She must have had some tough students that year! Wonder if he was one of them!

Maybe the practice teacher learned the hard way that she had to be tough and now she's a tough old scary ghost-ess.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Jim!
Oh spooky, maybe she still treads the class room with book in hand - cue dark music!
ReplyDeleteVery creepy. I'd avoid the place, too!
ReplyDeleteOooer there's a longer story there!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim- You asked if Jerry sells real estate for a living...No, he's a retired math teacher and now supervises high school and junior high student teachers for a local university. But we have bought a few houses, so we can read between the lines in real estate ads...lol!
ReplyDeleteI figured this photo would unleash some school day memories, but so far I've got haunting and bodies. BTW, that's not a complaint. :D
ReplyDeleteGood one, Jim.
A mystery in the making...do they hear odd noises passing by? Enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this one really spooked me-the poor teacher Jim! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know the rest of this story, I'm sure it's good!
ReplyDeleteI think he's the one who put her beneath the floor. ...You did say he was a she, right?
ReplyDeleteSorry about the fires down there Jim, they sound awful. Marilyns brother lives in Dallas and has really been suffering.
I had a teacher like that. I do love the photo.
