Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Old Elerbe Road School

Shreveport, Louisiana

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.

listen everyone… there is nothing out there but an old school… yeah i heard all the stories just like all of you, thing is i’m into this kinda stuff so me and my friends made regular trips to that school.. creepy looking yes, but ghost ridden, no – i’ve been all over that school during the day and night, we camped out right there in the auditorium on the old stage, that’s about all that’s left of the original building other than the walls still holding up parts of the roof… if you don’t believe me go see for yourselves.. and if you believe that story, do your research, there are no stories of any children disapearing anywhere out near Elerbe and definitely no freak’n janitor or anyone else.. the school had $$ problems and had to close, shortly after some people broke into the gym and started a fire.. yes there was talk of witchcraft and animal sacrifices, but i’ve been there and the worst i saw was the grafiti left by punk kids trying to scare the **** out of their friends…

not that i don’t believe in the paranormal – i do.. very much so, but it aint out there people.. now if you wanna discuss more … let me know i’d be glad to share my knowledge of local folklore,,,i’m into it man!

The only screaming I heard was the girls that I came with..Nothing is spooky about it except how dark it is and the cows/bulls roaming through it..It’s fun to feel afraid and act upon the fear, but the place itself is just an old building with a ton of graffiti

Okay, I know all of you have heard the stories, rumors etc. I have heard pretty much every story there is out there about the school. A lot of people have a lot of stupid improbable **** that they claim to have experienced. I don’t believe most of it. I have been to the school many times and never experienced a thing. Tonight, however, was different. See, I’m very psychically sensitive, what my boyfriend calls an “empath.” I believe that is why what happened happened to me rather than one of the four others I was with. Today is my birthday and we decided to go out and find something to do. We went out to the dam for a while, but that got boring. So I, being the big mouth that I am, say “Hey, Ellerbe School is right down the road. Wanna go check it out?” So off we go. We get to the school as two other cars are pulling up. My boyfriend and another friend get out and go up to them to ask if they are going to check out the school as well. Being the idiots that they are, they walk up and say “What are y’all doing out here?” I guess the kids thought they owned the property or something, because they took off. We climbed over the gate and through the barbed wire around the buildings (which is new, by the way, probably to keep the cows out) and make our way to the back of the school. Someone decides to go check out the gym first. We walk in and the others start looking around, exploring the stage and locker rooms. I, having been there frequently, just stand near a wall and watch as my boyfriend throws things over the crumbling walls trying to scare the other three, who haven’t been there before. Suddenly I feel something around my neck and pulling my hair and I’m slammed against the wall I am standing in front of. I don’t really freak out since things like that happen to me a lot when I visit “haunted” places. So I simply right myself and tell the other two that are in the room with me that we need to leave. We start walking down the breezeway and yelling at the other two guys, still in the locker room, that we need to leave. The entire way down the breezeway, whatever is there keeps grabbing my hair and yanking my head back. The girl that was with us was holding my hand and praying the netire time. Even with me teliing her to shut up because that seemed to be making it worse. We didn’t hear any screams or anything like that. Just something pulling my hair. I don’t know what it was and I never really believed that place was haunted, because there really isn’t any reason for it to be. There was no crazy janitor, the school didn’t burn down, and no children were molested or murdered there. It was a school for the farmers’ kids and it shut down because of low funding. The fire was a small electrical fire that occured after the school closed. I don’t know what was there but it apparently wanted us out. Being the stupid kids we are, though, we plan to go back and check out the rest of the school. This time with flashlights. If anyone wants directions or whatever, feel free to e-mail me. RejectBarbie318@aol.com Thanks for taking the time to read my story. If you go, take a flashlight and be careful. Have fun!

I went on 12-28-06 with a sister & 3 friends we got there about 4pm & left about 5:30pm. But, however this place does have some activity. We didn’t have anything bad happen though. We did hear the little cry, a few moans, & a scream. We (my sister & I) did voice recordings & my sister & I took pictures. I’ve got a few with demonic faces & so on. There are a few distorted voices on the recordings. Anyway, the cops are bad. I never saw any cows, but did see loads of cows bones & manure. My sister & 1 friend went to the water tower, but they didn’t climb up. We weren’t there long enough to cover to whole ground. But, did cover most of it. We saw lots of spray painted sayings like, “Help me please he’s trying to kill me – I’m hiding.” & “He can’t be stopped.” And on one of the walls said Bodies with an arrow pointing into a room behind the gym. Well, this what we had pappen to us. We do plan to go back, not sure when it’ll be. But, we will go back. Please be safe & use common sense if you plan to go. Take Care, JenLea

First I have been there and nothing happened to me or the people I was with at the time. We went several times about 8-9 years ago. Two I am also an empath. I felt like I was being watch and I did feel the presence of children and adults there. We did get busted one time. We had made it to the cars and the police officer pulled up. We told him that one of the cars had over heated and we were looking for a house to get some water. He let us off with a warning. Anyway, this place is haunted. Nothing ever happened when this school was opened. That rumor is false. You also have to think. How long has that land been there? It just happens that this school was built on or near a place where women and children had died or had been murdered. Another thing, George Washington Carver School aka Ellerbe Road School closed after the scools where intergrated in the 60’s. I got this tid bit of information from persons that were going to school and had children in school when it closed. Also check with the school board. Going there is stupid and illegal. You can be arrested and spend time in jail. You have been warned. It is for your saftey that the police patrol that area. It is dangerous in there. The wall and celing have asbestos(sp?)in them which can make you very sick by breathing it into your lungs. There is alot of debris there and you can be seriously injured. The farmer is not reliable for any medical expenses since you were trespassing. He could also have you arrested for suspected cattle rustling (theft) which is punishable by 6 months or more in jail and a hefty fine. And yes people still steal cattle in this day and age. You have been warned.

