OMG I can't believe someone remembers Mrs Duncan the school ghost - I helped to perpetrate this spooky story ha ha ha made me have a real chuckle

 

the story of mrs duncan is my best memory of the middle school. never heard of her being under the stage tho. must have missed that one!!.

 

i tell ya, that corridor overlooking the playground with the toilets still spooks me when i walk past :hihi:

:) :) i knew it. i thought it was you but didnt want to look a d**k if it wasnt!!. youve got taller since school!!!!. i went back your way but you had gone. i was in there browsing books of sheffield history, trams etc etc. nice see-ing you mate!:) :)

 

I got wider as well mate :hihi: I love bumping in to people who used to be taller than me. I remember bumping in to Chris Corker (another blast from the past. Had some great b/day parties at Chris's house) and wondering if he'd shrunk. We were buying Harry Potter books for the we bairn. Not at their prices though (tight git) :suspect:

Sure do. He's married to a lass who is related to my missus in some way (no idea how). We met at a wedding a couple of years back. Gibbo was in my year though. I used to go fishing with his dad. Up until yesterday i was working with a painter that knows Caine as well. It's a small world.

 

Re: Mrs Duncan.

The story i was always told was that she had her head chopped off by a train when looking out of another train window. There were certain places at school that always seemed spooky when you were on your own. The corridor overlooking the playground was one of them. Then there were the black steps leading up to the door behind the stage :suspect:

That was Chris Brown mate. I think he is still living with his parents in one of the houses that are actually in the park now. Chris Corker lived on Prince of Wales Rd :)

the black steps where extremely spooky (when you had finally waded through the tab ends that is). also remember when they uncovered those tunnels under the annex. i went down them one break time. such fun

talking of mrs duncan, there was a rumour going round that when the old senior school was being knocked down and the new houses being built the workmen said they saw a figure gliding about 6 feet above ground level.

 

didnt say whether it had a head or not :hihi:
