Pocatello "Poky" High School If the name "Poky" High School isn't
creepy enough, wait until you hear what happens inside this most haunted of schools.
Security surveillance cameras are to thank for the eerie recordings of the paranormal
events at the high school in Pocatello, Idaho.
Paranormal activity was caught in full effect during a school holiday, with everything from
spastic lights flickering to a creepy grayish ghoul standing in the midst.
The utterly frightening event was reported in the Idaho State Journal.
The report stated that the lights began to flash sporadically, while a figure transitioned
from a sitting position against a wall to the bathroom, only to come out of the bathroom
shortly later and traipse down the hallway out of view of the security camera.
This wasn't the first paranormal encounter at Poky.
A former school principal, Don Cotent, tells of several occasions when, late at night,
something like a broom handle banged against the floor below him, jarring him from his
work.
Shaken, he would stomp his feet and yell at the poltergeist for disturbing him.
Other incidences reported by teachers and students, alike, include a ghoul in the rafters
of the gym, a mysterious piano playing – with no pianist in sight –, a shadowy figure
hanging around the auditorium, and ghostly noises throughout the school, all completely
unexplained.
An investigative team suggested that the paranormal activity could be connected to six deaths
from a fire in the original school building, which burnt down in 1914.
Whoever is haunting the building, they're sure doing a good job of it.

Residential School In April 2011, a paranormal team was sent
to a residential school to investigate some alleged paranormal activity that had occurred
there.
One of the investigators on the scene was setting up equipment when she experienced
"one of the scariest experiences" of her life.
On the fourth floor of the school in the dorm where the schoolboys resided, the investigator
was already feeling her spidey-senses tingling as she helped install security camera DVR
cables from the window of one bedroom to the part of the school that her team had designated
home base.
To set the scene, it was a bright beautiful day, and the investigative team, as well as
members of another team, were standing outside, photographing the school and assisting in
the cable installation.
The investigator in question was the only one inside the building.
As she fed the cable outside, she heard a window bang shut in another room and footsteps
approaching the room she occupied.
"Who's there?!" she demanded as the unknown approached.
A male voice mumbled as he drew closer to the doorway.
And then the door, which stood ajar, creaked slowly closed.
She screeched in panic.
She knew the history of the ghost that is said to have haunted the residential school;
the ghost of a man who used to torture and kill the schoolboys who lived there.
For a moment, she considered jumping out of the fourth story window.
But before it came to that, her team rushed in to save her.
The residential school had seem some ugly things, so who knows what evil could have
possessed her had her team not been on the ground to come to her aid?

