I don’t belive any of this nonsense! All of this is fake there was never no Metz Elementary or anything like this now who in here believes this BULLSHIT?

I don’t belive any of this nonsense! All of this is fake there was never no Metz Elementary or anything like this now who belives this?

CRISTAL your such a LOSER and LIAR oh and ignorant, I guess you didn’t read the info right well let me tell you that “Metz Elemantary” was DEMOLISHED in 1990! Maybe you don’t know what it means; it means taking apart doesn’t exist!

Doesn’t any one visit this website anymore or why hasn’t anyone replied to my comments?

hmmm…. interesting… there is your commment… happy

daniella and cristal said they went to tat school but is is demoisned the building is nomore so i think there lieing. so at it i agree with crsytal

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

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.

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!

hey what is the adress of this school i need to know a.s.a.p.!!!!!!! its important

??

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.

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.

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.

that story is true i live on the east side of austin me and my friends went to that school we always saw really weird stuff there it was creepy so i told my mom 2 change schools

look i went to metz for 5 years in a row iam 29 now and i never saw any like that i only heard the stories but never saw anything and i been leaving here for 18years

yes it is….

im looking this school up on the internet!
by da way cristal waz up? scary experience!!!

This is true.

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?!

*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

dude i think ya’ll all need mental help, hooked on phonics and maybe a gOOD BANG. IF U WANT TO KNOW IF THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED GO OVER THERE AND FIND OUT. GEEZ thats all you have to do. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well thats intresting XP XD……. i need to go there some time

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.

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!!

I lived in Texas I believe in the ghost stories because I used to live in a haunted house in Harleton and in Austin but harleton was my home town it changed alot and who ever don’t belive in this **** thats your problem not ours.

well i went to this skool and i alwayz thought it was a fake but when i saw alil girl in the girls restroom just past em by it totally freaked em out …and thats damn skool is scary…

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.

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.

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.

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.

i went to that school but then moved becase something fell on me when no one was around and i broke my arm and i still have the scar from the desk

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.

Hey i would like to know where this school is located.

I went there after they tore down the old school and rebuilt the new bigger metz. 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)

hey im from Victoria and my third grade teacher been to Metz school before.She said that one of the teachers heard children in the halls but there was nobody there.So i do believe that there are ghost at Metz school. p.s you don’t have to say bad things about other pepole how would you like that if somone did that to you?

MY DAUGHTER GOES TO SCHOOL AT SANCHEZ ELEMENTARY ABOUT 3 OR 4 BLOCKS FROMT THAT SCHOOL. SO JUST LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT DOES EXIST.
THANKS

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:

http://www.austinisd.org/schools/details.phtml?id=084&opt=about

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

Whoa, this is pretty interesting! I agree, there are way too many “fakes” out there.

cristal.
dun dun dun….

cr!st@l.

dun dun dun…

What’s really scarey about this story are the comments. It appears that proper English and grammar are the real victims of the Austin school system. What a nightmare to see such illiteracy.

for all those skeptics out there, check this out

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.

where’s the picture of this place homie….get on some real ****….show some pictures b!!!!

yes its haunted my step brother’s grandfather knocked it down the company is called Torres Trucking dont belive call them and the school was also on a tv show called Haunted Lives.

http://www.tv.com/haunted-lives/ghosts-r-us-the-legend-of-kate-morgan-school-spirit/episode/834766/summary.html

I went to that school and i never heard enything about the school being hunted.

P.S CRYSTAL IS STUPED!!!

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…

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.

For everyones information Metz Elementary does exist in Austin Texas…this is the address…

Metz Elementary School
84 Robert T. Martinez, Jr.
Austin, TX 78702

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

Hello,

I went to Metz Elementary as a child and never experienced any paranormal activities at the school. I loved the school dearly. Rosalinda, I would have been in the same classes as you – in Mrs. Kilmain’s class – I am wearing the purple shirt that says “I Love My Mommy” in the school year photo of 82/83. I have only half a picture of the auditorium/cafeteria side of the school. Please let me know, if you would like a copy, I have spoken with many of my former classmates from Metz and none of them have any photo’s.

Hey Jaime, this is your cousin, hope you are well. All my love, B

Rosalinda

For Rosalinda,

Thanks,
Barbara

I used to go to school there in the late 1980s.I lived 4 houses down from the school. I never experienced anything but I found that this old school gave me the creeps.There was rumors that a kid died falling from the 2nd story stairway. the downstair restrooms and audtorum were very creepy and the classrooms had these creepy backrooms that they used for storage. I visited the school 3 years ago was sad to see that it was replaced with a new one. Anyways no experiences but I think it was haunted.

