The Haunting of the Old Dormitory

The old dormitory on the edge of the Yuezhi Campus had long been a place of whispered legends and forgotten memories. Its decrepit walls and creaking floors had seen better days, but the students of the dormitory were oblivious to the dark history that lay within its walls. That was until the night of the full moon, when the dormitory's true nature began to reveal itself.

The story began with a group of five friends: Li Wei, a curious history major; Wang Mei, a psychology student; Zhang Hua, an engineering student; Liu Qing, a literature enthusiast; and Chen Yang, a photography aficionado. They had heard the tales of the old dormitory's hauntings and decided to investigate, hoping to capture some ghostly images for their school project.

As they stepped into the dimly lit corridor, the air was thick with dust and the scent of decay. The friends exchanged nervous glances, their hearts pounding with a mix of fear and excitement. They had no idea what they were about to uncover.

Li Wei, the group's leader, turned on his flashlight, casting a flickering glow across the walls. "Let's start with the dormitory room that's rumored to be the most haunted," he suggested.

They reached Room 314, the room that had been abandoned for years. The door creaked open, revealing a room filled with cobwebs and dust. The bed sheets were tattered, and the window was boarded up. A chill ran down Li Wei's spine as he noticed a faint, ghostly outline on the wall.

Wang Mei, the psychology student, stepped forward. "Let's try to communicate with the spirits," she said, pulling out a small Ouija board from her backpack. The friends gathered around, their faces illuminated by the eerie glow of the board.

As they began to concentrate, the pointer on the Ouija board started to move. It spelled out the word "Help." The room seemed to grow colder, and a faint whisper filled the air. "We need your help," it seemed to say.

Chen Yang, the photographer, quickly snapped a photo of the Ouija board. "This is incredible," he said, his voice trembling. "We need to document this."

As they continued their investigation, they discovered more strange occurrences. The lights flickered on and off, and the temperature in the room dropped significantly. They even heard faint, ghostly laughter echoing through the halls.

Liu Qing, the literature enthusiast, began to read from a book about the dormitory's history. "This place was once a home for a young couple who tragically died here," she said, her voice quivering. "Their spirits are trapped here, seeking release."

The friends decided to seek help from the school's librarian, who had a wealth of knowledge about the dormitory's past. She revealed that the couple had been killed by a jealous lover, who had set the dormitory ablaze. The couple's spirits had been trapped in the building ever since.

The librarian suggested that they perform a ritual to release the spirits. The friends, now determined to help the spirits find peace, agreed to perform the ritual. They gathered in the old dormitory, lighting candles and reciting prayers.

As they performed the ritual, the room grew colder, and the air seemed to hum with energy. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a ghostly figure appeared in the room. It was the young couple, their faces twisted in pain and sorrow.

"Thank you," the woman's voice seemed to echo through the room. "You have freed us from this place."

The friends watched in awe as the couple's spirits faded away, leaving the room bathed in a soft, ethereal light. The old dormitory seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the strange occurrences ceased.

The friends left the old dormitory, forever changed by their experience. They had not only uncovered the dormitory's dark history but had also helped to release the spirits that had been trapped there for so long.

In the days that followed, the old dormitory was renovated and reopened. The students who lived there now knew the story of the young couple and the events that had transpired. They spoke of the old dormitory with a mix of fear and respect, knowing that the spirits had finally found peace.

The Haunting of the Old Dormitory became a legend among the students of Yuezhi Campus, a story of courage, love, and redemption that would be told for generations to come.
