Tales from the Night School

The Team from Fraser ACE Adult Community Education

Spooky sounds are to be expected when your job involves a lot of wandering about the dark.

When the school empties out, silence can be almost deafening. Every squeak and creak are magnified a hundredfold. For the night staff who believes in ghosts, there needs to be reigning in of the imagination!

In the dark, Minties keep them company, coupled with jangling of the keys to chase ghosts away (whether real or imagined). No spook wants to stick around and listen to the obnoxious chewing echoing down the hallways, through the classrooms. That would drive any living soul insane!
