OK dude look. I have lived in the shreveport/bossier area (AKA the SBC) all my life I have been to the elerbe school hundreds of times. Me and all my friends used to hang out there on a regular basis back in highschool. I know that place inside and out. There is a mural of the grim reaper I know cause I helped put it there well actualy I just tagged along the art was done by my friend (I won’t mention his name). Any way theres alot of grafiti there. There are some “satanic” groups that go there and think their doing something but in all reality they are just kids mad at mommy and daddy and they don’t know the first thing about the occult. Yes there is frequent hauntings out there but it is random and very harmless. If by chance you are lucky enough to be there when the spirits get restless it is actualy kind of cool as long as you don’t freak out and run off you could realy enjoy a great supernatural experiance. But the Point is in 1994 it looked pretty much exactly how it does now minus the grim reaper cause that was done in about 95 or 96 it was my freshman year but I can’t remember what half of the year we did it in. Any way its all burned out because it caught fire back in the 60’s or someth’n like that. And thats why it closed down. Its mostly the wall that are burned down though the actual rooms and some furniture are still intact along with the lockers in the hallway. the are several classrooms most of them still have chalk boards but all the windows are pretty much busted out. The cows yes lots of cows you will find dead ones out there because well thats what happens when cows get old or sick, old man with the shot gun, yes he is a @$$ hole I met him once don’t care to again, and you can be arrested for tresassing out there. The fabled bottom less pit to hell is actualy a man hole that leads to the sewers under the school there are 3 foot rats acctualy they are nutres but they look like rats and they are closely related. I don’t advise ever going down into the sewers though. It is pretty much set up like any regular middle school gymnasium w/ fold spectartor stands. The aditorium has a stage and the wooden floor is all burned out and pryed up. There are two locker rooms but they are completely trashed and the cages where they used to store athletic epuipment still have working locks so if your not careful you can lock your self in, but if your skinny enough you can squeeze through the holes in the cinder-block walls. There is an old electrical shed by the water tower and last time I went out there wich was about 8 years ago there was a full cow skeleton in there. The hauntings are pretty much harmless. The most dangerous thing out there are the cotton mouth vipers that hang out in the field after a good rain

I’m glad lil mama took time to let everyone know that they have horrible spelling. thanks *****! I do agree with her though. I didnt see or hear anything when my friends and I went back in october-ish. We walked around in the dark without a flashlight and it still wasnt even slightly scary. Just a crappy school in a field. Gay.

Hey just wondering if people are still using this message board. There hasn’t been a good post from Drake or anyone in a while. But if yall have mypsace, hit me up on there at http://www.myspace.com/hauntla to discuss more

I havent written anything on here in awhile but I still read all the new posts. Drake hasnt had internet access lately but he is still here too:)

hi this is brandi and i am from shreveport, louisiana and yes this hunted school is for real and i wouldnt lie to you. its is so for real that one day me and some other friends went there one holloween and we took a tour in side the school when we wouldnt supposed to but we did it any way and so we go to the gym and its this big hole in the middle of the floor but you can’t see it but look it aint hole it aint a hole in there at all really but that night it was one there and we had almost fell in the hole but some in front of us said watch your step so we went on and then thats when we where goin on our way to the classrooms and then thats when i saw something down the hall and it was a little girl standing there with this puzzled look on her face and them thats when i told the othere people that were there with me that i want to go home so we left. so for all you people out there who dont believe it and saying that you want to go there trust and believe you do not want to go, it is so scary there and it is the truth so please everyone do not go to that school please

I’m having a hard time following the last story. So there’s a whole in the floor of the gym?

