The Haunted Elementary Schools in Indiana

While the state of Indiana has a number of haunted high schools, there are even more haunted elementary schools and middle schools. Some believe this is because younger children are more susceptible to the supernatural. Given the number of haunted schools in Indiana, maybe there's something to that theory.

The school gym in Aulfordsville is haunted by a number of ghostly children. Locals sometimes hear kids playing inside late at night, but find the building empty. The ruins of an old school in Bellmore are also haunted. People claim to hear someone screaming and feel cold spots or the air grow colder all around them. Supposedly a student was killed in the school and the killer hid his body in the boiler.

In Bloomington you have the haunted Binford Elementary School. One ghost was once a janitor of the school. Three students pushed him into a closet and killed him, back when the school held older kids. He is now seen roaming through the school wearing a black coat. A different man covered in black is sometimes seen in the auditorium.

Selysions Private School is Cedar Lake is abandoned now, but that hasn't stopped the ghosts. This small school was once an all boys school. According to legend, the pastor looking out for the boys went crazy one night and killed all of his charges. There are stories of screams and cries from inside the school, strange orbs, voices, and even the ghosts of children sitting at their desk. However many locals claim that the school closed due to a funding issue and that no one ever died there.

The Kahler School in Dyer is haunted by the woman the school was named after: Agnes Kahler. Agnes makes things move, opens the lockers, closes doors and even makes the toilet flush. There are also stories about the ghost of a boy running through the halls and many people claim to feel someone watching them. The school tore down the haunted section, but the stories still persist.
