Camden High School

New York · United States · School

A man working on the auditorium lights fell to his death. Pupils in the room since report being hit on the head and prodded.

Many years ago a man working at Camden High School in New York was repairing the lights in the auditorium when he fell. The accident killed him, and there were bloodstains left on the carpet.

What is reported in that room now is partly environmental and partly physical.

The auditorium goes sharply cold without anyone touching the thermostat. The lights go on and off by themselves, which given how he died is the detail that everyone notices first.

Pupils holding meetings in the room complain of being hit on the head, or prodded.

Physical contact is rare in school accounts and is usually the point at which a story becomes unreliable. What keeps this one grounded is the specific and mundane origin: a maintenance job on a lighting rig that went wrong, in a room the school still uses every week.
