A Walk in the School (Episode 8)

Two boys, Boyd and Tum set out to bust the ghost stories popular in school by walking around the school at night and doing a live stream.

Boyd narrates the ghost stories that are intertwined with the history of the school and finally claims that no ghosts exist when suddenly the ghosts make an appearance. Boyd and Tum try to run away but are stuck on the terrace where the only way is through a mysterious door.

Boyd refuses to go through that door because he now believes in ghosts but Tum insists that they flip a coin to decide. Whoever wins can make the other person do whatever they want. This was reminiscent of another horror story at the school where two boys flipped a coin and the one who lost died.

Who wins the coin flip?

Tum chooses heads while Boyd has tails. Tum flips the coin and it lands on heads. This means that Boyd and Tum will have to go through the door, much to the fear of Boyd.

Many years ago, when Boyd was a little kid, he and his friend had found themselves on the same terrace before the same door and when Boyd’s friend had lost the coin flip, he went through the door and never came back. He cried for help but Boyd abandoned his friend. Tum had recreated the same story.

What happens to Tum?

Throughout the live stream, Boyd had been receiving calls that he ignored. At this point, he is baffled as to how Tum knows about his friend from the past.

That’s when he picks up a call from a classmate who tells him that Tum died that day in a road accident and never made it to school. So, all this while, Boyd had been interacting with Tum’s ghost. Boyd is really spooked.

Does Boyd go through the door?

After flipping the coin, it is decided that both Tum and Boyd will go through the door. Tum goes in first and Boyd follows him.

This time, Boyd doesn’t abandon his friend. Beyond the door, Boyd is reunited with his childhood friend and all three of them, including Tum, are at peace.
