The old Stoco junior high
West Virginia · United States · Hospital
Voices, footsteps and echoes through the school, and writing that has appeared on the walls.
Walking through this abandoned school in Raleigh County, West Virginia, people report voices, footsteps, echoes and the sound of somebody moving.
Writing has appeared on the walls, which visitors describe as being about witchcraft.
The sense of being watched is constant.
The writing deserves the obvious explanation before any other. Abandoned schools in coal country are visited constantly by teenagers with spray paint, and pentagrams and inverted crosses are what teenagers paint on the walls of abandoned buildings. This archive contains several examples.
What is worth knowing is what these schools were. Raleigh County was built entirely on coal, the schools served camps owned by the companies, and they emptied when the mines closed.
The building is derelict, unsafe and posted against trespass.
