The Haunted History of Highlands Intermediate
By Alayna Sambrano
*all the stories below are real*
It's that time of year again, when little kids dress up and get super hyper with the trick or treat candy they snagged from their local neighborhood. Also, it's that time when a very energetic place comes alive with spooky-tacular fun! Yes, the haunted house that Highlands puts on every year is coming but something more than that. The Highlands for many many years have had spiritual activity. Not only the BOO! Scares but the ghost scares. Yes you heard me correctly GHOST are present in Highlands Intermediate. You may think that Highlands is not haunted anymore from the great Lopaka Kapanui coming to chase away the ghosts. But you would have to find out for yourself!
On your normal daily basis of being in highlands you might think it's your average middle school. BUT it's way more than that, Little ghost boys being rascals and playing with teachers stuff when less expected to old fellow teachers who came back to haunt their classrooms. You never know what's gonna happen next. But I'll tell you all of these stories, so you'll be ready for the next ghost you meet eyes with.
The tale of the people in the roofs: I was in class in D building doing the SBA test and it was quiet as a mouse. Then out of nowhere THUMP everyone looked around curiously. The thump sounded like an elephant having a dance party up stairs. Then we went back to work. But again THUMP DRAG THUMP DRAG. It sounded like this ‘ghost’ was carrying a dead body. My teacher went to go talk to the teacher up stairs during recess and the teacher was taking the SBA test too. So what does that mean? A ghost! The other day my teacher was putting something on the roof of their class room and they saw human-like eyes staring at them.
The mystery caller: this was actually a week or two ago. I was in the student council room building the haunted house when the phone rang too many times to count. Then we had enough and my friend answered “hi this is the student council room how may i help you?”
“Oh hi uhm you called me so i called you back?” said the teacher on the other side of the phone. My friend sat there surprised and super confused. Then my friend called the facilitator of the student council and they picked up the phone and said “ oh i'm sorry but i didn't call you at all no one was near the phone at all”. Both of the teachers were confused, they hung up and acted like nothing happened. But little did they know that highlands spiritual activity is coming alive
The car in A building: It was a normal day and this teacher was super mean and yelled at everything they could. Till one day they came into the classroom and all the tables, computers, and furniture were moved. The teacher knew who did it. IT HAD TO BE THE JANITORS! The teacher stormed to the janitors and yelled at the janitors. But the janitors didn't move anything at all “ please I didn't do anything stop yelling! I took out your trash and that was it!” the janitor said. The teacher let the janitor off the hook for now. Little did the teacher know that when the teacher was grading work and went to the bathroom. All the papers and their computers were upside down. “ oh my gosh this janitor needs to stop doing this!”. The teacher stormed down to the office and demanded the janitor. But then the janitor's manager came out and the janitor's manager said “ the janitor has been sick and is gonna be out for another week”. The teacher stormed back to their room and out of nowhere a car ran into their class-room. The driver of the car said “oh my gosh im so so sorry. I couldn't control it my wheels just jerked left”
