I myself have been in school 4 many times even before the auditorium roof caved in I've been down in the boiler room which can be reached threw a hole in the floor in one of the class rooms in my opinion it is very much haunted but the stories of a crazed janitor or the cannibal principle are sadly untrue there was a fire there but it was started by bums in the early 90's //what ever haunts the place is not a product of the building being a former school it is probably because of something that went on since its abandonment in the 70's

you obviously dont research to well the school wasnt even built until 1917 and it caught fire in the 90's it was closed as a school because of the building of I-95 so they used it for administrations until it closed in the 70's so get your facts straight before you post.and as far as it being haunted unless you've been there to witness it dont comment on it

I was just there last night after driving by the place for years. A few of my friends had been there before, so we decided to go back with a ton of
photo equipment (lol) and take some snaps. We ended up photographing nothing but the auditorium because it was just so awe inspiring.
I shot primarily large format film, so none of those photos will be up until I sit down and develop 'em, but I'll share one of my favorite digital shots.
You can clearly see where the roof had collapsed and how vegetation has just taken over. The place was just covered in graffiti, but other than that, there really weren't any signs of any serious crime. No pointless destruction, no drug paraphernalia, just scattered beer bottles and spray paint cans.
I was really amazed at just how structurally sound (at least to me, and I'm no engineer, but do have some construction experience) the place was, and thought it would take relatively little to restore it to a functioning building.
Okay, the haunted stuff that everyone has been talking about. Not once did any of us ever feel anything out of the ordinary- in fact, to me there was a feeling of quiet peace in there. The open sky over the auditorium with the vegetation growing up through it just made us all realize how powerful nature is and how it can just reclaim anything.
We fully explored the basement (didn't take any cameras with us since they were just too bulky and bloody expensive, but next time. . . ) and reached the boiler room. The boiler equipment is still in place, and the room still has a faint lingering odor of kerosene. Lots of graffiti down there- references to "hell" and "Satan" and arrows with the word "beware" next to them, but nothing that would ever indicate the presence of ACTUAL shenanigans going on down there. Just a dark, creepy, but amazingly intact crawlspace. At the northern end of the crawlspace, you could easily walk upright, but as you walked towards the south side, crouching became necessary. This is most likely because the structure was built on what looks to be a large pier foundation and the ground was never totally leveled during construction- the building was just built up above the natural slope of the land. Pretty interesting.
We're planning on making a return visit sometime soon and during the day (we were there from midnight until about 4 AM, so it was dark as hell and not all that awesome for the kind of photography we do) and we'll produce a much better record of the other sections of the building and the basements.
Oh, and around 2:30 AM we started smelling coffee and donuts. . . ?

That's not even possible. The building didn't catch fire until 1995- 35 years after the school had closed.
I've been researching the place for the past few days- there's absolutely nothing to substantiate it being haunted. Nothing at all.
