Stories in History #IPGKIK: The other side of TESL Block

Today I want to tell a story. It is about the TESL Block. When I was a junior at the English Studies Department, I heard a lot of rumours about the department. Some of the lecturers and seniors love to scare us with ghost stories about the block. Rumours said that the third floor is haunted and others said that it is inhabited by the “banglas” aka foreigners. And, we are very afraid of going to the third floor. We will be extra aware every time when we climb up the stairs so that we don’t climb overboard to the third floor. Also, the block is literally dark because the corridors, walkways and stairs are not brightly lit. Sometimes, we have class as early as seven in the morning. From the hostel, I will walk together with my friends around six fifty a.m. across the dark, silent field to get to the “haunted” building (but actually it’s not). Those are the days that I cherished the most but can never go back.
