Real Haunted House

Metz Elementary School

Austin, Texas

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 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 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.

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?

wow all this information is interesting!i believe i started going to metz in 1993 from pre-k to 6th grade and we always talked about the school being haunted and about hearing thing and seeing things mostly in the bathrooms and the classrooms. yes people would say they could hear children laughing and playing and bouncing balls. i remember our 6th grade year the 6th graders actually spent the night inside the school and went esploring the whole school for unusual events. yes alot of memories at that school. computers turning on an off by themselves, music playing inside locked classrooms,cold rushes, and i remember walking down the hallways by myself and i would sometimes hear footsteps coming behind me and their would be no one and its true when u pass by the school u get a wierd kinda strange feeling.i remember seeing the report they did on the school in unsolved mysteries. well haunted or not i miss metz i leave many spooky memories of my childhood in that school. i was wondering tho if anyone could tell me wwho was the worker that died while they were demoliting the old metz?

this is crazy people always saying hey i lived there i know this to be true but others sayin otherwise so why doesnt everyone just stop lying cause sure some paranormal activity exists, i believe that, however i honestly think that if an exorcism was done it would be in the papers and i highly doubt that there was anything in the paper talking about that. and the records of that wouldnt be lost yet seeing as it was as recent as 1990. anyways give me documented prove of paranormal activity and i’ll believe it
