A Mysterious Girl

The following story is non-fictitious and is based on my own experience. It is quite lengthy, and perhaps long-winded at places, but I hope it is interesting to you!

Some time in Autumn seven years ago, I began studying at a boarding school in Scarborough, UK. The house I stayed in was the only girls' boarding house of the school at the time. The house was built in 1887 and is located at Filey Road.

The place felt very homely and when I was shown to my dormitory on the first floor, I was delighted to discover that three roommates had been expecting my arrival and to give me a warm welcome. The three girls had already chosen the beds they wanted to sleep in, and the only one left (my bed to be) was closest to the door. The back of the bed was against the violet wall and this part of the wall was not flat, but looked like what used to be a fireplace that had now been painted white and whose opening had been blocked.

Not long into the school term, I had a dream one night -

I was there at the boarding house but the interior was different from how I had remembered it to be.

I found a girl who was in what we called the "Games Room" on the ground floor, which was close to the staircase. She was a girl with long and wavey brown hair and was wearing a pretty and pale flowery dress, which I thought seemed a little old-fashioned.

She seemed slightly younger or about my age then (i.e. About 10 to 14 years old). And, although I did not know who she was, she was friendly to me and we began chatting.

She asked if I wanted to play the piano since she knew that was what I loved. I had no idea how she knew of this hobby of mine but I was grateful of her offer and thanked her.

A little while later, I began to wonder about the quietness in the house and asked this girl where her family was.

"My dad has gone to work," she replied.

I asked another question, "When will he return?"

"He told me that he would return soon," she answered with a smile.

The answer somehow seemed ominous to me, as an image of a military chief flashed through my mind, so I asked no further questions.

Soon, she took me to a corridor and beckoned me to follow her. The corridor was almost blindingly bright but it seemed to have a dark aura about it simultaneously. To try and ease this awkward feeling about the corridor, I turned my attention back to the girl, who I was now walking behind. Then, I started to feel slightly dizzy and insecure, as though the girl was a stranger again.

At that very moment, a thought came to me that this girl was a ghost. A part of me was so sure, yet I could not be sure because she appeared so solid and real.

When I woke up I told my roommates about the dream. They freaked out a little bit and told me a few seconds later that that was the reason why they did not choose to sleep in my bed when they first arrived in the dormitory: apparently, I was not the first girl to have experienced something like this in that dormitory. And, then, they told me about the mysterious girl being in the bathroom from time to time, to which I did not completely believe as these three girls did not witness this themselves.

A year later, I had been moved to a different room on the top floor. Since then, I had not been hearing a thing from the mysterious girl.

Even up to the time I was arranged to stay in this dormitory again during my last year at the school, I had been believing that the dream was just one of many of the odd ones I had had in the past.

Besides a few rearrangements of the furniture, there had not been much change in the room, with the most noticeable change being the replacement of the old bunkbeds by single beds. The desks were still in the same places, i.e. By the wall closest to the bathroom and to the door.
