According to the letter published in ‘Lankadeepa’(news paper) on Sunday:
The student who had passed away last year owing to a train accident in Alawwa, had been first admitted to Peradeniya Teaching Hospital. Later on, she had been admitted to a Private hospital in Colombo and she had passed away while she had been under treatment.
One of her legs had been severely injured due to the accident. Her ghost is said to be moving around the school. It has been reported that not only the school students but also their parents had been terrified by this incident.
An occasion organized by the nurses from a Nursing School had been taken place at the school auditorium to celebrate the passing out of a nursing batch. Thus the auditorium had been decorated the day before the event. After the decorations, one nurse had taken photos from her digital camera and she had got this photograph.
Since this story had spread Island wide making it to be the rumour of the time, Dr. Janaka JayasuSriya, a medical officer at Galagedara Central hospital had come forward to make an investigation about the case.
“First of all in order to get to know more information, I gave a call to the school. My call was answered by the Vice principal of that school.
“A student who was learning in our school passed away a long time ago. I too hear that a photograph taken by a nurse had captured the’ghost’ of that student.
In order to investigate on this incident, I arranged to take photographs of that building in the mid night. We checked those photographs, but we found no evidence of a ‘ghost’. The students were terrified after the rumours of this story.” Said the Vice Principal.”
She also mentioned that things have been come back to normal and that it is calmed down now.
“Then in order to find more details, I went to that particular Nursing School. One of the senior officers, who had taken the data into a computer, showed me the photograph. I checked the photograph well.
I noticed that the photograph of the ‘ghost’ captured by the nurse showed that the right leg of the student was missing. The nurse told me that the photograph which was taken before this photograph had been blotted as the camera had been moved. So she had taken another instead and in that she had seen that ‘ghost’. This student who had been injured by the accident had first taken treatments at the ward 16 in Peradeniya Teaching Hospital. I went to the hospital to speak to the nurses about this case and found out that the girl’s left leg had been severely injured. I was told that her right leg was not injured at all.Even though the doctor’s have decided to amputate the left leg, the operation had not been performed as the parents had objected to their decision. Thus, the parents had taken her to a private hospital in Colombo and she had passed away there. I was told that her leg was not amputated at that hospital either.
The student, who had been injured by the train accident, had got her left leg injured but it had not been amputated. Yet the photograph shows of a student whose right leg is not seen.
I have carried out many investigations at places where ‘ghosts’ were said to be, but I haven’t seen a ‘ghost’ yet.” Said Dr. Janaka Jayasuriya
