of the articles headlined "Deadly fall still unsolved in police eyes."
It's dated Aug. 25, 2003.
"It's been 39 years since someone found little Paul Ramos Jr. facedown on the pavement behind the school dormitory. Even so, questions linger about what happened that summer night so long ago."
Rajcoomar knows the story by heart: A 9-year-old boy attending a summer camp in 1964 at the Salesian School in Goshen climbs to the roof at night and mysteriously falls off. Village police suspect foul play, but have run out of leads, especially since a fire six years after the death destroyed records of all those at the camp that summer.
This is what brings Rajcoomar and his investigation team to Goshen. The spirit of the 9-year-old might still be in the school, he says.
And it might need their help.
"It seemed troubled," Rajcoomar says of the purported spirit he spoke with two weeks ago. "It wanted to communicate, but it was very weak."
Goshen just isn't Goshen without a ghost story about the Salesian, a two-century-old, once-450-acre property that belonged to wealthy aristocrats, charities, and an order of Catholic priests.
Stories have circulated for years about the abandoned school building, once part of the Catholic boarding school, prompting mostly teens to trespass on the site late at night.
The thrill seekers multiplied this past summer, after contractors hired in the spring to tear down the mansion, once the residence of the Catholic students, reported glass crashing down from glassless windows.
Reading about the mysterious noises in an article in the Times Herald-Record, Rajcoomar, a 26-year-old security specialist for Wal-Mart, and his troupe of nine paranormal detectives, known as Post Mortum, decided it was time to investigate. The group, formed this past spring, has held numerous interviews with the media, including an article about them in this newspaper.
Only four detectives could make it out this night to tape their findings in front of the Salesian gates for a Time Warner Cable show to be broadcast on Channel 23 at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
The four - Rajcoomar, Jarrod Soles, 22, Avelino Jacinto, 37, and Angel Parilla, 67, - are dressed in jeans and black T-shirts and baseball caps, their names and the Post Mortum logo printed in white. Around their necks, they wear crucifixes and medallions of Christian saints.
Their preliminary readings from the Salesian School include video footage of flying orbs, thermal measurements of cold pockets in the basement air, pictures of a pentagram drawn on the floor of a room, and audio recordings of subnormal sounds. In other words, ghosts, according to Rajcoomar.
"This is him?" asks Dawn Santoro, the owner of Moon Doze Cafe, which is holding karaoke night on this Friday evening."That's hair," Rajcoomar tells Santoro, pointing out the contours of a bright image caught on thermal video camera.
"Are you sure?" Santoro asks, then says, wide-eyed, "I think this is so cool."
If the ghost of the boy is in the Salesian School, it is not alone, Rajcoomar adds. When Rajcoomar asked the spirit if it was afraid, another voice responded, "Hell no, damn you!" he says.
"There are lots of entities in there," Rajcoomar says. "One of them is negative, likely from the pentagram somebody drew on the floor."
Rajcoomar says he has informed police of his group's involvement in the case, but they have not yet responded back. A search for Ramo's family has also turned up empty, so far.
"We won't say it's (Paul Ramos), but we definitely spoke to a boy," he says. "We're holding off our judgment until we can speak to his parents."
