At this location is the site of the former New Westminster Secondary School. But before this used to be a high school in New Westminster, this was infact the city's Chinese immigrent's cemetery which was used between 1860 and 1920,
Known by various names including New Westminster Public Cemetery, Douglas Road Cemetery and Potter's Field, the cemetery was significant for its representation of the significant Chinese Canadian presence until about 1920. Industries such as mining, railroad construction, logging and fish processing were a major part in New Westminster's founding history, as well as itself was important to the rest of the province, as New West was the provincial capital (briefly), and as the second port of immigration after Victoria.
The New Westminster Chinese cemetery illustrated the historical practices of segregating Chinese Canadian and other burials. Originally it was part of a city burial ground that served all of New Westminster's citizens - with various religious denominations separated within it - but by 1870 the social structure of the place began to change. The swampiness of the ground compelled the Anglican church and more prosperous Euro-Canadians to relocate to the new Fraserview cemetery in Sapperton, leaving this location to be used by First Nations, Chinese, Japanese and Indo Canadians, the poor, prisoners, stillborn babies and the mentally ill.
Before 1907, the Douglas Road Cemetery operated without clearly defined burial plots. Bodies were buried haphazardly and sometimes less than four feet below ground. Missing documentation makes it nearly impossible to definitively say where bodies were buried between 1861 and 1907.
While the city at it's time did it's best to remove as many of the bodies as it could, and move them to either the new Fraser Cemetery, or to send them back to China, or other places of origin, not all bodies were found or removed.
Flash forward to the late 1980s, and you've now got Johnny Depp filming his iconic TV series 21 Jump Street at this school, while there aren't many (if any) testimonials from Mr. Depp himself about this forming filming location being haunted, many of the former students have their own stories to tell, ranging from huanted swiming pools (if there even WAS a pool at the school) to accidents at the old shooting range inside the school
