Track
Many years ago, an overweight slightly retarded child named Tommy D ran the mile in 14 minutes and 41 seconds — the worst time in school history. After being teased by his peers, the boy referred to as Tommy Dummy was determined to run the mile faster. One weekend, Tommy went to the field and ran the mile alone in under ten minutes. This is known only because he corpse was found at the finish line the following Monday grasping his stopwatch. Since then, each time students run the mile, they feel cold spots around the field, especially where the body was found. On foggy mornings, others report seeing an apparition jogging around the field. It is further alleged that watches cease to work just as anyone is nearing the finish line — thus no one can ever get an accurate time. Even more uncanny, the second hand is always said to stop on 14 or 41 seconds past the minute.

I know this story is true because I’m that fat little retarded boy. I didn’t die though. My jogging shorts fell off and I hit my head. A homeless guy stole my stopwatch. Mamma says I look like a box of choclates. I like to run. I run all over. I’ll run to your house if you want me too.

I think that most important question here is, who cares if your watch stops? Or if i feel cold spots. good, it’s cooled me down. this is a lame story, regardless of it’s validity. why would anyone be scared by that ghost? it’d actually be kinda hilarious. a ghost retarded boy is cooling me off and also ******* up my time. he’s a loser

Okay I’ve lived in Washington my whole life and I even went to the school that this “haunted” track is on and it is NOT true. I’ve ran that track along with all the other kids at my school and no watch has ever stopped or battery died. The cold spots are because of the way the track is positioned cause its just above swamp land. There is a river a few feet back which causes the fog in the morning, some spots alot worse than others. This is just some person who got really bored and tried scaring ppl
