The most well known and most often sighted ghost is called "Agnes." No one knows what her name was in life. The legend says that she died on Class Night many years ago. Class Night is the night when Tennessee High bids farewell to it's seniors, and promotes the junior class to seniors. Not unexpectedly, there is lots of partying on this night. The night after Class Night, Agnes was found dead in the swimming pool. Now her ghost walks the school, but only in the old section. She has never been seen in the new section.

The second ghost is that of an athlete. Rumor says that years ago, a prominent athlete at Tennessee High was walking home after a game when he was hit by a car. Today, his ghost is said to roam around the field house of Tennessee High, though sightings of him are not nearly as common as they are of "Agnes."

Finally, there is the most bizarre ghost of all: the ghost of a train! According the eye witness accounts, the train will appear in the auditorium, rush down the hallway, and disappear into the old gymnasium. The train sounds like an old steam engine, and makes such loud noises that the entire school is said to shake. No explanation has ever been given as to why a ghost train would pass through a high school, though it's rumored that an old railway once ran through where the school is now located.

The tales of these ghosts have become part of the tradition of Tennessee High, and have been passed down for decades among students and faculty. Today, there isn't much reason for anyone to be in the school after dark, so the sightings aren't as frequent. But they still occur from time to time.
