Object movementPhysical effects
Local folklore describes a principal who was allegedly killed by a teacher in the school's early years, with the principal's spirit subsequently causing physical injuries to teachers involved in workplace conflicts. These accounts include reports of unexplained falls and broken bones attributed to paranormal activity. However, no documented historical record of an accidental principal death exists in publicly available sources, including school archives, district records, or news records. The narrative appears to be workplace folklore rather than a verified historical event. Such legends may emerge from ordinary workplace accidents that acquire paranormal attribution over time through oral tradition.