Carl Shurz High School Constructed in the early 1900s, Carl Shurz
High School holds a lot of history…and most of it is scary.
Apparitions, strange sounds and smells have all been witnessed at this school, so much
so that a paranormal team went to investigate the matter.
Using a device called "Andy's Box," which allows ghosts to speak through radio
station scans, the team entered the library and went to work.
They identified how many spirits were in the room – six – and the name of the spirit
who was speaking to them – Stephen.
Andy's Box works a little like a Ouija board.
It interpreted the spirits as they began to grow angry.
The energy in the room altered severely; it now seemed threatening.
Stephen told the investigative team that he was sick and hot.
They asked if the spirit wanted to tell the crew anything.
In response, the spirit screamed, "Fuck you, I'll kill you!"
Though the encounter didn't end happily, no one was harmed.
Being that expletives aren't allowed on most mainstream radio stations, we can be
sure that it was a real ghost to which the crew was speaking.
12.
Little Daycare Ghost One daycare worker was skeptical about stories
that a ghostly little boy haunted the school…that is, until she saw him, herself.
She'd long been told that the little ghost boy confused the staff at times as to how
many kiddos were actually present.
They'd do a headcount of the children waiting for their parents to come pick them up, and
there would sometimes be one more head than was necessary.
But still, the daycare worker didn't believe.
Then one night, the day before the school year started, she, a friend, and the friend's
husband were setting up her kindergarten classroom.
The husband, who had been outside, came in around 8 PM and told the pair that a little
boy was outdoors.
He believed the boy was the son of the teacher's co-worker.
He'd talked to him but was answered with silence.
As it was growing cold and dark, he said the co-worker should probably bring him inside.
He was met with a blank stare by the co-worker in question.
Her son wasn't at the school.
But the man saw the boy standing at the back door and wondered why this co-worker would
allow her son to play outside at night.
He asked her again to bring him inside.
The co-worker finally said that her son was at home, and when the man turned around, the
boy had disappeared.
A short while later, security cameras and an alarm system were installed around the
school.
The surveillance tape caught a door opening and closing at around 3 in the morning, with
no one visible on the footage.
Gotta say, there's nothing spookier than a child ghost.
11.
St. Michael's Institution This renowned school is a gem of Ipoh, Malaysia…but
it has a terrible history.
The school was built in 1912 and was once home to the Japanese secret police.
Not only was the school their headquarters and a food storage facility, but it was used
as torture central in Malaysia during World War II.
Tunnels in the buildings doubled as torture chambers and food storage halls.
Nowadays, ghosts are said to haunt these halls.
In particular, one ghost stakes out the fourth floor of the chapel.
Here, a brother has been spotted, donning a black robe, seated toward the door to the
brother's quarters, and praying with prayer beads.
Oh, and one more thing: he's got no head.
Although you probably wouldn't want to run into any ghost at all, a headless one has
got to be on the wet-your-pants scale of scary.
10.
Lambertville High School The small rural town of Lambertville, Delaware
is full of mystery and history, but Lambertville High School is the key to the most eerie and
paranormal history of all.
Founded in 1854, the school was renovated in 1927.
A little over twenty years later, it closed after a terrible fire tore through the building.
Fires seem to be a common theme when it comes to paranormal events.
Ever since its closure, folks have been reporting paranormal activity from the abandoned school.
In one room is some seriously creepy chalkboard artwork.
But that's not the scariest part.
People claim to have heard a girl's blood-chilling scream coming from the third floor of the
building.
Others have reported footsteps dragging through the school at night.
Those who haven't had the guts to enter the building in the dark claim to have heard
laughter sounding inside at precisely midnight.
Most people claim that the source of the laughter is the souls of those children lost in the
fire.
There's yet another story about a football player, Billy, who lost his life during a
game at Lambertville High in 1935.
It's said that this young footballer was tackled and never got up again.
His neck had snapped, and his head was turned all the way around from the impact.
Fast forward twenty years later to 1955.
A group of boys were hanging out at the abandoned school, when they told the story of the Buckeye
who'd lost his life there.
They decided to challenge the boy's spirit to race across the football field.
A cold breeze answered and, frightened, the gang of boys began running across the field.
Two of them lost their lives that night.
It's said that when the corpses were found the next day, their heads were turned all
the way around.
Don't mess with Billy, the Buckeye, at Lambertville High, or you may just meet the same fate.

