Since it’s Halloween season, Antioch Community High School may be the place to hunt down some ghosts.

There are many rumors about ACHS being haunted, but nobody knows for sure how true these rumors might be. ACHS was ranked No. 4 on the list of the most haunted schools in Illinois, according to mysteriousheartland.com. However, there are some doubts about the supposed haunting of the school.

“I do not think ACHS is [haunted], but I have heard rumors that it is. Until I see anything myself, I think it’s just a rumor. I don’t really think anywhere in ACHS is truly scary,” said junior Zach Lewins.

Although there are suspicions, multiple rumors about the school have circulated throughout the student body. Some students heard that a student hanged himself in the auditorium before it was remodeled, and that is who haunts the school. Many girls believe that the bathrooms in the English hallway are haunted simply because there is a creepy feel as they walk in. These stories, whether true or false, have captured the belief of some students. However, not all students agree.

“I always hear stories about Antioch being haunted, but personally I don’t believe in that because I have never had an encounter with paranormal activity or have had eerie feelings,” said sophomore Gabby Wolske.

ACHS is believed to be haunted because of its many renovations and expansions. A former art teacher told the author of “Voice from the Chicago Grave” that the lockers had done something supernatural. The teacher claimed to see the lockers in the basement all swing open in a perfect row.

“I don’t believe that ACHS is exactly haunted. Personally, I don’t believe in the ‘haunting’ type of supernatural beings. But, there are plenty of fun myths like Johnny Sequoit who lives in the vents,” said senior Raymond Luc.

ACHS students think these theories are old myths that just get passed on, and no one really knows why people say the school is haunted.