The lady who went to Metz in the 60’s is right the whole neighborhood was creepy. I lived on Willow st 4 houses down from the school. Me and my mom used to hear foot steps on the hardwood floors in the middle of the night. One time I was playing kick the can with the neighbor kids at night and they had a driveway that went all the way to the back alley and my friend said that when she went to hide in the back that she say a little boy dressed in a suit. If that is true idk but thats what she said. And there was a fireshoot that was located in the back of the school the gym was also the cafateria the library was located upstairs,those restrooms downstairs were the creepiest I hated going in there. I was also upset to see that the pool and park that was down the street are no longer up and running. The neighborhood is a bad place then and now lots of crime and and break in. This shcool is real my father also attended it in the 1940’s. Go Metz Cobras

I live on the east side and have heard all the stories about Metz. My daughter told me a couple of years ago she took my granddaughter trick or treating they were walking past Metz she decided to stop and take pitcure with her digital camera. She told me that when took a look at it, there was a bright orb like light. I told her mabe it was a car light, she told me no there were no cars around when she took the pitcure. She got scared at left real fast.

This was actually featured on a show as a documentary about what happened at this school I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve heard alot of stories about this school I would of loved to experience this for myself.

I do believe that cu metz elem does exsist and on of my uncles use to work there years ago. he was one of te construction workers and he said he will never forget what happened. He also said that kids got killed in or by the walls . He would never go by the street were metz is . some people say they would see the merry go round thing would be turning and the kids would be playing . I heard that they had to have a tree blessed and removed from the grounds of metz elem cuz that is were the remains or the spirits would all gather,

Trust me folks, everything haunted about Metz Elementary is true. I am alma mater to this institution and I experienced several incidents there that will never be explained. The main reason is because the original structure was demolished and that’s where the “attic” existed. For those of you who also attended Metz, you know the attic that I’m writing about. Voices and movement in the attic was a common occurance but no one ever dared to walk up the stairs to darkness to find out what the cause was, not even janitorial staff. The attic was elevated very high into the “third floor” that didn’t even exist. It was a stairwell to nowhere. Looking at the building from the outside there were only two stories. No where in the architecture of this facility existed a third floor, but yet there was a stairwell that extened upwards into darkness. Several of us tried climbing up those steps, even the bravest(the cool fonz type guys) and no one could make it past 3 or 4 steps, because you got enveloped by darkness and cold and you would immediately turn and run back down. Take it from me people, this once grand old school, was and still maybe, home to a legacy of frieght and the unexplained. -Tony, class of 1975.

i saw this on unsolved mysteries a long time ago and have been searching for it forever… does anyone know the episode name or where i can watch this? best episode ever

To Cristal. Sweetie, stay in school and practice the art of grammar and spelling. I would advise before and after school tutoring as well. Speak English. Proper English. God bless you and I’m sorry your school is so scary – wait until you get to Physics!

I was born and raised in Austin and lived there for 25 yrs and remember my dad telling me about Metz. He even took us there to see it when it was only half way demolished because of the phenomenons happening there. But I will not dare to go back there again unless it’s during the day and I am distant from it. You can believe it or not but I know what I saw when i was younger.

Hey Amanda…what did you see? Drop me line at steviestrat1956@yahoo.com
What year did you go to school there?

Greetings from a fellow Metz Elementary student. M-E-T-Z metz is the best…I too, grew up in East Austin and went to old Metz Elementary before the new one was built. I never experienced anything out of the ordinary but I did hear stories about Metz by those who lived in homes surrounding the school and I remember the episode of Unsolved Mysteries too. I was one of those “brave” kids who attempted to walk up to the “third” floor, but didn’t make it that far. I never understood where that staircase led to because from the outside it only looked as if the old Metz only had two stories. We were the neighborhood kids who used the fire escape as a super slide or the field to play baseball or kickball on the weekends. Was the old Metz school haunted? I guess it is yet to be determined. Thanks Barbara for the link.

this school does exsist still i pass by it everyday. they tried to demolish it but they just rebuilt it. the school is located at 84 Robert T. Martinez, Jr.
Austin, TX 78702

I attened METZ before the new school was built. And I remember being so spooked out when I had to go to the bathroom down stairs. The voice of a little girl laughling and one of the doors closing by itself scared the **** out of me. Its something I will never forget. I recently had to go back to that school for a meeting for my son. He does not attend there. But going back to that school 20 odd years later. Still feels haunted! I have to admit the bathroom still looks and feels the same some parts have been remodeled. But the school is creppy.

