It was a chilly night, me and my dutymates had to go to school so that we can be fetched by our school's service (a van) so that we can go to the hospital were we'll be having our clinical duty. We were all there at 9pm, since it's a rule that 1 hour before the actual start of duty (which is 10pm btw) we need to be there in advance to allow some travel time. The lights from the college buildings are all out, it was so dark inside the campus and the only place where we could stay is the parking area where the vans are supposed to be parked. We sat there and waited for the van to come, we kept ourselves busy by reviewing each other about nursing stuffs, joked around until we realized that it's already 10pm, were already late for duty and not a single van came. So we still waited, in spite of the really cold breeze that were hitting our cheeks, and it was also dead silent that night, we can see the big shadows of the buildings and the slow quivering of the leaves from the trees. Someone broke the silence, and told us "why don't we talk about ghost stories?", and we all looked at each other, we had this doubt in our eyes if we actually want to spend this night spooking ourselves out. But we ended up nodding and agreeing to that idea, maybe because we're not alone, we have 9 other friends with us, why not? So one of my friends told us about why every CR in the gym has only one vertical rectangular mirror, good for one person to check his/herself out. According to stories, the big CRs in the gym once had mirrors through the whole wall. It was said to be long, and were enough for one to see everyone inside the CR. There was this incidence years ago that one female student, alone went inside the CR to pee, and as every normal female, she had to check her hair, face etc with the use of the mirror. After some minutes, she rushed out of the CR like a maniac and told that there was a White Lady at the end of the long mirror. Nobody believed her, until the reports of seeing the ghost overwhelmingly increased. And that they were left with the decision to cut down the length of the mirror but still enough for a few girls to use it. But the white lady still kept on showing up at the end of the mirror until they were forced to take off all the mirrors on the wall. Suddenly one of our classmate shouted a name, like he was calling someone. I couldn't really remember the name ( defense mechanism, maybe )but I think it was "Ligaya" (Joy in english). He kept on repeating that name, and we all shouted that name too for fun. We were all sitting in a long bench at the parking area when one of our friend stood up and went a few meters away from us, we were still talking about ghost stories and then I got surprised, as if it was a reflex, I also stood up and walked a bit. I approached my friend who also stood up and asked him "why aren't you with us there?" and he replied "I don't feel comfortable sitting there, its as if someone's watching over me there" and I told him "and the hair from your arms and neck starts to stand up?" and that's when I realized that the reason why I stood up and went away is because of that chilly feeling. We looked back to the group and found that a few of them were also walking away and we walked towards them and asked the same thing and said that they're feeling something funny in the area where we were sitting. I started to count everyone in case the van came just to make sure were complete. And my friend, "Sarah" was missing and I looked around and saw her walking into the dark areas of the campus, away from us. And she does that a lot during our breaks in our graveyard clinical duties, and it always makes me nervous cause I don't want a girl, a friend, to be walking alone away from us, without the assurance that she'll be safe. As usual I had to walk to her (everytime) and get her to come back.I walked towards her even though it was really dark and creepy in that area and whispered to her "you're driving me nuts, Sarah, what are you doing??" and she replied "sshh, just let me be, go back to our friends". And this time with my usual tone and volume "you're coming back with me" I grabbed her hand and walked her back to the parking area. My friends were there waiting for us in the parking area they all looked worried, and they were like slightly embracing their-selves because of the cold. Suddenly I felt my friend Sarah's face go near my ear and she whispered with a sense of fright "Augs, look there" and I looked towards where her head was pointing and when I looked I saw this lady wearing this weathered white robed, sitting on the bench at the parking area. And I wasn't sure if it was hair covering her or its just some dark imagery above the body. I couldn't believe what I just saw and I had to look closely for a quick millisecond until I found myself screaming and I was jumping out of fear, and I think my friends also saw the white lady and we were all running away from the parking area, anywhere but near that bench even if its the dark shadows of the buildings. We found each other complete after some minutes, and we attempted to go near the parking area again to check the place. Then we heard the horn of the van, and some guy shouting, and there it was our service for the hospital, waiting for us there in the parking area. We ran back to get our bags and rushed inside the van. After Sarah closed the door of the van, that's the only time we were able to breath normally. Everyone was still in a state of shock, no one spoke about it during the travel, and even after the duty. It was something that we all regretted, and we all just wished it wasn't real life, like it's just a nightmare. After that, Paola talked to me and said that the reason why that every time that she has a chance to walk away from us during breaks (especially graveyard duty) is that she can see ghosts and that she wants to lure the ghosts away from us, and that every time I try to call her back, I just kept on attracting the ghosts towards us.
