I don't know but you could check the list of all the episodes in the UM series right here on this website. Just do some searching and you will find it.

I would like to know about the school in Calgary also.

Have a nice day.

I did a search for Calgary School and the only thing that came up was this thread. I don't remember a segment about this story, but then, there are many segments that I've forgotten over the years.

Thanks for the posts Im not sure where he heard of this but I d thought Id ask.Apparently some kids died in a school fire and I guess you can hear kids playing and laughing around the site which is creepy as hell.They had tried to demolish what is left but the workers all fell ill and when they tried again with a wrecking ball the machine completely shut off and wouldnt start again until they had it removed from the site.The last time they attempted to do the job the wrecking ball just fell of the chain.Some friends and I were going to check it out should be a good one.

i don't know if it was ever featured on UM - I think that there is a lot of exaggeration and urban legend surrounding this story - for one thing, why would city workers be tearing down an abandoned building on private property?

i found a couple of links that reference this story:

Your probably right it sounds pretty farfetched but as Ghost legends go its a good one.

I'm pretty sure this story was featured on a program called "Haunted Lives". It aired around 91-92ish and was hosted by Leonard Nimoy. I have some of this program recorded, but this segment is not on my tape, but a preview for it is. I also remember watching it that long ago.

I don't remember where the school was located.

"Haunted Lives"...is that the show which featured the haunted Toys R' Us? If so, then I remember this show well. The school segment was especially creepy. At one point, the contruction workers see the ghastly images of little hands waving to them from the windows. I don't remember how it ended, but it was an effing scary segment. My friends and I talked about it the next day, huddled in a group on the playground at school, and paranoid. Good times!

Yep, one in the same. The most memorable thing about the Toys R Us segment, for me anyway, was the infrared photograph of the ghost.

True, but UM has been known to have stories of urban legends, namely Resurrection Mary!

It's the episode "Grace's Ghost" about Grace Brown, a factory girl, murdered by the factory owner's rich and powerful son Chester Gilette.
