Okay, so I'm a theatre officer at my school, and we recently had an initiation for the new students (and all the non-officer folks cuz this was the first time we've done something like this.)
We told them to meet at the school on Friday at 7 pm, and that's it. All the information they got.
We got there, stalled for a while, then blindfolded them all and got them into our cars.
Bro, we drove insanely (but safely, don't worry.) In my car, I played Spooky Scary Skeletons on repeat. The idea was just to annoy them, but apparently it made them lose all sense of time so they thought we were driving for longer than we actually were.
I was pulling into random parking lots, taking wrong turns then making u-turns, and going through roundabouts at least twice, but some of the people in my car still figured out where we were.
Eventually, we reached our location, which was a pretty spooky little walking path around a pond. They're all still blindfolded, and we lead them to a small clearing, where we've got some candles set up in the middle of the circle we put them in. It takes everyone a little while to get there, and once they do, we have them take off their blindfolds.
Us officers are standing in a circle around the candles with these weird terrifying masks.
And we tell them the story of our ghost.
It's kind of violent at one point. Read at your own discretion.
SpoilerPerson 1: Welcome, cast of Hello, Dolly. Person 2: Tonight will change your life.
Person 3: Actually, no it won't. We just came here to tell you a story.
Person 4: BUT, it's a story that we don't think any of you have heard before.
Person 5: It is a story of the ghost that haunts the very auditorium that we perform in
Person 6: the ghost...of Sheila Montgomery. Person 7 (aka me): It was the year of 1964, the first year that [our high school] decided to put on a play.
Person 1: But for some reason, they were dumb, and decided to put on the cursed Shakespearean play, Macbeth.
All: MACBETHHH
Person 2: As the director was holding
auditions for the play, he noticed something different about Sheila.
Person 3: There was something about her that inspired him to give her the role of the lady.
All: MACBETHHHHH
Person 4: As rehearsals went on, the cast noticed something odd about sheila
Person 5: they often noticed her talking to herself in the ladies dressing room, staring into the mirror, washing her hands.
Person 7 (don't ask me why we skipped over the person before me): She was so far gone into character that she could no longer tell the difference between Sheila and the lady.
Person 1: Now, in the play Macbeth, the lady goes insane, and helps her husband take the lives of several people.
Person 2: As [our high school's] production of the cursed play drew close, some people stopped showing up to rehearsal
Person 3: Every night, one more person would go missing, and the understudies would actually have to fill in.
All: *GASPPPPPPP*
Person 4: THEN the night of the final dress rehearsal, Sheila got ready for her final scene.
Person 5: Now, you must understand that, in the cursed play, the lady receives a letter. The news this letter contains drives her to her last whim, and she jumps out of her bedroom window.
Person 7 (we skipped the girl before me again??): In the production, Sheila was supposed to go up to the newly renovated catwalk and drop the letter into the audience to signal her death.
Person 1: That night, as Sheila was in the catwalk staring down to the stage below, something in her snapped.
All: AND SHE JUMPED
Person 2: And, because of this tragedy, the show was canceled, and Macbeth was never done again in the theatre again
Person 3: and to this day, sheila's spirit roams the auditorium waiting to finish her show.
Person 4: Students today can feel her vengeful spirit, jealous that they get to finish theirs.
Person 5: To protect ourselves from Sheila's spirit, we recite a chant to keep her away:
*pause for effect*
BAKSHHDOIJWNWKWJSYSHNWKJRB
Then we played some Mafia/Werewolf/whatever else you wanna call it, except instead of the Mafia or a Werewolf, we had Sheila/someone possessed by Sheila.
Then we went to the theatre president's house and ate pizza and had a good time lol.
It was very very very very very very fun. Have some pictures (including a picture of me that doesn't look anything like me because I'm wearing that horrid mask):
