is that the school is said to be haunted. Other myths include a cannibalistic principal and janitor. Both are said to have taken victims to the boiler room. However, there is not any proof of such claims. Because of the rumors, trespassers often visit the schoolhouse "in attempts to see a ghost or spirit that haunts the abandoned building" and has become a problem for The Annie Lytle Preservation Group, the property's sole protector dedicated to saving the building. The Group stated that, "The boiler never exploded and killed kids. The janitor never killed kids...It's all nonsense. It never happened." The group also warned the people in a Facebook post in 2019 that trespassers will be arrested if caught on the property and emphasized its close partnership with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. 10 people have been arrested.
