[Claire's Experience]

This would be my last experience in my four years of high school.

This last experience happened in Senior Year.

........................

        Two of my friends, Nicole, Valerie and I would talk at our usual spot. At the side of the computer lab on the third floor; it's because our classroom was also on the third floor, and it was the closest area to our room.

        The computer lab would be on the North side of the hallway. On the South was the Science Laboratory; the East would be the open hallway leading to other classrooms; and on the West side would be the dead end. But there would be stairs leading to the second and first floor, but it's also locked behind bars so that students wouldn't use the stair case.

        Us three friends would usually stay by the dead end of the hallway to talk. We were also like vampires, we hated the sun on our skin and in our eyes.

Our topic, the movie 'Paranormal Activity 4'. Such an amazing topic in an amazing dark place right?

        After a while of still talking about the horror movie, the flourescent lamp of the stair case flickered and then stayed on. We stared at each other, fear was written on our faces and our legs were screaming, "GET UP AND RUN STUPID!"

        We all hurriedly ran away from the area. Valerie was tripping from fear, and we lost our breath when we arrived at the classroom. Our classmates didn't mind us, cause they thought we were just playing games.

I peeked outside our classroom door and stared at the locked staircase. --- The light was off!

        All three of us then slowly approached the area. I searched for the light's switch. I found it! I tried switching it on, and it turned on! I switched it back off again after. We all began to wonder why?

        It was already set on the off switch, so why did it turn on? I don't really believe it was technical difficulties or power problems. The light would flicker when on the 'on' side, but it was on the 'off' side. We ran through thoughts and concluded it was an electrical problem.

        I then clutched the bars of the gate which prevented students from using the stairs. I stared below and saw a white figure. I had goosebumps. I concluded that I was seeing things, and the three of us went back to our classroom and talked about a different topic. This time, it wasn't about horror...
