2. Is there a room in your house or a house in your neighbourhood/locality where you would rather not go alone, and never at night? If there is such a place and a story to go with it, let others hear all about it

Answer: A primary school in our neighborhood has a basement where garbage items such as a chalkboard, table, chair, bricks, and even ripped charts are collected. Nobody is permitted to enter since it is said to be haunted by reptiles. The basement has an odd odor, and there are a few rats scurrying about here and there. Getting to such a location is an adventure. I'll go there one of these days, but not now.
