It's a good thing that you didn't go any further in....the floors have a nasty habit of collapsing (I've fallen through one before). The story I
was told, and I've never been able to find out if it's true or false, was that there was a fire and a bunch of kids got trapped inside and burned to
death which is why they closed the school. The same story also says that shortly after that a satanic cult started using the basement and tried to
open a "hellgate". Like I said, I've never been able to find anything on either part of the story, so as far as I know it's not true, but who
knows. I live in Jacksonville and before they put that nasty electric/chain link fence up I used to go exploring on a monthly basis. I never found
the entrance to the basement, but there are some interesting bits of satanic graffiti inside. Probablly left by someone who heard the same story as I
did and wanted to keep it going.
i did, however, have a few strange experiances there over the last 10 years. One time I felt hands on my shoulders as I tried to climb in the window
shove me back out. i fell into the courtyard and was very lucky that i didn't get hurt on all the rebar and broken glass. That was the last time I
went inside. I've felt something breathing down my neck, seen things out of the corner of my eye, heard strange sounds and voices. Once I could
have sworn i saw someone hanging from the auditorum ceiling through the window but when I got there it was gone.
Just thought i'd share.
