Santa Clara High School

California · United States · Church

Nuns lived on the premises. A hooded figure is seen in the corridors, and voices and chanting come from the chapel that is no longer used.

This school at Oxnard, California was established in 1901, and nuns lived on the premises.

A hooded figure is reported in the corridors, floating rather than walking.

Voices and chanting come from the old chapel, which is no longer in use.

A disused chapel in a school that still runs is an unusual thing to have in a building. It was the centre of the institution's daily life for decades, everybody passed through it every day, and then it was closed and the school carried on around it.

Chanting is a specific report. It is not the same as voices, and everyone who describes it uses the word.

Oxnard was farm country when this school was founded, and the Catholic institutions here served a largely agricultural community.

The school is in use.