Okay, so I am not from LA. I moved here from Colorado and went out to the school last night with a few of my friends from around here. We were just bored and looking for something to do at about 4 am. As far as getting there, I definitely recommend having at least half a tank of gas in a truck/suv…you just drive for like 20 minutes down Ellerbe road to get down there. We were lucky enough not to have had the cops or the owner show up at that time.

I have always been a bit sensitive about places, and just got a very bad feeling about the place. We parked at the gate and walked up, and I only got as far as outside of the Gym or auditorium, I started shaking and went back to the car. Other than that, nothing really happened. I have had that happen at places before though, not necessarily hauntings though. What I have found/belive I guess, is that certain places like schools, hotels, and churchs often have a strange energy to them because of the ammount of people who were there when they were open. When you have that many people in a place it start to get a bit jumbled.

I am not sure whether anything bad happened there or not, I found this site while looking for what I can find. So far all I have found was that it started as a segregated school, then was closed and bought by a church of some sort, that turned it into a college and then ran into some financial problems. I have found some of the stories about sacrifices and what not as well. The only thing I can say about that is people should be very careful getting into things they don’t understand.

My advice, if you’re curious about the school, check it out. Be careful going in, it’s very dangerous from what I’ve seen, and like other people have said, illeagal.

If anyone has any furhter information on the REAL history of the school, I would definitely love to hear it. j.dalton@hotmail.com

the school is not haunted but has been a gathering ground for some sick people.there have been murders out there.a cop was found with an ax in his head after the farmer called the police to report tresspassing.this was back in 89 so do your research correctly before you get on here and tell these kids it’s safe out there.the farmer did start shooting at people after that because i was one of them lol girls have been raped out there and kid’s have been beaten up badly and put in icu by other kids.it’s not safe out there so don’t go.

i live in Shreveport too and all i have to say is that most of you need to go to “skool” and its not the one on Ellerbe Road. I have never in my life seen so many spelling errors! I could barely keep up with the stories because i was laughing so hard at the “creative” ways you spell, and thats not even mentioning the use of ebonics! No wonder we are last in the nation in everything we do……sighhh

A cop was found with an axe in his head in 1989 at the school? i would think most of us would have heard about that. ive lived here since 1969 and ive never heard that story. id like to see some evidence of this. thanks. however i dont doubt one bit that the farmer might shoot at anyone on his land. i wouldnt blame him.

I was soo bored in that city when I noticed that I should probably go and visit the school. I walked in and saw wet blood dripping from the ceiling. There were noises of kids saying that they wont hurt him and they want to go home. I used to go to that school and my best friend Angel was mad at me and she never wanted to see me angain. I hated her until the day she died. She was stollen by an evil spirit. I had dreams of her of who she could have been today. I now feel soo bad that I was ever mad at her. So now whenever I walk into my old school I can just hear her and other children Scream with all thier might.

Nicole sorry to say but it would have sound true if you used better grammar becuase i could hardly understand your story myself, plus you stopped too soon, did she ever show up? did they ever find the body? was it ever on the news?

Anyway even though Nothing REALLY happend to me while i was there 2 years ago i do believe some of the things that people say happend there, i mean it can’t happen to every single person who goes there, some people are just different and it doesnt mean that that Mysterious force in the school dosent exist.

I went there with a friend around 4pm and it was fixing to rain. i saw a very wierd plant while i hopped the fence ( i cant bleieve i didnt think to take a picture!!) i had a digital camera with me and the only thing that i was terrorfied of was that old grumpy farm guy becuase i heard a he pointed a shotgun in a guy’s face telling him to get off the property.

okay so we hopped the fince and the first place we went to was the of course the first building that you see, we didnt see or hear anything but i took a bunch of pictures. We got to the lunch room i REMEMBER putting the digital camera in the window way of the double doors and took one picture of that room. we were going to head down the breezeway but my friend’s dad blew his horn which was NOT a good idea! we ran back the way we came and quickly hop the fence.

The last time my friend went there she said as soon as she was getting ready to leave she could have sworn someone called her name, but she said it may have been the cows who were making noise.

At last my digital camera, at the time i didnt know how to operate it and i heard that ALOT of people’s pictures never get to print out or develop really well or not at all. so at the time i didnt know how to delete pictures off my camera trust me on that! i found that the lunch room photo was never there, ALOT of my pictures were gone and i couldnt explain why. i asked my dad if this camera could delete things by itself and he said no, plus it takes alot to delete you have to turn the knob then press another button then chose which pictures to delete.

we would have gone to the gym but there were two dogs running arond down there and if they saw us they probaly would have barked and that guy would have came out.

i posted SOME of my pictures on the Haunted Louisiana site, just look for my name and you will see it

The storeies are true about the kids being killed. but you will not find anything in the school. you will find it in the woods out back. Go thru the gates until you see the open field, in the back is a trail that leads to the shed were the kids died. the stains can be seen on the walls and at the right time, you can hear them playing. Allen Tedder, you still alive, or did they catch up to you? YOU A**!