El Paso High The high school in El Paso is as scary as
they come.
This school is haunted by the spirit of a girl who once committed suicide there.
As her ghost does on occasion, the girl is said to have jumped over the balcony to the
hallway.
People have seen her paranormal image do the same, but before it reaches the floor, the
ghost vanishes.
There is also said to be a strange mist that hangs over the hallway where she was found.
The haunted school has classrooms hidden underneath the building, a strange gooey substance that
seeps from the ceilings, and misty hallways that, at times, must be sealed off.
A ghost has even been caught on camera.
In 1985, the graduating class took their annual photo.
The image turned out blurry, but the ghost student is pictured, dressed all in white,
standing amongst the other students.
Official reports indicate that "no one was standing there when the picture was taken,
nor can the female in question be identified."
Spine-tingling, am I right?
8.
Pennsylvania State University The centuries-old university in Pennsylvania
is home to several different buildings, each the center of its own paranormal activity.
The Keller Building, for instance, was haunted by a poltergeist in the 90's.
When one student came screaming from his room at the dorm, teachers went to investigate.
Even though his room had been locked, other students had reported loads of noise coming
from within and, when they opened the door, they found the room in complete disarray.
Some say a student had once committed suicide in this room, and the student's ghost still
haunts the place.
The basement stacks of the Patee Library are also the favorite haunt of Betsy Aardsma,
the spirit of a woman who was murdered in the building in 1969.
Students have reported spying glowing red eyes, apparitions, and screams amongst the
stacks.
Some have even seen these apparitions walk through walls.
A particularly unlucky student felt a ghost grab her by the neck at night.
Pretty scary stuff for a boring ol' library.
The stories surrounding Brumbaugh Hall are some of the creepiest on campus.
An axe murderer is said to have entered the hall on Halloween night and killed a pack
of teenage girls.
Although no records of this occurrence exist, students tend to skirt past this building
on Halloween.
There's even an old ghost mule, named Old Coaly, who is said to be the apparition of
one of the pack of mules that served in the building of the university in 1855.
Penn State must be quite a draw if all these spirits are still drawn to it.
7.
Elizabeth V. Edwards School The abandoned building of Elizabeth V. Edwards
– or "Lizzy" as some like to call her – is believed to be haunted by the very
schoolmarm after whom it was named.
The school was built in 1930, but has sat empty since 2004, not due to the "otherworldly"
spirits that school officials have claimed are haunting the place, but rather due to
money problems.
Ghosts could be the real issue though.
Lizzy is one of the good ghosts, though she does seem to take after the students by causing
mischief – flicking lights, banging lockers shut, and jamming out to her 1940s hit list.
Other paranormal events in the building include lights appearing in rooms where there are
no lightbulbs, doors opening, objects being moved, ringing from a disconnected phone,
and apparitions, including a "translucent woman wearing a floral print dress with her
hair piled up high onto her head."
Retired police detective, Bill Cox, served as transportation and security coordinator
for Barnegat schools, and he has said that though the paranormal events may seem unreal
to some – and even to him – , he senses there is something happening in the building.
He's even said that he feels as though he's being watched.
Spooky.
6.
The Ragged School The Ragged School has been investigated for
its paranormal activities ever since it was renovated in the 1980s.
Prior to, it's had a rich history, which leaves no doubt why spirits would want to
return to haunt the building.
Doctor Barnardo opened the school in 1867 when he left his medical training to immigrate
to London from Ireland after the cholera epidemic took hold.
At the time, London was overcrowded and full of poverty and disease.
Schools for the poorest children were few and far between, so Barnardo opened the Ragged
School to give poor children a chance to be educated.
Forty years later, government schools served their purpose, and so the Ragged School closed.
Its position near the Regent's Canal meant that the school's buildings served well
as warehouses for the next seventy years.
Then, when the warehouses no longer served a purpose and the city threatened their demolition,
some locals became invested in salvaging the historic buildings and put together a trust
to set up a museum.
And it's a good thing they did, because if they hadn't, the spirits who haunt the
place would have nowhere to go.
Laughter, loud booms and bangs, and screams and cries can be heard throughout the old
Ragged School.
These sounds have been recorded.
Some even claim to have seen floating lights in the basement of the building, where most
of the poltergeist activity seems to center.
Visit at your own delightful peril.

Gettysburg College Named after the famous battle of the American
Civil War which is infamous for its huge death toll, Gettysburg College, it seems, has become
a favorite haunt for some of those dead.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from both the North and South died at Gettysburg, and Pennsylvania
Hall at this school served as a makeshift military hospital during the battle.
It was built in 1832, more than thirty years before the war.
Needless to say, the suffering of those lost to war is insurmountable, so it's no wonder
that some spirits have stayed behind to remind those of us still living that they sacrificed
so much.
More than a century after the battle, in the 1960s, a pair of campus employees stepped
into the elevator, intending to take it to level one.
Instead, the elevator kept on going, all the way down to the basement.
Unfazed, the employees watched the doors slowly open where the storage area once was, but
instead, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Before them, on stretchers, laid wounded soldiers.
Doctors and other medical personnel hurried between the patients, covered in blood.
Death was everywhere.
The military hospital was alive before them, and the only thing they could do was to turn
tail and run.
Unlike the brave soldiers who fought, the employees were lacking the courage to pick
up some gauze and help the ghost soldiers.
Maybe next time.

