The Haunting
Amboy School is a reportedly haunted school or campus site in Amboy, California. Reports tied to the site usually focus on doors, lights, or objects moving on their own and roadside encounters and vanishing figures.
Reported account from HauntTracker: The teachers and students have experienced someone coming in the front door, but when they look out into the hall from the classroom, there is no one there. Also, on windless days, the swings out on the back playground would swing on their own. Down in the gym at night, when students play basketball, items would relocate themselves. A broom standing against the wall would be seen standing against another wall.
This, of course, went unseen by the students, until they looked to see the broom was in a new location. The teacher, working down in the school at night, on numerous occasions, experienced something watching her. One night she had to abandon her lesson preparations and hurry out of the classroom. It was said that several Indians working on the nearby railroad (1868) died, and that their ghosts roam the town. The school was closed in 1999.
If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
