Now everyone enjoys a good ghost story and I once heard this amazing ghost story and well I have never been able to find where it came from and it's been awhile but here I'll go off of memory. Enjoy!
Going to an all girls school was always a bit mundane and Cheryl wanted to shake things up and cause a bit of a stir so she and her roommate, Sarah, went exploring in the basement of their dorms, where it was rumored to be haunted. They were definitely dark and musty and a tad creepy but it was nothing but a basement. It was full of old furniture covered in white sheets and dust.
"There is nothing interesting down here Cheryl, lets go. My allergies aren't very fond of the dust." Sarah whined and glanced back to the steps. When she looked back to where Cheryl was she had disappeared. "Cheryl?" Sarah hesitantly stepped forward, a little bit further into the darkness. Her hands were clenched together as she took another step and managed to stutter out, "Cheryl, this isn't funny?" A lump began to form in her throat as she tensed and side-stepped and hit something solid. She jumped only to find it was a small table under a very grey sheet. On top of that table was a brown box not nearly as coated in dust as the rest of the furniture. Sarah stepped forward to get a closer only to get a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She flailed her arms and screamed. Her butt ended up on the very grey sheet and slapping at Cheryl who was giggling with glee. "You jerk! UGH" Sarah put her hand to her chest and slowed her breathing. Cheryl was still giggling and holding her stomach.
"So what did you find?" Cheryl asked still giggling a bit and looking around Sarah to the table. " A mysterious box, ooooh." She wiggled her eyebrows and picked it up. "Let's get out of here, I need some serious tissues."
Once they got to their room they set the box on the floor and changed for bedtime then sat upon their beds looking at it, Sarah being hesitant and Cheryl being her usual inquisitive self.
"Well, its not gonna bite so let's open it and take a peak." Cheryl said, speaking with her eyebrows. she jumped off her bed and open the box only to find a board with letters sprawled all over and on the top it read "Ouija Board".
"Okay, well we know what it is... now can we just put it back?" Sarah whispered and only glancing at the board.
"NO? Oh my god, this is going to be so fun." Cheryl laughed and stood up and ran out the door. She knocked on all the girls door in her hall and returned with three other girls, Liz, Anne, and Lisa. "Okay girls, gather round." Cheryl gestured around the newfound board. The four girls sat, Cheryl looked up at Sarah, "You gonna join?" Sarah just puffed out her breath and sat beside Lisa. "Okay, now girls no cheating. Gently place your fingers on the glass thing and I'll ask the questions." Cheryl smiled with delight and wiggled her but excitedly. All the girls placed two fingers gently on the eye and took a few deep breaths with smiles touching there lips.
"Is anyone here with us?" Cheryl asked, her smile still on her lips. She looked at the eye expectantly as it sat still. "Can you hear me?" Her smile fading just a tinge. Just as Cheryl took a deep breath to ask another question the eye twitched towards the top corner which read yes but didn't quite touch it. "You can hear me?" Her smile was back completely. This time it pulled all the girls to the yes and all the girls gave a sharp inhale and were looking at each other and Cheryl was eyeing all the other girls.
"This isn't funny Cheryl," Sarah whispered like there was someone listening and all the other girls were looking at Cheryl, agreeing with Sarah.
"Fine, we're done then." Cheryl snapped and stood, leaving all the others on the ground, fingers still on the eye. They all pulled away at the same time quickly, like the board was diseased and exhaled like they had all been holding their breath.
"Well good night then." Liz said over her shoulder on her way out and the other two girls waved and left just as quickly.
"Was that you? Please say it was you?" Sarah asked pleading Cheryl to say yes.
"Maybe it was maybe it wasn't?" Cheryl folded her shaking hands behind her knowing damn well it hadn't been her. "Shut off the light, I'm tired" Cheryl jumped into her bed with her back turned to her roommate and curled under her blankets. It had gotten so cold in there room all of a sudden.
Sarah had turned out the light and went to her bed. They both sat awake, swearing there was shuffling going on through out their room like someone was pacing back and forth. Cheryl quickly jumped out of bed and turned on the light to only find Sarah in her bed with her blanket up to her nose.
"Okay, well that wasn't funny Sarah!" Cheryl exclaimed with a shaky voice.
"What?" Sarah turned with tears welling up in her eyes, "I was hoping to god it was you." She sniffled and wiped her nose on her sleeve.
Cheryl then looked to the board. She threw it in the box and then into her bag. She stepped away from it and looked back at Sarah. Cheryl didn't say anything. She just turned out the light and curled into bed with Sarah. They both fell asleep that night but there was still that same shuffling through their room and they could even feel someone sit on the bed they were both laying on...
To be continued...
