story 8:Del Mar High School

One of the most haunted spots in San Jose is said to be the athletic field at Del Mar High School. The haunting here dates back to before the school was even built. Allegedly, a boy was murdered by his best friend back in 1942 on the spot where the athletic field now is. This explains why students and staff alike have reported seeing a boy running up and down the bleachers at the side of the field. There have also been a number of reports of disembodied screaming heard at 3.15am every night – the time that the murder apparently took place.

Before the school opened, a boy was reportedly murdered by his best friend on the grounds where the athletics field stands today. Legend has it that every night at 3:15am, screams can be heard coming from the field and sometimes a figure can be seen running up and down the bleachers.
