RUMORS OR REALITY: LINCOLN HIGH’S HORRORS by
delaney gramlick
Opened in 1965, LHS has seen its share of rumors; from an alleged pool in the basement to numerous claims of ghost sightings, the school has many of its very own myths. At least LHS inhabitants hope they are just myths. The pool in the basement has been confirmed as only a rumor by various accounts. From the words of custodians to photo and video evidence of the LHS basement, it is clear that there is not actually a pool residing in the walls of LHS. The ghosts, on the other hand, are harder to dispel… Charnelle Wooledge, an LHS computer science and physical science teacher, had never believed in ghosts until she began having experiences with them at the school. One night while she was completely alone in the building, Wooledge heard sounds of squeaking shoes and witnessed a hand dryer in the women’s bathroom go on by itself. She has also heard ownerless keys rattling, observed multiple computers turning on by themselves at once, witnessed chairs and dark silhouettes moving around and even noticed a bright light moving around in an empty, locked room. “I looked over to room A300F while working and saw a silhouette of a person in a fishing hat peak their head over the top of a monitor,” said Wooledge. However, Wooledge’s haunting encounters are not the only evidence of paranormal activity at LHS. In a documentary made in 2015, “The Paranormal Files Ep. 1,” then LHS senior Colin Browen explored the
hauntings of LHS. Using custodians’ knowledge of the school, teacher accounts of ghost encounters and even film evidence of paranormal activity in the high school, the documentary presents quite persuasive evidence of a haunted LHS. Browen inspected the LHS basement, auditorium and abandoned halls one night after school, and not to no avail. Disembodied voices and noises, unexplainable glimpses of strange sights, doors in the basement closing by themselves, creepy stories from staff members and even grown adults freaking out on camera can all be witnessed in the documentary. Maybe the documentary’s evidence of ‘ghosts’ was simply weird lighting and noises that can be blamed on the building’s old wires and pipes. The doors shutting by themselves? Just the air conditioner. Potentially Wooledge’s stories could be explained somehow. Of course, it is possible that all of it can be dismissed with some sort of far-fetched explanation. But the evidence makes it seem unlikely.
