Indio High School

California · USA · School

A caretaker working past midnight in the rain saw two figures sitting at the old fountain, talking and kissing, at a school then surrounded by desert.

Indio High School in California has been open since the early 1960s, and the accounts come from a former caretaker who worked the building at night.

The one he tells first happened at the front entrance, an open space with what was once a fountain and was turned into a garden during the 1990s. It was a rainy night and close to midnight. He was working his way through the classrooms and the grounds when he caught two figures at the edge of his vision, sitting at the fountain, talking and kissing.

Everything about it was wrong and he knew it as he was looking. It was the middle of the night. It was raining, which in that part of the desert is rare enough to be remarkable on its own. And at that time the school stood effectively in open desert, with nothing around it and nowhere for anyone to have come from.

He kept his eyes on them rather than looking away, which is what makes his account worth recording. Caretakers see more of a school building than anyone else does, and they are usually the last to say so.
