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.

You’re all wrong, at least most of you. No matter what you emo and goth people would like to believe about whatever it is out there…Sorry, you’re wrong. God doesn’t love people like you for a reason: You’re losers. Go have sex with a shadow or whatever you can find that’s black.

Shut-up Nicole Justine. Emoes and goths are very nice people. A lot of them go to church, and God loves everybody. If you really went to church, then you would know that. Besides, having sexual intercourse with a shadow is much more fun than with a vibrating piece of plastic.

Alright people, let me give you the story behind the school. My family owns the property and I have shot at stupid teenagers that come on to the land. The school was abandoned back in the early 1980’s because of redistricting, if you drive around Louisiana you will find a lot of similar situations. Anyways, some dumb asses thought it would be a great idea to worship the occult. That’s where the graffiti comes from and the whole haunted ****. They were there for only two nights, mostly doing some heavy drugs, when they were arrested. My uncle shot one of the trespassers in the leg. The whole devil **** came from the fact that they were all taking acid and were hallunating. So if you go there all you’re going to do is get some good shoes dirty, shot at and arrested.

Creepy: I came across this site, unable to sleep after my husband told me about the hounted house he grew up in down in Marksville, LA. I grew up in Shreveport–in a house only haunted by my creeped-out family–and we knew about the Old Ellerbe Road School–or Church? or Tower? or Farm?–in the late seventies and early eighties. We tried to find it several times but never did, probably because like you teenagers we were drunk or tripping or both. So, the story is pretty old, at least as old as when I tried to find it, sometime between 77-79. Now, it seems to me that if we were hearing about it back then, there could be something in it. I don’t really see how it could be tied to integration, because I was in 2nd grade at A. C. Steere when we were integrated, so that would put the closing at around 1969 or ‘70 maybe. Does a place get a reputation for being haunted that quickly? I suppose it could, if people disappeared or were murdered there. By the way, do check out the haunting out on “OLD” Sligo Road. Sorry, not much info from me on Ellerbe, but I do remember it from way back then, and it was known to be haunted, and though I don’t remember by what or whom, it was a ghost and not “satan worshippers”–whatever that term means. I mean, do evil people bother with “worship”? Sounds like a waste of good evil-doing time to me . . . Anyway, it’s good to hear that the kids are still out there looking for ghosts and getting picked up by the cops. Remember, it’s haunted if you SAY it’s haunted. Have fun, kids. C. E.

Look, I can’t stand these stupid assed bullshit stories about the old Ellerbe Road School anymore. I grew up in Shreveport; know the whole area by heart. No police officer EVER was found dead with an ax in his head. Do you wish to scare yourself? Go right ahead believe this bullshit. It is your right, but don’t keep the old janitor/missing kids, crazy janitor/burned kids in auditorium stories going because IT NEVER HAPPENED, bullshit lies and rumors somebody started back in the day when I was about 10-12 years old in the 70’s. The fire happened LONG after the school was vacated. Back in the day, I went out there on many occasions, the dam area, the water tower, blah, blah. Back then, you could drive right up to the front, no fences. It was gross and filthy back then, and yes, so was that “scary satanic graffiti”. It’s all been there a LONG time folks. Yes, it seems scary, I haven’t been out there for at least 10-12 years now, it WAS CREEPY, dark, and smelled musty and pissy 20-25 years ago, but no spooks are/were out there, now or then.
Back in 1986 when Haley’s comet could be seen and I remember one of the colleges (LSUS I think) had set up a REALLY powerful telescope out there because it was so dark out that way. If you were willing to stand in line for 2 hours, then you could look at it for a couple of minutes. I know because I was there!
I can TELL YOU that the school was never a private school. The truth is it was a “n word” school when I grew up (back when one could say “n word” without causing everybody to get a stick up their ***, like they didn’t say it either, but that is another story) Get over it, like it or not I could care less, the truth is the truth. No I do NOT hate blacks, I am simply making a true statement that the word was not “horrible” to use back then. We are all just so politically correct these days aren’t we? That is off subject though, just telling you the truth as what the school was known as.
You are all so damn gullible. The “empaths” make me want to puke. Oh, and the “sensitives”. If they really were “sensitive” then they would have enough SENSE than to wander around manure infested, trash filled dark school looking for something that is NOT out there! I KNOW haunted, I know there are REAL scary places but this old shell of a school isn’t where SCARY is. Creepy yes, haunted no. Private property yes, haunted no.
Satanic cults are full of outcasts and goofs who hate on everybody and come together so they’ll feel better about being squirrels and goofs and “wannabes”. Their cults are so they can “get back” at everybody they hate. They are full of **** too. In addition, so you younger ones will just know in general, the “satanic” graffiti bullshit was “cool” to do in the early 70’s maybe before that even. I remember it even being up in the top part of the “rocket” at Betty Virginia Park in the 70’s, I had no clue what it was back then, as I was a little kid..
So lastly folks, I like to add an honorable mention to the immature silly ***** Nicole (full of **** with her missing “friend”, there IS no PART 2 because she is full of ****!). Do any of you dumbasses read the local newspapers, watch the local evening news, or perhaps visit a local library? Again, there was/is no crazy janitor or missing kid(s), nor was there ever a dead cop with an axe in his head found out there.
Oh yes, Darnassus/B> Lord (does that stand for “DUMBASSES”?) if you were so damn INTELLIGENT then you’d know there was no such word as ANYWAYS! Anyway is not plural. Go back to SKOOL! Oh you the one who claims to “own the property” anyone with any sense can see you are full of **** and you don’t on a pot to piss in.
I was’t going to say anything, but the more I read the more I wanted to puke, especially knowing the TRUTH about out there at the school. Now you folks don’t be hatin’ on me! As they say, “Don’t shoot the messenger!”. Oh yes one last thing, if you believe this bullshit then I’ll just bet those “blue misty clowns” will come for you! How about the one whom posted that “there was a new fence” but thought it may have been there to keep the cows out, MAYBE it was there to keep DUMBASSES like you out, duh! Oh yes, to shoot someone legally, they have to enter your HOUSE, so unless the owner wants to spend his last days in prison picking up soap, then he’d better not shoot anyone. He can only call the police, or hire a private security company, or SELL.
Look, if you are here looking for real ghost then do a search on the Web to find better sites than this, where there isn’t all of these false rumors and plain old made up bullshit lies by people who as my Daddy used to say, “Don’t know their *** from a hole in the ground!”. This could have been a really good site but all of the back and forth comments including my own takes away from having fun and finding real haunted sites. I was in a good mood before I started going down through these comments and I sunk as low as everyone else did, but I just could NOT stand the lies and bullshit anymore!BUT, if you do go then make sure that you are up to date on your tetanus shots and I do hope you are goofy enough to break your dumbassed necks trying to get the **** out of there with a blue misty ghost up on your *** chasin’ you!

