Owasso,Oklahoma - Haunted 7th Grade Band Building Urban Legend by Mysterious Oklahoma Facebook

[knobswilson]

Here's the real story.....at the end of the school year in '69, Mr. John L. Hurt was in class with the jr. high band.....I was there. He was sitting behind his director's music stand. He had an epileptic seizure and fell to the floor. He was gone awhile then returned for summer band. The school did purchase the Masonic Lodge by the school. On the first day of school the next year, he died in his driveway. It was sad but there is no haunting I'm sorry to tell you. I WAS THERE.

The post by 5kboonie is the true story about Mr. John L. Hurt. He was one of my favorite directors when I wa sin Owasso high School. Cannot attest to the haunted part of this story, but I CAN tell you he did not die in the bandroom! I was standing outside the white band building across the street when we saw the ambulance pull up to his home (which was not far from the school). He died from a seizure. That building was named in honor of him...The John L. Hurt Memorial Band Building.

"Thundercrest" March was one of the toe tapping songs Mr. Hurt taught and directed us at the time of his death. Do a You Tube google to take a listen to one of the bands play.

The band room was on the east end of this building. I was in band class the day Director John L. Hurt passed out while going over music with one of our sections. He passed away apparently from another epileptic seizure or heart attack a week later while leaving his apartment for work. Owasso schools bought the Masonic Lodge building located directly across the street on the east side from the what was then the high school bldg and named the building the 'John L Hurt Memorial Band Building'.

The story is that you can walk up to the old band room and hear the last march he conducted. The building is an annex building now, and you can see the building 0:23

I don't think they use the old one,it might be the choir room

[jroddizzle3]

I have been to school dances there at night and haven't heard anything but I do know they have built a new band room in a seperate building and they don't use the old one...Maybe that's why

[patrioticpiper]

did you hear music? or anything?

[alykaychannel]
