Like most schools in Virginia during the Civil Rights movement, Matthew Whaley elementary underwent desegregation in the 1960s, but not without conflict and acts of hatred. While cleaning out an attic storage room in the school one day, the janitor came upon the hanged corpses of two African American boys that had recently started attending the school. No suspect was discovered, and we can only speculate that the murders were an act of hate. Long after the crime, employees reported seeing apparitions of two little boys that appear to vanish into the door of the attic storage room.
