the story behind the skating rink by alexia calderon
One day in a small town of Illinois, there was an eighteen year old girl named Amy. She was very well known throughout the town because she was the best skater at her age. She had all the high titles and she always won national competitions. So one day when Amy was walking to her evening practice. She got attacked by a dark shadowy figure that looked like a blob of smoke. Nobody ever saw Amy again and some people even say that when there are competitions at the skating rink the contestants say that they see a shadowy figure around the competitions judging tables and people think it could be Amy watching the show beside the judges. It has also been said that Amy has not left the rink but still continues to haunt everyone who skates there.
Twenty five years later while another eighteen year old girl named Kate was skating at the ice skating rink, she noticed sounds like if someone was skating beside her. She heard a SHUSHHHH sound very close to her ear and then all around her she heard the same sound echoing around the loud speakers around the rink. When she heard these crazy sounds getting louder and closer she decided to hurry up and packed up to leave. The evening after Kate went back to the ice skating rink after all night wondering could the sound be coming from the rink or her own mind. So while she was putting her skates on she felt a chill going down her back. The first thing she thought of was to go and tell the manager of the chills she felt and wondered if she was the only person who felt these cold chills while being there. The manager named Amy told Kate not to worry about it and it was nothing. So Kate toke Amy's word and just continued to skate. While skating Kate saw the dark shadowy figure again through the corner of her eye, she stopped skating and just went home. When she got home she researched the history of the skating rink. During the research she came upon the name Amy Smith.
Suddenly from that moment on she realized that the manager named Amy was the same missing eighteen year old girl. Kate decided to confront Amy the morning after about her findings, but once Kate arrived at the rink the owner saw her and said "Do you need any help?" Kate replied "Yes let me speak to the Amy your manager right away." Then the owner said "Sorry we have no manager named Amy here but we did have a popular skating coach here twenty five years ago that was named Amy." Kate was shocked at what she had just heard. She decided to walk home and try to make sense of everything, but as she was walking home she got the same chills from the rink and as she turned around and saw Amy grab her. Till this day she was never heard from again.
After hearing this story it caught my interest and then I decided to put in some time to research it. While I was doing my research I came across the disappearance of the girl named Kate Thomas and how she hasn't been found since a decade ago. While researching, one day I woke up to the sounds of a story on the news of problems at the local ice skating rink. The problem was that the ice had melted and they discovered a decomposed body of a girl at the rink. They discovered her when a malfunction in the freezing system. When I heard this story I was so excited because I had a gut feeling that it could have been Kate Thomas. I'm anxiously waiting to see if it was her. I have been researching her for a year and feel like I know her. When I got the good news that it had been confirmed that it was Kate Thomas who had been found in that melted ice. I know that I had to finish my story on her. So I started to research the rink to see what really happened to Kate Thomas because they had said that most likely she fell onto the melted ice rink and never had been discovered and was left there forgotten.
So I talked to a few employees who had been working there for more than a decade ago. They all said there had been a lot of unexplained accidents with contestants having broken legs, arms and necks. Due to unexplained accidents at the rink people have always felt scared that there was two contestants that broke their neck while competing in a televised in a competition show. Another was when there was a little girl that tripped and broke her leg during her after- school practice. After all these interviews I can't get over the story that had been rumored about a ghost named Amy who was an eighteen year old that was a well-known skater in town, who mysteriously died when walking to practice. Some people say that she haunts the rink since I know the story I want to help her and find out if she is stuck at the rink.
So the next day the first thing I did was go and check out the ice skating rink when I first walked in I felt a chill down my back. After I went to the rink I saw dark figures, they were shaped like two girls. The two girls were talking as if they were secretly planning something. When I saw the front of their faces I knew the figures were Amy and Kate. I got scared but after I decided to go over to them and tell them if they need help. Kate and Amy just laughed. While standing there with disbelief on what I was seeing I saw them get closer and closer I walked back then I tripped over some used skates by a bench. After Amy and Kate got closer they got me.