Well hello everyone. I see the site is still active. That’s cool. Hi Tara, I’ll be back on line soon. I drove past he school Friday and it looked as creepy as it always does. It wasn’t too scary back before all the vines took over. It just looked like an empty school. The water tower is getting real rusty. It’s looking more hellish all the time. I sat at the intersection for a few hours but didn’t see the glowing man. I wish the hanging tree was still there. There’s no crop in the field yet but it’s plowed and ready. I hope it’s corn this year. He likes corn plants, tall and billowy. He can go back into them and disappear from sight. Maybe I’ll see him then. I heard another story about a ghost walking the road down by the observatory. Actually by the big bayou bridge. I gotta check that one out too. They tore down the old church. It was one of the last buildings left of the old town. I knew they were going to when I saw someone taking the windows out of it one day. Now all that’s left is that building where the equipment is. It was a general store once. That whole side of Hwy 175 was a nice little town before their sins destroyed it. But that’s another story! I’ve got a good pic of the old church and the big pecan tree in front that’s now justa huge stump. There’s orbs in the tree….really big ones that can’t be dust. Too bad I can’t post them on here. Tara, email me…you have my address. I’ll be back. Drake

Drake, good to see your still here. I just went about a week ago to try and find the church but was really disappointed when it was gone. There is an interesting house off in the woods a little ways down from the church. It was hard to check out because the vegetation has grown so thick. I also saw Ellerbe and was amazed at how thick everything had gotten there was well. Although I knew it was there, it was hard to even see the actual school. The breezeway and the covering are all that’s really easy to see. Sadly, no Goat Woman at the Wallace Lake Dam either. The bridge was washed out or torn down. I did stop at the Crossroads as well, took some pictures but didn’t see anything.

The last time I went out to the dam the bridge was gone too. This had to of been a few years ago when I went. We found a way to get inside the rocked/fenced area. Inside that little building is a an elevator shaft or someting like that. You can see that it goes down to the bottom of the dam. I wouldnt recommend trying to go down though. It was a small space and didnt look very safe.

A correction…The tree in front of the church was a huge Sycamore. I looked at it in the orb pics again. At Wallace, on the other side of the spill water and up the hill in the woods was once a Boy Scout Camp. I’m sure the buildings are all gone by now. Back in the 70s there were still a few of them standing. You could drive across the bridge then and go up to the woods. We did lot’s of partying up there. Then we used to climb the dam, wedging our feet in the cracks of the concrete to go almost straight up the walls and then sliding back down sitting on one foot and balancing with the other, It would take out a pair of shoes real fast. I went down the dam road one afternoon a few years back to check things out and there was a photographer taking pics of a nude girl standing by the fence. What a pleasant surprise! They didn’t get in any hurry so I just sat there and watched. Much better than waiting for a crusty old spirit to show up.

The crossroads is the place to be when the crops grow tall this summer. No one will run you off from there but you better not have anything illegal in your ride. The cops might stop and check you out. I’ve found that if you get out and set a camera up on a tripod, they will usually just go on by or maybe ask a few questions without all the other hassles.

Never did make it to the Pea Farm. Maybe we’ll get there one day. I did make a few cemeteries in DeSoto Parish over the last few weeks. Nothing but a few orbs. There is one questionable image in front of a stone but I think it’s just the matrixing of a face. I’m going to old St. Joseph’s Cemetery down on Texas Ave. soon. I saw a woman walking around out there one day and there was no car that brought her there. If you’ve ever been there you know it’s no place for an elderly woman to be walking around by herself or any woman for that matter. She disappeared as fast as she appeared so if anyone wants to go, let me know. Maybe she’ll show back up.

I just checked out the map around Wallace Lake Dam. I don’t really see any signs of any type of building, but I’m sure the vegetation is so thick if it was there you wouldn’t be able to see it. It is kind of interesting to see all of the small trails/roads that wind through those woods. I wonder if the Goat Woman legend came about from the old Boy Scout huts?

HauntedLA, I don’t know too much about the Goat Woman. I’ve heard of her but that’s about it. That entire area out there is a weird place. Lot’s of UFO sightings there too. There was supposed to be a crop circle a few years ago in a corn field close to the school. We didn’t know exactly where it was supposed to be so we couldn’t find it from the ground. I wanted to get a plane and fly around but it’s too expensive these days. There’s so much Haynesville Shale activity going on now out around the school it may be a good time to do a little investigating. As long as you’re in a truck no one will know what you’re up to. You’ll blend in with all the oilfield trucks.

it sucks out there now because they built a oil well right in front of it and its so lit up it sucked

Ok, so I have grown up in Benton, LA my whole life and now I am down in Lafayette. this goes for charmed, I’m so glad you stop posting on here. You are very rude. These people dont post stuff on here because they believe it, they do it because its fun and adds adventure to their lives. I have been to Ellerbe a couple times in high school and loved it. Nothing happened but it was a fun and exciting experience. Local around the area all know about and it has been and will remain an alltime urban legend that kids will investigate for years to come. I myself will probably go back in the near future to check it out along with some other known places around Bossier and Shreveport. Great place to go to that all teenagers should go to.

I heard a story the other night from a girl who went to the Tank Farm with some others one rainy Sunday afternoon back in the winter. They said they heard the boy beating on the door and screaming. I asked where they were when they heard the noise and she said they were even with the lower baseball field so she may be telling the truth. That’s where the grain elevator was. She said some of her buds got scared and ran all the way back to the car on Standard Oil Rd, lol. I’ve got to make myself go out there one Sunday after a rain and listen. Just the thought of it gives me the shivers. I’ve started my book on the local stories so everyone can read about all this cool stuff.

I went to ellerbe last night around nine thirty. We parked in gravel right across from the school. Down the road on the left a red truck pulled into a trailer so I guess that was the owner of the property. We sat in the car while we prepared to get out. Two f my friends saw a white ghost at the school. As I opened my door I saw a black figure in the ditch close to where we were. It was walking right towards us! I put the car in gear and sped off. I want to go back and actually get out next time lol

hey whats up people, i have a nice story to tell. The last time i was out at Ellerbe was a few years ago. My friends and I had gotten together to go out there and investigate. We got out there, there was about 6 or 7 of us we were just walking around the school going into various parts. We were walking down the breezeway when we ran into three guys. I asked them how they were doing and they didnt say anything they looked like greaser type guys from the 50’s but they acted like they were drunk and had a weird glow to them. Thinking nothing of it we continued our tour. We went out to the watertower to climb it, my friend wanted to tag up there. While we were waiting on him to finish those three guys came up on us again. I said hello again and they still acted drunk and wouldnt respond to my questions So, they walked off again around the school my friend at this time had gotten down from the tower and we all started walking back towards the trucks. When we heard someones car alarm start going off, we ran to the cars thinking those three guys had broken into them. We saw an old f-150 type truck barrel down the highway it went a little bit down the highway and turned around in the road and sat there waiting. So we all got into our vehicles and drove out of there. We had a three car convoy people in the front me in the middle and my friend in a truck behind us in a truck. The guy driving the truck got scared and passed me. So now im in the rear with this old farm truck on my butt im going at least 90 by this time im coming up on the 4 way stop and decide to run it and when i do i look back for the truck and its gone…..hey does anyone know about a man dying in a accident out that way??? Thanks Josh.

I think if I saw three men glowing I’d be thinking something of it! You’ll see another glowing man at the intersection when the corn gets tall.

If there was a place for a title i would title my comment “Case Closed” i am the founder of the paranormal group “Shreveport Paranormal Investigations” after repeatedly being contacted over this case i went to the shreveport historical society and submitted for the history of suppsed “elerbee road school” case and found out that alot of the so called “history” you find online is more urban legend, actually the school was a blacks only school during the segrigation days and when they desegrigated the school, being too small, was closed and then bought by a catholic church who hoped to use it as a catholic school but their funding ran out and they closed the doors, later an electrical fire broke out and the school burned. although i have heard lots of stories that are a bit, “radical” to say the least alot of them on here im sorry to say, all thats their that me or my affiliates have found are residual nothing like you hear, if you wish to contact me more on this subject or other hauntings you may email me at shreveportparanormalinv@gmail.com or at my myspace website http://www.myspace.com/shreveportghosts

So, were there actual murders that took place out there that are in papers anywhere or is all just stories passed around?
