英语灵异故事-Haunted School House 01 闹鬼的校舍 01

[00:20.36]Haunted School House
[00:25.11]闹鬼的校舍
[00:41.10]Ever since I can remember I have been sensitive.
[00:45.16]So it should've been no surprise to me
[00:47.42]the events that would take place in my early twenties.
[00:51.84]I am in the military and so, because of this,
[00:55.73]cannot identify specific locations
[00:58.81]since this particular incident took place
[01:01.41]on a military installation¹.
[01:04.67]I was 21, fresh out of boot camp
[01:08.15]and well into my final stages of technical training.
[01:12.47]I was training to be an avionics specialist,
[01:15.85]a primarily² male-dominated field of maintenance
[01:18.97]and therefore I was always on guard trying to be the best
[01:23.35]and not be any less than that.
[01:26.12]So I was naturally distracted³ by my goals
[01:29.07]and not in touch with my normal sense of intuition⁴.
[01:33.08]We had just been assigned⁵ a class on the midnight shift
[01:37.23]when it started happening.
[01:39.58]At first I chalked it up to nerves
[01:42.21]and my body trying to adjust itself to sleeping
[01:45.89]during the day and going to school at night.
[01:49.89]About two weeks in
[01:51.42]I was finally acclimated⁶ and comfortable.
[01:55.56]Well, not exactly comfortable. You see,
[01:59.43]the base we were at was an older one
[02:02.27]as most Air Force bases usually are.
[02:05.58]But our schoolhouse
[02:07.37]was in what used to be the old training hospital
[02:10.05]during WWII,
[02:12.43]the Korean War, and then Vietnam.
[02:15.91]It wasn't until those two weeks of adaptation had passed
[02:19.75]that one of my guys made the observation
[02:22.55]that the building was shaped like an H.
