The victim
THE SCHOOL compound of Fumbisi Senior High School in the Builsa South District of the Upper East Region went silent on Tuesday, as all students refused to come out of their dormitories for classes.
This followed the unusual closure of the school in the late afternoon of Monday, October 7, after some of the students claimed a ghost chased them on campus.
A DAILY GUIDE source at the school said over 10 female students of the Fumbisi Senior High School collapsed on Monday due to fright and sudden fever from the nightmare.
On Sunday, a female student alleged that she saw a strange creature in front of the girls’ dormitory which she believed was a ghost. Out of fear and an excessive shivering, she fell from the first floor of the dormitory to the ground.
She was said to have screamed for help at that odd hour on Sunday night, prompting some students and masters to rush her to the Fumbisi Health Centre for immediate medical attention.
The claim of the female student (name withheld) seeing a ghost spread through campus quickly making fear to grip the entire student body. The news was said to have led to the collapse of other girls who were later resuscitated.
On Monday, the students demanded to be allowed to go home. They followed this demand with a boycott of the usual morning assembly. Besides, they refused to eat their breakfast.
The school was then closed on Monday to allow management some time to investigate the claim of a ghost on campus.
On Tuesday, DAILY GUIDE learnt that the student who was reported to have seen the ghost on campus was rushed back to the Fumbisi Health Centre because she said she was having a problem with her sight.
A family member of the traumatised student who spoke to this paper on Tuesday said “she reported that she could not see well.”
