Est. 1923 · Educational Institution
Calexico High School serves the border community of Calexico as a regional secondary educational facility. The campus includes standard academic buildings, gymnasium facilities, and athletic fields.
A significant loss occurred when a student cheerleader died in an automobile accident. The incident occurred while the student was traveling home from an away football game—a competitive event played at an opposing school's location. The fatal vehicle accident became the central element of the school's paranormal narrative.
The apparition of the deceased cheerleader has become the central paranormal entity at Calexico High School. Multiple independent accounts describe visual sightings of a young female figure walking or appearing in proximity to the football field at various times.
One of the earliest documented sightings occurred during the 1980s at a pep rally held on the football field. A group of teachers independently reported observing a female figure matching the deceased student's description. The apparition was visible from a distance—enough to be observed by multiple witnesses simultaneously—but not close enough for precise identification or interaction.
Construction workers employed in building the new gymnasium facility reported seeing a female figure walking across the football field early in the morning hours. When the workers called out to the figure, requesting interaction or identification, the apparition appeared not to hear them. The figure continued its trajectory and subsequently vanished.
These visual manifestations are concentrated around the football field—the location where away football games conclude and where students celebrate or mourn athletic results. The apparition's affiliation with this space suggests either residual manifestation (a looping replay of the student's presence at the location) or intelligent entity interaction centered on the location of significance to the deceased individual.
Additional paranormal phenomena include doors slamming, windows closing, lights flickering and turning off. These manifestations occur at various locations throughout the school rather than being concentrated on the football field.

Los Angeles, CA
Bullocks Wilshire opened September 26, 1929, designed by architect Donald Parkinson as one of the first Art Deco department stores in the United States. Business partners John G. Bullock and P.G. Winnett built the structure after visiting the 1925 Paris Exposition of Decorative Arts, using the new aesthetic as their architectural model. The five-story building, topped by a 241-foot tower lit at night with violet beacons, attracted celebrity clientele from Hollywood's golden era for more than sixty years. Southwestern Law School purchased the building in 1994 and completed a $29 million restoration over a decade.
Los Angeles, CA
Manual Arts High School opened in 1910 as Los Angeles's third high school, built on 10 acres of farmland near Vermont Avenue and 42nd Street. The 1933 Long Beach earthquake prompted a full campus rebuild, and architects John and Donald Parkinson redesigned it in streamline moderne style. It remains the oldest Los Angeles high school still operating on its original site.
Soledad, CA
Los Coches Adobe in Soledad, California began as a two-room adobe completed in 1843 by William and Maria Richardson. By 1854 it served as a stop on the Butterfield Overland Stage and the San Juan Bautista-Soledad line. Donated to the state in 1958, it is a designated California Historical Landmark.
