Located in Franklin County Georgia. This old abandoned school house was once an orphanage. The story around town is, the boys and girls who lived in the home were regularly abused by the owners and staff. Very, very sad and horrible to think about.
Apparently this went on for years until one day, a little girl escaped and ran to a store down the road. She told the lady working there about what was happening at the orphanage. She immediately reported it. The establishment was then investigated and shut down.
The building has been used for various things such as a school and a community center. Rumor has it that the orphans who once lived in the center are still around haunting the place. Doors open and close by themselves, foot steps and children's voices are heard when no one is around, and there have even been reports of little hand print appearing on the windows.
My overall impression of the old Sandy Cross school house? Really creepy. The whole place gave me chills. Maybe because there is really some sort of paranormal presence, or maybe it's just the thought all the awful things that went on there.
