Opened my eyes to a whole thing I didn’t know was happening, basically, in my back yard when I was a kid. The Elan school.
I’ve since moved back to the area, and today took one of the creepiest ‘afternoon outings’ of my life to go check out the site and see what it looks like now.
Here’s the building the author mainly was kept in
But it’s like the whole place was just abandoned in a rush. The “school” was closed down in, I think, 2011, but look at the inside and all the stuff they left behind:
It was very creepy. The “kitchen” building still had all kinds of neglected commercial kitchen equipment in it. Not just pans and racks, whole ovens and refrigerators.
The place has about 6 buildings, and all of them have busted windows and doors, and a bunch of valuable stuff still inside.
So weird to visit a place like that on a beautiful summer day. Got the chills.
