Mystery of the Museum

Posted on by

Most of the students do not know their history, either they will fall asleep in class, or the teacher wore some crazy costume in class just to spark their imagination. Well, that could be boring or exciting, but a field trip, the students are wide awake.

Students will speculate to what they would see. Are they going camping or see a play out of town? The students will be so exciting to see and go, because the class is boring, especially the teacher why is Mr Blakencooper wearing a uniform in class. Is that the school uniform that most teachers are wearing in class when teaching. Oops, he was wearing the uniform of the Civil War period or is it a caveman outfit.

What the teacher arranged is the class to go the museum in their town. The student will be so excited to go to a museum, to see everything come alive, but that is only in a movie. But there are some museums out there have animatronics of creatures that run around in a theater stage atmosphere.

However, the teacher is taking the class to see the Civil War exhibit in their local museum, in which no goes there. Why? People are complaining the museum is a waste of money, but it’s history of our town. Why do we have ghost walk in town? It educates the history of our town. Without no history, it would be, just a city, with a weird name. The name means something, what’s it background, the history. We all watch Ghost Adventure on the travel channel, the first 15 to 20 minutes they tell us the history of the place. The Civil War, the Gettysburg War and other historically events happened in the town and later they Ghost Adventures team will explore the haunting in the area. What they found is incredible; people who fought on the land many years ago are either still fighting or lost. Probably the ghost wants you to help them to find their way home? We do have some haunting historical location in our town. No one wants to talk about it. They think it will scare people, but it has a history and to preserve it, we have museums.

The museum does have a mystery in our area, and we never knew about it. We can be a history buff and know the history of our town. But what about new information that we don’t know about, then you will intrigue about it. Then we can be smart about it.

So the museum holds valuable information and history that we would never know. So it’s good to know the history of our town.

Plus the museum has a convention hall, and they could hold parties for their guests, like prom. The students can party with a Civil War mannequin. Well don’t do that. Someone has to pay for the damages.

So, please go to the museum and get to know your history. Make a donation too to keep precious materials preserves for a long time.

How to be stay safe on campus

College freshmen are ready to go to their university to get educated and further their career, sometime it can stop abruptly because of campus crime.

Students think since they got a dorm room and wanted to be independent, and they live only 15 miles away from home. It would be cheaper to stay at home.Independence is good, but a home cook meal every night would be good and their comfort and safety in their room.

The crime rate on campus is always undetected in their local newspaper, but it is told through Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.

Being safe on campus is a no brainer, we do have to be very observant in our surrounding area, and if we have a conservation with a classmate and that classmate wanted the student to come and join a sorority, just be careful and look for clues and ask a lot of questions. Look through history at the library to see if it matches.

Remember those days when a teacher would play does those observation games in the class room, one person would randomly leave the room, and the class has to remember what they were wearing.  We do have to remember what people say and what they are wearing. It would help the officers to find the perpetrator and stop them before anything else could happen.

We have to stay on alert on campus; sometime professor would pull a stunt or prank on their students to make them more aware of their surrounding. It may be stupid, but it makes the student to think.

When we go to sleep in the dorm, sometime students may hear someone moaning in the hallways, it could be the professor who is the pulling the prank, but he’s no-where in the dorm. It could have been the wind, but the wind is not blowing that hard to make the noise, then it get’s louder and louder. What could it be? The building and the room is over 50 years old, and no one told the students on campus what happened their many years ago.  Someone died in that room, and it used to be a campus hospital, but it is nicely decorated to look like a dorm room. We don’t know. The students wanted an education, and they don’t pay attention to details. It’s not the dog that ate your homework; it’s the ghost which did your homework – more like a ghost writer. We do have some haunted university out there, and we don’t know about it. Get to know your university first.

Students and their hormones would go crazy. It’s it’s like high school all over again. We see someone attractive, and the student wanted to get to know one of another. However, how well do these students know each other. We can do background check on the internet, sometimes it can help, not very thing is on Facebook and Myspace. Students can have an alias name, and we don’t know about it.  Students may experience new things like they would never do at home but wanted to experience same sex with one another. Is that why they wanted their independence? Alcohol and drugs happen to every campus.

We have to be armed and protect ourselves  from any kind of danger take a self-defense  course. If your residence directory would not allow the students to have any weapons in your room, just get it anyway and keep it quiet. Pepper spray, Tasers and a water gun, it can be useful.

There was one girl who was followed by a stranger, she aimed the gun at the victim and sprayed the victim with pepper spray in her water gun. Smart moved.

Would You Buy Scott McCreery Album?

Even though Scotty McCreery won American Idol last night, his boy hood charm and his fan voted for him. It makes me wonder, can he sell his first album when it comes out later this year. Would people buy it? His album would be a collaboration of country songs and pop-country, but will his fans buy it. Most teenagers today would buy a pop album or some rap album but not a country album. He has to go what his fans want to listen to not just he feels this song could help them in anyway or get beat up by a bully from school, that’s no fun. He should take strong advice from Carrie Underwood how she became popular with pop-country and how she crossed over to pop-radio and country radio, to reach his fan. Would Justin Beiber make a country album?

Selling albums is a big business for recording contracting. Most popular idols who sell the most albums are Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry has sold albums by the millions and millions. Even I got one of each, the rest of them I got some them and sold them on Ebay, that’s no good.

Can anyone write a song about Pasquotank River?

