Incidents

Something funny happened one day as Otis J. Grinsomore and and I were at the tunnels one sunny afternoon in 1986. __We were approaching the school from the south on the east side when we saw a group of people gathered around the small maintenance shed just outside of the schools south entrance near the arches going the theater. There was about 5 of them all about our age early 20's back then. They were painting stuff on the stairs leading down into the small room. "Stairway to hell" and devil stuff like that. We asked them "what was up?" They said that they were going to play a joke on one of their friends that night and wanted to make it look like a satanic cult holding a sacrifice. They were going to get 1 guy to bring him out - jump him and drag the guy into the room and handcuff him to a pillar down there. The other guy would just run away. We thought "cool" and made sure to come back that night after dark to watch the show. We got there just after dark and there was about 7 people there all in masks and stuff. Then everyone had to hide. All of a sudden these 2 guys walk up and everyone jumps out yelling & shit. The one guy runs off, and they grab the other guy. He starts wrestling on the ground, and man this guy is fighting for his life, it takes about 15 minutes to wear him down... then they drag him down into the candle lit room, and handcuff him to the pillar. He is scared shitless and completely out of energy- I cant imagine what was going through his mind. Then, after doing a few satanic chants and shit they bring his buddy in and turn on some flash lights. His buddy starts laughing- His friend was pissed, but relived I'm sure. Everyone was laughing except him. I thought it was a very cruel thing to do but had to witness it. Keep in mind that the guy they were playing the trick on had never been there before.__
