Real Haunted House
East McDowell Jr. High
Presently the site of East McDowell Jr. High, an orphanage once stood on these grounds. One night, the orphanage was set ablaze. Everyone escaped safely, but six small children returned to the inferno to save their pets. Only three of the six survived. It is said that if one stands on the tennis courts of the school around midnight, the screeching of burning animals and children may be heard.

I heard the story a long time ago but I think you all need to research it further. The old Jr. High is where the recreation center is now..some of the original building still stands..the gym part.I heard this story a long time ago when my mother told me about the fire. She said for years after it was known as El hanen..s.p. meaning the haunted..she told me this story in 1970`s when I attended the Jr high beforeeast McDowell jr high was built.

I just think it is too funny that yall believe **** like this claiming to be “ghost hunters” and little 7th graders who cant spell at all. LOL have a nice life yall!

This rumor is true. This paranormal chick came to my school last friday orsomething to the dance and i was up in mr.truesdells class with my two friends and she kept takin pictures of the walls and she got some stuff and she was sayin “show yourself” and the recorder got a fuzzy tone saying ” i am nobody” and it really freaked us out. As for the copy room ghost that is true one of the girls that go to my school took a picture in there when we were doing the haunted tour and she got a big shadow figure.

My mom is currently the night custodian at east mcdowell jr high…she ignores most of the haunted hype but she has pictures of feet prints in the hall ways, voice recordings, and pics of black masses…she says she sees scary stuff but does her best to ignore it!
