Despite their fascination for young boys and girls - or perhaps because of it -
ghosts seem to be something of a rarity at school. The best we know of are:

Edge Grove Preparatory School: one of the boys' boarding houses boasts a gray lady, who fell down the stairs and broke her neck.

Brymore School, in Somerset, was owned by John Pym, a notorious Civil War figure and one of “five members” whom Charles I tried to arrest in the House of Commons. He roams the former stables accompanied by the noise of horses' hooves on cobbles.

Frewen College. The main house in Rye has a 1633 black and white Jacobean
façade, original leaded lights 'n' all, 17th-century painted oriental leather
wall-coverings, concealed staircases with who-knows-what behind, and a ghost called Martha - the poor darling ran out with her nightie on fire and expired on the onion patch around 1752.

Loretto School: The famous haunted Pinkie House in Musselburgh, with its important painted ceiling in the gallery under the roof, was acquired by Alexander Seton after the Reformation. His first wife, Lilias Drummond, accompanied by a child, is said to haunt the house in the gallery where the sixth-form boys sometimes sleep, as a “Green Lady” - though we understand she is not much in evidence these days.

James Gillespie's High School: Sir George Warrender bought the Edinburgh house that is now the school from its original owners and was intrigued to find that if you hung a sheet from every window you could access from the inside, there were still sheetless windows outside. A secret room was discovered, with blood-stained floor, ashes in the grate and a skeleton under the wainscot. The Green Lady haunts the top storeys to this day.
