Lambertville High School Across the Delaware River, directly adjacent to Pennsylvania is the little town of Lambertville, New Jersey. This little rural town has a thick historical past, if you dig deep enough. The most interesting piece of history and the creepiest I have read in a very long time is the ghostly stories surrounding the abandoned Lambertville High School. The high school was first established in 1854 and then remodeled in 1927. Apparently in the 1950s, the school closed its doors forever after a ravenous fire and also due to the increasing population of the towns youth. Since the 50s, many brave (or stupid) New Jersian souls have gotten up enough pluck to go wandering through the disheveled and partially burnt hallways of the old high school only to discover that they should not have done such a thing! The first thing that really sent the shivers down my spine when researching this school is the chalkboard artwork in one of the classrooms. Unfortunately somebody has graffiti-ed all over the etchings, but the picture to the right was one captured of the artwork before it was vandalized. Many people who have seen this etching in person say that it is either very creepy or somewhat nostalgic in that it reminds them of when they attended school. Either way, the artist of the etchings is unknown...there has never been a signature found and no one has admitted to their masterpiece in the abandoned school. One person tells of how he and his friends went looking for adventure and adventure (or terror) found them on the third floor of the collapsing school. The man and friends were turning to leave the building when they heard two blood-curdling screams from what seemed to be a little girl, undulating down from the third floor that they had just departed from. Another man claims that he spent the night in the high school back in the 80s to avoid getting caught sneaking back into his house after sneaking out and having the door locked behind him. He slept in one of the offices on the second floor of the Lambertville High School, only to be awakened in the middle of the dark night to a dragging or shuffling sound of footsteps making their rounds around the entire school...each floor and stopping in front of each classroom or office along the way. He claims it stopped in front of the office he was resting in and he didnt move until the sun came up...and then he bolted out of the building! Among the screams and shuffling noises heard inside of the old school, there is also tales of childrens laughter emanating from the old school at exactly midnight. Some locals claim that a number of children were killed in the schools last fire and that they could still be trapped there...maybe the old rendering on the chalkboard was a dedication to their memory, rendered there by a teacher or student who knew the others? Whatever the facts, this is one scary high school with a long list of ghostly experiences. ~lalaurie https://youtube/watch?v=xwagz8tj3bU
