At this time of year, while most would usually be celebrating the completion of their midterm exams and attending Halloween parties, students on the GVSU campus are left in a state of paranoia due to a recent surge in the sightings of what can only be described as “ghosts”.
Although the campus has been historically deemed safe from supernatural interference, recent stories report many chilling and close encounters with “shimmering and see-through figures”, causing students to flee in terror.
Even stranger is the fact that none of these “ghosts” have left behind any sort of physical evidence, even something as small as a handprint, which is usually to be expected from many reported instances of hauntings.
While such events send most to madness, a select few students choose to move towards the ghosts, investigating the otherworldly to find a definitive answer.
These valiant “ghost-hunters” spend their semesters pursuing apparitions, hoping to put an end to their haunting, ensuring that their fellow students can finally enjoy a much-needed break from stress, both academic and spiritual.
This led to a confrontation between the ghost-hunting team and the alleged spirit, as numerous high-speed cameras and motion detectors were set up preemptively at the Kirkhof center: the primary area the ghost inhabits.
Despite many on the team expecting the fright and fight of their life, they were sadly left disappointed instead of validated when their cameras caught the truth.
To the surprise and disappointment of many, the ghosts were in fact not real, but holographic displays created by a disgruntled teacher whose horror film class was taken off the list of available courses, and thus sought revenge for its loss.
Although the apparitions seen may have been fake, the ghost of the removed course proved to be quite real, as it haunted those who had forsaken it.
Thankfully, nobody was harmed throughout the entire ordeal, though mentally it is not certain if some of the students will recover, as they refuse to believe what they saw was anything other than a real ghost; perhaps seeing is truly believing.
