  LUBBOCK
In August 1951, a v-shaped formation of lights was seen over the city. The "Lubbock Lights" series of sightings received national publicity. The sightings were considered credible because they were witnessed by several respected science professors at Texas Technological College and were photographed by a Texas Tech student. Project Blue Book, the US Air Force's official study of the UFO mystery, did an extensive investigation of the Lubbock Lights. They concluded that the photographs were not a hoax and showed genuine objects. However, they did dismiss the UFOs themselves as being either "night-flying moths" or a type of bird called a plover. However, other researchers have disputed these explanations and for many the "Lubbock Lights" remain a mystery.

Student Health Building - The elevator opens in front of the security kiosk, and ghostly footsteps exit the elevator, walk past the kiosk, and down the hall.

Acuff
In the Roosevelt High school auditorium a dark figure is seen seated in the audience during play rehearsals. During a performance, the figure is gone, but there is an unseen presence backstage amongst the actors. Props that were missing suddenly appear. Costumes that were damaged suddenly are fixed. Backstage in a dark passageway a seemingly malevolent spirit tries to cause harm to unescorted females as they walk through. No male has felt it, but the females, who have passed through it feel it. It is usually just a feeling of anxiety to pass through, but there were occasions where the spirit became more forceful. The spirit will not let some girls pass from one end to the other, leaving them trapped in the darkness. A couple of girls have actually felt something grab their arms in the dark. They emerged from the passageway with unexplained bruises. It is thought that the spirit of a young girl who died in the basement of the high school is said to still roam the hall. Janitors who are down there at night have heard screaming and footsteps running the length of the hall back and forth. The spirit of an elderly man has been seen and felt in an upstairs computer lab. He is said to leave breathmarks and fingerprints on the window of the door before he disappears.

Ransom Canyon
In the 1880s Apache and Comanche Indians kidnapped white settlers and held them for ransom in this small canyon. The spirits of two twin girls and their mother have been seen near the town's lake. Legend claims that the woman, fearing what would happen to her daughters, drowned them in the lake and then killed herself.
A woman dressed in white walks the area where the modern entrance is. She can be seen in the early morning hours walking up and down the area.
