Old Elerbe Road School
This former school was closed due to the disappearances of several people, one being a beloved janitor. When the children went to look for him, they too disappeared–one by one. All that remains is a building in which all the lockers have been knocked out; in their place is a mural of the grim reaper. At night, one may hear the screams of children and the sound of a school bell.

sorry but your facts are wrong about “satan school”. i researched the history of this school back in the mid 90’s and did many hunts out there, and the scariest thing was almost getting arrested. the school was never opened to students. in fact construction was never fully completed. there have been a few deaths out there back in the gang heydays and other assorted illegal activities that i’ve been able to verify, but 99% is just what you’d expect from a abandoned building with a urban legend drawing in kids looking for something to do.
my friends and i did our fair share of damage out there back in the old days. put up lots of grafitti and knocked all the blackboards out into the hallway down one wing. we even used it to test our homemade fireworks out there…
fun place for doing things you shouldnt, but its about as haunted as a mall bathroom.

Went out to the school last night just before the storm. Thunder was rolling across the sky. The wind was blowing through the trees and around the edges of the old building making a moaning sound that made you think of the cold wintry days to come. The rain started falling as we ran and stood under the cover. Out in the distance we could hear the lonely sounds of a cooing dove, calling to it’s fallen mate. As the wind picked up so did the rain. It began raining so hard the tree line became a blurry apparition. The sky was growing darker and we needed to get back to the truck but the lightning kept us at bay. All behind us the school began to awaken. Sounds of ghostly whispers floated into the rain as it called to the lost children that once laughed and played in it’s lap. The rain poured even harder and began to blow across the walk. It pushed us back to the edge of the wall where we didn’t want to be. A sudden bolt of lightning lit up the dusk dark sky and the thunder from it shook the very foundations under us. We could wait no longer as the building began to throb from the relentless pounding. It groaned and creeked and cried out to the heavens, ” why do you torment me so?” The rain got even harder and louder as it beat down on the school once again. Was it trying to wash the sins of the past away or was it preparing the wretched ruins to be reclaimed by the Earth Mother? At the sounds of screams we ran blindly from the comfort that others had once known into the deluge and away from the hellish punishment that was being delivered. We never looked back as we drove into the rain but we could still hear the whispers crying with the wind, calling for the love of the children again.

Amanda, it’s way out Ellerbe Road almost to Hwy 1. If you go down Ellerbe you keep going past all the big houses, past Wallace Lake Dam and through the intersection of Hwy 175. It will be on your right. There is a brick column out front with some graffiti on it. you have to go slow or you’ll pass it up. Vines are growing all over it. There is a water tower out to the right of the school. Hope this helps.

Drake, thanks for the directions. I wasn’t sure anything was out there. I’m going ot be back in a few weeks to see my baby sister get married. Perhaps I’ll drag my husband out there.
Thanks again!

I’m the biggest scaredy-cat in the world but continue to seek out “haunted” locations. He doesn’t get it but dutifully tags along. I relocated from Louisiana to NY five years ago for college. NYU was a scary place at night, especially the library. If anyone ever gets a chance they should check it out.

we went in high school it was dark and was spooky but it was all hype there are cows and cow **** all over the place and you will go to jail if caught the school being built in the 30’s or 40’s is BS as well it looks like it was built in the 50’s or 60’s there are symbols painted all over the place and I guess if you spook easy do not go but I would be more afraid of the jail time the ghosts and demons

Nathan, Best I can find out it was built in the late 50’s, early 60s. There is a presence out there and if you get to be there when all is quite and the cows and the land owner aren’t around, you can feel it. Most people now think it’s something that the Satanists did that causes the place to have paranormal activity. The entire area out there is shrouded with an eerie feeling. There were alot of things that actually did happen up at the intersection of Ellerbe and 175. I’ve got several posts on here about all that.
AMANDA JEAN….we’re trying to find the entrance into some tunnels under downtown Shreveport. Most were closed off and are now filled with wires but some are still open. I’ll post here if I find it. They are VERY SCARY!

Drake, tell me more about the doll family. I have never heard of that family.
What were the tunnels used for? I don’t know if I could go into some underground tunnel…sounds spooky!

drake: I remember hearing something about that in high school, but we never explored that further. The awesome thing about growing up in Louisiana was that no matter where you went, it was rife in history and there was always potential for a haunting.

The tunnels are actually storm drains. When the city did Street Scape they had SWEPCO take all the wires down from the poles and put them in the drain tunnels. There were once big doors in the alleys with stairs leading down to the tunnels but they have been replaced with huge man hole covers. Someone told me there are still a few of the doors but I haven’t been able to find one yet. One day I’m gonna go down there and walk all over and see if I can find one. We used to sneak into the Strand when it was a movie theater by going throug the tunnels and coming up in the basement. I’ve heard that they cemented most of the access doors to the buildings up but I know there are still a few left.
As for the Doll House. I was hoping to learn about it from Charmed One but she never put it on here.
AMANDA JEAN There’s always a ghost story or two floating around…no pun intended…in Louisiana. It’s a haunted place for sure. I guess because of the African Voodoo that was brought here from Haiti and Africa back in the day. Voodoo and occult stories really get my blood flowin’. I know stories about voodoo preists and preistess’ that actually cast spells on people and places right here in our area and they are still cursed to this day. I’m gonna have to open a blog site somewhere and start up a weird story forum. There are so many to tell. I know everyone has a story or two they’d probably like to tell. Maybe at Freeforums.org I’ll look into it and post back here when I find a good place. Everyone stay in touch!
