Metz Elementary School
When this school was demolished in 1990 there were numerous reports of strange occurrences. It is said the bulldozers would stop working just as they reached the century old building. Constantly, workers fell from ladders and tools disappeared. Workers also began reporting children’s writings on the blackboards and ghosts in the restrooms. Things got so bad that an exorcism was performed. Shortly afterwards, a wall inexplicably fell and killed a worker. Today there are still reports of restless child-ghosts at the site.
HEY I USED TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL WHEN I WAS IN THE 5TH GRADE….ITS SCARY AS HELL…. GHOSTS ARE THERE FASHO!!!

My friend and I attended Metz, and had never heard about anything like that until we decided to visit it on Halloween morning at 3am, we experience things out of this world my friend died in the action. I have kept this a secret for 6yrsacecliop. When her body was found they found only her eyes, it were her eyes b/c of the DNA. I am just now talking about this b/c i just got of a rehab center in weatherford. nobody now believes me b/c it sounds so fake but

Comment by ur nightmare jks shirley wat u think | 05.24.2006 | 6:55 pm
Actually Metz is a real school. Im 26 years old and I have lived in austin texas all of my life. Its in the east side of austin, Its on robert t martinez jr street. I have heard all of the stories and my friend went there when she was younger and also said that same things that alot of these people say on their comments. I do believe in that and it was demolished but rebuilt. I pass by there everyday on my way to drop my daughter off at school. I believe there are ghosts and as long as they dont bother me then I have no problems with them. Well all be there one day….
Thanks
Isabel
Comment by ISABEL | 05.24.2006 | 6:57 pm
I grew up in austin and moved away at 32,both my parents grew up in east austin and it seems my aunts and uncles all agree that there was definitly something there. I only drove by it once before demolition and I got the same uneasy felling in the pit on my stomach. I found out about the school only after this happen to me.
Comment by louis | 06.1.2006 | 12:49 am
This Crystal chick is ignorant because Metz is not fake…if you don’t know the facts then shut up and keep your 2 cents to your self… oh yeah and learn how to spell correctly. I live right down the street from METZ..The old one was torn down and they remodeled it and made a brand new one. The bricks that fell down for no apparent reason happened to fall on a family friend. It was all over the news for a good while about all the sightings and what was being heard. It’s true, so like I said before shut the hell up youngsta!

I have lived in Austin for 16 years-which means all my life. I have NEVER heard this story. And I’m interested in all these ghost stories in stuff, but I never believe them. I only watch these shows because I like learning the history of these places. I’m a nerd, but I don’t care.
Comment by Izzy | 07.20.2006 | 10:53 am
I just happend to find this site when I done a search on the web to read about Metz elementary school.People this school does exsist and I know for sure something went on during reconstuction in that school in the early 90″S AT the time I worked in a convenience store and started talking to some workers that went to my store in the morning before going
to work at that location They said work was slow as workers constantly quit the jobbecause of strange goings
on.By the way the wall never fell down it EXPLODED for no reason at all after a worker took his hammer to a wall to tear down sheet rock.Due to his death a investigation could not determine ANY CAUSE.It was said at first it was natural gas methane gas so on. This was an attempt to cover it up with an explanation for insurance purposes WHY? well because they couldnt find any reason for it This people is the real story.
Comment by Ed Goodwin | 07.21.2006 | 2:16 am
By the way I noticed all the comments by little Crystal I cant spell better than her but Crystal get your facts straight before you post on the web Metz does exsist It is part of austin school district If you dont believe me go to the web site get the phone number that is listed call the school to find out. Better yet if you live in Austin you can find it on 84 Robert T Martinez street.Even better you might get to speak to one of the workers first hand like I did.
Comment by Ed Goodwin | 07.21.2006 | 2:39 am

This is true.
Comment by Me | 09.11.2006 | 11:22 pm
Okay I live on the east side of Austin, Metz is a real school and it is still standing. Its located at 84 Robert T Martinez Jr St/Austin, TX 78702. Now for all of you who are guessing its haunted for this or that reason. Back in the 80’s unsolved mysteries and 48hrs did a series on hauntings and good ol’ATX made the cut. The history behind it has nothing to do with a kid killing themselves the episode was about how you can hear native indians chanting or walking down this long corridor that leads from one side of the school to the other. I am sure you can google it. Now I have never been to the school because I decided not to tempt whatever is there, if there is something. who knows?!
Comment by Kris | 10.6.2006 | 12:29 pm
*looks around confused* Okay what crystal the one with the story or the who talked about crystel with the story? Any ways i think somthing thats i weird is that every one seems to be p.m.s.’ing there always angrey and edgey? What is up with thta? See looke at you guys. nOt saying any thing is wrong ith that so dont hurt me. But i find this stuff interesting. ANd i wuld love to hear from those who know the real story and have had expeinces if it wont be much trouble. Thank you
Comment by Raven | 10.6.2006 | 11:37 pm

