Haunted Cincinnati: I am here today with the longtime Janitor of the Dent School House who allegedly has been involved in the numerous disappearances that have plagued the school through the years.

Haunted Cincinnati: I have heard that Charlie is your name. Do you have a last name?

The Janitor: I have a real one and one that the media calls me. My real name is Charlie McFree. The media calls me “The Janitor”, but I consider myself a master of janitor arts.

Haunted Cincinnati: I read somewhere that you are 99 years old can you comment on that?

The Janitor: I have been at the school house since 1894 as the master of janitorial arts and you were 42 at the time.

Haunted Cincinnati: Let’s see that would make you about 154 years old?

The Janitor: Once you get past 100 you don’t ask a man about his age.

Haunted Cincinnati: How did you get into the janitorial field?

The Janitor: I idolized the janitor at the school I attended. He a little soft, but still a great cleaner.

Haunted Cincinnati: Sorry, what happened with you and the house?

The Janitor: Everyone makes it out that I am the bad guy. Here is what really happened. A couple of snot nosed brats were getting out of line causing problems for the principal. Pretty much causing a bad learning environment. The principal talked to me and told me that I should talk to the boys and try to talk some sense into them. There was an announcement over the loudspeaker asking the boys to come see me in the basement. I don’t exactly remember how many kids came down, after awhile the deaths run together. I took care of the problem… Permanently.

Haunted Cincinnati: What is your weapon of choice?

The Janitor: Well now what are we talking about cleaning or killing?

Haunted Cincinnati: How about both?

The Janitor: Pipe Wrench and a Mop

Haunted Cincinnati: So you killed people with a mop?

At this point the janitor game me an evil look and was obviously not amused

Haunted Cincinnati: Do you live at the old school house?

The Janitor: Yes, I have a really nice spot in the house. Stop by sometime and I will cook up a batch of my famous roach stew.

Haunted Cincinnati: Sounds Wonderful!

Another evil look and it appears that the janitor is even more angry

Haunted Cincinnati: How did you get away with all of the murders?

The Janitor: Simply put killing and cleaning is easy. The only thing that gave me away was the smell. I took little vacation when things got hot, but now I’m back and ready to resume my position.

Haunted Cincinnati: I have seen your room, and you would think that someone who is such a neat freak would have taken better care of his own room.

Stares at interview with an open mouth and stands up and grabs a broom and throws it at interviewer.

The Janitor: I would like to see you do better after having to put up with 75 snot nosed brats garbage everyday.

Haunted Cincinnati: But, hasn’t the school been closed for 65 years?

The Janitor: Listen sonny, with the amount of killing that has been done around here. There is always a lost spirit making a mess of my clean hallways.

Haunted Cincinnati: Your face appears to be a solid mass of burns were you in a fire?

The Janitor: *Huffs, bites his lip and stares for a long time at me*
I think that for a man over 100 years old I look pretty damn good. I think I smell a good killin’ and then some cleaning coming on *deep laughter and uncomfortable smile*

Haunted Cincinnati: I think that this will pretty much bring an end to this interview. Thank you very much.

The Janitor: No, Thank you and I will expect you to come down for your roach stew one of these days.

Haunted Cincinnati: If you are still breathing I wouldn’t hold your breath….
