-Rocky Mountain High School, Byron.
See website for information.
*Website
This combination elementary and high school building has been haunted by an unidentified presence since 1952. Custodians, students, teachers, and even superintendents have reported strange happenings near the former library, which was located where the weight and wrestling room is today. Putrefying odors, intense cold spots, moving mists, disembodied footsteps, lights turning off and on, and appliances working even when they are not plugged in are just a few of the unexplainable events. The superintendent at the time, Harold Hopkinson, remembers hearing and feeling an invisible presence walk past him in the hall and head up the short stairway to the old library. Then he heard the door open and close. No one can remember a tragedy occurring at the school, and the manifestations remain unexplained.

Sweetwater County Library
Parapsychological phenomena have occurred in this building almost from the day it opened in 1980. Lights and electrical appliances go on and off for no reason, and unexplainable voices and strange flapping sounds reverberate through the building at night. Library director Patricia LeFaivre says her staff has seen balls of light dancing around in the closed art gallery room. At least two typewriters have been observed typing on their own, and once, a spring-steel gate at the entrance to the library started spinning wildly with no one near it. Maintenance workers have reported a ghost sitting in the Multipurpose Room late at night. One night, one of them looked directly at the ghost, and the phantom shot into the air and made a loud popping sound when it hit the ceiling. The library was built on top of a cemetery that dates from the 1860s. The graves were moved in the 1920s, but unearthed bodies started turning up on the property in the 1940s. In 1983, three more unrecorded graves were discovered during the construction of a retaining wall. In 1985, during work on the foundation, the coffin of a small child was found. How many more corpses remain hidden in the ground is anyone's guess.
Green River is ten miles west of Rock Springs on I-80 in southwest Wyoming. The city is just north of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. The glass and brick library building is downtown. Sweetwater County Library, 300 North First Street, Green River, WY 82935. Phone: 307-875-3615