That is all true because I went to that school and I hears kids crying and scraching the black board and also talking to each other and the more you went in the colder it got and scarier it also got.Their is also a hospital that I was born that is now haunted and whom ever goes in they end up getting out crying from being scared.

ok so for all yall dumb people who dont think this school is real and haunted yall are dumb. I lived right down the street on canterbury, and i went to that school when i was in pre-k all the way to 6th grade. If yall ever visit metz go to the gym and turn only one light on and towards the back on a yellow matt it will look like theres a body just hanging form the back board. And go to the restrooom down towards the right and go to the corner and sit there with lights off youll feel a real cold *** breeze!! I know i freaking expirenced this no lie go try it!!! And for yall who think you know shut the hell up stupid immature idiots!!

Comment by Crystal | 10.29.2006 | 11:09 am
My name is Judy Torres ( Torres Trucking & Excavating & Demolition) Our family was responsible for the excavation and demolition of Metz Elemantary. It is very hard to read comments that state the events that happened are not true. During the time of the demolition, we encountered children laughing and writing on the chalkboard and yes, their was an exorcisim performed on site. We also lost an employee because of the events.
We did demolish the entire school. Since then it has been rebulit and is once again operating as Metz Elementary. Their are reports that the hauntings are still happening at the new school. I would like to respond to all the comments. I have notified my siblings so that they can help me in responding to the comments. Our Father, Joe Torres recently passed away but since this is a family business most of us were their when the events happened and would be glad to answer as many questions as possible.
Comment by JudyTorres- Torres Trucking and Excavating | 10.29.2006 | 4:45 pm
Hello, Judy Torres again. I found a site called, whatwasthen, it has information about the school including history and the story about the demolition. Go check it out before you decide on whether or not the hauntings exist.
Comment by JudyTorres- Torres Trucking and Excavating | 10.29.2006 | 5:04 pm
WELL I KNOW THIS STORY IS VERY REAL THE REASON THAT I KNOW THAT FOR ONE IS BECAUSE I USE TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL AND FOR TWO MY LATE GRANDFATHER JOE TORRES WHO OWNED TORRES TRUCKING IS THE ONE WHO TORE DOWN THE SCHOOL.THEY HAD MANY EXPERIENCE’S THERE.MY GRANDFATHER LOST NOT ONLY WAS HE A CO-WORKER BUT A GOOD FRIEND WHILE DOING THE JOB THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION TO HOW OR WHY IT HAPPEN.MY UNCLES WERE ALSO WORKING WITH HIM AND THEY ALL HAD THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE’S.THIS JOB FOR MY GRAND FATHER WAS A VERY SCARY JOB BUT HE ALWAYS SAID THAT NO MATTER WHAT THERE WAS NOT A JOB HE COULDNT FINISH.IT IS TRUE ABOUT THE MACHINES AND ALL THE TRUCKS TURNING OFF AND THE LATTER SKAKE-N AND THE MESSAGES ON THE SHALK BOARDS AND THE KIDS THEY SAW.THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS THAT HAPPEN. I REALLY DONT RECALL THE EXORCISM BUT I KNOW THEY HAD A EXPERT GO THERE AND SHE SAID THAT THOSE WERE NOT EVIL SPIRITS THEY JUST WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE HER NAME WAS ELAINE IRELAND (PARAPSYCHOLOGY).I KNOW THERE IS A NEW SCHOOL WICH WAS REBUILT OVER THE OLD ONE IS STILL NAMED METZ AND I HEAR THERE IS STILL A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON THERE WHICH REALY DOES NOT SUPRISE ME.BUT FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IT I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I GUESS YOU WOULDN’T UNLESS YOU WERE THERE OR WENT TO THAT SCHOOL.
Comment by IRIS | 10.29.2006 | 5:54 pm
It really amazes me that for those who say that they went to school period who’ve posted some of these comments, it sure doesn’t show.
To those involved, or affected by the tragedy, my heart and condolences go out to you and the families, and those who call them liars, have a heart, put your opinion aside, and give respect. Grow up Crystal.
Comment by Big T | 10.30.2006 | 4:54 pm

Comment by sure | 12.10.2006 | 5:38 pm
Yes, it is true about Metz Elementary. There were several news stories published about it in the Austin American-Statesman newspaper in the early 90’s, when the original building was torn down and replaced by a new one. Please refer to the Statesman’s archived articles on their web site.

