Annie Lytle Elementary School
It has captured the imaginations of Jaxons for decades. Abandoned for 54 years, unsubstantiated claims range from a cannibal principal who ate students to a 1960s furnace explosion that killed several people.
While it's doubtful that longtime principal "Miss Annie" Lytle Housh ate her students, the school's architect, Rutledge Holmes, did kill himself with a .32-caliber pistol in 1929. Reported to have been heavily drinking for a while, according to Reclaiming Jacksonville, his suicide note read:
"Do not notify any one. I have some pains in the region of my heart. Should I die I would like to be wrapped in one of my camping blankets and buried under some pretty trees in the country in an unmarked grave. Take what I have in Quincy for the trouble. R. Holmes."
Whatever one believes, it's hard to deny that the Annie Lytle is a creepy place.
