What We Found Inside This Abandoned High School
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This Philadelphia school was closed down in 2013 due to major city budget cuts that ultimately closed 22 other schools through out the city. There is talk of turning this building into a community center however the last updates on that idea are from 2018.

I love how he doesn’t add constant horror music and talks nonstop like other exploration you tubers. He lets the silence speak for the place he’s in and set the mood
BOOM! Exactly. Can't stand those people.
I'm not a fan of constant talking in these types of videos, but I do quite like music in them if it's quiet. The silence is nice too though.
just say exploring with Josh. That prick is beyond annoying and ruins every video
@@mrbowlingcrazy nailed it! LOL
Anyone have a video of the story behind the shooting?
Holy wow that place has only been abandoned 6 ish years and it’s trashed in every square inch looks like it’s been abandoned since the 70’s by the decay 😱
Its not on 70s,some buildings are easily decay,its not sure on the date
That’s what I thought. 6-7 years it looks like it’s been abandoned for 50 years
I'd love to have some of those wooden floors and doors...oh and that crap load of copy machine paper
And then people claim the economy is unfair and they are oppressed. Smart people would have figured out a way to put it to use or make a profit out of it.
That's Philly for you. It's a beautiful city, but has some serious crime...just like any major cities. I am from Delaware and I went to Flyers games and Eagles but I wouldn't go in these buildings like they are doing. It looks like it's cold by the hat and coat he is wearing and so many homeless people seek shelter at these places....and then drugs.
I attended this school from my freshman to senior year & graduated in 2009. This school is what molded me into the person I am today, from the great experiences, teachings & peers I still am close friends with. It saddens me to see how a place that was so awesome to me in my teenage years now looks like a horror movie 😫. However, I have very high faith & hope that me & other peers of mines will come together & rebuild this up to its deserving place! 🙏🏾
Did it happen in the 80's? And why was the school closed in 2013?
What’s the name of the school ?
Communications Technology High School
@@gunduz6939because a friend of Ajax( a student ) had come with an g*n and pointed for "fun" and don’t know why but sh0t Ajax.
You walk at the most perfect pace, and move the camera slowly and never miss anything. Feels like I'm actually there with you. Very good work 👍
Fun fact my highschools basement is full of asbestos and even has a "bomb" room down there with rations from the 1950s haha
That’s actually so cool 😆
@@nextlaunch1 and a good spot to go to hide
Dude thats pretty cool id love to go check it out cancer dust or not
That’s cool!
That would’ve been a fallout shelter and would’ve had the Civil Defense all purpose survival crackers.
A Civil Defense water barrel
And a radiation detector.
I would’ve loved to go down there!
Cool! Love asbestos, go play in it.
Closed in 2013. Oof. I would’ve thought it was abandoned in the 80s or 90s.
Dilapidated and falling apart
A lot of schools don't get the necessary funding to modernize themselves.
Must have looked shitty in 2012-2013 as well
I agree. This was definitely in bad shape when it closed or that bad of neighborhood.
things deteriorate fast in Pennsylvania lmao
I taught at Simon Gratz high in north Philadelphia from 1976-1981 and could tell you stories that would make your head spin! The top floor was the only one with graffiti and as a young white teacher, I had my share of confrontations. Be safe in those neighborhoods!
You were brave to teach there.
me also but in michigan it was tuff

Going into an abandoned property in Philadelphia? That's brave.
Yea
I explore vacant properties in philly. Usually we arent alone and usually have at least one person with us that carries.
suedefringe why is it so dangerous there??
@@The_Crusty_Old_Hag_Next_Door nah. You just never know. Imo better safe then sorry. Honestly, the only time someone was weird with us was scrappers. But then another time I had a nice conversation with a scrapper. It's a crap shoot of what you might right into. Most of the time you just run into other people doing the same. Exploring and taking pictures. To this day I am good friends with a few people I met in an a abandoned church.
@European Colonist Yeah :) At least Philadelphia's mayor didn't have to ask people to stop shooting each other to leave room in the hospitals for COVID-19 patients.
I could be wrong, but I’m sure blood has a coopery odor. And most dry blood turns brown or black.
it looks like it's turning brown.
M F yeah, it definitely looks recent. That’s a lot of blood.
SweetE1403 it’s kinda disturbing leaving one to wonder if a human or animal was injured.. messed up.
