Sources
Blaine High School carries a paranormal reputation centered on a girl named Alana, with strong temporal association to June 1978. The circumstances of Alana's connection to the school remain undocumented in public records, though her presence is asserted as definitive by local folklore.
Paranormal phenomena manifest primarily as auditory events. When students or staff are alone in school hallways, particularly during evening or nighttime hours, they report hearing footsteps directly behind them. These footsteps display the acoustic properties of actual human movement—proximity, cadence, and spatial positioning. However, upon turning to observe or look around, no visible entity can be detected, despite the continued auditory presence.
Most distinctively, Alana's presence manifests through persistent bathroom graffiti. In the girls bathroom on the upper level, the words "Alana 6-1978" repeatedly appear as written graffiti. School custodians report removing the writing, but within several days it reappears—identical in location, script style, lettering, and precise handwriting. This object reappearance phenomenon suggests either intentional repeated writing by an unknown student or paranormal manifestation of the deceased girl's identity.
School custodians have contested the haunting narrative, attributing strange sounds to natural building phenomena (settling, wind-induced noises) and denying knowledge of the Alana graffiti. However, independent student and staff testimony documents the phenomena with consistency over multiple years.

Yuma, AZ
Yuma Territorial Prison operated from 1876 to 1909 on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River in Yuma, Arizona. It held 3,069 prisoners during its 33-year operation, including 29 women. The facility became a state historic park and has been voted by USA Today readers as the Best Haunted Destination in the nation.
Rockford, IL
Robert H. Tinker began building Tinker Swiss Cottage in 1865 on a limestone bluff above Kent Creek in Rockford, Illinois. Inspired by his 1862 European tour, the twenty-room cottage is one of only a handful of Swiss-style residential buildings remaining in the United States. Tinker — a former Rockford mayor and founding member of the Rockford Park District — surrounded the cottage with twenty-seven acres of gardens and a Swiss-inspired three-story barn.
Salem, MA
The Jonathan Corwin House at 310 Essex Street is the only surviving structure in Salem with direct ties to the 1692 Salem witch trials. Built circa 1675 and purchased by Corwin that same year, the house served as the site of pretrial examinations for several of the accused. The property has operated as a museum since 1948 under City of Salem ownership.
