Stories full of ghosts and spirits characterize irrational fears and Halloween celebrations. Though the debate if ghosts are real or not is another story, most people have a spooky tale they’ve heard or experienced. Junior Olivia Szaj, sophomore Aten-Wa Theba, 9th graders Emma Krienke and Cooper Olsen, and senior Jackson Small shared their most memorable ghost stories.
Tap tap on the cabin window
Junior Olivia Szaj recounts a ghost story from nearly a decade ago:
“Okay, so I was at camp one year, and we were telling ghost stories in the cabin because that’s what you do at camp at night. So, we heard like this very light tapping out the window, and it scared us very very badly, but it kept happening every time we got to a really scary part of the story. We went outside and [found out] it was one of the boys cabins, and then we were yelling at them for a while about it. But, we found out they had only tapped on the window three times but we had heard it at least seven [times]. That was super sketch, kind of, anti-climactic but that’s my ghost story. [The ghost story] was about a couple campers who went missing one year. It was about like this weird screaming that’s always heard on the athletic field at night. I thought I heard screaming, but it probably just cuz I was scared,” Szaj said.
