When I was 8 years old I was sent from the convent to the Sacred Heart School for girls. The school was old and grey with plate glass windows that looked like frames of running water because they were so old. The wooden floors bounced in sympathy no matter how slight our frames and we all knew that the cloakrooms and shadowed corners housed ghosts.
The toilets were out in the sycamore and oak courtyard. The same courtyard that had the remains of the hangman's noose, the senior's alternative to 'detention'. It was great fun to play judge and jury and jump from the hangman's stand and lie in the crisp autumn leaves pretending to die a noble and extented death. But the fun ended with the 'haunted toilets', They were a stone blockade that nestled in the old courtyard and they were never quiet even on the best of days they sang with the wind. You had to be desperate to use that toilet block.
One day I was desperate. I got permission from Sister Mary Regina to go to the toilet but, lord, if I could've went in a bush I would've. Instead I crossed the courtyard and entered the grey block of toilets that whistled and whined and I pushed open one of the cubicles after checking the floor twice. I had just sat down on the freezing seat when I heard a voice that raised the hackles of my neck!
"Oh Holy Mother, Mary! Mary Mother of God, have mercy! and then an almighty huffing and puffing and groaning! I had heard of souls that haunted a place until they received prayers for their soul and so I started praying and asking God for forgiveness for my emmbarassing situation. But the moaning and cries continued until curiousity got the better of me and my prayers and I crawled up the partition to see what was going on and ther was, a little girl, still and howling for mercy to pass whatever football she had swallowed for breakfast. The more she prayed out loudl "please God" the more I laughed.
