A
former school in Carlinville, Illinois, has gone viral after a disturbing image was shared online, sparking speculation that the property is "haunted." The 28,656-square-foot building, which was built in 1938 and features 56 bedrooms, is on the market for $1 million. While the listing highlights the "fresh paint" and "changed flooring" in several units, it's a blood-red splatter stain on the floor of one of two coin-operated laundry rooms that has caught internet users' attention.

    The image shows a decrepit laundry room with peeling paint, old machines, and a tangle of cords. Some people were convinced that the red stain was evidence of a dark past, while others suggested it might be just spilled paint. The building's traditional look, complete with a brick exterior and wide central staircases, only adds to its eerie atmosphere.

    Despite some users' concerns about the property's history, others pointed out that the splatter could easily be explained as paint. One person joked that the building would make a perfect setting for a horror movie or TV show, while another noted that it didn't look like an apartment building at all. The listing notes that the investment property is a revenue-generating machine with little to no vacancy.

    The property boasts 56 bedrooms, 24 baths, and 28,656 square feet of space across two buildings. It sits on a 0.82-acre lot in historic Carlinville, just 40 miles from Springfield. The listing notes that the units have been remodeled about 20 years ago and are well kept with full occupancy. With net operating income calculated to be $104,072 after expenses, the investment seems like a decent one.
