It is the Monday morning of the 31^st October 2011, when 8.25 in the morning everyone is getting ready to go to Media Lesson. Ava and Michelle are already in class (sitting at the front) bright and early gossiping about what happened to Sophie (A disliked girl in the class) over the weekend and talking about boys. On the other hand, Jared is sitting next to Ava fidgeting with his brand new Blackberry 9700 which he seems to be well pleased about acquiring. 2 minutes later Sam walks in just before the lesson commences as usual with her geeky high pitch voice, and nerdy glasses. She then rudely interrupts Ava and Michelle’s conversation saying that “I have got something to show you”, she then reaches into her huge bag and brings out a hand held camera, Ava and Michelle struggle to contain there laughter as they don’t understand why Sam has brought in a camera.

After being mocked for being such a geek Sam reveals that she brought the camera to Jared, Michelle and Ava because she wanted them to play a game. Sam then got the camera out and starting filming Jared, Ava and Michelle who don’t seem too pleased about having a camera in their faces. Sam for the second time reaches into her bag and brings out candles and some random letters from the alphabet. She then whispers that she has planned to play the game seeing whether the big fuss about the Ouija Board is true. Ava, Jared and Michelle initially seem to hesitate and disagree with this idea, deeming it “risky” and “taboo”. However, Sam eventually manages to persuade the group to take part in this adventure/experiment to see whether it is actually real since it is Halloween today.

Sam says that the group should meet at lunch time to discuss the idea and plan how they are going to manage to play the game in the school without being noticed by anyone especially the hated caretaker. Time then paces, and lunch time has begun and the corridors got crowded and noisy as Sam continues to play with her new camera; the group of four decide to meet by the lockers because Ava needs to get some red lipstick. Sam at this point reveals her plan that they would wait for school to close at around 6 and hide to make sure that the school caretaker does not discover them as it is winter time and the school gets dark quickly. This plan seemed to have established a consensus within the group. They all go their separate ways as they have got different lessons whilst Jared and Ava flirt for a while without knowing that they are being watched from the crack of a door. Then after lessons the group decide to meet up in the attic of the school to hide (no one goes up there), Ava and Jared are continuously flirting in the attic waiting for Michelle and Sam to come up. In the long run, Michelle and Sam turn up after looking out of the window, waiting for the last car to drive off from the car park and so that the gates can close which meant that no one apart from the group was still left in school. Sam and Michelle then head up the stairs towards the attic, Sam seems to be very excited about this forthcoming coming events, she comes prepared with the camera to video the Ouija game as well as torches for the group as it will be dark as the caretaker has witched all the lights off. Being trapped in this creepy school didn’t seem to deter the teens from carrying out the scary game. They then head down the stairs from the attic towards the sports hall, where they were they laid out the game in the centre and continued to laugh and joke about this game. The group play the game in the dark and play with their torch lights pretending to be ghosts and evil sprits. After a while they get bored of the game. Sam and Jared head off around the corner (kissing) whereas; Michelle goes to the toilet heading down the stairs to the bottom level of the school. That left Sam to clear up the mess left behind from the Ouija board game. Still recording after packing up the mess Sam turns around with the camera in night vision to see the face of Michelle right up in the camera, after being shocked the teenagers laugh about the situation.

They then go and find Jared and Ava who had wondered off as they were still joking about how fake and “crap” the Ouija Board was and calling it a waste of time as they walked on the squeaky floor boards. They found Jared and Ava and they planned to leave the school ad get home before their parents start worrying. However, events swiftly change as a door slams behind the group they all start screaming, and they start running down the stairs in hope of finding an escape route. Jared seems to disappear from the group and they had no chance of finding him has it was dark and they could risk their lives. With Jared lost Ava, Michelle and Sam hide to in the school computer rooms on the second floor, after running down the creepy stairs that squeak. They then suddenly see a flash go past the glass door, they all started sobbing and crying out for silent help as they believed that they had released a malicious ghost as a consequence of playing the Ouija Board game which has was extremely psychotic.

Ava then decides to peak out the door to see whether the ghost was fake and to see whether it had disappeared but as soon as she stepped out the door, with the flash light, all that was heard was a lot of screaming and shouting from the helpless Ava. This meant that she had been captured by this demonic spirit. As a result the group was condensed to 2 people. Sam and Michelle were the only two left and they were terrified but had to keep silent as the ghost was still on the loss and they didn’t want to let the ghost know of there were about. But they knew that if they didn’t make a move the likely hood would be that the girls would both get captured by this oppressive spirit.

Therefore, they decide to split and run different ways to confuse the ghost but it seemed like Michelle was the escape goat in this situation as she vanished like Jared did earlier in the scene. Consequently, only armed with a Torch the geeky nerd Sam with her small frame went around the school looking over her shoulders every time trying to spot the ghost, Sam searched for a hiding place in the school which she hoped that the ghost could not reach her. So she ran straight into the girl’s toilet, looked the door and hid in it for several minutes. It seemed as if the ghost had left Sam alone and gone back to the pit of heel.

Sam in the dark toilet shocked with sweat, was still filming in hope of capturing the ghost on the camera, after being in the dark for so long, Sam felt a bit safer and she planned to stay in the school until someone came to rescue her using the cameras night vision to spot the ghost.

Except, the door Slammed open, Sam who was in a state of shock dropped the camera under the toilet which gave the ghost a clear idea where Sam was located. All that could be seen was a body covered with blood everywhere, then slowly footsteps progressed to Sam`s toilet she screamed ferociously in suspense hoping that someone could hear her but is it too late?....