Hi Deanna, what year did you go there? Write me…steviestrat1956@yahoo.com

TO CRYSTAL.
METZ DOES EXIST,ITS IN THE EASTSIDE OF AUSTIN,TX. I SHOULD KNOW I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

Wow, I volunteer at this school two times a week and had no idea it is haunted. I’m going to ask the teachers if they have seen any things in the new building, and I think next time, I’m going to go to the bathroom to see if its as creepy as everyone says it is.

The teachers there told me that there are definitely ghost but its not scary cause they are just children.
They told me that if they stay late, they can hear children playing in the hall. Also, the cleaning lady told me about a trail of footprints of a baby (or at least very tiny) that led to a staircase but the weird part was that it was only one foot and not both feet making the trail. And another teacher also told me about a footprint from a baby (also just one foot) in her classroom.
And the cleaning lady also told me that one time when she was vacuuming after school, a little girl walked into the room wearing a bonnet and a white dress. She told the little girl, “Mija, what are you doing here. You missed your bus” but the girl just stood by her. Then the girl ran under a teacher’s desk and disappeared.
I don’t care what you believe but I definitely believe it coming from the teachers that work there everyday. And they said that the ghost activities happen more around Halloween, I guess because of the day of the dead.

Hello,
I went to the “old” Metz but honestly was only in pre-k-1st grade. I do remember all my teachers Mrs. Castanon, Mrs. Ramirez, and Mrs. Hart. I don’t remember the old Metz much I can only remember the hallways of the classrooms I needed to go to. And honestly don’t ever having a weird experience. While the new Metz was being built we went to some school called Webb. Anyway I returned back to Metz, and that’s when weird things started happening…Yvonne I think I know u (torrez?)…anyway I had the same experience of the water turning on and the toilet flushing on its own. But that just happened once. But there was several times when I would walk down the hallways by myself and I would get chills or a feeling like someone was watching me. I never saw an actual figure but did see things move. Its weird I never experienced anything at the old Metz…just at the new Metz.

…by the way I went all throught the 6th grade(Mrs. Ogle) at Metz. I loved it I just didn’t like being alone. I have so many good memories from there…so its not as bad as they make it seem…plus all my siblings finished school there as well. Anyway Tony what year(s) did u go to Metz?

Hi Jessica, I went to Metz from ‘70-’75, yes I’m old school! But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I went from ‘87-93…

I attended school at metz around 1962. My brother Charles and sisters all attended thier too.
I hold fond memories of that school sometimes I awaken from a nightmare
That Im there at that cold school and cant get out.
Many paranormal activities happend. My first grade teacher was Ms. Dingler
I also had a student teacher named Ms zigler.
I had blonde hair and green eyes, and didnt know much spanish but I made many friends.
I learned to speak spanish at Metz school.
At night our big house located across the street on the next block was eerie.
I hated nighttime to come.
Iv seen anyone from confederate soldiers to children laughing, and disapearing.
My other teachers names were Ms. Mole, Ms granthym and Ms. allen for six grade I had Mr Ybarra. Ms Giles worked in the library. Coach Cannel was our Pe instructor.
I remember all of them like yesterday.
But every night nearly we were awakened from freight, Many times people were trying to break in or we would be awakened to horror Like someone pulling up the window where I slept and no one being there.
Today I will not sleep by a window at night.
Im glad We sold that house after the sixth grade, and moved to North Austin.
Here is a peem I would like to share with you that was written by our sixth grade class with Mr Ybarra as teacher.

well I was tired of being a fool so one day I joined Metz school
Where girls and boys they, work and play from September through May
Uhuh they do we work and play all day
uh huh we do from Sept through May
teachers of grades one two and three they work with you and me
When they cant teach us anymore they send us to grade four
uh huh they do so we can learn some more
Uh huh they do they send us to grade four
After grade four than comes five and if you still survive
we learn more English, Science and Math or else they send us back
uh huh they will, we have to learn our math
uh huh we will or else they send us back
after grade five sixth grade remains and if we still have brains
we will wonder why we started Metz school and call ourselves a fool.

