The AP Model Residential School on the outskirts of C Belagal in Andhra Pradesh was in news recently for all the wrong reasons! On saturday, the school was reduced to an empty building when all its girl students vacated the premises within 24 hours. This followed an incident on Friday when one of the class IX students reportedly heard spooky sounds and wails when she woke up at midnight. Next day, the terrified student called her parents and went back to her home. And within no time, other students followed suit.
