The Devil’s School

Jacksonville, Florida

When it was first opened in 1918 the Annie Lytle Elementary School, then simply known as Public School No. 4, must have been an impressive structure. 

Today, the ruins of the Annie Lytle Elementary School are a far cry from their fancier past. The halls are choked with trash and debris and vivid graffiti covers virtually every surface. A fire that broke out in 1995 and was blamed on vagrants, gutted parts of the building and caused the roof of the auditorium to cave in, leaving it open to the elements.

After its closure, the school became a popular spot for wayward teens, as well as drug addicts and squatters. As people began to explore the abandoned building, the legends surrounding it grew and it didn’t take long before the school had acquired the reputation of the most haunted place in Jacksonville. In these tales, the building is often known by another name, the Devil’s School.

According to one popular tale, the janitor of the school used to take students down into the boiler room where he burned them alive. One day, one of the students escaped and in the process caused an explosion which blew up the boiler room and started a fire. 

Another variation on the tale says that the principal of the school was a cannibal, who kept kids who were sent to detention in a special meat locker in his office. The students were gutted and hung on spikes until the Cannibal principal could get around to devouring them. In addition, rumors of satanic and occult activity taking place at the abandoned schools also run rampant.

Some who have visited the site say that a huge tree grows somewhere in the depths of the abandoned school, though photos of the site today show no such inhabitant. Given the sheer number of specters said to inhabit the decaying halls, there’s every chance this is some sort of ghost tree and that you might still bump into it if you’re walking the hallways at night.

In 1999, the school was purchased with the intention of knocking it down, to replace it with Lytle Place Condominiums. The project was halted when the city granted the building a historic landmark designation in 2000. Today, the halls of the Devil’s School still stand empty, save for whatever ghostly denizens they may contain.

Haunted Operational Schools & Hospitals: The Unseen Terror

oh september, how you have my heart.

college is supposed to be a new start for danny: one in which his “work” life and personal life stay strictly separate. but when danny moves into his new gotham university dorm for the upcoming semester, his hopes are dashed. gotham is overflowing with lost souls, and they won’t leave him alone long enough for him to finish his damn physics homework.

when mr. and mrs. wayne offer him refuge in their old study, danny thinks he’d be stupid not to take it. he wasn’t expecting their house to still be inhabited, but whatever. he can blend into the background. he’ll do anything for some peace and quiet.

now if only he can convince martha to stop trying to out him to the rest of the family.

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

YELLOWJACKETS 2.05 “Two Truths and a Lie”

When you said that the unluckiest person is most hopeful, it reminded me of Nagito Komaeda. If the universe were combined, do you think he would fair well having Anti Cosmo as his anti fairy?

Funnily enough, I feel like it would be Hajime who would have an anti-fairy companion. I mean, he’s surrounded by extremely skilled people! That would attract bad luck in some way for him. Nagito wouldn’t be good food for anti-fairies. Or Fairies. Or Pixies.

...Honestly, Fairies aren’t quite sure what food he produces. It’s like a weird amalgamation of luck, desire, greed, and all sorts of emotions they can’t disentangle. Like a crockpot gone horribly horribly wrong. Eating any bit of that would make any fairy sick.

Eugh. The hell is wrong with that one.

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.

All right but can we talk about how good of an actor Azriel Dalman (young percy) is? Like, besides the scene that he has where he's in the swimming class there's the nightmare scene. The second time he screamed "MOM"? Tears went automatically to my eyes, I literally shivered. It was so raw and so desperate it got me speechless. That kid is litterally 10 and is already absolutely killing it.

Some artblock stuff. From shadgo to all girls school shart to sister jenevelle. All drawn lazily *sigh*

*looks to left, sees a bunch of different DJ MM* *looks to the right, sees a bunch of different Howdy* I'm guessing that when you really like a character you make different versions of them?

I mean technically-? Though for Dj all of the other Djs are their own character that don’t even associate with him in the slightest- they kinda are their own thing smhhh

Everyone enjoys making alternative versions of characters they enjoy, like this new crack au I made on a complete whim (the “shiddy dating sim” au) JSHDHDJSJSJ-

Before u say anything- no this is not inspired by DDLC JDHCHDH- instead inspired by the c l a s s i c s such as “Kusoge” and “Hatoful boyfriend”

why did I make this-? I dunno JDHDDHDJ probably won’t draw anything else from this again LMAO just a lil crack post
