The Haunting
Philadelphia High School is a reportedly haunted school or campus site in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Reports tied to the site usually focus on doors, lights, or objects moving on their own and strange lights and hard-to-explain visual phenomena.
Reported account from HauntTracker: Former Philadelphia High School superintendent Mr. J.E. Hurdle is said to haunt the school.
After numerous problems resulting from integration (as well as other personal matters), Mr. Hurdle shot himself in the late sixties. His spirit is said to roam the hall near his old office, and students at the school late at night have noticed lights going on and off by themselves in the room that used to house his office and doors slamming shut.
If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
