The gym at Calera

Oklahoma · USA · Execution site

A girl is said to have died during a game after hitting the wall. Nobody knows her name. The basketball hoops hang off the brickwork at both ends.

The legend at this school in Calera, Oklahoma is that a girl died in the gymnasium, during a game, after hitting the wall.

Nobody knows her name or anything else about her, and that is stated plainly in the original account rather than glossed over.

No death of this kind is recorded at the school, and the entry is included as folklore rather than as history.

What gives the story its grip is the room itself. The baskets at both ends are mounted directly on the brick walls, with no run off, and pupils hit those walls regularly going after a loose ball. Everyone who has played in there has a bruise from it.

A hazard that every single student has felt for themselves, in a building they use every week, is fertile ground for a story about somebody who was less lucky. It may be the whole explanation.

The school is in use.
