Newman Smith High School: Carrollton, TX
Internet rumors, witnesses, and students all seem to think that Newman Smith High School’s theatre in Carrollton, TX is haunted. The story goes that a student named Abigail reportedly died while storing boxes under the stage. Now she is sometimes seen on the catwalk and plays with the gels on the spots. Students hit the stage with a hammer (3) times to keep her from interfering with a show, and sometimes, when reviewing a tape of a show, they can spot her standing in the set’s shadows. CPS decided to look into it…
You can check yearbooks, newspapers, death records, and media and find that there was no Abigail or tragedies under the stage. The story must be fabricated. Abigail would have made it into the papers and surely a memorial of some sort would have been erected in her name. However, according to the witnesses we spoke to many say strange things happen to them while in the theatre. Noises can be heard. Some say a female voice can mimick your female voice from around the theatre and give tech commands when you didn’t give them. Is this because they know the “story” of Abigail or has the belief in Abigail and her story made her a reality in the theatre? Or could it be someone else? They say all theatres are haunted. No way a school district is going to let us come in there with our cameras and film an Internet TV show. But, we wouldn’t mind waving our EMFs around a bit. www.carrolltonparanormalsociety.com
