School legends
At school whenever we had wet-playtime (no jokes) I remember the topic on conversation always turned to telling ghost stories (most of which are UL's). Was wondering is it the same batch that went around everywhere or were there local variations?
At my school the standard tales were...
*The psycho under the bed licking the hand.
*The psycho on the car roof bangin matey's head in while woman sits inside.
* The mum buying her kid a doll that ends up disembowelling said kid and being found on the windowsillcovered in blood.
* The girl who died at the school after slipping off a cloakroom benchand getting a coat-peg in the throat.
Every time these tales would get trotted out. Reading FT letters page quite often tales crop up from other regions that I never heard at school. Is this the same set of stories you heard?
