Hi. This happened to me back in high school, back when the
Beatles were casting their magic on schoolgirls.
I was a junior in high school and it was this year when
tragedy struck Union High when one of our beloved faculty
members passed away. She was deeply loved by her colleagues
and students. Her name is Mrs. Hernandez. It is also after
her passing when strange things started happening to our
school.
I’m friends with our maintenance people there and I would
often hang out with them after school, they told me this
incident:
The faculty staff were on overtime, they were
finishing the grades for that semester. When it was already
dark, the lights went out, one faculty member, Mrs.
Sanchez, the principal’s secretary was left behind by her
colleague Ms. Cruz in the dark in search of a candle. As
she was waiting in her office, another colleague went
inside the office with a lighted candle. Mrs. Sanchez
thanked her so much saying she was starting to get scared
of the dark. Her colleague then left her the candle and
went away. It was then when Ms. Cruz returned and asked
where the lighted candle came from. When Mrs. Sanchez
answered who gave it to her, Ms. Cruz couldn’t believe it
because that faculty member is out of town and hadn’t come
back. Mrs. Sanchez insisted that she saw who she saw and
after searching the whole building, she was then convinced
that she talked to a ghost that looked like her colleague.
I experienced this one first hand;
I was outside our clinic, which was beside the stairs, I had heard a lot of
spooky tales about the flight of stairs. Ever since Mrs.
Hernandez passed away, people started meeting accidents
there, well that’s what I heard, I really didn’t believe in
it until that day.
As I said I was outside our clinic,
reading something when I noticed this girl coming down from
the stairs, there was nothing different or foreboding about
her which made me forget about her as quickly as I noticed
her. I went back to my reading then all of a sudden I heard
a shrill cry, and a massive thud. I looked at the stairs
and there was the same girl I saw not two seconds ago, all
slumped and in pain at the foot of the stairs, she was
holding her leg up, the staff in the clinic rushed to her
right away, it looked to me like she broke if not sprained
something. I heard the staff questioning her what happened
and I heard her say ‘I felt something grab hold of my
ankle, so I fell.’
I don’t know but the hair on the back of my neck just
started to rise! The stairs were solid concrete, they
weren’t steep, and they weren’t the kind of stairs that had
spaces in between them and there was no where anyone could
have hid to play a prank on her. Besides, I saw her coming
down the stairs alone. There wasn’t anybody there.
Accidents happened often at those flight of stairs, people
feel that they are pushed, shoved, or something grabs hold
of their leg causing them to move and lose their balance,
some say they feel an overwhelming feeling there, like a
thick something embracing them, and before they know it,
they’re falling.
When the accident rate grew higher, the
school was smart enough to seal off that part of the
building. They refused to say why they did but those of us
who knew, didn’t need an explanation. They changed the name
of the high school over the years but those who went
there before know what school I’m talking about.
Those stairs were still sealed off when I graduated, that
was years ago… I don’t know if they have opened it now.
