An urban explorer has shared what remains of an abandoned high school which freaked out viewers compared to Netflix hit Stranger Things.

Aiden Bross, 20, bravely stepped inside the creepy building, which looked like something from the movie's alternative dimension known as 'Upside Down.'

He initially thought the eerie property, previously known as Schiller Park Middle School, was haunted after a rock flew through the window.

The derelict building, which is located in Buffalo, New York, was unknowingly left to rot in 1998.

Inside the middle school featured an ancient gymnasium, flooded classrooms and damp peeled walls.

Aiden, who goes by @aidenbross on the platform, shared footage from his visit in April, which has since amassed over 665,000 views.

The bank teller told NeedToKnow.co.uk: “The atmosphere, in my opinion, was nostalgic in a way.

“Although I never went to that school, as I walked those hallways, I could almost picture in my head everybody walking to class.

“And just going about their day-to-day routine in that building at one point in time.

“It was a spot that we had known about for a bit but had just gotten over to explore,

“It was actually my first time exploring abandoned school so the adrenaline rush was awesome and it definitely gave that new adventurous feeling.”

While searching the grounds a rock flew through the window, nearly hitting Aiden.

“When we got in there, we were actually taken by surprise when a rock came flying through the gym window,” he said.

Showing off the classrooms, the desks and chairs seem to have been tossed around and broken with graffiti covering the walls.

The cafeteria is then shown, which even had football tables left behind.

The post, captioned: “Would you go to school here?”, gathered over 63,500 likes as well as hundreds of comments from shocked users.

Giuliana said: “Class of 1984.”
