A while ago, there lived an obedient kid, who was so much obedient that all the parents in the neighborhood used to compare their kid with him. Yes, he was the typical Sharmaji's son, but in terms of manners and social order. But the school peon took advantage of his behavior and sometimes even blackmailed him.
One fine day, the peon once again wanted to bully the kid. He ordered the kid to throw his own watch inside the well to which the student couldn't deny due to the fear of being bullied. Hence, he threw it inside the well. And now, the evil peon threatened him to get inside the well to get the watch with the condition that he'll complain his parents that he threw his own watch. The kid did jump into the well, but unfortunately, it marked his end. The peon then closed the well, thinking that he was still searching his watch with no knowledge of the accident.
The next day, the parents complained the principal for the missing of the child and hence a search operation was conducted and the child was nowhere to be found, including the well. The peon was questioned too, but he didn't answer with the fear of being jailed and there was no suitable evidence found too. Soon, rumors spread that the boy had committed suicide. Blog posts related to this case sprang up on the trending pages. The other students reported cases of a boy asking for his watch, while some reported theft of watches.
The school was declared haunted by the media. Few days later, the death of the peon was reported and surprisingly, the bullied kid's watch was found on his neck. Fearing the police and the media, the principal immediately shut down the school a year after the case. Newspapers flooded with articles that mentioned the death of trespassers who sneaked into the school.
To this second, this fictional school remains haunted with the trespassers hearing one question from a 10-year-old kid, "Where is my watch?"
