Chapter 13 - The Haunted School Restroom

Many schools have eerie legends and stories, often stemming from their past as execution grounds or burial sites, and this unsettling atmosphere lingers among students and teachers. In Kaohsiung, there is an old elementary school with a particularly long history, and one section of the school has a row of restrooms located at the far end of the campus. These restrooms are used exclusively by the first and second-grade students, while the other grades avoid them. Mysterious and eerie vibes fill the air, and the third restroom in this row is always kept locked.

One afternoon, a senior student urgently needed to use the restroom. Unfortunately, every other restroom was occupied, and he couldn't hold it any longer. He decided to forcefully open the locked door of the third restroom. To his surprise, this door, which had never opened before, now yielded to his effort. Not thinking much of it, he entered and was about to release his pent-up relief. Just as he was about to let out a triumphant sigh, he suddenly felt an icy chill from beneath him.

Startled, he glanced down and was horrified by what he saw. A withered, skeletal hand had reached up from below. Terrified, he screamed and grabbed a small knife from his pocket, slashing at the grotesque hand. He quickly bolted out of the restroom, vowing never to step foot inside again.

Over time, this incident began to fade from the high school student's memory. However, he was reminded of the terrifying encounter when, one day, he and a group of friends were playing basketball near the restrooms. A misdirected basketball rolled into the restroom, and his friends urged him to retrieve it. Though he mumbled in complaint, he reluctantly ventured into the dreaded restroom. Inside, he found an old woman holding the basketball, but she never raised her face.

With curiosity, he asked her about the knife scar on her hand, and the elderly lady, in an unsettling tone, responded, "You're the one who cut it, don't you remember?" She then suddenly lunged at him with a terrifying grin. He screamed and fainted. After this harrowing experience, the senior student was never the same, exhibiting signs of mental trauma, and the row of restrooms was eventually demolished.

This chilling tale recounts the eerie history of an old school restroom, where the boundaries between the living and the supernatural blurred, leaving a lasting impact on the students and the school itself.
