May 18, 1927—the school board member who bombed the school.

Bath School site is a site in Bath, Michigan. May 18, 1927—the school board member who bombed the school. Its accounts name only a collective — the bath dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

The Bath School is the deadliest — the '27 bombing that killed 45, the quarter of the town's children. The Kehoe was the board member — the electrician who planted the dynamite, the alarm clocks that timed it. The truck was the second — the suicide bomb that took the superintendent, the 'picnic' warning that he gave.
The wife was the first — the skull that he crushed, the farm that he burned. The wing was the survival — the south that didn't explode, the children who lived. The Bath School is the forgotten — the deadliest school attack that's overlooked, the Lindbergh that stole the news.
The file keeps the Bath School: the 1927 bombing, the 45 dead, the Kehoe motive, and the truck bomb.
The Bath School is the archive's Michigan file — the deadliest school attack.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Bath School is the archive's Michigan file — the first school bombing.
A school keeps its clock — the file's suggestion being that the Bath's hold is the method: the dynamite that was planted, the alarm that timed it, and the truck that was the second.

FILED CLAIMS — 2 on record, reported not verified
· [Documented legend] named ghost legend: The children are reportedly remembered. The lore files them collectively as the Bath dead. The reports at Bath School site are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. It's a documented legend: the telling is real, the contents remain folklore. Sources including 'Bath School' keep the claim in circulation. The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.

· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported a presence at the memorial. Bath School site's file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the standard profile of American place-lore. It's anecdotal evidence in the strictest sense — stories, repeated, unresolved. The account appears in 'Bath School'. Whatever walks there, it walks often enough to keep the reports coming.
