Hello and welcome to mini episode 14 of Real Life Go Story!

How you do? We've got three spooky listener tales for you today. Are you ready?

Nothing. Yes, of course, can. Spooky, spooky skeletons. I didn't even get the chain at times.

No, you were going for it. Which is not the same thing. So story number one comes from Becky. Are you ready?

I'm never ready for these things. I'm not going to be honest, but you might as well read them anyway,

because it'd be important upside of us. When we were in fifth grade, about 10 or 11 years old,

everyone was coming into the classroom as buses unloaded one at a time. My friends will call

her Sarah Smith, came in wearing a jean jumper. I passed her on the shoulder in jest as she entered

the room. Our mutual friend Lynn handed Sarah a folded note as Sarah was walking to her desk.

This was a paper note because it was 1988 or thereabouts. We all sat at our desks as the teacher closed

the door, signifying the start of class. He took attendance, but Sarah wasn't at her desk. The

teacher asked everyone about her. No one had seen her leave. He looked up and down the hole,

opened the closet door, then called the main office. Sarah wasn't in school and she didn't return for

the rest of the day. At lunch, Lynn went to Sarah's desk. I shouldn't want anyone else to see the

contents of the note from that morning. Lynn retrieved the note from Sarah's desk. The next day,

Sarah arrived at school as she had the day before. But this time, however, she came with a story.

She was sick the day before. She had a fever and her mom had waved the bus along when it stopped

in front of her house. Sarah had never been to school. In fact, she had never even been out of bed.

She said the school had called her mom that morning demanding Sarah be sent back immediately.

Her mom rebuked, stating that Sarah was never with her. She was quite ill and happened

left the house at all. Administration had called the bus driver the same day, and he distinctly

remembered Sarah getting on the bus. The driver had no recollection of Sarah's mom waving him along.
