the country and abroad magazine has a history of Millbrook in a recent issue. Horses and dogs on the cover. Includes history of Bennett School.

Reminds a bit of that scene in Metropolis when the elevators were crashing...awesome pic

This is still such a beautiful treasure. I wonder if anyone has an update.

Hi STUEY !

Okay kids, I want you to go in that building and look for a ghost. You can't come back until you bring a ghost in for show and tell. Ten kids walked in, none came out.

To be continued...

It was never sold, and I go past it regularly. Everytime I see it my heart sinks. It is a breathtaking building. There has to be something that could be done to save it. I really think we should try to gather support to renovate it. They want condos? Why can't this beautiful piece of architechture serve as condos? Why must it be ripped down and replaced? If the building was renovated, the apartments would sell for more, anyway. SO what does eveyone think?

Although it makes for interesting gossip, it's pretty much baloney. No suicides, and no professors creating acid (why bother when Timothy Leary was just down the road!) As for being haunted...that's best left to personal opinion, but I can say I've NEVER gotten any eerie or creepy vibes anytime I've been in Bennett. Although that could just be because the "spirits" know my intentions are pure -- aka, to admire this amazing place, not vandalize and destroy every nook and cranny as so many idiots have done over the years.

i have a question..how come everyone says that this building is haunted..teh story i was told was that some girl hung herself and one of the professors created acid and gave drugs to the girls...is this true?

Man, my folks would never of taken me there as a kid, i was right into old spooky stuff and ghost n stuff from a young age, I wouldve taken off to check the building out!

i feel really bad that this place is selling for $4 million dollars... it should be on the historic places list.... i think our kids would probably love to see this... it seems haunted.... i think think the banks should buzz off of this place and let people preserve its worth... $4 million is not enough money for this place... no amount of money should be able to purchase this place to demolish it... people are dumb and arrogant.... this place is a beautiful mysterious part of Millbrooks past.

by the way .. on the way out we saw a bunch of keys, so we took them. you could see the burn marks on the metal. its creepy. i still have mine.

for room 414.

me and a group of friends were there 2 nights ago and we got inside through the window ... we went to the 4th floor which is the end .. the floor was caving in so we went to the 3rd, and of course nobody could have gotten up or down without us hearing/seeing. when we were on the 3rd floor everybody shut up and we heard 3 heavy footsteps...when i say heavy i mean basically stomping. so us girls [lol] got scared and cried..so we left. then i was there again last night .. and we saw a light in two of the windows on the side of the turret. somebody saw us who lived in the house in front of it or something so we ran to our car. when we were drivin down the road to go home a state trooper FLEW past us. wow we just got away. it was amazing though.

imGonna go streeeeaking in that school so im the first persoon to go streaking in it haunted =]

Here's something odd. The playgrounds that the children play on, on some of the Army bases look very preety much like this playground.

Way too much plastic if you ask me !
