The Haunted School House in Blackfoot



Ok so for all of you who've never heard of the haunted school house on the reservation here it is...
The story starts 110 years agoThe president of the united states under presure from congress to inprove the health and welfare of the Indians living on reservations out west ordered the department of indian affairs to look into the matter.the department of indian affairs came up with many good ideas and one of them was to build a school on the tribes reservation in bingham countythe tribes medicine man was against the idea and fought to have the project abandoned, even to the point of incarceration.The medicine man said "the land is not good the land has many restless spirits and the land is EVIL"the department built the school against the medicine mans objections and all was fine till thefirst harvest.A fire started in the basement of the school and many children were overcome with smoke and perished in the fire.witnesses say they saw children in the schools loft "screaming at the windows" before the flames overtook themthe Department of Indian Affairs blamed the Medicine man for the fire and had him throw in jail, but the tribe railed around him proclaiming his innocence's. no formal charges were brough against him and they set him freeAs for the fire No reason could every be found as to how or why the fire started.many times the Department tryed to reopen the school after the fire but they never got the support of the tribe again. people have heard storys of a school teachers ghost seen late at night walking the school and the childrens screems can be heard in the Fall.the school property was abandoned.
so we decided to drive by the old school house and it's super creapy! it's pretty much out in the middle of no where and there's an old man who lives just across the street and is in charge of watching the old school house to make sure that nobody trespasses on the property because they say that it's disprespectful to those spirits who died while in the fire. Part of me totally wants to check out the inside but i'm sure as heck not going to do it alone and the only time you can do it is at night and i don't know if i'd be brave enough.
