Sparky, Stephen King, and a Self-playing Piano

Stephen King’s Wizard and Glass features a homicidal train named Blake the Mono.

I have very few memories from my 2 1/2 year scholastic career at Chapelwood Elementary School on the West side of Indianapolis, Indiana, but one memory refuses to be erased. It is indelibly etched in my brain — as vivid as the day it was created.

In either first or second grade, I remember the class being corralled into the small library. Usually the teacher or librarian read us a delightful, sanitized story, but this day was different. This time the teachers decided to warp the little munchkins.

I’ve posted a number of stories detailing my life in a haunted house on the east side of Indianapolis, Indiana.

It’s hard to convey the creepiness of some of the strange episodes. I’ve tried to recall some of the scariest incidents, and it seems like people might not be able to appreciate how terrifying some of them actually were.

I did not believe I would find answers so quickly to some of the mysteries regarding the strange symbols on the old schoolhouse and the alien visitor (especially the alien visitor), but I am thankful for the diversity of my friends and their amazing knowledge and of course to FaceBook for facilitating these conversations. (See parts one, two, and three to read the story.)

I will not go into detail about what I have learned, because I want to investigate more before going deeper into the story, and I believe it’s part of a bigger story that I hope to tell in my upcoming posts.

I will say that I was shocked to think that I encountered a being so ancient and that my description matched so closely that my wife’s friend Valerie knew instantly who I was describing.

The Schoolhouse, The Cursed Corridor, and the Alien Visitor (Part 3)

by

School NumberOne
Warren Township School No. 1 was likely built in 1870.

 

(This is the third part of a three-part series. Be sure to checkout part one and part two.)

I remember one summer night very clearly. In the very early hours of the morning, a policeman parked his vehicle 60 feet away from my bedroom and diverted traffic onto my street to turn around.

The cursed corridor was closed that night.

It’s hard to sleep with red and blue flashing lights piercing through the mini blinds. I watched and wondered what had happened.

The Schoolhouse, The Cursed Corridor, and the Alien Visitor (Part 2)

by

Schoolhouse Roof
Strange symbols on the roof of the garage attached to the old schoolhouse, only visible inside the house. Were they meant to ward off evil?

This is the continuation of my series of true stories which revolve around the haunted house I lived in on the east side of Indianapolis. None of these stories have been embellished in any way.

In part one of this series I mentioned the human visitors that seemed drawn to my house. I wouldn’t classify all of the visitors as bad; there were pleasant visitors as well.

One morning I awoke to find a puppy curled up on my front porch. Another morning I found a ferrel kitten which quickly ran away. Another evening it was an orange tabby that I named Karma. She became my faithful, loving companion while I lived there alone.

Then there were the strange visitors.
