Haunted schools are everywhere. For many years, people have reported apparitions, creepy sounds, moving objects, and lots of other strange phenomena. Many of the stories told are of students who met with tragic circumstances and perished at or near the school. Apparently, they decided they wanted to stay.
From the Metz Elementary School in Austin, TX to Dundas Distrct Public School in Ontario, Canada, there are many spooky tales of the unexplained. Whether it is an elementary school or university, public or private, there is a haunted school story just for everyone that might just send chills up your spine.
If you have the chance to visit a haunted school beware. You never know what - or who - you might run in to.