Milton School Now a factory and residence for several businesses,
this old building was once a school.
Constructed in 1904, Milton School is the source of many legends over the eighty years
of its operation, including one that dates back to 1930.
It is said that this is when a young female student at the school named Mary was decorating
a bulletin board for her classroom long after the other teachers and students had gone home
for the day.
But she wasn't alone.
As she headed home, herself, she was just about to exit the building when a madman creeped
up behind her.
Horrible things happened to Mary that night, and she was found the next day in the girl's
shower of the school's basement, her body beaten and covered in blood, mainly naked,
her clothing torn.
She had her murderer's skin under her fingernails.
Later that week, it was discovered that the school janitor had started skipping work.
When police investigated the matter, they found scratch marks on the janitor's arms.
The police kept him under surveillance, as they began to mount evidence against him,
but they wouldn't get to execute the villain.
He took his own life, hanging himself in the upstairs hallway of the school.
Below him laid a simple note which read, "I did it."
Ever since these two deaths, many students have experienced paranormal events at Milton
School.
Odd shadows, strange sounds, and even encounters with "Mary."
When the school closed down, the employees of the various businesses in the building
still report the same.
Footsteps, items disappearing and reappearing sporadically, and apparitions of a child,
who we can only assume is the sweet Mary who lost her life so suddenly and violently here.
God rest her soul.
3.
University of Illinois The English building at the University of
Illinois is said to be haunted by a young woman who met her untimely death by drowning.
No one is sure whether the drowning was accidental or murder, but the woman's ghost seems to
have some unfinished business, as she continues to hang around the building, which used to
be a woman's dorm…a dorm with a deadly swimming pool, it seems.
Likely because of the horrible drowning, the pool was converted into an atrium, leaving
the ghost of this drowning victim to walk the corridors on the third floor instead,
sometimes pausing to stare out from one of the windows.
Across the way, observers from Lincoln Hall, on the Urbana campus of the university, have
witnessed a ghostly face in an upper window of the building.
"There really are scary things that happen," says Susan Gray Davis, the university's
folklore professor.
And most agree.
So before you take a swim in the university pool, consider going for a run on the track,
instead.
It may just save you from a similar fate as the ghost that haunts here.

Kangaroo Inn You might think that this entry sounds like
a hotel, not a school; but the institute was built near some ruins of the Kangaroo Inn,
which were located close to the school of the same name in the Australian outback.
The Inn had been up and running during the gold rush and had been operated by a Chinese
couple, whose remains were now buried somewhere nearby.
One student describes her experience at a school sleepover in 1993.
She was barbecuing patties and sausages in the evening, when she heard a dog barking
somewhere.
Dogs were not allowed on the perimeter of the school, so she thought it odd, once she
determined the sound was inside the building.
When she went to look for the source, a Jack Russell burst out of the wall and raced toward
the Tech Studies room, barking all the way.
The dog seemed to be a ghost, because he entered the room not around, not under, but through
the wall.
When the girl told the teacher on duty about the apparition, he replied, "Well, this
school is supposed to be haunted, but not by a dog."
Everyone heard the barking again, and so they raced to investigate.
On the opposite side of the building, they found the dog halfway in the wall, barking
at a glowing green orb.
The dog followed this orb as it began to float up, up, up into the sky, and the dog with
it.
There were five witnesses to this phenomenon – the girl, three other students, and their
teacher.
After the paranormal event, the girl investigated the school's history of paranormal activities
and found that some students had caught the green orb on tape five years prior.
Teachers and students, alike, had also reported feeling cold spots throughout the school and
being tapped on the shoulder on occasion.
Although it seems the place was haunted, at least the ghosts seem harmless…thus far.

Ramsey School Ramsey School, in Bluefield, West Virginia,
has long experienced paranormal activity, so much so that officials began filming.
Moonlit Paranormal investigates any and all haunted buildings, takes video footage, and
documents their findings.
"We plan to mount some Night Vision infrared cameras in the building at the hot spots and
run film 24/7 so we can capture what we have already seen with our eyes repeatedly,"
Joy Baley, the founder and lead paranormal investigator of Moonlit Paranormal, said,
back in October 2016.
"We will be filming for a very long time at this location."
Baley claims that during their investigation, they were in a classroom when she felt something
run into the coat room.
She followed it and heard a whisper coming from inside.
Later, the investigative team played the audio back and heard the disembodied voice say,
"Till death."
Moreover, two glowing orbs shot perpendicularly to form a cross.
The team saw tons of activity in Ramsey School, including slamming doors, loud bangs, shadowy
figures, disembodied voices, and items moving of their own accord.
It sounds like Ramsey from Game of Thrones isn't the only creep with that name.