Yea I think its like paint
Kiera and summer yeah, probably ketchup . Someone had a barefoot ketchup fight.
What a waste of good facilities. They should've auctioned off those lockers and chairs , doors etc... for charity before shutting it down.
Doesn't matter to the schools when it is easier just to keep spending taxpayers money...
These places all could have been repurposed for homeless, but now, we have to just wreck and trash them. What a sick country.
@biff s Well they are trashed anyway.
When you factor in asbestos and judging from paint peel loads of lead ....um naw
You have the best videos, when you record its steady and we can see everything. Not like other explorers, freakin camera bouncing all over the place and doing more talking than recording.
Thank you for taking us through the journey. your videos are very professional.
Oh and that is definitely blood.
I’m thinking it’s not real blood. Look at these photos from real places people have died and bled on. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4543558/Inside-horror-death-houses-faced-forensic-cleaners.html
The craftsmanship of those old wood doors and shelves are amazing. Government could have sold them for five hundred bucks each
Too much work. U.S. govt officials don't like to sweat
@@johnnancy8394 I live in Turkey, life conditions are difficult here, how is the us?
It’s crazy that every abandoned property is vandalized. Shows how much disrespect people have for others property.
Do you prefer it be occupied?
It is ridiculous out the property was destroyed and not even attempted to be protected to prevent damage.
What’s the point if it was just abandoned anyways
I really hope that you have some way to defend yourself. You explore some places that most people would never go near and are very sketchy at best. I think that it's only a matter of time before you run into someone that has less than good intentions. I hope that I'm wrong about that. Just be careful.
Pretty dark foreshadowing. I’ve been doing similar stuff for years and nobody has tried to merk me.. knock on wood I guess.
yes. please be careful.
@@CANControlGRAFFITI That's good, but it doesn't mean that it won't happen.
In general Philly is the friendly city. It's probably in the NE side of town which is decent.
@@kittyfanatic1980 it's not in the Northeast more like north Philly
Just so you know, that wasn’t a crime scene, it was remnants of a student film shot at that location. There used to be a video showing all the different staged crime scenes in places like this.
Is there a link to it?
I'd love to see a link to this as well
How would you know
@@taramonaghan5114 this place was featured in a scout video. It’s on RUclips somewhere.
I’ve been looking and can’t find the video you are speaking of. I did find this was called the Communications Academy and the locked door was for the computer room
It would be great if you could find the other video, this place is interesting
Must have been quite the detention room with that barred door 😂
Yea I was thinking in school suspension
Why are people so destructive? That place is in pretty bad shape for being shut down for only a few years....!!!!
They’re not destructive, they’re just oppressed and underprivileged. Oh and the economy isn’t fair.
7:30 id say a drug addicts party gone wrong one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed someone .. most likely
Ya u Are very rite
Or gang initiations
It was remnants of a student film, there’s a video showing this clip as well as the film that was shot.
@Derek Ozaki unfortunately no I can’t, I went looking for it here on RUclips after I made that comment. It’s in a random video I watched not long ago.
I like that your not COMPLETELY hush hush on your locations...
Stay safe.
Keep on exploring and capturing history
I would have left real fast after seeing the "bloody footprint"
That was once a beautiful building.
I can't help but in the beginning of the video the sing 🎶 In West Philadelphia born and raised on the play ground is where I spent most of my days 🎶
That place definitely had some interesting history.
That place probably wasn't safe when it was a school.
probably?
Now is creppy trash
This ia a proper portait of the "education system" nowdays.
Wow! That bloody area was insane. I enjoy your videos! Please be careful out there!
It's fake
Between paint pealing off the walls, and the broken fluorescent bulbs, I would seriously consider wearing some kind of breathing protection when making these videos. There has to be some nasty things floating in that air.
6:11 is a trophy cabinet
Looks like the school failed at teaching the kids how to spell if the dictionary were used to help spell out their graffiti.
The door that was spray painted, "Your Gay" was a failure in grammar. haha.
I live outside of Philly, you’re brave for exploring this place!
Great video and love the fact, you can hear the real stress in your voice and breathing! Easy to sit here and watch, not so easy to walk around abandoned buildings in any large city without some fear of the unknown!
