英语灵异故事-Haunted School House 04 闹鬼的校舍 04

[00:16.53]Haunted School House
[00:22.46]闹鬼的校舍
[00:31.57]I focused in on what had caught my attention.
[00:35.41]It was a flickering¹ florescent light at the end of the hall
[00:39.39]by the exit door
[00:40.71]that led out to the enclosed external stairwell.
[00:45.00]I didn't think much of it till it went out completely.
[00:49.18]As I was about to walk away,
[00:51.55]it came back on as the light in front of it flicked² off.
[00:56.48]It did this in rapid succession down the hall towards me,
[01:00.76]faster and faster.
[01:03.61]The truly terrifying part was not the lights
[01:06.83]but the racing³ shadow it created on the floor.
[01:10.46]It was as if an impenetrable black mass
[01:14.18]was charging me at ramming⁴ speed.
[01:18.12]Filled with inexplicable⁵ horror
[01:20.81]and certainty that this was the same ominous⁶ thing
[01:24.38]in the bathroom,
[01:25.94]I turned on my heels and started down the ramp⁷
[01:29.30]only to be shoved, hard, by something.
[01:34.11]I tumbled all the way down
[01:36.14]and somehow managed to roll into a crouching⁹ position,
[01:40.36]sprang to my feet
[01:41.88]and kept running till I hit the bottom ramp.
[01:45.79]Whereby I collected myself enough to catch my breath
[01:50.08]and walk the rest of the way down.
[01:52.89]In passing the two big shut doors adjacent to the last ramp
[01:57.72]I had another weird¹⁰ feeling of certainty and realization:
[02:03.14]this was a hospital (we already know that.)
[02:07.31]This basement used to be the morgue.
[02:10.54]The first level with the meat locker¹¹ classroom
[02:13.39]was the operating wing that would explain
[02:16.96]the red linoleum¹² versus¹³ the equally aged⁸ brown stuff
[02:21.07]on the subsequent floors;
[02:23.33]for all the blood spillage during surgeries.
[02:27.39]You know there were a lot of deaths here;
[02:30.62]it was a training hospital during war time.