I just read the “Charming”, or is it “Charmed” One’s comment. As I wrote before, I was a teenager in the 70’s and we went out there to the old school. We also went out the old Pea Farm when all the buildings and the water tower were still there. There was no fence at it either. The Ellerbe School was always, like any other abandoned building, a place for kids to hang out. It was later on that it became “haunted”. I have a picture of the school at night from the road and you can see a few orbs in it. This is where the blue clown comes from. Alot of orbs look like they have a smiling face. Like I said, the real haunted area out there is at the crossroads of Ellerbe and 175, at the blinking light. This is where a town once was. Those storage buildings next to the old church on down 175 West are a little that remain of it too. There was a huge dead tree, which I presume was an Oak or Pecan, (being dead for many years it’s sometimes hard to tell) at that crossroads on the northeast side. This was, as told to me by an old black man that lived down from the place, where “bad” slaves were hung along with a few others as well. If you know the story of Robert Johnson(delta bluesman)you know all about crossroads. I sat there many a night watching that intersection and finally I saw what I came to see. Standing on the northwest corner where the rotted tree trunk still stood was the figure of a large man surrounded by a bluish-white halo or glow. We watched him for a few seconds and he dissapeared into the cotton. I started the car and slammed it into gear and headed east on 175 out to Highyway 1 past the observatory. We went back there alot more times and on a few nights witnessed the same thing. I had been taken up by the story of Robert Johnson and to us this was our “crossroads”. Another very disturbing event took place there in the early 90s that involved what looked like an apparent demonic possession that almost resulted in a murder. I can’t comment too much on this due to family ties. I know this is not about the school but that entire area is veiled in darkness. Ever drive past there and see those big black dogs just standing there starring at you? Some of you won’t believe any of this but sometimes if you go too far into the dark side you can’t get out. It takes a permanent piece of your soul away, if not all of it. Oh, by the way, I passed the old school at dusk dark last week and a sherrif’s deputy was sitting right down from it on an oilfield road. I thought about all you guys on here.

