For years, teachers have been spreading tales of strange noises and supernatural occurred in the school. Mysterious footsteps, ghastly music, even floating objects have allegedly b reported by faculty and maintenance staff alike. Upperclassmen have always considered th nothing more than hoaxes, yams thought up to scare timid freshmen. But one bizarre story f a credible faculty member (we'll call him Mr. Smith) interested some members of the Cl of '95. About two years ago, Mr. Smith was working in his classroom late at night grai papers. After an hour of tireless red-inking, he left his classroom to make some photocop As he was unlocking the door to the faculty lounge, he noticed someone walking down the in Hogan from the comer of his eye. Believing a fellow teacher was also working after hoi he shouted a greeting. There was no reply. Curious and confused, Mr. Smith started down hall but stopped dead in his tracks. His face turned a pallid shade of white as he watched "someone" fade into nothingness at the foot of the stairway. Puzzled, he raced down the st to the first floor. There was no one around, and all the doors were locked. He searched third floor, but there was no one around there either. Had Mr. Smith been mistaken, or he truly seen a ghost? We wanted the truth. If there was a ghost haunting Hogan, we figured it was our right know. So one night four of us stayed late pretending to finish the Community Section. 0 our advisor had retired for the evening, we embarked on our mission. We took some flashlii and walked up and down the main building. We scoured classrooms, closets, and stairways any sign ofa paranormal presence. After two hours of no re The others left to get the car, leaving me behind to lock up th the keys, I heard the hallway door creak open. Expecting to I cautiously poked my head out the office doorway. A bitterly cold draft swept something unexplainable happened. A voice cried out from behind the walls, "Help me, an eerie tone. Justifiably frightened, I ran from the hall screaming in terror. A few days later I visited Mr. Smith.
I told him about my experience, and he agreed li
something odd was residing at Prep.
Several times I went to the administration with my s t l
and each time they brushed me off.
Could this be a cover-up?
We may never know...
