Edward McClain High School – This school, built in the late-1800s, is haunted by a ghostly chandelier. Mr. McClain wanted a senior staircase made of marble and Mrs. McClain wanted to add a chandelier.

The chandelier is regularly seen from the Sixth Street side of the school despite the fact that no chandelier is there.
