Basically it's about a school closing in Malaysia due to the staff and children feeling and seeing " spirits"

IT IS the apparent mysterious figure in black which has reduced students and teachers to a state of mass hysteria and forced a school to suspend all its classes.
But despite the school reopening, blood-curling screams can still reportedly be heard.
In a saga which is gripping Malaysia’s media, dozens of students and teachers at the SMK Pengkalan Chepa 2 secondary school have been engulfed by a wave of mass hysteria.
The hysteria and hype surrounding the school is so strong that media have so far not been allowed to enter the school to verify their claims.
The school, which has more than 1000 students and 80 teachers, has since reopened under the observation of several religious teachers and Islamic medical practitioners, Free Malaysia today reported.
But screams were heard from inside the school, in the Malaysian state of Kelantan, as recently as Sunday.
Principal Siti Hawa Mat said 100 teachers had reported seeing a black figure, adding it was the first time an incident like this has been reported in the school since it opened in 2001.

Similar to an OFSTED visit I suppose.

Yes. Mild food poisoning can have a similar effect.
I wouldn't like to go there, thank you.

Haha..... absolutely. Those were the days. Sleepless nights, people losing weight, tearing their hair out. Fun times. ::)

I used to think....what is the point. They should make impromptu visits to get the true picture.

At last this is what they are beginning to do - giving 2 or 3 days' notice, rather than 2 or 3 months'.

Why give them notice?
