Gorman School – Lebec, CA
The Spanish-style stucco Gorman School building in Lebec, CA has been haunted since it was built in 1938. It was built on the site of a farm where a 12-year-old girl named Harriet lived and was accidentally crushed by her father’s tractor. She was buried on the property. Her body is said to rest under the stage in the school’s auditorium, where her ghost has appeared to a number of teachers, custodians, and students over the years. In the 1940’s, after a womens club meeting in the auditorium, the child appeared to an elderly lady and warned her not to go out the front door. Ignoring what she thought was a hallucination, the woman walked out the door and slipped in freshly fallen snow. She broke her hip in two places.

I attended this school from 1983-1984 and it is indeed haunted. Several things happened that had no real explanation. Of course as kids we whispered about ghosts, but I never thought it was serious. So a few years ago as an adult, just for fun, I thought I would do a search and I saw that it has been documented as being haunted. Kinda cool!
