Bugged Python code leads to freshman being possessed by ghost

On Friday, October 13th, in an eighth-period freshman computer science class, a bugged Python file led to Nikhil Bhatt being possessed by the ghost of Montgomery Blair for several minutes before being released with no memory of the incident.

When interviewed later, Nikhil stated, “I was just writing my code and then there was some ghost bug, followed by me getting this really bad headache.” According to other students in the class, about 60 minutes into the period, the lights started flickering and they saw the glowing body of a student floating up in the air, which was identified as Nikhil. Nikhil then started screaming, saying that his name was Montgomery Blair and that he was going to “haunt the students for eternity for participating in such witchcraft.” He also said, “You had better make me Postmaster-General again or I will bring death and destruction down upon you. The mail must be delivered, the mail, the maiiiillllll…”

The paranormal activity ended not long after, with the lights turning back on, Nikhil sitting back down in his seat, and the class continuing on as usual. He later told us “All my classmates told me I had been glowing or something, but I have no idea what they were talking about.” The substitute teacher that day, Mr. Blair, the great-great grandson of Montgomery Blair himself, seemed to have no memory of the incident or simply did not notice that anything strange had happened. Fellow magnet student and friend of Nikhil, Elleiss Gou, backed up the statements of the students, insisting that her friend had indeed been possessed by a ghost and that the school should pay him for the emotional damages he suffered that day.

When asked about the events, sophomore and glorious leader of the Silver Splinter Justin Rosentover stated, “In the unlikely event that this is true, could they please become possessed again? I have some questions about postal codes.” Sophomore Yongle Xin had different opinions and was heard cursing under his breath in the hallways. He told us, “It wasn’t fair that the freshies had all the fun and we just had to take some darn test.”