I always had bad feelings going to the restroom by myself, i always felt like someone was in there with me. to all who want to know where it is, its in Austin, Tx on the east side (on robert t. martinez and willow)

Comment by ISABEL | 08.6.2007 | 5:34 pm
Anyone that says that Metz Elementary doesn’t exist or that it was never torn down is a f**king moron. I have lived in Austin almost all my life and I remember when this happened. The death of the worker was on the local news as well as in the Austin American Statesman (newspaper).
The original Metz Elementary was demolished in 1990 and the new Metz Elementary was constructed in 1991-1992 on the same site where the original buildings stood. If still need proof of this, You can find the new schools listing on the Austin Independent School District’s website:

The is a ton of BS stories on the internet but I can assure you that this one is very real.

Comment by jessicaivelisse | 10.29.2007 | 1:16 pm
Well, I went to the old school before it was torn down and played on the old fire shoot. I never knew about it being haunted but I do have a very wierd memory in about the 2nd grade a little girl that I never saw again was motioning for me to go up into a storage closet that was never open. I still remember how awkward it was that she was telling me to come into that room she was dressed in a plaid dress and seemed nice but I did not know her. Well I did not follow her and told some of my other cousins who went to metz about it. We never saw her again but I can tell you that it is still with me till today how eerie it was. Yes it is true about the person dying when the place was being demolished and the people who were telling the story are well known and are not the type to play around like that. They are a family owned business anyways if you look up the news in the early 90’s you will get true testimonies of news reports of the incidents and work delays. Real place, I am not sure about all the hype and some people may add things but I know that a lot of my family have strange stories from the old building and there was generations and generations of my family who attended this school even now our younger generation still attends the new metz. Anyways just wanted to share a bit of my experience. My kids have attended this school and my daughter had the bathroom doors locked on her and the sink turn on she is still spooked out by that memory. Well I don’t belive in ghost but have seen some things that I do not understand. Thanks for reading my comment.

Comment by shady | 02.25.2008 | 9:26 pm
I also attended Metz first in kinder…and then 5th and 6th grade….I lived 2 blocks west of the school…I was very upset to hear that they were bulldozing it…Its funny cause i can still smell the school…i can still picture its layout in my head….and to be honest i have never loved any other place as i did Metz.. It holds countless of cherished memories for me…and im sure for many others…the whole haunted story is true…i wont get into it..but i know if you lived around that area..most of the elders would speak of it aswell….nonetheless the old Metz holds a very special place in my heart….
i would love to find a old picture of it…that is one reason i stumbled onto this site…if anyone has any info as to where i can obtain one it would be most appreciated…..and for anyone reading this i am 31 years old…my name is Rosalinda Rodriguez…..my kinder teacher was Mrs.Kilmain….and my 5th grade teather was Mr.Kirk…..i forget the rest…anyways…
Comment by Rosalinda | 03.11.2008 | 8:33 am
I attended metz school in the 1960s.
I lived at 2203 willow street
I had many tramatic episodes as a child.
One occassion My sister saw a girl dressed in a long dress and she disappeared before our eyes.
Swings on the playground would swing see saws were going up and down, The merry go round would swing all for no reason no breeze.
I could hear children laughing and even see them playing on the playgrounds and as i approached them They would disappear.
errie things happened on our street, Wreaks and break ins. Nights were so evil.
It wasnt just the school that was haunted it was the entire block.
Onced As i slept I saw a man in a red suite run at me and i closed my eyes and said jesus and as he picked me up he flung me across the floor the next day thier were huge hoof prints in our yard.
Another time I saw a latern around midnight swinging back and forth in the middle of Willow street and a man was chanting ” Now hear this Texas John Slaughter is now dead”. I dont know whim he was but he must have lived on Willow street.
i am sixtie years old and I could talk all night about the errieness of Willow street, im glad dad sold the house, and the Ghosts in 1969.

Comment by DM | 04.4.2008 | 9:48 pm
My mother has owned the house that sits right across the street from Metz Elementary School ( 2201 Willow St. )since the late 50’s. I attended the school and expereinced some paranormal events back then and Now. I remember when the construction worker got killed and hearing little kids laughing and playing across the street in the middle of the night as the school laid in rubble. The whole neighborhood used to play behind the school on the old fire escape ( slide ), the basketball courts ,on the football field, and the infamous playground. On the weekends when the school was closed we used to see children looking out the windows, of coarse this did’nt happen all the time but when it did that was enough to keep us from hanging out at the school when the sun went down. We also used to see the crazy events that happened at the playground. I also believe that my mother’s house is haunted. I recently moved back in with my mother to help care for her in her elderly age and once again started seeing ( and hearing ) some crazy #@%!. For example seeing shadows moving across the dining room floor and hearing children playing ( in the middle of the night ). I know I live in the Eastside ( and proud of it ) but hearing kids playing at 3 am? Believe it or not I really don’t care but this area seems to have a few souls still roaming around, weather it be the kids who attended Metz or the Native Indians who once camped here next to the Colorado River. Metz Elementary is located Less than Half a mile north of Lady bird lake, aka Town lake, aka The Colorado River
