Jamie and West parked on a dirt road half a mile from the school, tucked behind a stand of pine trees that blocked the car from view.
What led Jamie and West to explore Fuller-State Academy?
Not that anyone was likely to come by. They were 40 minutes outside the city, in a part of the county that was mostly farmland and forest, and the occasional collapsed barn. People out here minded their own business because there wasn't any other business to mind. Jamie quickly hopped out and grabbed his backpack from the trunk. Inside were flashlights, batteries, a six-pack of PBR, a first aid kit he'd never used, and a granola bar he'd forgotten about three weeks ago. All important supplies. West stepped out and was already on his phone, scrolling intently. listen to this west said he was already walking away from the car not waiting for jamie to catch up classic west this guy on reddit says he went to fuller state last year and heard crying coming from the basement like actual crying a kid crying sick jamie replied he didn't mean it
And then, this is the best part, he says he went down to check it out and there was nothing there, just empty rooms. But when he played back the video he'd been recording on his phone, you could actually hear the crying on the audio. And did he post the video? Nah, that's the thing. He says the file got corrupted. Convenient. Chill with the skeptic stuff, dude. It kills the vibe. The night was clear and cold, autumn settling into the valley. The moon was a sliver, barely there. You could see your breath a bit if you stood still long enough. Jamie could hear their footsteps crunching on gravel, the distant sound of a truck on a highway somewhere, nothing else. Fuller State School sat at the end of a long road that had been reclaimed by weeds and saplings, its dark, monolithic silhouette rising against the sky.
Three stories of dark brick, the windows boarded up or broken, the roof sagging in places. It looked exactly like what it was, a building that had been left to rot for 30 years. Okay, okay, here's more history, West said, still scrolling. Fuller State Approved School, founded in 1952 by Harold Fuller and Raymond State. No state affiliation, it's just their names, which is actually kind of genius marketing if you think about it, made it sound official. Jamie raised an eyebrow. What was it approved for? Rich people dumping their problem kids, I guess. Listen. West's voice mimicked a documentary narrator. Students came from extremely wealthy families who had the means to essentially warehouse their mentally ill children without formal diagnosis.
The school operated with minimal oversight until 1987, when it was abruptly shut down following allegations of abuse. Allegations, eh? That's what it says. But get this. When the Fuller State approved school closed, some parents never came back for their kids. The ones who couldn't be rehomed in other facilities were just... released, just opened the doors and sent them on their way. And it's believed some of the students never really left. Jamie felt a familiar tightness in his chest. This was the part he didn't like. The part where the history got dark and the building stopped being just a building. West loved this stuff. He fed on it. In West's eye, it gave urban exploration more stakes. But that kind of defeated the purpose of urbex in Jamie's eyes.
It's about appreciating what was left behind, not celebrating whatever fucked up shit did or didn't happen. Plus, Jamie didn't exactly have nerves of steel like West. You good? West asked. He stopped walking and was looking at Jamie, half with concern and half amusement. Jamie was used to that look. Yeah, I'm good. You've got that look. Dude, come on.
