SAINT: View of east entrance to Mount St. Mary’s High School in south OKC.

One building that influenced me in a negative way was my high school, Mount Saint Mary Catholic High School. Now this building is very pretty as it was constructed and finished in 1903 and sits about 5 stories high. The building being built in 1903 means that it is ancient. The floors creak and the only source of heat is a boiler system in the basement. This building is severely outdated and needs some work but this only scratches the surface as to why I have a negative connection to it. Whether you believe in ghosts or spirits or not, this building is haunted. It is included on a ghost tour of Oklahoma and I can confirm it myself. The ghosts were not even the most terrible or terrifying thing about the building, it was the administrative people. The people that ran the school treated the students horribly unless their parents were doctors or lawyers. They would only treat those students well because they wanted their mommy’s and daddy’s to donate money to the failing school. This place constantly smelled like broccoli or beef because the cafeteria was located in the basement and would smell up the whole school. I will never set foot back in this place if my life depended on it.
