The Kangaroo Inn School was built across the street from the old Kangaroo Inn in southern Australia. The Inn provided a place for weary travelers from all over Australia during the Australian gold rush in the 1800s and is the location of an unsolved murder, though it’s unclear if this murder has anything to do with the school’s alleged haunting. It’s believed, instead, that the couple who had run the Inn are buried under the location of the school. Still, the hauntings have been more bizarre than a couple of spectral inn-owners could account for.

On a March night in 1993, a sleepover was organized to take place in the school. Sounds like a fun way for the kids to get out of the house. During the night, the students and staff alike heard a dog barking from somewhere in the school but, of course, there were no dogs inside the school, according to Spooky Schools. Everyone heard it though. Suddenly, they spotted a ghostly terrier sticking halfway out of the wall. An orb floated from the wall where the dog had been chillin’, and that got the dog moving. The terrier ran from the wall to chase the mysterious, floating green orb through the school, barking incessantly. Needless to say, they were all terrified.

Centennial Hall in Valentine, Nebraska, was built before the turn of the 20th century and is the oldest standing high school in the state, though it’s currently used as a museum, per Visit Valentine. Rumors of spiritual activity, if not spirits themselves, have haunted Centennial Hall’s reputation and its building for decades. The ghost that haunts Centennial Hall can be traced back to 1944.

The story seems to be cemented in stone at this point whether it’s true or not — partly because of rumors and partly because the internet exists. Either way, the story states that a girl was poisoned within the school in 1944. While investigators were looking into her murder, they learned the vehicle for the poison was the reed of the girl’s clarinet, according to Haunted Journeys. Before the school was turned into the museum, the teachers claimed to see the clarinetist’s figure from time to time throughout the building. Things haven’t changed a whole lot, since visitors report generic haunting activity at the museum. You know, lights flickering and disembodied voices and the like. What’s spine-chilling is that music can allegedly be heard coming from the school’s former music room even though it hasn’t housed instruments in years.

The alleged haunting at SKM Pengkalan Chepa 2, a school in northern Malaysia, was so out of this world that it was featured on BBC News. In 2016, several students and staff members at the school reported having seen spirits throughout the building or having experienced other paranormal phenomena. So many, in fact, that the school officials shut the place down. Even to the officials, this haunting was a real problem. They called in Islamic scholars and exorcists to get rid of the spirits that were running amok.

Apparently, there was a black specter skulking around the building. A photo was released that clearly shows some human-shaped black entity hiding behind a pillar in SKM Pengkalan Chepa 2. No one knows for sure who or what is behind the object in the photo, but the experiences of people who were there are chilling. One teacher claimed to have felt the presence of the figure hanging onto her, while a student says it attempted to enter her body. Another says the being caused his mind to be confused and his hands to go numb. All in all, around 100 people claimed to have had an experience from that terrifying week, while government officials classified the happening as mass hysteria.

Pocatello High School in Pocatello, Idaho, is apparently haunted enough to find itself on A&E’s Ghost Hunters reboot. That’s saying something. The school has gone through some trauma in its past. It’s had six people die on school grounds and was burnt down entirely in the early 1900s. Pocatello High is just the type of place you’d expect to find paranormal activity, and it’s reported that several students and teachers don’t ever want to be left there by themselves.

School officials claim that haunted activity has been going on there for a long time. Sure, it’s eerie enough when the piano plays on its own, but a video from the school’s surveillance cameras is the real reason why paranormal investigators are so taken with the place. The video in question shows a shadow figure moving from a bench to the bathroom, and it’s creepy enough to make you turn the lights on. Alleged students from Pocatello commented on the video to confirm the school is indeed haunted. According to Ghost Hunters, a ghost sitting on the bleachers of the school’s gym has told students to “be quiet.” When the Ghost Hunters team investigated the gym, they recorded sounds that seemed to respond to their questions as well as a heavy presence and intense cold.

Deerpark CBS school in Cork, Ireland, was built on a sight that was just begging for a haunting. The land where Deerpark CBS was constructed was once a place where they used to hang prisoners sentenced for death. Creepy, right? Well, the school began to notice paranormal activity right around Halloween of 2017. It easily could’ve been a prank had there not been video footage that suggests otherwise. “We couldn’t understand how this had occurred,” deputy principal Aaron Wolfe said about the incident, “If it is a prank, it’s very well done!”

The video was filmed on the school’s surveillance cameras and the activity was first noticed by Wolfe who then sent it to principal Kevin Barry in a “What the heck is going on here?” type of confusion. The videos show a door flying open with no one around, lockers being pushed away from the wall, and what looks like a “wet floor” sign being kicked by an invisible entity. Once Halloween had passed, the activity seemed to stop. Just kidding. The surveillance cameras caught more instances of unexplained phenomena, such as chairs levitating, a poster being ripped from the wall, and bags pulled out of storage cubbies. If this did happen to be some sort of prank, the jokesters kept it going long after the holiday and make many non-believers question their convictions.
