With the recent release of diaries penned by the killers of Columbine high school, I started to wonder if there might not be some kind of paranormal activity happening at the school or any place where a mass killing has taken place. Has anyone heard of any strange events happening there?

I haven't heard of anything happening there, but you never know. What happened there could have imprinted itself on the building and playing itself over and over. >^o.o^<

Good question! I've never heard of any activity associated with this school. Who knows, it could be imprinted just as lildeb says, but noone is noticing it or they do notice and just aren't talking about it?!

And who knows, maybe nothing paranormal will ever happen there. Not every place is haunted. If that were the case, there would be paranormal activity everywhere, 24/7. As cool as that may sound, it would get mundane and turn into a norm after a while and not be challenging or any fun. But all that energy had to go somewhere at that school. I thought I heard a while back, that they closed off the library of that school. They sealed up the doors with walls and put lockers there, and built a new library. The old one is now just an empty space in the school. Freaky to think that the energy could be trapped in those walls. >^o.o^<

Wow that's an interesting story, lildeb! I wonder why they did that? It can't be asbestos or anything, because they'd have to remove it, or at least they have to in this state, by law. Or at least I think it's a law, when I went to New Bedford High, they closed off sections of it and were removing asbestos. I wonder if anyone knows more about that than I do?? Be interesting if they closed off a library and built a new one because of spirit activity! True what you said about not every place being haunted! I wonder though, what elements have to be present to cause a haunting!! Wouldn't it be nice to know someday, if there's like a "haunting formula" that has to exist for a haunting to exist?? Hmm, then I wonder if we'd ever be able to find out why some people are attractive to ghosts!! That would be the coolest for me, then I'd be able to hit the "on" and "off" button whenever I wanted, LOLOL!! I hate when I pick one up by accident!! LOL!!

I don't think closing the library has to do with any spirit activity; not all actions like that do. I'm willing to bet that because of the deaths that happened in there, they closed it up because it was just too hard to deal with the memories; and because of it's location, they could not demolish it. If I am wrong here, please, someone chime in with a correction. Well from everything that I have read, it seems like the people who attract ghosts are sensitives. And someone who is not a sensitive and who just can't pick up on feelings or energies of any kind would not pick up on spirit activity. Makes sense to me. Guess to simplify it, it would be something like this. The ghost taps a person on the shoulder, if the person doesn't react in some way they move onto another person until they find a person that does react. Either that, or maybe a ghost sees an aura or something around a person who is sensitive and is attracted to that, or attracted to the energy of the sensitive. That's what I think anyway - makes sense to me. But guess we'll never know until we die. I don't concern myself with the 'whys' of a haunting. As far as a 'haunting formula', if there actually is one I hope that no one ever discovers it! Let's face it, people in general can be pretty stupid. And if something like that were discovered, people would be putting the 'formula' to use and creating the perfect 'haunting atmosphere' hoping to attract who knows what; controlling hauntings. Maybe even pulling spirits to places they don't want to go, just for the recognition that they were able to do it. When you end up going home with a spirit in tow, I don't think it's by accident. Probably more like the spirit wants to be recognized for one reason or another. Who knows maybe they are as curious about us as we are about them. Being a sensitive is a gift, and I cherish it and wouldn't want it to go away, not for a second. Wouldn't want to be able to turn it on and off either; I like being "on" all the time and seeing where it takes me. It's been part of my life since I was a child, and to loose the ability to feel, hear, and see spirits, would be like losing a limb. >^o.o^<

With the sad and gruesome acts that went on there no doubt there is a lot of restless souls there. I would not want to be in that school at night. The thing that probably makes it even worse is the killers and killed died in the same place. I know if I am killed like that I will make it my afterlife mission to hurt those who killed me in the afterlife for as long as I could. I am sure there are people who are beyond bitter and those two idiots for taking their lives away.

This isn't a mass murder, but it was one of the original school shootings. The high school where Jeremy of Pearl Jam fame killed himself is haunted (or was as of ten years ago...it might not even be there now.)
My best friend was in his class in high school and her friend dated his best friend. I know this sounds like the beginning of an urban legend, but I am just trying to establish the situation. Jeremy had a suicide pact with his best friend. Although most of the details of the song are not accurate, he did come out of of an in-school suspension, walk into his class and shoot himself. If I remember correctly, someone asked him how he was, and he replied something like, "real cool" or something to that effect.
The friend never followed through. Within a month he started seeing Jeremy in his room every night. Sometime he would wake up and see him sitting on the bed, other times he would see him in the corner of the room. He always asked, :why haven't you done it?", or just say, "Do it!" Then things intensified. Objects that had meaning to them both would fall or be thrown across the room. Posters of bands they had seen toghether would be found shredded on the floor. One night, the thumb tacks used to hold a flag Jeremy had bought him, came off one by one and hit him as he tried to sleep.
The school is handed as well. My friend continued to attend after the suicide. They repainted the walls and changed the carpets, but no one wouls teacher there and students would not enter the room. They eventually converetd the whole class into a supply closet, including desks. My friend was at the school late on a Saturday for drama practice and had to pass close to the room. Like everyone else, she travelled in pairs because it was so intimidating. They heard a noise and jumped. After they calmed down, they asked Jeremy if he was there. A desk came flying out of the room. There was no way anyone could get in and there was no way anyone could have left the building without being seen.
Others have claimed to see a figure move down the hall, retracing the steps he would have taken. There is also a random gunshot heard from the area of the room sometimes when people are in the building. In my friend's time, three night janitors left...

Didn't this happen at the NB Voke? I've never heard of any stories about it being haunted. I'll have to ask my friend's two girls, they both went there!

Aneaglesangel,
If you're speaking to me...no.
This happened outside of Dallas. I believe the high school was called Richardson High School. Jeff Ament (sp), the bass player for Pearl Jam is from Mesquite and heard the story...

Yup, was talking to you alosa, wow, I've heard that they wrote the song for the boy who shot himself in class here at the NB Voke. I've never heard of the school outside Dallas. I know a boy named Jeremy did kill himself in class but I didn't know him, I was out of high school by then. Surprising how rumours start, eh?? I always felt bad when I heard the song though, either way, wherever it happened, it's still sad a boy shot himself like that!

It's a very sad thing, but its very different than in the song. He was much more of a troubled trouble maker who thought the world was a horrible place and less depressed because his parents never taked to him. He was never a harmless little f#ck who was picked on. He was heavy into drugs and was actually quite popular. That is what makes his story so odd. Almost all of the other school shooters are loners or outcast who people abuse...

Well people never really stick to the norms of things do they?? In every bunch, you'll have a few that have got to break the rules. It's just a shame that people can do things like this!! Drugs? Well that doesn't surprise me! Been many a person led down lots of bad roads because of drugs!!!
