My Primary School Haunting
I must of been about nine or ten. It was a rainy mid morning and I was on my morning play break at My Primary school. As it had been raining earlier that day we children were forbidden to play on the grass. I really wanted to play in my tree on the other side of a hilled field, so when my teachers were distracted elsewhere i quickly ran across and hid in my tree.
The tree was against a fence and on the other side of the fence there was a big tower block of flats… I soon began to hear screaming and yelling coming from the top floor, as i tried to see what was going on i saw a man and a woman fighting, they were pushing and shoving one another. Then before you knew it, she pushed him so hard that he went over the balcony and plummeted to his death.
It’s was a sensation that i had never felt before, it was like i came out of my body, i had acknowledged what had just happened i just couldn’t process it… It didn’t feel real, the blood, the noise i just didn’t react… Then the school bell rang… immediately i climbed down from the tree, ran across the field and into my classroom.
I told my friend what i had saw, but she was disbelieving and thought i was just trying to scare her. . . that was until a police officer came to the classroom to ask if anyone had seen anything. Her jaw dropped, and it was good to get clarification that what i saw was real. I did not come forward, I did not know what to say, but from my childhood i came to know its best to say nothing at all.
A few weeks had passed. When halfway through my lesson i asked to go use the bathroom. When i got there i was reminded of what i had seen that day, for some reason it had been plaguing me. I went to was my hands when all of a sudden, the toilet doors behind me began to swing… i turned around in disbelief of what the mirrors were showing me. Then all the taps turned on...i didn’t know whether i was dreaming or if it was real… I was being haunted by this man. I went to run out when another girl from another class had come in. It was clear by her eyes that she saw what i saw, we both ran back to our classes.
Some time had passed, and i had spent many times trying to convince myself to confront the lady from the top floor block of flats. My Friend at the time also lived in those flats but a few floors down. So when i would go visit, after school on play dates...i would go sit outside the ladies door. When one day she came out and sullenly asked me why i keep coming up here. I ran back down to my friends flat below.
A few more weeks later, i was round my friends flat again, and she was telling me about a scary movie she saw ‘’candyman’’, she told me that when you say his name three times he comes out to get you. I asked if she tried it and if it works? She said she hadn’t. Later when it was time for me to go home, my mom waited for me at the bottom (ground floor) and my friend was allowed to come with me and come straight back up.
So we got in the elevator, now this elevator had mirrors everywhere!!! So of course my friend had to dare me to say candyman… So i did, and by the third candyman, the lift stopped, the lights went out and we began to scream our heads off. I honestly thought that it had worked, and that candyman was going to get us, and kill us… I was so scared, i thought i was about to die! We were both crying, panicking, screaming that we took it back! the lights flickered back on, it was far more dimly lit now, like it would be if there was a fire and the way emergency lighting is. Then the control panel began flashing, secting all the floors… after the lift began to move, but not down, it went up! I began to start thinking of that man that was murdered, and i was fearing that the crazy lady who killed him would be there waiting for us… It went all the way to the top floor before the doors finally opened….
And there she was!!! The horror on our faces we screamed even more loudly than before… and we ran past and down the stairs!!! All the way down to the bottom. My friends mom had to come down to get her, neither me or my friend got in the elevator again. My mom of course did not believe either of us, both my mom and my friends mom just thought we were playing games and being melodramatic.
It turns out that a few years after that incident that crazy lady, was actually crazy, she was trying to kill people with an AXE!!! She was put in prison and that was the end of her.
Please do share with me any scary stories you have, find me on YouTube, Twitter and of course facebook.
