Mulgrave has heard of many weird things before; the locker thief, the random science explosion that made the firefighters come. But never has Mulgarve heard of “The Emo Ghost,” Until now.
Many of you must be thinking, “What on earth is the emo ghost?!”
That is exactly what we are going to tell you.
The emo ghost is a mysterious creature that has been roaming the school, drawing in its book.
No one knows why the emo ghost is here or what it wants, that is what the police are currently investigating, but that's besides the point.
Though we may not know what the Emo Ghost is, we do have suspicions of where it came from. One theory is that it arrived from Area 51, many people think the government let it out to haunt the school and scare the students. Others think it may have come from a bad batch of cafeteria food, and that some awful rotten food may have transformed into a creature, seeking revenge.
We do not know where it came from or what it wants yet, all we know is the messages its writing which include many different statements such as; “#EMO4LIFE!” or “THEY LAUGH AT ME BECAUSE I AM EMO!”
They also draw random images, such as mushrooms with eyes or skeletons. Many people think it may be drawing its imaginary best friend but no one really knows.
One of the most recent and most reasonable ideas of where the Emo Ghost came from is that it was a cheery kid bullied for being sweet and one day a prank was pulled by the bully and the child died.
In the process of death they turned emo and haunt the school in its sadness, unable to leave. Cringe much?
Regardless of which backstory may be true (maybe none of them are…), people seeing the ghost have taken notice that, even though it probably died years ago, it wears an old fashioned school t-shirt and the classic Mulgrave shorts, classic socks and a roll of yellow tape around its arm- presumably to attack its victims with. This suggests that it is probably stealing from the lost and found. If you have lost your “possessions” then you have the Emo Ghost to blame. PS that was a pun.
Connection via seance and talking on a Ouija Board has been tried to get rid of the ghost and has yet to work, leading to the choice to use force- causing the ghost to appear less often to dodge the attacks.
There have been many different ways that humans have attempted to get rid of the emo ghost, some more cruel than others.
Many people have simply tried to talk to the ghost and figure out its goal of being here, but the ghost would always respond with growls.
Others have tried to change the ghosts hairstyle or simply give it a hair brush, but the emo ghost never changed its emo ways no matter what the humans did, the only thing that changed was the ghosts' anger which was rising at every attempt that someone tried to get rid of them.
As the ghost grew more angry, so did the students and teachers- they were fed up with the ghost and the ghost's emo behavior, they thought the ghost was simply there to annoy them.
But they were wrong, the ghost was simply there for revenge, you see Mulgarve was the same school the emo ghost went to, and the same school their awful bully went to.
They were searching for the bully and seeking revenge, no one could stop them.
What they didn’t know was that the bully had graduated and started working at McDonalds- they are now 50 years old and living in a shed across the street from a random club.
The emo ghost thought they still went to Mulgrave and would search high and low for the bully every morning before the classes started.
The emo ghost also has tried to make several surprise attacks to get rid of the humans that get in their way. Thankfully all have failed with no injuries mentally… Uhm I didn't say physically though.
The ghost has sadly injured people in several different ways, they were not severe injuries but they were still enough to make the teachers and parents extremely mad, mad enough to try calling the ghostbusters, which ended up being a scam organization but oh well.
The ghost has made everyone very nervous and we now are wondering where it will strike next. No one really knows, but people are starting to track when and where it attacks. For example, just last week it attacked someone in the elevator. All that was left at the scene was a long strand of what specialists think is the emo ghost's hair.
This morning though, is the closest we have ever gotten to knowing why the emo ghost is here. A young student came to school extremely early to finish an assignment that was due weeks ago and caught sight of the emo ghost. It was simply roaming or searching the school, for reasons unknown. All the student knows is that the emo ghost was repeating one phrase over and over; ‘where are you?’ The student, a self-identified wimp, ran away after that.
The family of the emo ghost is unknown. Just joking, they're a normal family who have tried to forget all about their long lost child and are living their lives hiding away from sadness, but looking in the mirror still wondering where they went wrong and what happend. This is a common thing that happens to people dealing with grief and depression as they wait for a new way to cope with their loss.
No one knows what happened to the emo ghost or where they will strike next, but until we find a way to either get rid of the emo ghost or reconcile with them, the emo ghost will remain.
