I've mentioned the military school I attended that was a converted hospital. There was one other instance that occured there. Then I'm done. I swear.

We sat around one evening, bored out of our minds, and decided to play a trick on a few new students who... well... they deserved it. They were uneasy being the newbies anyway so why not exploit it! hihi

We told them to meet us in the basement that night. "We always meet there and party it up. The Sargeant won'tl catch us. It's perfect!" They were estatic and agreed to meet us there. hihi.

Our plan went perfect. Two friends of ours said they would handle everything. We met in the basement. The lights were dim. We explained how nobody ever came down here because it was the basement. And in the basement used to be the morgue (which was fact). Precisely at the planned time, as we rounded a corner to go down a long corridor, a nurse in a somewhat outdated uniform pushed a corpse on a gurney across the intersection at the far end. The lighting was PERFECT! Even I got the willies. But what the heck, those were 2 friends of mine down there pulling this scheme off perfectly! They walked so slowly, as if gliding. You sensed the sorrow and the coldness of death. It was PERFECT!

"What the h$&& was that?" my buddy asked. He was behind me... but he shouldn't have been. He should have been on the gurney. Our female friend, the nurse, stood beside him. And they were behind me... They were apparently late and had found us just as the nurse at the other end strolled with her cadaver on the gurney at the far end of the hallway...

Ever seen 8 soldiers running 4 flights of stairs in panic?
