It looked like some kind of school-house built at the turn of the last century, and looked as if something had bombed it or smashed into it. Only two and half walls and a partial ceiling remained. As we're nagivating up a broken section of wall and into the building itself I step on a rotten piece of floor and fall through into the basement.
This is where I was so lucky on two counts I nearly pissed myself I was so scared. One wa that the basement was full of rubble, and my ten foot fall became a two foot drop landing on my back. So as I'm laying there looking up at the stars through the hole in the floor with the GF at the time screaming, my buddies calling out trying to find me, and the dogs barking I look to my left. No more than a foot away was a mangle of rebar jutting straight up out of busted concrete. I froze in total horror and shock. One foot to the left and that fall impales me clean through the chest.
Finally my friends find me and pull me out before we run like hell to escape the dogs. I've never forgotton the look of that rebar.

Yup that is indeed a school house - there are rumors that some kids died in a fire there - but I don't know if it is true or not.
