00:00There's something haunting about the echo of childhood memories, how a single hallway can bring it all rushing back.

00:08National Teacher Day was supposed to be a tribute, a nostalgic nod to the mentors who shaped us.

00:15But when Daniel stepped inside Crescent Hollow Middle School for the first time in 20 years, the air didn't feel nostalgic.

00:22It felt... watched.

00:25Some schools closed due to low enrollment, others because of funding.

00:31Crescent Hollow shut its doors in 2004.

00:35The papers claimed mold, but the whispers around town told a darker tale, something about a teacher who never left.

00:44Have you ever felt unseen eyes watching you in the dark?

00:48Welcome to Nightfall Crypt, where shadows whisper, the unknown lingers,

00:53and every story is waiting for you to listen, if you dare.

00:59Daniel had heard the rumors, of course.

01:02Students gone missing.

01:04A teacher found locked in room 2B, her mouth sewn shut with red thread.

01:09But those were stories kids told each other to avoid studying.

01:13That's what he told himself, anyway.

01:16Still, something pulled him back on National Teacher Day.

01:19Maybe it was guilt.

01:22He hadn't been the kindest student to Miss Lavinia Carter, the stern literature teacher who mysteriously

01:28disappeared one October afternoon.

01:31Some claimed she resigned.

01:34Others swore she was buried under the gym.

01:36He stepped over broken glass in the main hallway, flashlight cutting through the thick darkness.

01:44His old locker.

01:45The trophy case.

01:47The smell of chalk still faint in the air.

01:50But it was room 2B that he came for.

01:52The door creaked open.

01:57Daniel's flashlight flickered.

01:59There, exactly as he remembered it, was Miss Carter's desk.

02:04And the chair, facing the blackboard.

02:07But there was something else.

02:10Words scratched into the wood of Daniel's old desk.

02:13I never left.

02:15He backed up, heart thudding.

02:17The blackboard lit up in his flickering beam, revealing faint words not there moments before.

02:24Today's lesson.

02:26Silence is obedience.

02:30Suddenly, a bell rang through the halls.

02:34But it was 8.17pm.

02:36And the bell system was dismantled years ago.

02:39Daniel's breath caught.

02:41He wasn't alone.

02:43Footsteps, soft, measured, came from the hallway.

02:47Not hurried.

02:48Not clumsy.

02:49Purposeful.

02:50Calm.

02:51Like a teacher on patrol.

02:54He dove behind a desk.

02:56The door opened slowly.

02:58A figure in a faded skirt suit stood in the doorway.

03:01Skin pale as paper.

03:03Eyes dark and sunken.

03:06Miss Carter.

03:08She entered.

03:10Not walking.

03:11But gliding.

03:13Papers fluttering in her wake.

03:14You are always disruptive, she whispered, voice brittle like torn pages.

03:22But we correct behavior.

03:24Eventually.

03:26Daniel bolted, sprinting into the hallway.

03:28But it shifted.

03:30Where once was the cafeteria now stretched another endless row of lockers.

03:34The school was rearranging itself.

03:36He ran until he reached the gym.

03:40Inside, the bleachers sat hollow.

03:42And in the center of the court was a desk.

03:45Her desk.

03:47The bell rang again.

03:49He fell to his knees, clutching his ears.

03:52The intercom crackled.

03:54Attendance will be taken.

03:57Suddenly, ghostly versions of students began materializing on the court.

04:01Each one sitting upright at invisible desks.

04:04They turned in unison to look at him.

04:07You're late, Mr. Daniels.

04:09It was her voice.

04:11He screamed.

04:14Daniel woke up in the janitor's closet hours later.

04:17Alone.

04:19Covered in chalk dust and old report cards scattered around him.

04:23The door creaked open.

04:25Sunlight poured in.

04:26The school was normal.

04:29Empty.

04:30Quiet.

04:31But as he turned to leave, one detail chilled him to the bone.

04:36The blackboard in room 2B now read,

04:39Next lesson.

04:41Daniel.

04:43They say a teacher's influence lasts forever.

04:47That the lessons they teach echo through time.

04:50But what if the teacher never stops teaching?

04:53Crescent Hollow Middle School still stands, boarded up on the edge of town.

05:00Every National Teacher Day, someone sees a light flicker in room 2B.

05:04And every year, someone goes missing.

05:06So here's the real question.

05:08Who was your favorite teacher growing up?

05:10And more importantly, are you sure they ever really left?

05:14And so, the shadows stretch further, and the mystery only deepens.

05:21But this is far from the end.

05:24It's merely the beginning.

05:26What lingers beyond the door?

05:28Who is whispering your name?

05:31And what is that shifting in the corner of your eye?

05:34The answers await in the next chapter of these chilling tales.

05:38Subscribe to Nightfall Crypt and hit the notification bell.

05:44Because the crypt's secrets are endless and the darkness never sleeps.

05:49Until next time, stay in the light if you can.
