Horror movies or stories give us goosebumps. If they are based on real stories, it makes you even more careful in real life. In AP House, there are many ghost stories. Most of those stories are not true. However, some of them are based on true stories that happened in the dormitory. APU times collected the tales that have happened in AP House.
A ghost who killed herself.
There are many stories about ghost tales related to the girl who killed herself. Among them, there is one story that happened. In the W building of AP House 1, there is a room that APU does not rent to anyone. This room belongs to the ghost who used to live there. The story goes like this. In early 2000, there was a student who lived in this room. Before she got into APU, she was full of expectations. However, she soon got stuck up with stresses that came from academic performance. One night, she couldn’t stand the stresses and makes a terrible choice. After the suicide, students who lived around the rooms said there were strange sounds in the room where she died. There was supposed to be no one in the room but students heard someone writing down essays, turning the pages of a book, and even steps walking around the room. After such an incident, AP House decided to close the room and not to rent it to anybody. Even nowadays, students who pass by the room sometimes hear someone living in it.
A girl who went crazy
In AP House 2, there is a tale about the girl who went crazy. I heard that nowadays, this story is regarded as exaggerated tales like other ghost tales. But this insane incident happened. The reason I know this has happened is because I was there in the moment. In winter 2015 in AP House 2, the dormitory was in chaos. A girl went crazy and ran out into the freezing weather without wearing any clothes. It was not the first time she went crazy. One week before, she wandered around her floor holding a knife in her hand, knocking on the doors on the floor. Fortunately, officers at AP House and police officers managed to calm her down and took her to the hospital. But a day after she came back from the hospital, she went crazy again. She screamed around being naked and went outside the AP House, in the middle of the night. Police officers and emergency crew found her in the sewerage system in the mountain. After medical check, APU decided it is impossible to cure her and sent her back to her country. Until now, nobody knows what made her become crazy.
There are many ghost tales besides these two stories introduced. I believe there are more ghost tales that I haven’t heard in AP House. How many of such tales do you think have happened in AP House? Maybe all of the tales are true and various ghosts are living in AP House.
