This didn't happen On Halloween,
but it still scared me to death.
About 2 years ago
my two friends and I,
Regina and Jennifer,
drove 30 min. to another town
so Jennifer could be with her boyfriend, Tony.
We met him at an old Black School
(It was when the schools were still segregated).
Jennifer parked the car
in the school parking lot
so we could sit in the car
and play the radio or whatever
if we got bored.
She went to Tony's house,
which was a 10 minute walk away.
She promised she wouldnt be gone too long
so we didn't mind waiting for her.
We got bored in the car so we decided
to go play on the school playground.
It was a little way off from the car,
so we left her a note on the steering wheel.
It was going on 11 PM so it was dark,
but the school had 4 outside lights
that were giving us some light.
We played around for awhile
then we just sat around talking,
me on the slide,
Regina on the swings.
About 15 minutes later,
some guy walkes past the school,
dressed all in white.
We thought it was rather strange.
But it really freaked us when he got to the school,
he just disappeared.
As he disappeared
one of the lights on the school blinked off.
We were kinda scared
but not to the point where we thought about leaving.
About 5 minutes later,
the exact same thing happened.
Another guy in all white goes to the school,
vanishes,
and than the light blinks off.
At first we thought it was the same guy.
We decided to get out of there.
As we start walking away from the playground,
we turned around and glanced over our shoulders.
Now there were 2 guys in all white.
They walked to the school,
vanished,
And the light blinks out.
We ran back to the car,
locked ourselves in it,
and drove to Tonys' house.
We were terrifed!
When we got to Tony's,
he asked us what was wrong.
We told him about the men, all in white.
He said to us,
"My god you saw the McLanahan Ghosts!!"
That scared us even more.
The story as it turns out,
is about 4 men
who were accused of raping a girl.
They were lynched by the crowd
who didn't believe that they were innocent.
The school was built about 5 years later
on top of their graves.
It was closed down in 1969.
Everytime one of their ghosts went
back to their graves,
the lights would blink off.
I didnt believe Tony at first.
I thought he was trying to scare us,
but I was very intrigued.
So......
I went to the library
and looked at the micro films.
There was an actual article about the rape
in the newspaper.
And it turned out,
the 4 that were killed
( 2 of em were brothers)
were innocent after all!
Several other people have had the same experience
so I know what I saw was real.
Regina and I aren't crazy.