Great stuff ! That theatre room was quite sad to see, bet there’s lots of memories been made in there. it’s scary when you find a bloody scene like that, that one looked really bad! Found one with police tape round it once it’s scary knowing bad stuff happens in these places
It was an enjoyable weekend for me. First, Urban Exploring With Kappy posted a video on Saturday, then you and Derelict Doug posted on Sunday. Wow. It suddenly hit me that I overlooked those little square "fireplaces" down at floor level in some of the classrooms, which is surprising because I haven't seen them in other videos. I went to an elementary school built in the the "nineteen 'teens" that had them in every classroom and they always intrigued me at the time, since they had the same varnished hardwood flooring as the rest of the room. I didn't figure out later that they were ventilation shafts to pull stall air off the floors and pull down the warm air from above. The school was heated by three huge boilers in the basement via brown boxes in the classrooms with blowers in them to circulate the heat from the radiators inside. We had to go through a tunnel that went past the boilers to get to the lunch rooms in the Junior/Senior building across a courtyard area. Scared the daylights out of me when I was a little "Punkin" in First and Second grades! This was a very interesting exploration, _as usual._
Actually looks exactly the same as the day it closed. Zero decay. haha
Haha. High school high!
Lol
Hi my friend it is amazing those buildings are still standing in Great Britain they would have been there for about a year or two and then they will be knocked down for housing but if it wasn't for you and your friends filming these buildings there would never be a history to show
*YO BRO THAT WAS DEFINITELY BLOOD!!!I USE TO DO CRIME SCENE CLEAN UP SO I KNOW WHAT A LOT OF DRIED BLOOD LOOKS LIKE. SOMEBODY DEFINITELY DIED THERE. GOD REST THEIR SOUL AND REST IN PEACE!!!* 😞🙏 *P.S.... I'M NOT EVEN JOKING EITHER!!!*
what a waste of a good building
Chris, I graduated from high school back in 1973. Looking at your video has brought some very fond memories 😊 I am talking about the auditorium, lockers, the spiral notebook.
20:00 full name visible. Should probably have blurred that out in post.
Also, it's omeprazole which is generic for Prilosec. It's acid reflux/heartburn meds. I know because I take them, too.
TheDarxide23 Yeah, I take them too. Hopefully he took those and disposed of them properly. They may be only for people who suffer from excessive acid reflux, or like me take them to protect my stomach lining from the breakdown of other medications that I have to take, but in the wrong hands they are still dangerous if taken in quantity or by someone not prescribed them to take.
Maybe we wouldn’t need that stuff if we didn’t watch stuff like this right before bed.
BugsWisely Actually i don’t eat onions!! Some stomach medications are not over the counter in the UK.
Look. Doctor RUclips Commenter to the rescue. Thanks, Doctor Idiot. You clearly know everything!
TheDarxide23 It may just possibly be the reason l know what I’m talking about is because I actually worked in a pharmacy dispensary a few years ago for several years. I presume you want me to go suck an egg now😳🥚😂
You're lucky to have lived to post this video. Philly's hardcore...
Just dont act dumb. This area is shit but it's not that bad.
I live in philly. In Frankford. It's not that bad
Not all of it is bad. Only people who dont live in philly say this...
@@michael-pg8fi you are right about that. I'm from Delaware ( I live in sunny FL now) I' was and still am an Eagles fan and I used to be a Flyers fan big time until the strike years ago. Beautiful area, but some serious rough areas too. But you have that anywhere you go. We have plenty of that here in Florida....it's just hotter lol
@@missyannp36 philly has some areas like Kensington // strawberry mansion that are awful and there are several "poor" neighborhoods but the amount of people who have never even lived in philly who are ill informed is insane.
I actually used to attend this school. I was here from 9th grade until 11th when it closed. Soo sad seeing it in this condition. Great video nonetheless.
You know why it closed?
@@zayfromqblock4045 He literally explained it in the video
@@karleeappling2393 he said it was ah murder scene and thts not true
@@zayfromqblock4045 It closed down due to low enrollment...
Looks like the school from the movie, Lean on Me
Was thinking the exact same thing.
No that’s Paterson Eastside high..... the auditorium in lean on me was absolutely gorgeous this school is a garbage can
@@RedForeman I think they meant the same as I did, this is reminiscent of the opening scenes of the movie when the school was trashed. Not that we thought it was the exact same school.
Nah thats east side
I was thinking same thing. The auditorium. Just reminded me of that movie. So sad
Some of the graffiti is beautiful. Also it’s pretty cool that a middle school taught photography & film development.
