The first school was built in 1898 and replaced in the 1900s by a two-story brick one. For several generations the old brick school has sat abandoned beside the road. Emblazoned across its entrance is the name POPASH, strangely the letters are still bright as new after all these years. Sitting under moss-drenched oaks, it is an inviting sight for any ghost hunter and this place is not without its ghost legend. Some people have claimed that the building was once a hospital and that it is haunted by children who died from a fever epidemic; however, there is no evidence that it was ever used for any purpose other than a school. Another legend has it being built on the site of an original wooden school that burned-down claiming the lives of several children. There is no evidence to support that story either. Of course, it could still be haunted. |
