Old Dodge City High School

Kansas · United States · School

A Kansas school from the 1800s with blocked passageways beneath it. A young man is said to have gone down there after hours and not come out in time.

The old high school at Dodge City, Kansas was built in the 1800s and now serves as an intermediate centre. What was originally behind the haunting has been lost under layers of legend and invention, which the accounts themselves acknowledge.

What has stayed consistent is where things are reported: the corridors, the basement and the library. Several presences are described and not all of them are characterised as friendly.

There are passageways beneath the school that have since been blocked off. The story attached holds that a young man was exploring down there after hours, knocked himself out, and died shortly afterwards.

Workers in the building have added their own accounts over the years.

A school this old in a town with Dodge City's reputation attracts more folklore than most, and separating what happened from what was written about it afterwards is close to impossible here. The blocked passages are the one physical fact underneath all of it.
