MGS Ghosts

A/N: Well, since I'm in the mood for ghosts and whatever else, I thought I might put down some true stories me and a few bunch of friends had.

The Ghosts of Methodist Girls School, Klang

Our school, also known as MGS Klang, was used once before to harbor wounded Japanese soilders during the Japanese occupation in Malaysia. At least that's what all the teachers tell us. The Primary School was the place where they kept the wounded, and the Secondary school where the soilders stayed.

Our school, like other Missonary Schools were runned by nuns, though that time is over now. And lots of stuff happened during the Japanese Occupation.

Starvation, sickness, extreme injuries and suicide were common at that time, and the nuns buried the dead right in our school field. Behind the Primary school is a little garden where we as little kids liked to dare each other to go for fun. There's a grave there, though the words are faded, and it's still there to this day (Me and two other good friends went to take a look at it again to spook ourselves) . There's also a jambu, banana and plam tree, where it's fabled to have a penunggu/pontianak and langsuir (watchman/vampires). None of us know how true is that, but we never stick around to see for ourselves, especially at 7:00pm!

The corridor behind my ex-class connects to the Primary School classes, and it's shady and dark, perfect for a horror movie setting, my friend once said. My ex-class however, has tiny baby-feet imprints that appear in the middle of the class, and go all around it (the middle only), with no sign of the tracks going in or going out. According to the old gardener the school has, that corridor behind our class was a place where young girls that were raped by the Japanese used to hang themselves... and some of them were pregnant too! That accounts for the small footprints in our class.

I was witness to a possession as well. It happened when I was in Std. 5, (nine years old at that time), and the girl who was possessed was in Std. 3. She was in class, when out of the blue, she started screaming hysterically and yelling in another language. Everyone was scared, and though the teachers tried to restrain her to a pole, she flung them off easily, all the while shouting stuff in Japanese. They finally had to call her parents and a bomoh (witch doctor) to help her.

Could it have been the spirit of a Japanese soilder disturbed? (shivers)

There are other stories of spirits going around the third block, which is rather deserted, and more than one girl who stayed back for camp ran into a woman dressed in white in our school toilets at night. Then there's the popular story about the piano in the hall playing on it's own, and figures walking the corridors.....

I've never experienced this first-hand (Except for the possession part and the grave thingy), but these came from workers that have been working at the school for more than 30 years. To believe or not to believe, that's the question. As for me... I believe it.
