Before any confusion arises, I have to tell you that my church and my school are one in the same. It was a couple of years back and we had a very old station wagon to drive around. After church one Sunday night, we had open gym. Being a sports oriented family, we stayed. Once they closed the gym we collected our things and were ready to go. When we got in the car, it wouldn't start. Besides us, the only people left were the assistant pastor and his family. They offered to jump start the car but it wouldn't start. *The odd thing is that the people at the shop told us it was the battery so a jump start should have fired it right up.* We tried jumping it for a while, but to no avail.

Finally, the pastors family had to leave. So he unlocked a door for us so we could go inside and call a tow truck. My mom, my sister, my brother, and I all went inside because it was cold outside. My mom called the tow truck and he said it would be about an hour. It was already almost 10:00 P.M. So my mom and my sister went outside in the parking lot to wait for the tow truck. Me and my brother stayed inside in the gym foyer. In the gym foyer we have the reception desk. The door was unlocked to it, so we just sat in there and went through the drawers. We had been sitting there for maybe a half an hour when we heard something funny. Out of no where we heard someone upstairs running through the hallway and slamming the doors. It was constant for about 15 minutes, then it stopped. By this time me and my brother were huddled under the desk freaking out. When it stopped we yelled for my sister to come in and stay with us. So she was in there and we heard it again. So we made my mom come in there with us too. We just hoped the tow truck guy would see us. So my mom was in there for a good 10 minutes, and she didn't hear it. The tow truck had arrived and my sister and mom went back outside to talk to him. Me and my brother double checked the parking lot, and the only cars there was ours and the busses. All of a sudden we heard the noise again, only this time, we heard the steps run down the stairs to the gym foyer and the "D" door to outside fly open and then nothing until it closed. Right after that, my mom came and got us and we went outside. When we got out there the tow truck guy successfully jump started our car. To this day we don't know what was in our church, but whatever it was, it was big, and it was definitely there.
