The hunted toilet

Some people do not believe in ghost but some believes. I am one of them that do not believe until one day......
On the 11th July I have to stay back after school for Chinese remedial. The class only starts at 2.30 pm so I have an hour free. My friend, Gladys, Michelle and I were sitting on a flight of stairs near the classroom that we are having our remedial class. We could not wait in the classroom because there was a fierce looking teacher and a bunch of girls having lesson so we decided to wait outside. While we waited, we ate some junk food and chatted for a while before the teacher and the pupils in the classroom have left.
Since the teacher had left, we decided to go into the classroom instead of sitting on the stairs under the hot sun and that day was windless. After some chatting and eating and I decided to go to the toilet to pee and the two of them came along to wash their hand as their they were oily. The toilet was just beside the classroom so we hardly need to walk.
I was the first one to reach the toilet and I realized that the first two doors of the first two cubical were close as if there was some one inside. The first one was suppose to be lock as it is red but it was not as the lock was not attach to the loop. The second one was blue, which means it is not lock, was close tightly. Just then Gladys and Michelle came in, I told the both of the about the two strange doors and Gladys open them for me. The doors were open with a light push and there was nobody in it. I walked into the first cubical like I always do and step out as I have forgotten to take some toilet papers near the sink where Michelle was standing.
“Michelle, pass me some toilet paper,” I called out. And I turn my direction to the toilet bowl with no particular reason. My head seams to turn itself without the brain controlling it.
What I saw was red blood, but I was not sure of what I have seen as Michelle called back a second later.
“Tell me to say stop,” she said as she continued pulling the toilet papers out of the roll. “Enough,” I cried as she started puling out a lot of toilet papers but I manage to stop her just in time.
After taking the toilet paper from Michelle’s hand I took another look at the toilet bowl before I sat on it. This time, the water was crystal clear and I was sure I was imaging things just now.
Just then I realise there was three spots of blood on the floor. “Whoa, this is really freaking me out,” I thought. I avoided telling my friends about the things I have seen so I went to the sink and wash my hands. After washing my hands, I looked myself in the mirror and tidied up my uniform and Gladys was tying her hair. Suddenly, “boom” the door of the first cubical shut itself. We look blankly at each other. Then Gladys said that those ghost story she watches, the doors of the toilet shut one by one loudly. I totally agree with Gladys. I started having goosebums by then and we all have the same thing in mind which is……RUN!
We ran back to class in a flash and we all had the ‘Ohmigosh!’ expression on our face. Then we started to panic but there was nothing that we could do. “Clara!” Gladys shouted. We all ran towards Clara, me and Gladys hug her. She was like a big sister at that time. We spilled out whatever we saw and hear to Clara and we were just talking outside the toilet. While in the middle of the conversation, another loud bang came from the toilet. This time it was Clara who was really freaked out. Her face was like as if she had really seen a ghost with her mouth hanging wide open but she gained back her consciousness after a while.
Clara of course believed the story we just told her. She said we should go back to the toilet to have a look. Nobody disagreed but just before we left the classroom, Gladys stopped us. She told us that Chinese people believes that ghost are scared of silver and like the colour red so we hid all the visible red items and took out all the things we have and is silver. We held on tight to all those silvery things in our hand just in case.
We gather all the courage that we could and walk into the toilet without making a sound. A chill ran down my spine and I could just feel that there is a lump in throat and I am having difficulty swallowing my saliva. When we went in this time, both doors was closed. I slowly opened the first door and nobody was in there and so I opened the second door, it was empty too.
“I thought I just saw something,” Michelle said with a shaky voice.
We all asked her what was it, and then she said she saw something RED. “Me too,” I said. “I saw red blood in the toilet bowl just now. But I could not confirm it was red blood as I saw it from the corner of my eye and it was a fast glance.” “You saw WHAT?” Michelle asked me and seams surprise to what I said. “I SAW BLOOD IN THE TOILET BOWL!” I replied back. Just when I was saying the word ‘bowl’, the door suddenly close by itself again. Then something caught our eye, we realized that the lock from the first door had turned blue and the second had turned red. A switch in colour, freaky. We were sure before we left were both blue and nobody had entered the toilet after us. We rush out without hesitation.
After this trip to the toilet we never had the courage to go in anymore. After the last escape from the toilet, our Chinese teacher came. We told her what had happened but of course she did not believe us. We felt like a fool after telling our teacher. I mean it is like I do not think there is such thing as ghost but still could not decide whether it was our imagination or was the toilet really HUNTED?
(P.S This is really what happened on Tuesday and it really freaks us out. This is a true story. It is up to you whether to believe it or not.)
