When Walter was here

I attended camp one year as a counselor. I think I was around 14 at the time, so I was still a kid myself. One night, the other counselor and I told the girls a made-up story about a man named Walter who roamed the woods at night. After the girls left, I stayed behind and wrote in shaving cream, “Walter was here” on the wall.

The look on those girls’ faces when they saw the writing on the wall was priceless! One girl got so scared she wanted to call home to have her parents pick her up. We had to tell them that the story was made up.

The story was so convincing that I even had trouble sleeping that night, and I was the one who made it up. I guess that was my payback for playing a joke on those poor little girls.
