“Hey wake up! You will be late for school” said my mother as she wakes me up. I yawned and got out of bed. I freshened up and went to have breakfast. As I went down to my school-van I thought it was great to be back at school with all my friends but I was wrong; because that very day the ghost of our school made an appearance. In the morning, it seemed very normal to be back at school. In this busy state, everything was normal until tiffin break time. We went to the chapel to play where we found a crowd around the door which connected the playground in front of the school gate and the chapel. They said, “we hear noises coming from that door, we think that there is a ghost”. Almost all of our class were there. My friend said, “ Let’s hear the ghost or whatever it is. You look out from the keyhole while I put my ear near the door and try to hear the ghost”. So that we did. I looked out from the keyhole; nobody was there but my friend said running, “it was a horrifying voice… it said ‘who are you? What are you doing in my school?’ As we found out later or as we thought so our school has more than one ghosts. Now back to the story. I thought it was very horrifying but it was only the beginning for the days of horror that would lie in wait for us.
We started to investigate. Again, in the chapel something happened. There were spaces of something in the chapel where we rest sometimes and relaxed. My friend once did that. After coming out of that space, she said, ‘my breath stopped and I only escaped narrowly’. Then, suddenly we thought that a painting moved and then we saw paintings and statues moving in our school. It was not very pleasant to think that our school has ghosts.
Then slowly we forgot about it. Afterwards, some of our class saw ghosts. It was rather peculiar that, quite by chance, we found a name of a ghost. It was Saint Jo. We think he was killed in a bomb accident in Mexico trying to make a school for boys and we rather think Saint Joseph’s came from Saint Joe. Quite creepy right? All kinds of rumours and tales came on this Ghost Quest thingy. My friend said our school is made on a graveyard. Another one said I saw this and that and this and that now believe it or not I saw something myself too. I saw smoke came out of simply no where was both mysterious and very creepy. It seems that smoke came out of simply thin air now with this thing and that thing some very peculiar things began to happen.
Three of my friends received the messages or keys marked ‘the four friends’. Now I said, three right? Who was the fourth then? Well, that was me. I did not receive anything but it was me. I don’t know how. There wasn’t any word to explain this. This was the last thing we have seen of The Ghost. Now, at the chair room in our school we had sounds and one chair turned clockwise by itself. Then we received messages written in blood. Then the sisters said not to enter the room. The sisters and teachers kept an eye on us and didn’t let us enter the room. So even the teachers believed in this ghost thing! And I, for one, believe there is something going on. Because even there are videos that shows there is a ghost in our school. This is most peculiar what we got no, for the sign of this ghost thing it is very mysterious and peculiar but no further signs of this ghost.
