North Side

Ghosts at North Side

According to legend, in 1927 the school was built on a Miami Indian burial ground. A tribal chief tried to stop the construction but was unable to do so. Chief Mac, the school’s mascot, was supposedly adopted to placate his restless spirit, but it is reported that the chief haunts the grounds of the school, where the burial site once was. While the auditorium was being built, a portion of it collapsed, killing a construction worker, and injuring several others. The ghost of this unfortunate worker reportedly manifested during recent renovations to expand the school. Then there’s the spirit of a janitor who died when he suffered a fatal heart attack while he was down in the basement of the school. Staff have made many reports of seeing the ghost of the janitor when they go down into the basement. The most popular story from North Side High concerns the ghost of a former student. Her apparition has been most frequently seen in the gymnasium and indoor track, usually in the morning.