I can imagine all the students coming back to this place days/months after it closing and having massive parties.
Good to see you, Been awhile.
I live in Philadelphia. Lots of shit holes to explore, just watch you don't get yourself killed.
Your video represents what most of what Philadelphia has become. Sad
Strange Dee* Lee I don't know why it's so bad. Grew up in NJ & we always went to NYC. Never Philly till we moved to PA 25 years ago. Remember my 5 year old asking about all the litter, abandoned houses & general run down look of everything. Filthadelphia my neighbor calls it.
I agree the useless people have just destroyed the area for no reason
@@samanthab1923 it's because they just don't care
LA and SF are about the same.
Where the padlocks were that must be detention.
It probably doesn't look too different from when it was in use, bullet holes included.
I enjoy your camera work and commentary. Thanks and keep these vids coming!
The locked room looked like trophies or something.
Damn! That blood. Did you report it?
Probably not
6:41
they probably wouldn't look into it, as it was a ghetto ass school.
That school only closed in the mid 2010s?! What the hell it looks like it's been closed 50 years!
I'd love to have those big oak doors, I can't believe they were still there.
There's a lot of woodwork, solid wood doors, tile, etc. that needs to be salvaged if they don't do something with the building.
But, we all know what will happen, it'll be demolished and everything will end up in a landfill.
That dark room was just like the dark room in my high school. I loved that class. notice no-one stole any books... sad.books have true value
Did you report that blood to the authorities? Coud really help an unsolved case.
To do that would be admitting to tresspassing.
anonymously
@@catladycatlady7359 I mean technically he's already risking a trespassing charge just from posting these videos.
@@DrewsThoughts true
@@catladycatlady7359 not reporting it is a crime
I wonder if anyone watching this says “hey that was my locker” 😂😂😂
My dad was stationed at the (now defunct) Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, on the USS "Clark", from 1986 to 1989. I graduated from Central High (at the north end of the city) in 1989. The computer lab had barred doors on it like the ones shown in the video. Hard to think those computers (1st generation Macs and Apple II-E's) are long obsolete antiques by now!
Sketchy place... at least you went in as a pair. Never know what you might run into. Thanks for the video.
That graffiti is crazy. It’s everywhere. Pieces are freakin amazing too
Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love." Spent many years there. A very cool video. Thanks for posting it. It always amazes me how much valuable property is left behind and abandoned (i.e.: all the boxes of paper). Enjoy you channel greatly. Keep up the good work.
they did that much damage in 6 years. It is no wonder it closed down. My town of 700 converted the 1 room school house from the 1800s into the town hall...original floors in place.
That used to be a library now it's just a mind cemetery.
Pac!
Nice

Good call bud. :)
It just puzzles me why these buildings are not re-purposed or at least items such as doors, lockers, cabinets are not sold at auction or whomever wants to go get them. Just the slate blackboards alone are valuable
You are one warped dude. Death scene. Lol, but it was true. Yes I agree with others. That is paint. Blood turns brown.
cbearce1 THAT IS BLOOD IDIOT! HE NEEDS TO REPORT IT!
Not always
@@junedominguez2549 the best thing to do would be to report it, worst comes the worst it is fake and everything's good, on the other hand if it is real then the police now have evidence to a posible murder and somebodies family could get justice
@@Xx0ME0xX never snitch
@@theopinionist5918 nah fuck that, if i walk up on a murder scene or a dead body i'm calling the police, thats not snitching, it's reporting a crime. Idk why in hell you're trying to keep murderers from being caught but i think you've got something loose in the head because you are.
It's sad seeing all these beautiful old places broken up and tagged.
Also, the paper thing makes me really upset because many schools could be using those resources instead. Paper is a thing teachers often have to buy themselves.
Go back to the “blood” with some luminol
Don't worry about the blood. Think about the mercury on the floor from all of the busted bulbs.
😂
I'm a Trucker I'm a Caucasion by the way. I took a load in Philly once and I never want to go back again. I love Allentown, Carlise, York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lock Haven, Hazelton, Woodland, Shippensburg just to name a few
I love your vloggs! I'm so hook cause you do a awesome job, and your not rude about stuff and the way you present your videos is a really good job! Keep up the good work! You should come to Kentucky! There's alot of unusual abandon places!
Blood doesn't always turn Brown, depends on what it comes in contact with and the color of what it come in contact with, and the persons blood type can play a role as well. Certain times in my life I've seen it stay red and other reddish brown.
