NO ONE DIED IN THE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the orphange closed ONE WHOLE YEAR before it caught on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes THERE WERE CHILDREN AND ADULTS KILLED IN THAT FIRE! THE PROOF IS WITH A GENTLEMAN WHO WEAS THERE AND SAW IT HAPPEN! if you want to hear his story, e mail me and I will get you inntouch with him! He will tell you how he heard the cries of the children as he was helping hose down his fathers house as a child so the fire would not hit their house! Too bad marion NC still has hangups about the truth of her history! Marion NC still dont want anymore dirty history to be published. I checked out his story and have proof what really occured and why! Its all tied up with the cotton mills being brought into the area at the time, and the fact that MARION nc DID NOT WANT A female preacher STANDING UP AGAINST ALL THE WRONG DOINGS GOING ON AT THAT TIME!

YES THEY DID! I have Proof! Too bad Marion NC still covers up the uglyness it took for Marion to “GROW”!

Looks like Marion NC still continues today hiding the horrible evidence of her history! I Have Proof what happened!I discovered all of Marions little secrets, that was suppose to stay hidden with the past!

tHE NEWSPAPERS OF THAT TIME, the McDowell Democrat tells of the event of the fire! I have those papers and also I personally know an eye witness to the fire, he saw it as a child! Still dont beleive it? contact me, Ill prove it to anyone who wants to know!

the proof is in the history of Marion nc! I have it ALL!

Apparently there are those who are too lazy to look into the history where you will find the facts!

Yes, You are correct! But you dont realize that there was no where for the children who were not adopted to go, so the care takers stayed there where the elhanan did not burn with the children! Mattie Perry moved to Myrtle Beach to continue her CHURCH BECAUSE MARION WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO STAY HERE! tHE ORPHANAGE WAS BURN DOWN ON PURPOSE!

A LOT YOU KNOW1 I GUESS YOU FAILED HISTORY IN SCHOO DIDNT YOU?

nobody died in the fire&& i would love to know who said they heard kids screaming cause there was nobody in there when it burnt down!!

the mans name is Frank Hunt in Marion nc. his father was the superintendant of Marion manufacturing cotton mill! He knows all the history about the Haunted history of marion nc

elizabeth! I am so sorry that I got carried away with this story! Ever since I heard about it I had to prove where the story came from in the first place! YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THERE ARE thatNO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS! BUT THERE ARE VERY REAL AND TRUE DEMON SPIRITS THAT MANISTATE INTO WHERE EVIL HAS BEEN COMMITTED!Physical locations that have a HISTORY of violence are believed to be magnets for malevolent spirits a concept similar to that of haunted houses! the one thing I want to get across about the “Haunting’ AT eAST jR hIGH IS THIS, IN 1927 MARIONS LEADERS WANTED THE ONLY FEMALE PREACHER OUT OF mARION! sHE STOOD UP TO ALL THE EVIL THAT WAS GOING ON IN mARION1 sO MARIONS LEADERS GOT RID OF THE ORPHANAGE AND THE FEMALE PREACHER. mattie PERRY WAS ON VACATION WHEN THE SECOND FIRE OCCURED AND THE FEW LAST OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR CARE TAKERS WERE BURNED ALIVE IN THAT FIRE! fRANK hUNT OF mARION NC TOLD ME THAT INFORMATION AND AS i SEARCHED OUT THE HISTORY OF MARION NC IT PROVES THAT PEOPLE DID DIE IN THAT FIRE! iM A CHRISTIAN AND i DO not lIE! my email is tpthompson1961@yahoo.com if you want to really talk about it!

Thompson,

It’s people like you that give ghost-believers and Christians a bad name. Maybe if you can type with even bigger capital letters and with worse grammar and spread even more unsubstantiated rumors and flood this forum with with even more posts, people will listen.

No, maybe not.

This story needs to say that it has been debunked. That it is nothing more than a tale.

I went to this school and that is what drew my attention to it about a year ago. The whole story was debunked shortly before that.

b.s.

okay you guys really need to chill. its just a story&& if you want to believe it than okay. but you don’t need to get all hung up over it. it doesn’t matter if its true or not. i go to that school now&& ave never had any experiences with a ghost or haunting.

i might not go to that shcool but i did go there and after what i saw I DONT BELIEVE IT people who make this stuff up go to hell and stay there ( but if it is true i hope your lives go up to heven with the animals) everyone else goto hell witch is home AND stay there!!!!!

ill be at east this year..im not scared…they say alot of stuff bout east..like a teacher 1 yr stood at the top of the buildin jumped off commited suicide…a woman fell off the stairs in the library…ehhh i dnt belive in ghosts

8th grader at east hun. and this bull. They say that stuff to scare you as 7th graders there right it closed before the fire. and mrs blankenzhip tes you the story about the library thing to make you use it more.

I think this is ridiculous. I live in Marion, NC. & Me and my friend Xavier are going to go see if it is really haunted..haha. We aren’t scurred. lol.
