« Go Back

The Ghost of Dorm 10.
I used to go to boarding school and it was just after lights out and the dorm as pretty empty as a lot of the kids had gone home for the weekend.
I seem to recall that there were only four of us there that night and one of the guy had the bright idea of doing a séance.

As I remember it I was the one that wasn’t interested, where all the others were eager to participate. In the end I bowed to peer pressure and too part reluctantly. First of all we had to agree on whom we were to try and contact and we soon agreed on King Ethelwolf , he had been buried in the 4th century chapel that was now part of the building we were in before being relocated to Winchester Cathedral, I digress.

Anyway the ringleader informs us that whatever we do we’re not meant to break the circle. So we’re all being very sombre and séancing away like good little séancers and one guy suddenly shouts ‘Ow!’ and breaks the circle. No one really wants to continue and we sojourn to bed.
After about five minutes the light comes on. How this isn’t remark able in itself but there is one bunk bed by the pull switch, the top bunk is empty and the bottom is my bed. I know that no one has got out of bed as the floorboards had been there for about 200 years and creak. Not believing that it was not me that turned it on the guys tell me it’s not funny, they’re not falling for it and that I should turn it back off, which I do.

About two minutes later the light turns on, again my dorm mates do not believe that it wasn’t me and things pretty much go as before expect I’m about 5mm from touching cloth. The light stays off and this time a wash bag flies off the shelf by the sink, no one nearby and the light turns on.

This time there we poo ourselves in four part harmony.
We come to a sensible, rational and effective solution to our dilemma and I turn off the lights and dive for the impenetrable fortresses of our collective duvets. Yes again the light comes on and this time from Castle Duvet I see a shirt flapping on the floor and it looks like there’s it’s being pulled apart like a woolly jumper.

Abandoning Castle Duvet I decide the only option is to run into the safety of the dorm next door. There is only one person in there, as I said earlier it was the weekend, I’m shaking like a leaf and babbling semi-coherently about us going a séance and there being a poltergeist in my dorm and that there was no fucking way I was going back in there.

So basically there ya go. Proof such things do exist. It confirm it the guys in my dorm decide that they’ll join me in the dorm but only to tell be that they’d planned the entire event. The light pull cord, the wash bag and the shirt had all been attached to fishing line. The thread that saw being pulled from the shirt was my imagination and was just the line they’d used to move it. They were almost wetting themselves and I was still shaking for about half an hour later. I hadn’t noticed the line as when they’d finished rigging everything up they got straight into bed and when I arrived after my shower they told me to turn the light off as they all wanted an early night. The utter, utter, utter, utter bastards. Still I see the funny side now. What a prank!
