The Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, formerly Las Vegas High School, is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of Mr. Petre and Will Lowden, with reported hauntings including unexplained temperature drops, sounds, moving objects, and feelings of presence in locations like the theaters. These phenomena are attributed to unexplained events like Mr. Petre's death in the orchestra pit or general concentrated energy within the performance spaces. A janitor or teacher, Mr. Petre, is said to haunt the theater, particularly the orchestra pit, where some believe he died. Reports include seeing a figure in a white tux in the theater or hearing strange noises. The ghost of Will Lowden, son of the school's benefactor, is also associated with the academy.
