Ghost fear shuts down School

Ghost, the name itself is enough to scare you. But just imagine if you happen to see a ghost. Just think if school children start seeing ghosts in their schools!!!!. Yes, a school in a West Bengal village is closed for the last five days, courtesy a "ghost" that resides in a haunted century-old neighborhood house and "possesses" young girl students at will.

Toiba High School at Kusumgram - a village in Burdwan district about 150 km from Kolkata - is stalked by the fear of an evil spirit these days after several girl students of the co-educational institution fell unconscious while in class.

Headmaster Sheikh Abdul Rashid, who was forced to declare holiday for an unspecified number of days, was uncertain whether classes could be resumed at all as superstition and wild rumors gripped not only the students but also their parents.

Trouble started on last Tuesday when Class 11 student Sweety Khatoon started feeling dizzy and fainted during the morning prayer. The same day, Class 12 student Sonali Khatoon fell unconscious in her classroom.

The following day, four Class 5 students fell unconscious in their classrooms. By Thursday, 11 girls had fallen sick.

All the students who fainted were girls, fuelling the fear that the "ghost" was targeting them.
