In reply to the discussion: DU is a good place to ask this: how many people here believe they have encountered a ghost? [View all]OldBaldy1701E
(5,810 posts)To be honest, I do not recall any specifics mentioned by others who said they had seen or heard something at the school. I do know a former employee there often told the story about one time going into the area that became my office and witnessing a teacher's desk chair spinning around under its own power for a few minutes.
However, most of the students did not believe any of this. Mainly due to this one time where the eighth level students had a Halloween party one Friday evening in their classroom and the Operations manager and myself put a small speaker in the ceiling by the bathroom so that we could mess with the students as they came and went. After that, they all decided that we were just pulling their chain and there was nothing there. I was kind of glad about this, as a few of the students had expressed a very high level of 'freakout' on the topic. I always hoped the spirits in the school also knew this and tried not to scare the students.
(A non-related story that this made me recall. We had a new clock system installed one year in which all the clocks were wirelessly kept on the same time. Included in this were new clocks in the hallways. These were digital, as opposed to the analog ones in each classroom. But they were also kind of boxy and stuck out from the wall. Some of the students were asking me about the new clocks and I had a brainstorm. Without actually saying this, I implied that the new clocks also had cameras in them. Suddenly there was a major drop in hall incidents. When the boss found out, he decided to just leave it alone. I did not ever say there were cameras in the clocks, I just sort of hinted that 'we could see more now'. LOL.)
