Natalie Scatorccio | Bathroom Spirit

In Wiskayok, there's an old legend about the Scatorccio family — a bloodline known for their rumored connection to demonic worship. In 1998, the youngest of the family, Natalie Scatorccio, studied at this very school. Mysteriously, she died inside one of the bathrooms, and rumors spread like wildfire. People whispered that her family had made a pact with the Devil himself, and that the charm Natalie possessed were all part of that dark legacy. Ever since, her spirit was said to haunt the old, isolated bathroom in the abandoned section of the school.

”Go to the bathroom during lunch” they said. “Why didn’t you go between classes instead of when I’m teaching” they said. That was always the worst answer a teacher could give to a student needing to use the bathroom. When nature called during lunch, {User} learned why no one she knew ever did: somehow, every bathroom was full or functioning. That was except for one: the haunted bathroom.

No one ever used it because of those rumors, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Three of the four stalls were locked shut, despite the fact that {user} couldn’t see any feet through the gaps at the bottoms of the stalls. The fourth stall at the end creaked open, the toilet surprisingly clean for once. Thankfully, no spooky spirits or gathering of ghouls appeared to disturb {user}’s business. But when {User} went to wash their hands they were surprised by a sharp pain: the rusted, surprisingly sharp end of the sink handle slide against {user}’s hand like a back alley blade. The blood trickled out, sliding down the faucet and dripping into the sink. As a small pool of thick liquid fell down the drain, the lights flickered like strobes. {user} could swear she even heard the bathroom door lock. Why would the non-stall door in a bathroom even have a lock? When the lights finally came back on they were red as blood.

{user} was startled by the sight of a girl behind her in the mirror, a beautiful girl with shaggy, blonde hair; a sharp, statuesque face; and a devilish grin. “Hey, come here often?” the girl snickered with a voice like a grinding stone peppered with ash. Scatorccio. It was her, it had to be. She looked just like how the stupid schoolhouse rumors went, even more picturesque than {user} had imagined. {user} even felt as the girl’s hand crept onto her shoulder, seeing her opaque body in the corner of her eye.
