My home town has a haunted cat. Big deal! I have heard other stories about one house that had Hessian soldiers kept in it during the Revolutionary War. I was surprised that wasn't listed.
Mesquite - Eastfield College - Built in the early '70's on the site of the old Motley Mansion. The Motleys donated the land for the school after the house was burned down by vandals. The family cemetery is still there and includes a grave for an severed arm! Anyway, the theater of the school is said to be haunted by a man who watches practices of plays, etc. He has been reported several times in the past twenty years or so.
Mesquite - Galloway Elementary - Several stories are told from employees too visitors whom went through personal experiences of that school. Children heard running up and down the halls at night, from janitors that work there. Chairs moving in the lunch room. A women spotted by a janitor at night walking down the hallway at night dressed in 19th century clothing. And a gym were children have been spotted in the daytime that don’t exist. There is a story of a teacher that told his children they couldn’t use the restroom in the gym without permission a child stood in front of the restroom watching and ran in. he said hey you cant go in there. When he went in there too get him, no one was in there and there’s no other way out. and on the last day of this employees job he said out loud in the gym, "you can have it I don’t have too deal with you anymore”, as he was walking out, a hockey stick was thrown across the gym and no one was in there. This was after school hours. Witnesses there at night and heard children on the playground with no one there. There are many stories about that school for many years.
Mesquite - Old Holloman's Road - Hollomans Road is a small dirt road that curves between Lawson Rd. and Bruton Rd. There is a solitary home that has sat for many years abandoned on this small street. It is the only structure on the road. Brave teenagers have tried to walk the street at night only to disappear never to be seen again. The road became such a danger that the city closed the road off. Witnesses become overwhelmed by a sense of dread and of being watched, even in broad daylight. In the 80s, a Dallas man killed a young woman and her young son and dumped their bodies on that dark and brooding road (this is easily checked, as the case was just solved in the last year or so).
Mesquite - Trail Dust Steak House - It is said that there was a man working on the upstairs railing above the dance floor when the restaurant was being built. He was adding something to the railing, when he fell to his death on the left side of the dance floor. His name is John Brown, he has his own table in the upstairs dining area. Table #218, it sits between the entrance to the kitchen and the grill window. The upstairs lights are on a timer, set to go off at exactly 1am, but John likes to keep the light above his table lit till way after that time. Also, managers and employees have quit there jobs there because around 4am, some nights, they have seen lights turn on and off, phones ring off the hook, printers spit out whole rolls of gibberish, doors swing by themselves, and also hearing footsteps on the dance floor. He is also known to haunt the men and women’s restrooms upstairs, no matter what, the lights find a way to mysteriously turn themselves on in the restrooms. There has also been reports of cold spots felt in the women’s restrooms.

I don't think we're officially haunted. Maybe unofficially!

Dakota, and you think people can spell towns like Haarlemmermeer or Noordoostpolder? But I'm sure they're haunted.

Nothing from my town. But I'm still haunted by the thought of Hillary being President in 2009 (hehe)
