Ghosts do exist but some people don’t think they do. Iroquois West Middle School is haunted and there are many stories to prove it. Ms. Fink said there was a boy that died in the girl’s locker room, a civil war soldier, doors slamming, and hearing your name when nobody is around.
A Civil War soldier haunts the school. Miss Fink was teaching a 7th grade class about Civil War. Her class was joking about the Civil War soldier who supposedly haunts the area. Suddenly her computer starts glitching and then blacks out. It didn’t work for the rest of the day.
The ghosts must have some kind of way of entering the school and one way is the old plaque by the gym doors. Rumor has it that people that died constructing the school live in the plaque. People also say that their ghosts slam doors, lockers, and even lights flickering. Someone once said that that plaque is the portal into the ghost world, do you believe it?

A little boy was seen at the middle school on a regualr night. Strangely
One day, there was a dad and his son. The boy’s dad got mad at the boy. He killed his son and chopped him up in little pieces. The dad buried the son and covered over with cement so no one would find out. And that’s where they placed the girls’ locker room...
Many teachers have reported strange occurrences late at night. Footsteps, creaks, and toilets flushing. Some people may say that the toilets flush because they are automatic and sensor, or could it really be a spirit and just want to deny it so they feel safer...
Ghosts Among Us?
Editor's Note: Mrs. Meyer's eighth grade language classes spent time before Halloween investigating rumors of strange happenings around IWMS. Could there be ghosts among us? Read their accounts of "ghostly encounters" and decide for yourself.
