Tony, I also believe you.
I really haven't had any paranormal experiences, but I know it happens.

I know all too well about the haunting of the main building. I had a personal
encounter with one of the many spirits that haunt the place. At the time, it
scared the living hell out of me. When I told Mr. graef, and someone else I
thought I could trust about it, they thought I was nuts. They sent me to Tom
Smith, who called my parents. After a big long debate between Tom Smith and my
parents, I was never to see him again. My parents believed my stories. Because
my family knows about these things. For those of you who don’t think I’m
insane, if you would like to talk to me in person about this, for more
details, call me anytime. In the meantime take care and God bless all of you.

I received this from a friend who lives in Charlotte, Michigan. Interesting!
TWA will reimage the Abigail in a $24.4M project. The Abigail, sits on a
40-acre property. The Abigail school for the blind will be a senior apartment
housing. The Indianapolis based development project will convert the Abigail
into a 42 unit apartment building. But for the past 25 years it has been one of
the 6 "most haunted' places list, according to the Charlotte Shopping Guide.
This massive empty piece of history is believed by many to be haunted. Jean
Carpenter & Dani Fairman tell stories about the Abigail's ghost lore. The duo
cohosted a 'So Dead' podcast that explores true crime, the paranormal & urban
legends in Michigan. The two went inside the aging building. It was the first
for both. They touched the winding staircase & walked Abigail's wide halls &
viewed the spray painted graffiti messages among the peeling paint. Carpenter
researched her book 'Haunted Lansing' released in the fall of 2018. The
Abigail was the heart of 'See No Evil' chapter. The Migican school for the
blind has a paranormal reputation.
Abigail Rogers is the woman the building is named after. According to the
Shopping Guide, for 13 years before the Abigail housed the Michigan school for
the blind, in 1855, it was the Michigan Female College. It is estimate 1000
women students attended.
The Michigan school for the blind moved from Flint in 1880. In the 1950s more
than 300 students attended. The school operated until 1995 when it closed. Now,
it is rumored that 'malevolent spirits' haunt the Abigail, according to
Carpenter. The angry spirit of Abigail has taken up residence, why? Rogers is
angry the school she founded more than 100 years ago closed.
