Kemper military school was founded in 1844 as Boonville Boarding School. A private military academy located in Boonville, Missouri. Kemper filed for bankruptcy and closed in 2002. The long history has helped create a number of hauntings at the old school.
Hauntings
Grounds: The ghost of the female cadet can be seen jogging around the track and disappears near where she was killed.
A Barracks: Some have seen Civil War soliders in the door way. It was the old Band Barracks also known as the Female Barracks. A ghost clad in black known as the shadow has also been seen in the hallway, he will open windows and slam doors. Many have heard foot steps walking up the stairs.
C Barracks: Footsteps have been heard throughout the Barracks. During refurbishing, the footsteps were heard often, and when investigated, nothing was found. Even though there was dust and dirt on the floor, no foot prints were found.
D Barracks: Some have seen a figure standing in the window at night. The ghost is supposedly that of a cadet that died in the infirmary during the early days (late 1800s and early 1900s) because medicine had not advanced.
Old Bridge: The apparition of a female cadet has been spotted on the bridge.

I have seen things I can not explain. It has been 13 years since i graduated from Kemper. I still have dreams. I have stories, photos, things I can't explain...I did see on another site about the top floor of the admin building having satainic markings etc...I can say for sure that I saw the same things...1994 I found hand prints on walls, holes in the flooring. It was terrifying. The school has a huge fallout shelter under it with numerous tunnels. The number of locked doors was overwhelming, halls going to nowhere, sounds that have no explaination. I have no proof, I believe something energetic had left it's print on the property. They also drained the lake when I was there that left us to find many interesting artifacts...