Bias Hall Ghost

For me, I never had any trouble in any subject, except for Mathematics – calculus. I needed a tutor. The only person who could tutor me was Melissa Chapman. She was pretty, brunette curly locks, hazel eyes, and she had the brains of Einstein. Well not exactly as Einstein but she was smart and pretty. So beauty and brains do go together, especially her, and she agreed to help tutor me in calculus. We were going to study in the library on the campus. She insisted to study in her dorm in Bias Hall. So I went to Bias Hall on the Campus at Elizabeth City State University. It was my first time entering the dorm building. In the center of the foyer was a big portray, picture of John C. Bias. Looking at the picture gives me the creep.

“Are you ready?” said Melissa Chapman

“Yes” I said. She startled me.

“So you go to this school and never entered this building” Melissa said.

“I lived nearby and it’s not that far” I said

“Since the library has mold problems I thought we could study in my dorm room. Mold makes me sick” Melissa said. She smile at me.

“I agree” I said.

We entered her room. It was one big room with a bay window, next to it was a sofa chair with a TV on one side. It had a coffee table with some books and notes on it. The two beds were either side of the room. One was on the left and the right, with their desks on the side of the bed. The walls and the room feels cozier, and she decorated the room as a contemporary style.

“My room mate Debbie Morhard has to work tonight. You wouldn’t mind the two of us together study together here” Melissa Chapman said, she was going to her side of the room, to take off her shoes and put on comfortable shoes.

“No problem” I said, for me I am here to be tutor by her. In other words, we are just friends from class. Then I heard a ding.

“I have the popcorn ready,” Mellissa said. She went to the microwave. She pulled out the popcorn. And she pours it in a bowl.

We sat down on the couch by the bay window. I took out my Calculus book from my book bag and notebook.  She was about to explain about the raindrop theory to me. Then a loud clanging noise came outside her room in the hallway. We ran outside of the room to see what it was.

The hallway was half-lighted giving it a creepy feeling in the hallway.

Almost every girl on the first floor heard the noise. Some of the women were in there nightgown. Expect for one, one was naked underneath her robe, it was a see through robe. I hid behind Melissa for no one could not see me and I was the only guy in the dorm.

“What was that noise?”  One of the girls said.

“I don’t know but I am going to see who was down the hall.” She was the resident assistant. “At the mean time, go back to your room.” She went down the hallway to see. Where did the noise come from?

As Melissa and I went back to our room. Melissa and I felt something cold went through our bodies. It gave us goose bumps and the hair on the back of our neck stood up. Did we encounter a ghost in the hallway? The hallway room was warm, but the temperature dropped cold. We have both heard a moan in front of us. We just stood there for a second and went to her room.

“What was that?” Melissa said.

“That sounded like a moan. Clear as day. Is this place haunted by a ghost?” I said. Shivers went through our bodies.

“ I don’t know. Never heard about it” Melissa said.

“I know we planned a study session tonight. Do you still want to continue with the study session?” I asked.

“Can I reschedule the tutor?” Melissa said.

“Sure” I said.

“I call you.  I am little bit shaky about this ghost thing.  Sorry. ” Melissa said.

“It’s okay” I said. I grabbed my books and book bag and got out of the building quickly. Not knowing, why would she stay there?

The next morning, I got a called from Melissa. She was crying, not knowing what happened.

“Slow down, Melissa what happened” I said.

What she had told was the most terrifying night she had. I should have stayed with her. However, she told me to leave. What happened to Melissa was that she woke half-naked in her bed. Her door was locked the whole night, and no one could not get into her room. Someone was in her room and had sex with her. It or the ghost took off her pants off. It pressed against her. She felt hands on her body and it was warm.

“Listen to me Melissa. I did some reading at the library this morning. I found out, a security guard, by the name Tommy Chase. He died 15 years ago. He was caught of raping a girl in that building. Ever since he died, he comes back to spy on them and he was a sexual pervert back then too.” I said.

“Thank you.” Melissa said to me.

“Get the hell out of room Tommy Chase. You don’t belong here you sexual pervert. Get Out!” Melissa yelling at her room, as she was trying to exorcised her room.

“Thank you for help” Melisa said to me over the phone.

“When we would have a tutor session” I asked.

“Soon. I am going to move out soon”

“Okay” I said.  She hung up the phone.

Right then, Melissa room mate Debbie came in.

“What happened here?” Debbie asked.

“It came back for me, Debbie” Melissa said.

First it raped Debbie and she had to move out of the dorm.

“It was the ghost of Tommy Chase the security guard he came by and raped me” Melissa said.

“I am so sorry Melissa. I shouldn’t have let you stayed here by yourself, but I found us a new dorm – no ghost. He won’t bother us no more.” Debbie said. Debbie hugged Melissa and she needed that.

Melissa and Debbie settle in their new dorm.  Melissa called me for the tutor and we had a great time tutoring in her new dorm.

Danger Intersection

I live on Four Forks Road, and when I heard, the news about the 19-year old Allie Gable of Virginia Beach lost her life on the intersection of Peartree road and Pits Chapel road.  Something needs to be done, before another car crash in the corner. Did the blinking lights help? Did she notice it? We have to pay attention on the road today before we get into another car crash.

According to a study by NCDOT, from 2004 to 2009, 23 crashes have been reported at this intersection. And two other crashes one in June of 2009 and the recent one this past week, Monday May 9, 2011.

More blinking lights on all four corners of the intersecting, not a bad idea, but it should be continuously blinking lights. It might disturb the neighborhood in the middle of the night, but the street should be safe and lighting around the area of the intersection.  When people drive at night it’s impossible to see the intersections at night, it needs lighting.

People should be aware of the traffic and use their common sense when driving through an intersection. Slow down at the intersection before making any turns, even though you may have the right away to make turns, just wait for a few minutes and then make the turn.
