10 Haunted School Buildings

Paranormal beliefs suggest that school buildings may be considered haunted because they often have a history of significant life events, including tragic accidents, suicides, or deaths of students. These events could leave behind lingering spirits attached to the place where they occurred. The high emotional intensity in a school environment, with both positive and negative experiences, could contribute to a perceived "haunted" feeling. If someone spends a lot of time in the building while it's open and active and then finds it empty, it can be strange and disorienting.
