James Martin School

: "This used to be a hospital and nursing school.. and at times you could see bloody hands and people in the mirrors.

A mental patient went crazy and through himself out the window. 3. Mental patients went up into the attic and slit each others wrist. They ARE all possible reasons BUT there is something there AND THEY are all the reason for the man or woman in the window."
