このKという学生寮にはもともと奇怪な話が多いのだが、とりわけ彼の住む部屋は代々幽霊が住みついているという噂のある部屋であった。
そして彼自身からもこんな話を聞いた。
「今はもうあたりまえのこととして慣れましたけどね。なにかはわからないけど変なものはいます。僕の部屋は二階でしょ。なのに窓の外を人影が通るんです。それも昼夜間わずにしょっちゅうです。レコードを聴いているでしょ。A面かもうすぐ終わるなと思っている時、下に電話がかかってきて誰かが取り継いでくれる。呼ばれて下へ降りていって電話を済ませますよね。部屋へ戻るとレコードのB面がかかっているんです。テレビをつけっばなしにして寝るでしょ、朝起きるとテレビがちゃんと消えている、寝坊していると誰かが僕をつついて起こしてくれる。起きるともちろん誰もいない。よくあります。最初は気味悪かったけれど、今は友達みたいなもんですよ。」
さて、彼の証言が本当かどうかを確かめようと彼の部屋に泊まり込んだ数人の物好きがいた。彼らの話によればこうだった。
「夜中、彼の部屋に数人で泊まったんです。酒飲んでわぁわぁ言いながら夜中を待ったんです。彼は絶対出ると自信満々なのに一向に幽霊は出てこない。大勢いると妙なもので変に強気になって、誰かが『出れるもんやったら出てきやがれ！』と大声をあげたんです。そしたらその瞬間、部屋の隅に置いてあったギターがボロローンと鳴ったんです。みんないっぺんに酔いが冷めちゃって」
In the same neighbourhood as the university, there was a dormitory, known as 'K Dorm.' It looked an old building, and on the second floor, there lived a first year student.
There has always been strange stories about the dormitory, but for generations, there have been rumours about this boy's room being inhabited by ghosts.
This is the story heard from the boy himself...
"These days, I'm used to these things- they're like ordinary occurences. There is something strange here.. though I don't know what it is. My room is on the second floor, but even so, the shadow of a person passes by my window. This happens frequently... both day and night.
I'll be listening to a record, and just thinking that the A-side was about to finish, when the telphone rings downstairs. Somebody answers it, and lets me know, so I go downstairs and take the call. When I return to my room, the B-side of the record is playing. I fall asleep with the television on. When I wake up in the morning, the television is switched off. Somebody must have turned it off whilst I was asleep, but of course when I awaken, no body is there. This happened often. At first it was a little creepy, but now it's just like a friend."
There were many people who were curious to check out this boy's story, and they went to stay in his room. This is what they said:
"We stayed in that room throughout the night. Drinking alcohol and being merry, we waited for midnight. Once he had left, we were so sure but... the ghost did not come out. Becoming unusually confident (as one does when in a large group), somebody shouted 'Show yourself, IF YOU CAN!'
At that moment, the guitar in the corner of the room made a noise. That completely sobered everybody up!"
