Many say this abandoned Jacksonville, Fla. school is haunted

[@loganpowell8193]

I know that school its a sad story. Some that died you can hear crays and screaming downtown during the day ive heard the screaming during the day i live in Jacksonville fla in lackawanna right around the corner from the school

[@kernelcoleman8195]

Oh my gawd. Thatz deep & kind of spooky & eerie.

[@nativeskin7819]

I'm almost 45. When I was 15 or 16 some friends and I snuck into here after hearing it was haunted. We also used a Ouija Board. I can tell you now what we heard was NOT a barn owl. Children crying & talking sound nothing like a barn owl. We had heard young children had been murdered there, but they couldn't confirm it. I do feel something bad happened to children there at some point.

I literally always wanted to go inside that building I’m dumbfounded that it’s on the news and I’m not the only one 😂

[@jaxflfreebird]

I've been inside the ruins back in the 80's. There's really not much left. I have pictures too that I got off of the internet of years after. Thieves stole ever piece of brass or valuable metal from the place. Toilets were destroyed. There isn't much left of the place. And this school has been in the news forever. It has a folklore aspect to it. People love the place and want it saved and this is why it still stands in the form of a shell. They've only been talking FOREVER about doing something, anything to this school.

@@jaxflfreebird that’s cool man and yeah I figured everything would be wrecked to shit but it’s still a very cool place in my opinion, something about it looking so innocent and how it’s withered and abandoned will always be pretty cool to me

Fireproof school that burnt

[@Mr20001]

...and is still standing.

[@phillipr6676]

It’s haunted by former students that are dead and murdered.

[@kernelcoleman8195]

She lying it's a historical fact that that furnace exploded & killed all those children.

[@cgreen399]

I interviewed at a company that was right across from this school. It looked so creepy

[@BukBuk187]

Did you get the job?

[@melissavanparys6786]

My Dad attended this school in the 1940s.

[@colleb95]

And there's public school #8 too!

[@marchunison955]

They say its not haunted but i wonder if any one of them dare spend a night and then see if they still believe its barn owls

[@prod.domino]

Great video! Very educational. It's sad how racism shaped the development of the interstate highway system, splitting communities and abandoning important things like this school.

[@elizabethramsey1554]

School house number 4 is haunted!!

[@-edsense-rivera3716]

It would be a cool music venue

[@CHOWNINGjw]

What's wrong with Jacksonville turn that place into a homeless shelter so many homeless in Jacksonville

[@sabrinarichards4135]

Interstate 10 should be teared down and built around it

[@Ray-px5ov]

Jacksonville has such a racist history.

[@Scratchhh]

i don't believe this is up anymore. went to check it out last week and it's been demolished, checked out public school #8 instead and had no problems! school was awesome to walk through and afaik no squatters or ghosts

[@graffiti_soul]

It’s definitely still there 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

[@Scratchhh]

@@graffiti_soul maybe I’m thinking of one of the different schools that are all just the same name with a different number can u blame me bro

[@BukBuk187]

@@graffiti_soul have you been inside this place? Is it as creepy as they claim?

[@Dre-np9yk]

@@BukBuk187 I live near downtown maybe 15 minutes away. I haven’t been here but we pass it almost every week. When you go past it you get shivers and it’s creepy af

[@jaxflfreebird]

@@BukBuk187 I've been inside. It is creepy. I was mostly creeped out about being in a building trespassing and me and a friend even ran into a dude who was in the building. My friend said he was glad I was with him. I'm still proud of that comment but little did he know what a weakling and a scaredy cat I really was and still am. I should have told him he wasn't as safe as he thought but even the guy in the school could see I was working out back then and had some muscle. It didn't mean I was a fighter though. I was afraid at every turn that I'd run into somebody, and then we ran into that young, tough looking homeless guy, probably in his 20's as we were.

Silly?

Yes, yo mama is a silly woman. Silly!!
