Hide & Seek
Thanks to Stephanie Lee
When I was 15, my scout team organized a camping rehearsal at the school compound for 3 days 2 nights. On the first night, we learned many scout techniques such as making camp fire, building a camp, etc. Then on the second night which is the last day of our camping practice, at around 11.30pm (the end of the rehearsal session), we suppose to rest and sleep for the next day instructor’s presentation. However, one of my schoolmate suggested not to sleep that early as this is a very good opportunity for us to chat without parents’ interference. We chatted for about an hour and she suggested to play hide and seek as the school is the best place to play such game. Then I requested to select only one floor instead of the whole school compound. We selected Level 2 which have 15 classrooms.
There were 6 of us and one of our friend volunteered to be the seeker. When the game get started, I was hiding at one of the classrom in between the cabinet and the wall. It was dark with some very very dim lights coming from the street lights around the school compound. After a few minutes past, I heard someone running outside the room (balcony). Thinking that it may be the seeker, I sneaked out from the position I was hiding and I got a SHOCK to see a person sitting at one of the chair 6th row from the front row. Since it was so dark, I couldn’t see the face clearly. Thinking that it may be the seeker, I quickly went back to the place I am hiding. After about a minute, I tried to look out again to see whether the person is still sitting there or not, TO MY HORROR, she (yes, I can see her long hair) is now sitting in the first row with her face pointing at me. I still couldn’t see the face clearly. Thinking that it may be my friend and since she is looking at me, I surrendered myself and as her why you are sitting here. She didn’t answer. Suddently, my friend (the real seeker) ran in and say “Gotcha”, I looked at her and turned back to the seat, the person (ghost) is nowhere to be seen. I was so scared and quickly tell my friedn that i saw a girl sitting right here just now. She didn’t believe me and saying that I am trying to scare her and keep asking “Where, Where is she, don’t bluff”.
Suddently there were hands touching on our shoulders and said “ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME”, we turned back and sam a girl with her hair covering the face. We quickly ran out of the room towards the staircase to the camping area and shouted “GHOST, GHOST, GHOST”. When we reached there, the other 4 were also running back to the place. Both of us told them the story and we couldn’t sleep for the whole night.

Um, yeah, I have to say that was a prankster, considering ghosts do not normally grab you from behind and say, “Are you looking for me!?”

Commented by lisa le — January 7, 2008 @ 1:59 am
now thats what you call a real story…
Commented by Hana — January 13, 2008 @ 6:49 pm
Yeah a real FICTIONAL story. As someone who has had his fare share of encounters. Ghosts don’t act or react like that. You have it all wrong. I don’t know what age you are so I don’t want to come down on you too hard but that type of encounter just doesn’t happen outside of a cinema that happens to be showing a fairly cheesy ghost film.
I don’t know if you know that this is a lie or if you have told and retold this so many times that you actually believe it now. If this is that case, trust me;
It didn’t happen.

that’s really scary..that’s why you should not play hide and seek during night time

I have to admit, asian ghosts are heaps scarier than australian ones. But then agaain, you guys have thousands of years worth of history and white aussies only have a few hundred years. That would scare the daylights outta me. The story itself is creepy enough – don’t you kids watch horror movies?! No nighttime games, no splitting up, and for goddess’ sake – do not approach creepy person you are not sure is your friend!!!

i was very scared at the part when the ghost was looking at her i wonder ho she was was she realy a ghost or a little girl did she die there thers an answer to everithing but not to this”do ghosts exist”?
Commented by Dado — June 3, 2012 @ 10:01 pm
Yeah.. This is fake .. Made up story.
Commented by Tori — February 18, 2013 @ 8:25 am
I find it fake clearly by one reason: when the girl said: “Were you looking for me?”, I clearly said: Fake”. There is no way a ghost or spirit would tell you that; it sounds like the author wanted the ghost to be somehow “playful”? That is a hard-to-believe story

Really SCARY!
