College Ghost

[Stephen]

The college I'm doing my degree in, at Newton-le-Willows is suppose to have a ghost. All through the last year the door to the classroom I was in kept closing on it's own, even though a table was stopping it!

Every time this happened my tutor said it's that ghost again! At the time I didn't think anything of it, I thought he was just saying it for a joke, until I started back this year and another tutor told the class of a ghost that inhabited the basement of the college!

It had been encountered many times by the cleaners who had reported that they felt that they where not alone or were being watched! Some had even said they had seen something!!!

My tutor ended by saying it's not the sort of thing he wanted to think about because when he worked late he was the only one left in the building!!

Who the ghost is nobody knows, but the building is very old, so it is possible that somebody from it's past still walks it's corridors today!

Here is something else spooky that happened one day at college. We were having a tutorial about something or other when the tutor passed around a piece of paper for everyone to sign as a sort of register.

Before we left for break he did a head count to make sure the names tallied up? When he did this, there was an extra name on the list. He asked had somebody left, but they hadn't, then he asked everyone to check their names on the list. Sure enough there was an extra name on the list, a name that nobody had heard of before.

Of course the first thing that was said is “Who was messing about!” and “if there was a fire then somebody would be looking for this mystery person!” But the name appeared in-between two of the older members of the class and they both swore that they didn't write it.

When we looked at the name it was both old fashioned and unusual, I can't remember exactly what it was, but it wasn't something that you would see everyday. Also the handwriting was very fancy, and it looked like it had been written with a fountain pen, something that nobody in the class had! In fact most didn’t have a bloody biro, let alone anything better! By this time, everybody was getting a bit freaked out by it. Even the tutor began to say, “It's that bloody ghost I'm telling you!!!”

I don't know if it was an elaborate hoax or not, but to this day people still talk about it and nobody has owned up to it?