That is definitely dried blood. It almost looks like some sort of sacrificial rite took place there. Impossible to say if it was human or not. Dried blood has the characteristics of thick in some spots, thin and smeary in others...paint is always uniform coverage. SPOOKY
This was my high school, it’s sad to see it like this 😢
Cool vid. They could’ve turned it into a homeless shelter to help the poor or made it low income housing what a waste guess it’s all about money not about helping people
This school still has so much potential.
It’s crazy what can happen to an abandoned place in 7-8 years.
Gosh when he said he found a ‘death scene’ I thought there had been a murder 😂
Jerry Seinfeld would definitely throw out his shoes after this visit. ... lol. very cool
How cool would it be if they gave this building to the community. They could work together getting the funds after deciding what they would use if for.
Journey with Jay is a good dude!
Awww thanks, so are you well except the dude part lol
Yup he sure is I miss his vids. Wish he would make some more
@@agirlfromnewyork2074 aww you guys, I'm working on it videos will be coming back very soon.
Looks alot like some of the abandoned schools in Detroit.
But ours are more beautiful. A lot more stories to them
I think I read somewhere old dry blood would be brown from all the oxygen. That definitely looks like a crime scene though 👀
Yeah that's what I thought. Might be a trick some kids are playing on unsuspecting urbexers? Plus if it was fresh enough to still be bright red I'd expect flies all over it(?)
its dry yet its still red... i dont think its a crime scene
I was seriously waiting for a haunting voice yelling to get out! Very good video.
It's nice to watch these types of places without someone yelling BRO DID YOU SEE THAT GHOST WTF every 10 seconds
Communications Tech High, closed with around 24 other schools in 2013. Sad tbh.
That's a pretty nice auditorium. That skull on the wall in there was cool. The "blood" could have been a paint/darker wood stain. I dropped a gallon of it down my steps once and it looked the exact same. At least just tell yourself that to sleep better lol nice explore!
The Janitor needs to do a better job sweeping, Lol!!!
Why did you keep editing out footage of the wall above the bloody floor?
Because that makes for a more exciting video. You can see the color on the bottom of the board and it's definitely not blood it just looked that way all pooled up on the floor.
There could have been a swastika or something. Wouldn’t want to get demonetized
My husband sent me the link to your channel. I just subscribed yesterday. I love videos like these. I'm too afraid to check them out myself, but now I can watch them from the comfort and safety of my home. LOL Stay safe out there. Thank you for sharing.
That place was trashed big time,lots of interesting stuff though, good job Chris !
Bare footprints??? Strange indeed.
Probably a homeless person sleeping in there. Someone, possibly another homeless, attacked them while they were sleeping. Person stood up after being shot/stabbed and then what?? Scary stuff.
@@blakbanshee you the boss!
Tony Danza homeless people don’t where Tim’s tho
Anyone who thinks someone just pooled paint onto that floor doesn’t know shit about what spilled paint looks like. That was not paint, it looked more like blood. 100% blood but idk if it was real or fake. Living in the hood seeing crime scenes similar to this, I’d put my bets on that being a real crime scene. I hope he reported it... blood and then lots of women’s underwear not too far away? So sus. There’s a painful amount of women who go missing and never appear every year. Where do you think these crimes take place? Abandon houses and buildings
lovely content
I've seen so many of these 'urban exploration ' type vids on YT in the last couple years,I'm convinced that theres no more abandoned places left to go. It was inevitable that once a few people do it,then theres 15 copycats after the fact
There's tons of abandoned places left. Problem is majority of explorers go to same spots. I attempted to find unknown unique abandoned places in Japan. I think you may enjoy them
It's the same red paint that's on the wall
It could be paint made to look like a bloody scene but it looked close enough to the real thing to be a really creepy part of this video.
Dude thats like one whole humans worth of blood right there time to leave
8:07 Love the macabre sense of humor. Nicely done. That deadpan straight face delivery and the chuckle at the end was spot on.
My buddy gave me a dark room door exactly like that I put in for my bedroom door when I was a teenager.
That door was really cool!
Milford NH high school had the same darkroom door it worked great too
Dunder Mifflin paper....lol! Great as always, truly enjoy your take on things
6:59.... crime scene ..I work in forensics....be careful where you tread......I like your videos....check the records in that state... some one probably did already.
