| The Old Hewitt Trussville Junior/High School Trussville, AL |
History of the Old Trussville Junior High School
The Old Hewitt Trussville High School is located just off Parkway Dr. in Trussville, AL. In 1887 the location was an old slag
furnace that stood in operation off and on until 1919. Producing some of Alabama's most valued product of the time, Pig Iron.
The furnace was torn down in 1933 and Sold in 1935 to the Birmingham Cahaba Project. Later the Hewitt Trussville School was
built. Reports of paranormal activity were reported to the Alabama Paranormal Research Team by the Recreation Director Zach
Manning. Reports of everything from lights and showers coming on to doors opening and closing, hearing footsteps and even
to the degree of sounds coming from the "Red Gym" of what sounds like an actual basketball game. During renovations of the
building the XO over Sea Cadets Jim Holcomb reported being touched by something he could not see. While standing on
some scaffolding and repairing ceiling tiles he felt some touch him near his back and when he turned to acknowledge the
person. No one was there.
No one really likes to stay in the location by themselves but since a cadet must pull fire duty reports by witnesses of the
phenomenon happens very frequently.
Investigation of the Old Hewitt Trussville Junior High School
The Alabama Paranormal Research Team conducted a 6 hour investigation of the building. While personal experiences were
documented to help validate the claims of reports we did not capture as much evidence as we had liked. Flashes of light were
seen by both teams inside the "Blue Gym" were reports of doors opening and closing have been reported. Also a sound that
could be associated with the old furnace. Our recorders picked up a very low "booming" sound. We've ruled out any outside
contamination here since all members were wearing personal audio and can account for audio in all locations.
Some members reported seeing a man that looked like he may have been wearing a janitors uniform, and a young girl
approximately 15-16 years of age with blond hair, in a pony tail and dressed in what appeared to be a t shirt and gym shorts.
Other then these 2 apparitions none have been reported by staff at the old school.

Audio Evidence
 | This EVP was captured by our stationary mic in | |
| the "Red Gym" it sounds like the loud thumps of perhaps an old furnace. |
| The EVP was also captured on our stand alone | |
| mics inside the "Red Gym" it sounds this EVP was caught on a very low frequency. "I'm Drowning" |
| Inside the Blue Gym Faith Serafin ask if anyone | |
| would like to speak to us. A voice replies "Nooooo, Nooooo!" |
Video and Photo Evidence
at this time we have no photo evidence from the old Trussville Junior High but we did manage to capture a very good EVP on
our hand held video recorders.
