Haunted Halls of Residence!
Kinda story and a prank!

At uni in Leceister in the early 90's, our Halls of Residence were these 4 big victorian houses which held about 20 people each - a really cool place to live! Fairly big spooky houses and 1 room had lots of wood panelling in. 1 of lads living their was convinced one night he saw something.

He woke up cold one night, looked to the end of his bed and saw a small figure about 4ft high, dressed in a robe, hood up move past the end of his bed, pause, turn it's head towards him, turn away, then continue towards the window and vanish thru the wall. He wasn't the kind to make this shit up, had never seen anything before and was TOTALLY convinced it happened - he was screaming at the time and woke his room mate! He didn't sleep properly for the rest of the term.

Anyway, cruel twunts we were, saw this as a classic time for windups, involving, but not soley being :

1) Getting the spare key, letting ourselfs into his room at 3am, hiding in a dark corner and making 'odd' noises till he woke, blatantly shitting himself - he's just run out without checking. We did this weekly.

2) Middle of the night again, Opening his curtains, moving everything out of the way and creating a 'path' to the window, as if something unnatutal had made it during the night

3) Put my coat on a coat hanger and a bit of washing line, hood up, lean out of window ABOVE said haunted room and dangle the home-made 'ghost' at his window. People heard his high pitch shriek from 2 houses up. it was a long one 2. about a minute of screaming without a breath. impressive.

4) His room was on the ground floor, nearest the house phone. We'd ring it from a phone box, just once, then hang up. or leave it off the hook... swaying....


He believed EVERYTHING

If any of you went to Demontfort Uni pre-'96 when they sold them off, the house was called 'Town End Close', you'll know what i mean

Good Night. Sleep Tight. MMWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA
