Exploring a 1920s High School - Abandoned Minnesota

In this explore we travel to a remote town on the outskirts of Minnesota, where a high school from the late 1920's early 30's still stands. The original high school sits surrounded by additional school buildings that were constructed around the 1950's. The final graduating class walked down these halls for the last time in 1987. In the early 2000's the buildings were purchased by a Jewish camp where they ran the facility for a few years before abruptly abandoning it.
Now this place of the past sits wasting away in the middle of town as a reminder of a different time and era.
When we arrived we were most fascinated with the architecture and decay of the original building, but after exploring and being inside of the whole complex we came out with the feeling of something strange was going on after the sun goes down. While editing this video we had trouble using footage from the gym because it was to glitched and distorted out. Some footage blank with no audio or video captured at all, just a recording of nothing. Normally we do not go chasing the paranormal, but in this video it unexpectedly came to us.

    I went to school there in 91. When they first combined all the surrounding towns to make 1 school district. Sad to see that state it was in, but also brought back alot of memories, and memories of the rooms n teachers that I was able to distinguish. At the beginning, when you went up the two steps, before the bigger set, that use to be the library & computer rooms. The cafeteria use to over look the gym, that wall was never there. Those 1st blue lockers, aren't the original lockers, they replaced the originals in like 93 or 94.
