Sparky

South Dakota · USA · Theatre

The storage room at this school in Rapid City, South Dakota is associated with a figure the students call Sparky, and a correction filed in March 2007 moved him where he belongs, which is the theatre.

He plays jokes. He snaps the lights on and off and opens and shuts doors, and he unsettles staff and pupils alike.

Former students, now in their thirties, remember when he acquired the name and why.

That continuity is the whole point of a school ghost. The pupils who named him have left, had careers and children, and the name is still in daily use by teenagers who were not born when it was given.

A nickname earned for a specific behaviour, in this case something electrical, is the most durable part of any of these stories.

The school is in use.