Ok, so my friends and I were talking about some things that have happened to us in the course of time, and they came up with something to happened to them regarding this school. This is what they told me, and I would like to find out more about this school. They were telling me that they had heard that this school was haunted, so they decided to go to this school, which they clearly stated the intersecting streets. They told me that the windows seemed a little fogged up, and they were going around it in their car. They soon came up to what it seemed to be a dimmed blue light inside this room. They looked around from the outside of course, since they are a bunch of girls, (scared) and one of them saw this arm, like it was holding something. She screamed, and they left. They talked about it for a while, and decided to go back. Don’t ask me why or how they came up with going back, but they did. So again, they saw the dim blue light, and the four of them, which were 3 girls and a guy, saw the arm in the room. Looked like a construction workers arm, like he has holding something, or pushing something back. So they left, and got on the internet, trying to figure out what was going on with that school. They found out, that there was a worker that had died in that school, where a wall had fallen on top of him. So looks like that day, they saw that worker. I’ve been trying to go there, but not alone, reason being that i’ve had things happen to me as well. But of course, you always have that adrenaline pumping in you, bringing you back to those things. Looks like everytime people see ghost, it’s pretty much they are re-living what was once before.

ok a em intresting in metz school

I remember when my moms freind moved, we visited her during the holidays. When we got to the house I noticed a building in front of her house being demolished. my moms freind told me that it was an old school being torn down. i could see the classrooms in ruin. inside i could see the chalkboards. i was so scared when she told me that the construction guys could see when the chalkbooard would mysteriously start having messages on them. i was so scared to even look at the building.

HEY I USE TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL ……

AND ALL THAT **** IZ TRUE

i live in Austin and went to Zavala elementary i used to hear rumors about it being haunted but i guess some rumors are true

I was just swapping ghost stories with my girlfriend and wanted to prove to her that Metz was a real place , and stumbled on to your site . To start I was a security guard for a company called ” Longhorn ” in 1990 . We were rsponsible for the overnite security of the site . Let me tell you that I was not a true believer in the paranormal before I was stationed at this school . Let me point out this school was not in the greatest of neighborhoods , so I took my gun , which I did not need because no one in the neighborhood would even walk on the same side of the street as the school . Also , the whole time I was there I could here these kids laughing and playing . This would have seemed appropriate and normal , had it not been pitch black dark out , and if I had accually seen some kids . Even so it wasn’ t until I was relaying this story to someone else that I realized that the whole time I was looking for proof of ghost , I had already been exposed to them . Metz is a place that made the hair stand on my neck.

Wow! I went to Metz from Pre-k(Ms.Milam) to 4th grade(Ms.Krebs) and this story is true..You dont go to the Restroom on Friday the 13th because the lights turn On and Off..My cousin once said that they were passing by and they saw Wrting on the windows leading up to the Cafeteria line in blood..I cant justify that but thats what they said..But i kno this story is true…

I went there from 2-5th grade. One day in gym someone said they saw a figure on the blue mats on the wall. I creeps me out when I pass it thinking i am going to see something by the cafeteria where you wait behind the stage. I heard it was by the wall that feel on man was where the basketball thing where the us map is.

wow people diz days are stupid i do believe dat and who ever doesnt believe why dont you all go visit those places den you all wouldnt be talking

Hey Judy appreciate the thanks. Don’t know if your family or the school hired us but the night at Metz was my last night with Longhorn security. Sorry I did not finish the night,but I have never been so scared in my life.

i used to go to metz. back when it was the old school and the new one. when they tore down the school back it 1990. shorty after when the new school was built i was there after helping a techer set up. we heard kids in the hallway but when we went outside the wasnt no one. till today i dont know what we heard…

I lived in that are for most of my life. When I was young in elementary Metz was a small school all the stories that you hear of the machines and a man dying and the children being heard are true. They were remodeling the old school so that it was nicer and larger. When I did attend the school never had we heard such things but when they decided to knock it all down thats when everything started happening. I watched the progress because I lived right down the steet from the school. Everything that happened there was real but as for what goes on now I couldn’t tell you although I do vouch for the construction having to be put on hold because the workers were scared and that the machines were not working, and of course the man who died when a wall fell on him.

YEPP IT’S A REAL SCHOOL I WENT THERE FROM KINDERGARTEN TILL 6TH GRADE AND IT’S SPOOKY ALRIGHT! MY CUZ AND I DARED EACH OTHER TO SPEND THE NIGHT ON THE ROOF TOP WE DID IT AND WE NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING .BUT WE USED TO ALWAYS SEE THE COMPUTERS TURN ON AT NIGHT FROM MY FRIENDS WHO LIVED ACROSS THE STREET ON CANTERBERRY ST.THAT WAS SPOOKY .SO I’M TRYING TO FIND THE UNSOLVED MYSTER SHOW AND CANT FIND IT DOES ANY ONE HAVE THE LINK ???? I’D LIKE TO SEE IT ,IT’S BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE SEEN IT .

Metz is not haunted. I taught there for many years. It is a wonderful place. The kids love the excitement around Halloween and Dia de los Muertes and they tend to exaggerate quite a bit.

Well nunya…maybe you can tell me how a staircase went up into complete darkness to a third story, in a two story building. Any reasonable explanation on that?
