Elizabeth College in St Peter Port is said to be haunted by a phantom Nazi soldier, a legend that has captured the imagination of locals and visitors alike. This eerie presence is part of the college's folklore, alongside a more tongue-in-cheek tale of a student who allegedly starved to death in the library over the summer holidays. While the latter story may be more anecdotal, the former has become a widely recognised part of the college's paranormal heritage.

Historically, the Channel Islands were occupied by German forces during World War II, and it's possible that this phantom soldier is a manifestation of the island's wartime past. The college, which has a long history in the town, may be a hub for residual energy or a site of intense emotional activity. Although details of the haunting are scarce, the legend has endured, with many claiming to have seen or sensed the presence of the phantom soldier. While there's no concrete evidence to support these claims, they remain an integral part of the college's mystique.