First to Drake, I do agree with you it is the “area”. You should also post your experience on this website where you can add the actual locations of haunted places, then more people may see it and be able to add their own experience to yours. Your comment is so buried into the Ellerbe school post that if one were looking for it they may not find it.
To you and anyone else, I did have an experience quite close to that area. Here is what happened one October years ago, the early 80s, it was my Mama, my older sister and I. My Daddy worked evenings at that time and my older brother was who knows where. We were looking for a real thrill on one October night (we were in the mood since Halloween was a few weeks away, though not thinking we’d actually find or see anything), and drove way out to the boonies around the exact area you are speaking of. Unexplainable “things” did not normally easily freak us out. I’d like to make that clear right off. Before we got out that far where you are talking about, things got very oddly quiet and fog came out of nowhere, FAST (all at once), I truly mean SUDDENLY all three of us at the same time, after we all separately acknowledged the it was all WRONG FEELING; we drove away OPPOSITE from the whole area VERY quickly! Just as quickly as the hair on our heads and necks were crawling and we all 3 had chills, as we were further away from “it” it all ceased (if you’re from Shreveport then you know it does NOT ever get cold/chilly in October). Something was in that weird fog, it didn’t even look like “normal” fog and it rolled in surrounding our car just too fast to be natural, not to mention the dead silence. We were quite shaken up for several days, as we all seem to KNOW when “something’s” not right.
Anyway, your post on the area is much more detailed and interesting. I again suggest you make a separate post under your own heading. I do also know the approximate area you are referring to (I haven’t been out that way for many years due to our own experience, plus I no longer live in Shreveport though much of my family and many of my friends are still there). I am now the Mommy of 3 sons aged from just turned 11 years, 9 ½ years and our youngest is 5 years old. ( I didn’t get started having children until my early 30s) They all LOVE a good spook story, and when they get older, they will want to visit scary places as I did/do. There IS a difference between GOOD and BAD energies. I don’t claim to be a “sensitive” or “psychic”, I feel it is quite narcissistic to state those types of things. I am just saying that there is a difference between GOOD and BAD energies, like that night we felt it was WRONG out there! Before that we were laughing and having a blast until we seemed to “cross a line” where the silence was awful, no crickets, frogs, night owls NOTHING.
Oh, In my teens, I was “chased” by a large black dog with orange/red eyes he was gaining on me and then he just disappeared! That is why I really freaked after not having thought of that incident in many years and I got “the chills” just reading about those dogs you were writing about. Though the circumstances were different, the description was quite similar.
I know I sounded like a jerk when I 1st posted, but after reading down over 100 postings and some were just not even clear enough to understand what they were saying, AND the pure LIES of the history as well as passing on old made up rumors about it. I like to keep it real and mature, not all of the **** that was getting thrown on this post and especially the made up bull****, that people were just getting sucked up into and actually BELIEVING!. There are other websites for made-up stories. I feel like there are enough REAL scary things out there to tell, without spreading rumors that just aren’t true. On top of the made-up lies that one could or SHOULD be able to tell that they were just pretend stories, especially the one from some immature girl thinking they were scaring the **** out of people, about her missing FRIEND, that was probably sitting next to her at the computer helping her make up the ****, GROW UP! If you want to make it up then just go to sites where they welcome made up stories and then people may just like it.
I truly am not a jerk, though as a parent of three very young boys, that the spelling and English references is just scary in my book, (not just on this site) as some of them truly don’t seem to even care to spell correctly. I also realize that it isn’t my job to police the grammar errors. Np I’m not an English major, far from it. It is just called have a little pride people! Pick up an OLD FASHIONED dictionary and LOOK IT UP! What is scary is if you think about it they probably DON’T even KNOW HOW TO look a word up in the dictionary. Anyway, I’m not a jerk.
I close for now saying MAKE A POST for that intersection, no telling whom has additions’ to your story!
To anyone who still lives in that area, check out where the old town of Caspiana was way out on Hwy.1 (starts out as Youree Drive which is La. Hwy. 1 going south) there was once a plantation that no longer stands that supposedly has activity out there. My Grandma mentioned it once, but she has been passed away since 1979, and then I was interested but still couldn’t drive. Later on, nobody would go with me as they were too scared. That is an area I never got to explore but wanted too. No telling what has changed out there in the many years since I heard of it. Does anybody know of it?
I am NOT speaking of the pecan station to where (or used to could) buy pecans out on Hwy. 1.

Hey Charmed One, it’s great you responded to my entry. I have written to several sites with this story and none responded. Thinking of starting a new one and editing it myself before the post are made public. Like you, I can tell when it’s just kids making up ****. I do remember something about Caspiana but I’ll have to ask my sister, the memory of the family lol. I have a son 21 and you usually loose some facualties raising kids. This you will find out. I’m 48 now and have been involved in the spiritual realms for many years. I weed out the garbage and stick to the repeat stories which if told intelligently and are close to the same every time are usually worth looking in to. I wish I could give you my web address but I don’t want to publish it here. Do you know of some way to contact me or me you? If so, let me know and I’ll do it. Maybe we can get a site or a blog page up and running on REAL supernatural and paranormal events in this area. There is one site called Haunted Louisiana but they won’t respond to my e-mails. Alot of their stuff is false and confused. Some local women have also started a walking ghost tour of Downtown Shreveport and alot of their info is incorrect too. As to that fog. Was it sorta black? Did it seem to engulf everything, not just hang in the air? And where did you see the dog? You have my undivided attention. Drake (alias)

I went to the school several years ago. We had an experience at the end of the trip of hearing the soft sound of a girls voice. We were freaked out by the and took off running. I don’t know if we heard because we were looking for something to happen or it was real. anyway, I wanted to hear fromthe person that posted about Sligo Rd. I wanted to know what and where the experience was. I know there is alot of history on that rd. smilesformilesonly@yahoo.com
