Will Rogers High School

Oklahoma · USA · School

The auditorium at Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma has a figure students describe in a white dinner jacket, moving about on the stage and behind it.

He is understood to be a former band director who died of a heart attack on that stage in the 1950s.

The piece he had just conducted was Come, Sweet Death.

That detail is why this story has outlived every other school haunting in Tulsa, and it is the kind of thing that would be dismissed as invented if it were not so specific. Bach's Komm, süsser Tod is a real work and a plausible programme piece for a school band of that period.

A second figure, smaller and also in white, is described up on the lighting grid.

Other reports come from the caretaker and from pupils who have stayed late for events or detention.

The school is in use and visitors need a pass to enter. The auditorium is a working performance space rather than a site to visit.
