First of all, all of my children have attended this school. And yes the fire was the year after the home was closed, but I went out there last night to see if there is anything to this story. Well I did not hear animals or children screaming or anything else for that matter. So this one is busted ! ! ! lol…Not true just a story someone made up to try and scare people

As I said Jennifer parts if it is and Urban Myth a GOOD one but just that an Urban Myth….However that doesn’t mean that people havent seen NOR heard the things they claim they did…Spirits DO NOT perform on command and Just because you didnt have a personal experience doesn’t mean they dont exist…I happen to know they DO…

An intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction!

So with that said, I will be moving in the opposite direction from the ones that are not intelligent at all. You will see no more comments after this from me on here. Just one thing before I go. Some people need to go back to school and learn the English language a little better!

LJ,
Please dont let someones lack of intelligence keep you from posting here…I overlook ignorance and move ahead …we are the bigger people…. you are most welcome to post in our forum….I believe you have the websight address…moving on…I believe you when you say you have experienced things there… I would love to hear about it sometime…please visit our websight and tell us about your experiences…

Well i used to go to East Lazt year until i’ve Moved many people have told me many stories about East in Which I dont Really Believe My Social Studies teacher told me that the Orphanage was closed down a year before it had gotton on fire….so there is no possabillity that 3 kids could have been burned there :]

Facts about the Elhanan Orphanage are in an old newspaper from 1927 in Marion. The Orphanage was set afire a year earlier and the woman who ran Elhahan Orphanage was Mattie Perry>The first Female Preacher in Marion. The Leaders in Marion did not like how Miss Perry really could pray to God and Her Prayers WERE answered! Anyway The Orphanage was set on fire, the first time there were no injuries. But Miss Perry had no choice but to close down the orphanage. She found homes for most of the children,except for a few. They continued to stay there with two caretakers and Miss. Perry. While Miss Perry went on a trip, the orphanage was set afire again, this time, all in the old building burned. CHILDREN WERE KILLED THERE BY THE FIRE! iF ANYONE DIGS DEEP INTO mARIONS HISTORY YOU CAN FIND THE truth FOR YOURSELF! And can even see who had the most anger against Miss Perry! Guess you can say that back then in the early twenties in Marion N>C> Certain MEN really did own thw town and they did everything they wanted to get what they wanted! Even Murder!

Ok heres the thing, I go to EMJH and is in the 7th grade. In science class our teacher told us that the old librarian, (Mr. Carter or Mr. Carver dont remember) and she said she hung himself in the teachers lounge which used to be the library. And she told us that the orphanage did burn down on our tennis court but no “paranormal activity” occurs in our hallways I can assure you, but both of those stories are true.
